Home Investments Are Best

two or three years is Largely response
Bile for the well equipped electric
street railways at Burlington and
Brattleboro as well as the several other
proposed roads in Vermont which are
now certainty. The explanation is
simple. The panic drove the doubtful
financial institution in the west. in
which Vermont money had been
pouring for years, to the wal and
awakened capitalists to realizing
sense that safe investments must be
found nearer home. These men had
but TO give the matter thought and
study to find paying projects with a
fair promise Of good returns right ut
home. The results thus far are under

able to believe that more capital will
be invested in Vermont enterp. ises
during the next five years than for
the past quarter of century.

He Is q Hero.

He Is a Hero.
COLUMBIA, S. c.. March 1S.-Tom
Carter, a colored man, who works at
Strickland's stables, proved himself a
hero yesterday afternoon and but tor
his courage and doing one human life,
in all probability, would have been
lost. Carter was standing on the
street near the Grand Central when a
runaway mule attached to wagon,
in which was little child, passed by
at a terrific speed. Garter with a great
deal of presence of mind and with
danger to his own life rushed after
the wagon, caught it, got in and took
the child in his arms and jumped out,
saving the child's life and suffering
no injury himself. The mule and
wagon belonged to Mrs. Hendrix OF
Lexington County, and it was stand
ing quietly on Plain street just op'
posite Mimnaugh's establishment yes
terday afternoon about 4:3O o'clock.
Rev. MIR. Blackburn came riding UP
the street on his bicycle and the mule
got frightened. Without moments
warning it dashed off towards Main
street. In turning into that street,
Mrs. Hendrix and one of the children
were thrown out. Spectators thought
they certainly must have been killed,
but when they were reached it was
found that to all appearances they had
only been badly bruised. The little
girl escaped almost harmless, but Mrs.
Hendrix, who was already unwell,
suffered more or less injury which
happily was not serious.
In the meantime the mule went on
the mad career down Main street to,
wards the Opera House. The little
child was in the wagon and the many
people lined along the streets expected
to see it instantly dashed to death as
the mule was heading straight for the
curbstone at the corner of Washing
ton and Main streets. All stood mo
tionless and speechless, when sud
denly Carter dashed out from the
crowd and sped after the runaway
like deer. He caught up with ths
wagon and got the child out as already
told. The mule was finally stopped a
Washington street just as it was abou
| to turn the corner and run into tele
graph pole. Carter didn't seem t
realize what an act of bravery he hae
done and modestly took the child bacl
to the Grand Central Hotel. Th'
crowd, however, appreciated what h'
had done and instinctively every mar
went in his pocket and handed Garter
dollars. half dollars, quarters, dime!
and nickles until, it is estimated, HI
had $40 or more.
Mrs. Hendrix and the child wht
were thrown out of the wagon wer'
taken to a residence on Plain stree
near the scene of the runaway and I
physician was called in who attended
to their injuries, which as statet
proved not to be very serious.-Regis
