And it Did Rain Some!
EIGHT INCHES OF WATER
FELL IN ELEVEN HOURS-NOT
MUCH DAMAGE TO FRUIT.


The heavy downfall of rain
from 9 o'clock Monday even
ing to 8 o'clock Tuesday
a. M, was the heaviest ever
known in this section, so say
all we oldest Inhabitants,
The wind up came about 8
in the morning with an in
creased downpour of water,
accompanied by considerable
wind, and causing such a
rush of water against the dam
at Lake Lauderdale that it
gave way, and now the ap-
proach to the Piney Woods
Inn is one great big yawning
guilt. The rush of water
down through Jimtown
caused some damage, washing
away dams, drowning a few
chickens, pigs and one horse.
The horse belonged to |. G.
Edgerton, who had reached
Jimtown creek to find it too
full to pass over with a load
of fruit; he unhitched his
horsesand attempting to swim
them over was caught by a
rush Of water from the above
lake, washing one of them
to his death under the bridge.
Mr.. Edgerton saved himself
by letting the horse go and
swinging to the bridge, which
however, remained intact.
Near the residence of Mr.. P. Fl.
Beck one electric light pole was
washed down, and a huge mass OF
dirt moved from under the water
main. P. X. McLean's residence
on Page street was left in bad
shape by being undermined, and
Capt. A. M: Clarke's fence washed
down, on the alley leading to
Cameron's livery stable from Ben
nett street. His hennerv in jim
town was also considerably dam
aged.
The streets in every part of
town were all more or less washed,
and some of them rendered almost
impossible in places, but this dam
age, the worst of it at least, has
been repaired. People within
radius Of several miles report bad
washouts on the roads, but none

ToTING BIZ M1CHINE.

The impression is generally prevalent
that the counting of the ballots in the
recent New York election was done by
machine. AS the returns of the election
were not complete so as TO enable the, re-
suit TO be known until late in the even
ing of Tuesday it is not right that the
belief should be allowed to prevail. The
law allows the use of the voting machine
in New York. But the option allowed by
the law does not seem to have been
availed of except in the case of a single
election district. It was in Brooklyn, and
the result of the experiment should be
more generally known than it now is.
The count of the ballots cast through
the machine was effected in two minutes
after the close of the polls, and the re
suit is found to have been absolutely ac-
curate. 1t was the first trial of the yot-
ing machine in New York, and the out
come fully sustains the most unqualified
claims made on BEHALF of the machine.
Absolute secrecy was secured in the cast
. ing of the ballots, and the scheme of tax
ing off tissue copies of the ballots cast
which is device somewhat in use among,
vote buyers and vote sellers, is prevented.
The voters did not experience any DIFF
fculty whatever in casting their ballots.
1t is time to bring this device into gen.
eral use. 1t has every advantage which
the present system does not possess-abso-
lutte accuracy, comparative inexpensive
ness, complete secrecy and prompt an
nouncement of the result. Anyone who
has any knowledge of the tremendous
labor and expense involved under the
present system of counting the ballots
and compiling the figures needs no argu-
ment in favor of some other and better
method.
Much as the Australian ballot has done
for the publication of the ballot box, it
has not done ALL Even in this city it
was seen not SO long ago that fraud is
still a possibility. In remote districts,

1t is rather interesting about John and
June. They met for the first time in
July, and now June is the mistress of
Johns house, and from their demeanor,
you think they were ready to celebrate
a wooden wedding at least. But it all
came about in the most natural manner
possible.
John had once looked like a young Zulu,
aged seven. His skin was tanned to the
proper Zulu color because while attend
ing the district school in the country in
one of the Northern states he had been
in swimming on an average Of about
three times a day The swimming privi-
leges, though utilized to the utmost by
him and his compaions, were far, very
far from the best. They consisted of

among the weeds at the bottom; then his
comrades pulled him out and laid him
upon the bank and he got better. Boys
generally get better.
Later, because of family conditions, he
was taken to town beside the great
blue river, the ST. Clair, and there among
another set of companions, he learned
another style of performance in the
water. He learned to climb to the yard

dive fifty feet downward into water

to swim the sheer mile across to the
Canadian shore. He was one. of the

The earliest inhabitants of England
We're the Celts, who were revealed to his
tory by the invasion of the Romans I'M
der Julius Caesar, So B. C. One hundred
years later, 45 A. D., the Celts were con-
quered by the Romans, under Claudius.
The Gets were a barbaric race, the in
fallible sign of their barbarity being the
tattooing of their bodies At the time
of the Roman conquest many Celts fled
to the mountainous regions of Scotland
and Wales, the rest were subdued by the
Romans, became civilized and adopted
the language and the customs of the con-
querors.
In the fifth century. England having
been under Roman rule for over 400
years, the Roman troops were recalled to
Rome to protect the Western empire
against the Cloths and Vandals, who were
threatening its destruction. When. the
Roman troops left England the descend
ants of the barbaric Celts, who had fled
to Scotland and Wales at the time of the
Roman conquest, came down upon the
Romanized Celts and endeavored to re-
cover the possessions of their ancestors
The Romanized Celts were unable to. cope
with them and SO called for assistance
upon Angles, Saxons and Jutes, Teii-
tonic tribes from Schleswig-H olstein. In
Jutland, now known as Denmark In
stead of assisting the Romanized Celts,
they conquered them, drove back the
barbara CeltS to the Businesses of Scot
land and Wales, and finally succeeded IN
establishing themselves in England and
in driving the Romanized Celts farther
and farther west Until those who were
not eXterminated were driven as far west
as Cornwall the most western section of
England. The Romanzed Celts dropped
the Latin language, using in the main the
Celtic, and until the present century the
people of Cornwall spoke the Celtic lam
guage. The last person who spoke it
was Dolly Pentreath, who died in the
early part of the present century. =
The influence was comparatively
slight one-viz in the names of places.
Some of the places in England still bear
the impress of Roman influence. LIN
coln-"coln" is from the Latin colonial
meaning colony. Lancaster, Worcester,
Dorchester are from the Latin castra
meaning camp.

were converted to Christianity by St.
Augustine who came from Rome and as
Latin became the spoken and written
language of the church and monastery.
