 YEARS LONGER. Effort of Young Men to Make Insti- tuition Self Sustaining Meets With an Unexpected
 Obstacle.

The expected petition, containing a change in the system of managing th' county poor house whereby 1t could be made self supporting was presented tc the Board of Revenue at it's meeting yes terday.
 It had been announced that certain young men of Montgomery would submit 8 petition to the Board with a plan to make the institution pay its own ex- penses.

RURAL FREE DELIVERY.

The sixty-two applicants who want to be carriers- for the Postoffice Department in the free rural delivery system. which the government has announced that il will establish in Montgomery have been patiently awaiting the appearance of the soecial agent who is to put on the ser vice. They have grown a bit uneasy at his non-eppearance.
 His delay in coming, however, is on account of the bill now pending in Con gress which seeks to let the rural free delivery service out by contract and not pay the stated salary as has heretofore been the custom in that branch ot inc service.
 The Southern Congressman are fighting this bill. They predict that if the service is done by contract that the work will

HORSEANDAUT RACE
An Exciting Runaway Last
Night Without a Dra-
matte Finish.
matte Finish.

It was dark, and the sound of rapidly
moving hoofs rafting over flint-like cob.
blestones at once attracted the attention
of pedestrians, for it was but the thought
of a moment to determine that the noise
was made by a runaway. North Fifth
street is not by any means unfamiliar
with the sound of rapidly moving eques-
and carriage repositories, and the loud
halloos of the stable accessories" are a
part and parcel Of life on this particular
thoroughfare;. but the rattle and clatter
of this occasion was so plainly that of a
driverless horse bent on causing trouble,
and the possibility of a crash with pass
ing electric car was SO evident, that quiet
loiterers and pedestrians became curious
and excited spectators.
Suddenly, from the darker regions below
Marshall street two balls Of fire leaped
into view. A swish, a snort. grunt; a
dark object approached and flew past
with two rays of light shining from the
front and a cloud of vapor emerging from
the rear Quickly the race was on,
1t seems that prominent citizen had
made arrangements to take friend
driving and whilst he left the horse and
vehicle temporarily alone the said horse
had for certain unknown reasons, sud
denly dashed off. Equal to the occasion.
however, another party manned his auto
andastarted in pursuit.
What might have been the result of
this unique and not to say up-to date
performance, is hard to tell. The horse,
with amazing speed and apparently I'M
swerving purpose, covered the space be-
tween Broad and Marshall streets and
dashed on toward Clay. People shrunk
close against walls and fences. and dodg-
ed behind tree boxes. Frow doorways
and alleys the curious poked their heads.
The auto bounced and snorted on.
AS the runaway horse arrived oppo--
site the last livery stable, a peculiar thing
occurred. The stable accessories came
to the front and won the day. Was there
heroic and startling act of a brave by
stader? Not n1.ci1. Was there gallant
and awe-inspiring dash and struggle for
supremacy of the human over the dumb +?
Not OH your life.
A resonant and powerful chorus OF
"Whoar' suddenly came from the Threats
of score of darkeys. The ears of the
horse stood upright, he slackened, then
slowly and finally stopped. and was led
quietly to hltching-post. The automobile
dashed up. its operator calmly stepped to
the ground, conversation began to en-
sue, and the writer passed on.

TENDER Observation-Disclosures was court
day at Lancaster. but the crowd present
was considerably smaller than usual. The
courtroom was we'll filled. however. when
our popular Congressman, Hon. w. A.
Jones, arose to address the Democrats.
Mr.. Jones's speech was an able effort
one that opened the eyes of all his hear
ers, especially when he spoke of trusts,
imperialism and expansion. He does not
believe Organism was the cause of recent
Democratic defeats. and very clearly ex-
planned his reasons for so thinking.
Though there is more Democratic oppo-
sition to Mr.. Jones in this county than
in any other Of the Neck. he received a
hearty welcome and continuous cheers.
The graded school here opened On Mon
day with over forty scholars. The chill
dren this year will he given six months
of free schooling, while heretofore they
have had only five. The school here open
ed earlier than any others.
The trustees have shown great interest
in having comfortable houses for the
children and teachers this year. Nearly
every school building has undergone many
repairs, and at Providence neat house is
being built.

directors have announced. will be he'd
on the 18TH 18th. and 18th of October.
and week later, on the ed. 24th, and
25th the same grounds, situated here. Will

At this time there seems to be more
interest taken in the colored fair than
