 "sUNIx1 DISTRICT.
Region Extraordinarily Fertile, as shown by Luxuriance Of

,ruthersvllle (Mo.) Dispatch.

Charlottesville (Mo.) Dispatch.
 Stretching from the southeastern counties of Missouri to the mouth or the St. Francis River at Helena, Ark., is the St. Francis basin, bounded on the east by the Mississippi River and on the west of Crowley's ridge. rich in soil and awaiting only the coming Of the husbandman to make 1t blossom as the rose.
 The region has been subjected by nature to overflow from the Mississippi and has been made desolate by defec- tive drainage. The first of these evils has been remedied by the construction of the levee system, beginning in Mis- souri and stretching in an unbroken line to within a few miles of the mouth of the St. Francis along the bank of the father of waters. The second problem is now enlisting the energies of the St. Francis River improvement association.
 There is a union of property holders in the basin. organized in May. 1903, to assist the natural drainage of the region by means of artificial ditches and incidentally extend navigation up the St Francis River to the head of "the sunk lands"
 The sunk lands are a strip of irregu- lar shape lying along the St. Francis River and depressed below the level or the surrounding territory by the great earthauake of 1911. It is overflowed during most of the year by the waters of the St. Francis. This strip is one to three or four miles wide and the water stands two to three feet deep over it's surface. There is scarcely a perceptible current. The surface is covered with a growth of shrubs. trees marsh grass and weeds. Water fowl and reptiles are it's inhabitants.
 The association aims to dredge a channel through this sunken region, giving the waters a chance to flow, and to dredge cutoffs across some of the windings of the stream below. so as to decrease the length of the channel and increase the fall to the foot. It is asserted by engineers that by this means the fall in the channel can be increased until 1t will carry or all the rainfall of the basin and redeem from waste thousands of acres that are now submerged during most of the year.
 It Is further asserted by engineers who have studied the problem, that when the channel Is strengthened thero will be ample volume of water in the river to afford navigation to the head of the sunk lands. thus affording water transportation for the timber and agri- cultural products of the section.

FIRE CAPTAIN INJURED.
E. J. Grifith ThrOwn From Hook and
 Ladder Truck,

E. J. Griffith Thrown From Hook and
 Ladder Truck.
 While on the way to a fire at 1925 o'clock yesterday afternoon, Capt. E.. J. Grifith, of the Hook and Ladder Company, seated in the tilIerman's seat at the rear end of the truck, was thrown heavily to the pavement at the corner of Court and Church Streets. where the truck collided with a street car. and sustained painful though not serious wounds about the head and body.
 The car which was standing just at the curve where the track turns from Court Street into Church Street, and raratus had to make a quick, sharp curve. The rear wheels of the truck, which are controlled by the rotary wheel in the hands of the tillerman, became wedged in the car tracks and iil this unnatural position, the next bound of the horses threw the big fire fighting apparatus against the car.
 Captain Grifith was thrown violent ly from his seat and landed on the brick pavement on his shoulders and head. An ugly looking gash on the head was the most serious result of the fall. He received surgical atten- ton and was taken quickly to the Madison Avenue station where he was made as comfortable as possible.
 Last night Captain Griffith was re- ported resting comfortably. He will probably not be disabled more than a week.
 A great many of his friends called at Ire headquarters yesterday after noon to inquire as to the condition of the popular fireman and his comrades

RANDOLPH NOT GUILTY
ALL CASES AGAINST HIM WE'RE
 pIsMIssED.
State Fails to Prove That the Former Probate Judge ef Montgomery
 County Embexsled Public

