FOUNDER OF FEz.
Was Indrees II. Who Lived Nearly a
Thousand Years Ago.

Thousand Years Ago.
Indrees Ii. was the founder Of Fez,
in the one hundredth and ninety-sec-
ond year after the Hegira, which cor
responds to the year S08 Of the Chris
tian era. The site was found for him
by his yizier, the abundance Of water
having decided in its favor. There
were 90 springs on the site, and lux
uriant vegetation The sultan him
self, it is said turned the first sod Of
the new city with a hoe (fas), saying:
Here do / plant my fas, andso, says
the Detroit Free Press, the city came
by its name. This was the old Fez
Gas ell Bali, and it was divided into
two regions, the Andalus bank Of the
river, and the Karueen bank. The
dwellers on the Andalus bank were
those who had been turned out of
Spain by one Of the early caliphs; the
Karueen folk were Of eastern origin,
and they were generally fighting one
with the other. In 1904 the walls
were built, and in 1874 the new town,
Fas Jadeed, was erected. Soon after
wards the mosques and palaces were
built, and since that time there has
been little or no change nthe aspect
of the town Fez is, therefore. prac-
tically a thirteenth century oriental
city, just as it was at the time Of the
last crusade, and it gives to the
stranger who sees it for the first time
an indescribable impression Of pic
turesque and warlike grandeur, with
its battlemepted walls and gates, and
its three outlying forts, which, how
ever, were only builtin 1890.

Beauty and Strength

Are desirable. You are strong
and vigorous, when your blood is
pure. Many--nay, most-women
fail to properly digest their food,
and so become pale, sallow, thin
and weak, while the brightness,
freshness and beauty of the skin
and complexion, depart. Remedy
this unpleasant evil, by eating
nourishing food, and taking a small
dose of Herblne after each meal, to
digest what you have eaten. SOC

day says: A. B. Young. a member of the
Allegheny county bar with an Office at 4SS

then committed suicide at the Hotel Stegel

broken open and on the bed lay the dead
bodies Of the couple. They had on only
their night robes.
Two wounds were in the woman's breast
and one near the heart of Mr.. Young, who
still clutched the revolver in his hand. No
reason for the deed Is known. Mr.. Young
was the son of the Rev. J. w. Young of the
Presbyterian Church at Prosperity, this
county. and was well known here. He went
through the Philippine campaign with the
10th Regiment.

GIRL STOPS A LYNCHING.
Sheriff's Daughter Guards Jail From
South Carolina Mob.

from Columbia S. c., last night says:
Sheriff Lewis Creech of Barnwell has
been saved by his daughter Mary
from the disgrace of having one Of his
prisoners taken from Jail and lynched, a
white prisoner at that Seaborn Moore sur
rendered to the sheriff early on Sunday
morning, saying that in a quarrel at q
dance the night before he had fatally shot
Herbert Sanders. Particulars Of the killing
cannot be obtained, but it seems that the
young farmers were jealous about a local
belle. Sanders friends made hostile de-
monstration, and Moore hurried across
country to the Jail for protection.
Last night Sheriff Creech went into the
country, leaving his daughter in charge of
his house. The Jail is in the same building,
and the girl had the keys to 1t. About 10
o clock there was a noise in the yard, and.
opening the door, Miss Creeech was met by
a dozen masked men. They told her that
they had come for Moore, and demanded
that the Jail be opened, and that his cell be
shown to them. Miss Creech replied that
she would get the keys from her fathers
room and return in minute.
She was back within the specified time,
but poked a rifle barrel out the door and
ordered the men to withdraw. They were
in the bright moonlight. and she had the
drop on the leader. There was no par
leying; the lynchers hurriedly departed. The
girl mounted guard till her fathers return

Held Before May, 1904.

A New York dispatch says: The trustees
of the will Of Cecil Rhodes have prepared
a memorandum for the information of col
lege authorities and intending candidates
for Rhodes scholarships in the United
States. The first election Of scholars in
the United States under the beduest will be
held between February and May. 1904. and
the elected scholars will begin residence
in October. A qualifying examination will
be held in each state and territory, or at
centers which can be easily reached. This
examination is not competitive, but is in
tended to give assurance that all candidates
are fully qualified to enter on course OF
study at Oxford University. The Rhodes
scholars will be selected from candidates
who have successfully passed this examina-
ton. One scholar will be chosen for each
state and territory to which scholarships
are assigned.
The committees and the universities max
ing appointments will be furnished with a
statement OF the qualifications which Mr..
Rhodes desired In the holders of his schol-
arships, and they will be asked in exercising
their right of selection to comply as nearly
as circumstances will permit with the spirit

should begin their conference the very day
the Russian ambassador, Count Cassini,

that some developments in the Russian sit

COMBINE FOR GOOD ROADS.
Farmer and Automobilist Working To-
eether for State and National Aid.

A few weeks ago a Maryland farmer
found an automobile anchored in mud
hole on a country road about twenty miles
from the city home of the owner. The auto
mobilist was vigorously swearing at the
mud. the farmers and the rural districts in
general After cooling down somewhat he
struck a bargain with the farmer to extri-
cate his machine and haul 1t to the near
est possible road for $3.50. When the Job
was finished both were in comparatively
good humor. The automobilist lit a fresh
1O-cent cigar and presented the farmer with
one and the following dialogue ensued:
"Why don't you farmers improve these
roads?"
well we do work 'em every year, but
they don't seem to get any better"
But why don't you build first-class
roads, and be done with it?'
Say, mister, you must think we're rich
out here in the back woods. How much
do you reckon it would cost? Not less than
two or three thousand dollars a mile, l
taxed already as much as we can stand II
you city fellows want to go touring over
these roads I guess you'll have to get used
to the mud same we have.
After the two had smoked in silence for
half minute the farmer cleared his throat
and ventured to ask:
Say. why don't you rich city fellows
give us a lift and help us improve these
roads. I've been reading some lately about
state aid and government aid for the farm
ers in building good roads. why don't you
go in for these things? Wouldn't 1t be a
benefit to the whole community? Besides,
haven't we farmers been voting for tariffs
to build up industries in the cities for a
good many years? Isn't 1t about time the
rural districts enjoyed a little of the fos-
tering care of the government
We'll" replied the automobilist. who
happened to be millionaire manufa cturer,
II don't know but you are right. hadn'
thought of it in that light
After some further discussion along this
line the two separated, each with some
new ideas The farmer had grasped the
idea that the automobile which he had
always viewed with mingled feelings of
scorn and amusement might, after all. turn
out to be a great friend of his-might in
fact. be the means of inducing the rich
men Of the cities to help the farmers build
good country roads.
The rich city man, on the other hand had
got a glimpse of the conditions and senti-
ments prevailing in the country. He real
lied as never before that no general i'm
provement of the country roads could be
hoped for SO long as the farmers were left
to work out the problem unaided. In fact,
he saw the injustice Of expecting them to
shoulder the whole burden.
AS result Of this incident both the
farmer and the automobilst are now con-
Quoting a little campaign among their
neighbors in favor of state and national
aid to road building.
