Mackay Smith has been with this parish for a
number OF years. lie is a scholar and has ora

the attributes that a rector should have and he

his wife, a beautiful and charming woman, Is
his able coadjutor in his charitable and social
work
Rumors current here that Senator Hale will
have difficulty in being reelected to the Senate
on account of his non-expansion policy are not
credited by those who know something OF his
standing In the Pine Tree State. He Is counted
by those who know him superficially as rather
reserved and cold. but among his people he Is
regarded as being genial and responsive. and
few men In the political world are more popular
In their constituencies. "'Gene Hale" his
supporters call him. and they apt to accept

The statesmen at the Capital resort to various
methods for exercise and relaxation from the

Chaney Bound Oyer.

The case of Jacob Chaney, who is
charged with arson upon the affidavit OF
his wife, was heard on Monday before
Squire Roush.
There was quite an unusual interest
manifested in the proceedings, and many
residents of Union township, where the
crime was committed, were present.
Quite good deal of testimony was sub
mitted. The testimony of Chaney's wife
was ruled out, as the law prohibits q
wife from testifying against her husband.
Her testimony is very strong, and this
will materially weaken the case,
The facts in regard to the case were
given in our last issue. Several of the
parties who were with CLANCY at the
time of the burning Of the barn and 9th
ers who were to meet them testified, and
Squire Roush bound CLANCY over to the
grand jury in the sum of $500 bond.

Circuit Judge,
THOMAS CHERRINGTON.
of Lawrence.

Tomlinson continues to repeat silly
story never heard OF but from one source,
to the effect that a delegation from High.
land county to Senatorial Convention
was sntagonistic to Senator Foraker.
OF course, the members of that delegation
would not dignity, even with denial,
q charge of that Kind, which on the face
of it is ridiculous. On that delegation
were Mr.. @. M. Overmsn, s. N. Patton,
L. R. Duckwall, Irwin Med. Smith and
Capt. D. M. Barrett. The loyalty of
these gentlemen to Senator Foraker has
been shown by their devotion for many
years, and that, too, because they were
his friends and not because they we're
receiving or expecting constant fsvors.
An inquiry would convince any doubt
ing person as to the Senator's true friends
in Highland county. And that gentle
man can always be depended upon for a
frank answer, everybody knows.

Du mped the Pigs.

It rained pigs for about three-quarters

day morning. The pigs were the prop.

Cedarville, but Messrs. Collins and Rife,
it must be understood, were not throw.
ing the porkers away.
The Cedarville parties had purchased
a couple of wagon loads of pigs at this
place, and taken them to the Kramer
House Stables to water. One wagon con.
tanning about forty of the squealers had
been driven out of the back door and left
standing. Tho wagon was drawn by two
large iron-grays. They started running

the disaster and the dumping OF the wag-
on's contents At the turn the wagon
struck two heavy hitching posts Swapping
them off close to the ground. The wag-
on parted, the horses went on and the
pigs went out on the Clifton House pave.
ment, as the bed turned over, in a flying,
squealing heap.
The horses ran but . short distance
down the street when one OF them fell

Struck Gas.

Asa Haynes has been boring we'll on
his farm near Jacksonville, and yester.
day at depth of about hundred feet
gas was struck. The pressure from the
vein was 80 strong as to throw out the
drills and further work was forced to be
suspended. The gas was lit and burned
to height of about ten feet. The
blaze was smothered with wet blankets
and the mouth of the we'll choked, and
to day parties are there considering the
possibility of its utility. 1t may be only
a pocket, in which event the strikeOwill
prove of no great value, but should the
gas prove to come from vein there may
be fortune in it for Mr.. Haynes.

SUMMARY STATEMENT.
The American Bible Society was in
stituted in the year 1916, and bringing
the report made to this Auxiliary in
1914, up to date, we have the following ::
Highland County Society was recog-
nized an Auxiliary of the American Bible
Society March, 1928 Since that time
the society has donated to the Parent
Society in cash aud expended in the
purchase of books the grand total of
$7,435.73 Estimating the books at an
average of ffty cents per copy the society
has circulated in the seventy five years
in the foreign and domestic fields four
teen thousand, eight hundred and seven
ty.one copies of the word of God.
1t is earnestly desired thai all the
churches throughout the county will
take up a collection for this grand cause
during the ensuing year.
During the meeting brief addresses
were made by ministers and others, all
of which were interesting and profitable.
The following topics were unfolded by
DR.. McSurely:
l. The work done by our missions.
2. The need of help.
3. The call to enlighten these Spanish
speaking countries.
The liberality of the American Bible
Society, in connection with the Army
and Navy League, is referred to by
Dwight L. Moody in letter OF July 20,
'9S, in these words.
Through the liberality Of the Ameri
can Bible Society We have been able to
give out thousands OF Testaments
Nearly all the regulars now before San.
tiago were given Testaments before they
left Tampa. One poor fellow was found
lying dead on that bloody battle field
who could only be identified by his name
on the fly leaf of one of these Testa-
ments."
The meeting was closed with singing
and the benediction.