County Embessled Public Funds.
 Francis c. Randolph. ex-Probate Judge of Montgomery, Is free of all charges against him.
 After passing through decade of sensations, the former Montgomery County official has had all charges against his name in the courts of. two countries removed.
 A jury in the criminal division of the City Court of Montgomery, Judge W. H. Thomas. presiding, yesterday re- turned verdict of not guilty in one of the six cases of embexxiement tor Dent the other i've eases were dis missed.
 When Judge Randolph returned to Montgomery several months ago, after his prolonged absence in South Amer lea, thirteen cases charging that he had defrauded the State of Alabama out of over s20.oo0 during his numer- ous terms as Probate Judge of Mont gomery Count were on the docket of the City Court against him.
 When the cases were first called. one was mol pressed on account of faulty indictment.
 At the beginning of the October term of the court. he was tried and after the jury had been unable to agree for a number of hours. he was acquitted in the case charging him with em- bezzling $9,1o0 on the night of his sud- den departure for Central America.
 Five cases were then on motion of the Solicitor mol pressed.
 Wednesday the remaining cases were called for trial but on account of the absence of J. M. Dawson. Paymaster of the Louisville and Nashville Rail- road Company, a witness In the cases, they were passed until yesterday. Mir. Dawson was in court yesterday.
 Solicitor Dent stated to the court, when the cases were called, that al- though he had proof that a check had been embedded by Judge Randolph in this case, he was unable to prove that the check had been converted Into money. Hence he said the State was at a disadvantage to prove the charge.
 Judge T. M. Chiffon. chief counsel for the defense, said that in that event Judge Randolph should have jury and verdict of not guilty. The Solicitor ccncurred in his opinion.
 The jury was accordingly given the immediately returned a verdict of not guilty.
 Nol presses were immediately ent- cred in the remaining cases.
 Rich Afford. a negro, was acquitted of a charge of burglary.
 There will be no court today.

Miss Ida VI. arbell's
Plans

Ida NJ Tarbell has been spending
the summer in the Catskills in "The
House in the Forest" made famous
by Arthur Henry in the book of that
name Miss Tarbell loves nature and
solitude, and amid them she finds
herself able to do her best work
Here she has completed her His
tory of the Standard Oil Company,
and is laying plans for future work.
Following her historical bent, Miss
Tarbell is deeply interested in the
period of reconstruction in the South,
and also in the personality of General
Robert E. Lee, whom she considers,
in his time, second only to Lincoln in
all that makes for greatness in a man.
Miss Tarbell would also like very
much to rewrite her Life of Lincoln"
in the light of further research. The
historians work is never finished.

Who Was the Inventor Of
Spectac1es?

Though the use of spectacles is
rapidly increasing in the United States
and in fact, in every civilized land, it
is in Germany that they are most
common. That is because the Ger
man type is so much harder to read
than the Roman.
This circumstance is one of the
strongest arguments put forth by the
German advocates of the return to
Roman type in the Empire of the
Kaiser, for originally the letters used
in Germany were exactly the same as
those used by the English, the French,
the Spanish-and in fact all the Euro
pean nations save the Russians, the
Greeks, the Turks and a few small
municipalities in the Southeast.
Nobody knows who invented spec
tacles, or in what age he lived. In
Quo Vadis" the Emperor Nero is
represented as using an emerald cum
ningly cut as we use monocle, and
more sober writings than this story
bear witness to his use of the stone in
that way.
There is a record that Roger Bacon,
the friar who devoted more of his time
to science than to religion, was the
first man to make spectacles in the
year 1880, and it is probable that it
was he who first made practical spec
tacles. Yet on a tomb in Florence,
dated 1920, there is an inscription
which awards the honor to another
in these words:
Here lies Salvino degli Armati, in
ventor of spectacles. May God par
don his sins"
By 1900 spectacles were not at all
uncommon in Holland and Germany,
though the very rich had used them
more than a full century earlier. It
was Ben Franklin who invented the
comfort glasses the lenses OF
which are bisected horizontally, the
/ upper part being cut to make it easy
to view objects at distance while
the lower part is cut to facilitate the
examination of nearby objects.

The First Styles in Furs.

Advanced styles in furs show the
most elaborate combinations seen in
years. Lace, particularly Irish point
and guipure, is. combined with fur in
wraps, boas and stoles The muffs
have great ruffles of lace on either
end
Wraps are trimmed deliberately with
narrow fur bands A favorite COM
binatiop is black velvet with sable fur
and Irish point. For wear with such
wrap there comes an enormous di-
rectoire hat of black velvet, and
around the crown is a four-inch band
of Irish point, edged with narrow
sable bands Sable tails droop from
the back of the hat, and tucked under
the brim in the front, close to the
face, is bunch of American beauty
roses. s4,G
