A Trip to Newlin.

Among the different parties
who visited Newlin canon Sunday
none enjoyed the day better than
the one that made the trip in O.
l.. Gibbs camp wagon. An early
start was made and the drive was
continued for some distance above
the upper dam site, where an ideal
spot was found for camping. The
party consisted of Mr.. and Mrs.
O. l.. Gibbs, Mr.. and Mrs. Jas.
Stewart, Miss Mckenna. Paul
Lining and j. f. Greenawalt.
One not acquainted with the facts
would have thought from the
amount of provender disposed of
that the party was made up OF
twice that mum Der of people, but
a trip up Newlin way would in
sure an appetite for the veriest
dyspeptic.
After dinner the canon was ex-
plored for considerable distance,
and O. l.. tried his hand Mt fish
ing. That, however, was the only
failure of the day, for while the
creek abounds with trout. they
were wary of the line and fly.
The only trophy brought back
by the party was bunch of six
rattles taken from a snake killed
in the trench near the water works
camp. 1t was case of 1--WE killed
the bear" as no one would con-
cede the honor OF finishing the
"varmint" to anyone else.
At eight O'Clock the party was
back in Florence, feeling that
they had visited one of the
prettiest places in Fremont
county.

The Robinson Franchise.

The common council of the
town of South Canon manifested
the right spirit and showed good
judgment last night by passing an
ordinance which grants to Thos.
Robinson the same franchise as
that granted by the town of Flor
ence. Over in Canon City the
council turned down the Rob-
inson franchise, and granted to
Henry Earle franchise for a
railway on certain streets which
will make about three miles of
track. For this franchise Mr..
Earle will pay the city a certain
per cent. of the gross earnings of
the road when it is once placed in
operation.
Harry Robinson is in South
Canon today to file acceptance of
the franchise. Articles of incor-
poration will be filed with the
secretary of state this week, and
the work of construction will be-
gin at an early date.

THE STANDARD YARDSTICK.
Years of study and Experiments
Were Necessary to Produce 1t.


people who handle the yardstick
have bur little idea of the years of
study and experiments that were nee
essary TO secure the standard yard
measure" observed an official of the
coast survey.
Bird, a famous scientist made the
first standard yard in 1760, but the
English government did not legalize it
until 1924. Ten years afterward,
when the house of parliament in Lon
don was destroyed by fire, the stand
ard yard was lost. and England was
again without standard yard of
length. Sheepsbanks next made a
standard measure. which the English
government adopted, and. so that it
could not be again destroyed by
fire, four authorized copies were made
of it. One of these was deposited in
the royal mint. another in the Royal
society. another in the observatory at
Greenwich, and the fourth was i'm
bedded in the walls of the new house
Of parliament.
1.-THE standard yard measures which
are owned by the government are cop
les of the original. one of which is
owned by the coast survey. The Unit
ed States naval observatory has one
also. The delicacy of it's construction
may be gathered by the fact that a
change of temperature of one-hun-
dredth of = degree of Fahrenheit has
been found to produce z sensible effect
ON the length of the bar.
''The copies of the standard are
made of bronze. for the reason that
bronze is less affected by temperature
than any distinct or single metal
''The cost of the construction of the
original standard yard measure in
YoIved the labors of Bird and his as
sistants for nearly six years. Sleeps
banks was II years in producing the
accurate copies which he made from
Birds original measurements. ."-Wash-

WHAT MAKES SUCCESS.
Its the Man, Not the JOb-There Are
PossibiIities In Everything.


1--WE are forever going to begin work
in earnest tomorrow" said Mr.. Stay
bolt, "and we are never satisfied with
the job we've got, and we perform the
labor involved in it in only half heart
ed manner. but we are going to work
in dead earnest when we get a job to
suit us.
The fact is that tomorrow, when we
get to it, will be to us as today is to US
now; we shan't feel any more like
work. And that other job, when we
come in actual contact with it and see
it close at hand, won't suit us any bet
ter than the one we've got now does.
1.-The truth is that we are dawdlers
and shy of work and trying to get
along just as easy as we can. We hate
to pitch in and so at things.
1.-The time for us to work is now, not
tomorrow. and the job for us to collar
is the one We've got. Round that up in
style. do the work completely and thor
oughly. and you'll be astonished to find
how you'll bring it OUT and what
chances there are in it. And every
body that knows about your work or
is in any way concerned or affected by
it. as il is done well or ill. will be de-
lighted to see it we'll dore-everybody
likes to see a job, whatever it is. well
done-and pleased with the doer and
there's money in it every time.
1T isn't the job that makes success;
it's the man. and don't you forget it,

A FRESH SAMPLE OF M,LAURINIsM.

Port Gibson, July 5.-There was a
barbecue and big political meeting
yesterday at Barland, in the Brandy
wine district of this county. There
we're no State nor United States sena-
torial candidates present. Hon. J..
McC. Martin and Hon. j. NJ, Spencer
both addressed the audience in the
interest of purity in politics generally.
Mr.. Martin criticised the administra-
ton of Gov. McLaurin and opposed
his candidacy for the United States
Senate. Mr.. Martin also read to the
audience and criticised a certain cir.
cular letter received by number of
voters of this county bearing the let.
ter head of Judge w. X. McLaurin,
the circuit judge of this district, of
which the following is copy:
"Vicksburg, Miss, May 81, 1899.
my Dear Sir-I write to ask your
support in behalf of Gov. McLaurin
for the United States Senate. The
fact that he is my brother makes me
anxious for his success, but even with
all my affection for him would not ask
your support did l not believe him
eminently qualified for the place.
The abusive and slanderous manner
in which he is being attacked by those
who could not dictate to him makes
me more anxious that he should secure
vindication at the hands of the peo-
pie. Anything you may do for him
will be properly appreciated, and l
beg to assure you that it will at all
times be my pleasure to show this ap-
probation when the opportunity pre-
sents itself. With best wishes, l am
your friend.
"W. X. M'LAURIN."
