CARTS IN SCOYL~...
They WeEs Cause Of WsA&ec In
the Kishtesath Ce.turv.

They WeEs = CauSs OF ~sA&eS In
the Kishtesath Csaturv.
In Scotland at the beginning Of the
ried in sacks on horseback or on
sledges, or-later in the csntury-on
tumbrels, which were sledses on ''tum-
bling wheels Of solid wood with wood
en- axletrees, all revolving together.
These machines were often 80 small
that In a narrow passage the carter
could lift them bodily, for they hold
little more than a wheslbarrow. They
had wheels q foot and a half In diam
eter, made Of three pieces Of wood
pinned together like butter nrkin
and which quickly wore out and be-
came utterly shapeless, so that load
Of GOO pounds was enormous for the
dwarfish animals to drag. Yet even
such vehicles were triumphs Of civlli-
cation when they came into use when
the century was young.
Carts are n later invention still, and
when one, In 1923, first carried Its tiny
load of Goals from East Kllbride to
Cambuslang, crowds of people," II Is
reported, went to see the wonderful
machine. They looked with surprise
and returned with establishment" In
many parts Of the lowlands they were
not in ordinary use, even till 1760,
while In the northern districts sledgeS
or creels on the backs Of women were
chiefly employed to the end Of the CEN
tury. The wretched condition of the
roads was the chief cause Of tho re-
luctant adoption Of carts.
In the driest weather the roads were
unfit for carriages and In wet weather
almost impossible, even for horses
deep In ruts OF mire, covered with
stones, winding up heights and down
hills to avoid swamps and bogs. It
was this prccarlous state Of the roads
which obliged judges to ride on cir
cult, and practice began as a physic-
al necessity was retained as dignifed
habit, so that In 1744 Lord Dun re-
signed his Judgeship because he was
no longer able to ride on circuit

POLITICAL.

An old Republican from one of the
townships volunteered the.informatioD,
the other day, that he did not intend
voting for certain man for the reason
that he was ''too full of dirt"-and
those four words express the sum and
substance of all the opposition to the
same man today
Promises of support in the future are
the cheapest and thinnest hooks to catch
votes with. Nine out ten men who
promise you their support next year for
yours now intend deceiving you.
Both Republican papers of New
Castle took down the name of j. Lee
Plummer. last week, and published
editorials explaining that there is a limit
to human endurance.
The New Castle Herald Republican
takes down the name of J. Lee Plum
mer. and says
THE name of Plummer should never
have disgraced the ticket as puolisneo
in these columns, had the truth been
known. Today it is dragged dowr
from the masthead and The Herald
will from this time wage consistent
battle against his election.
There is a great struggle in progress
in Pennsylvania this year and the de
cent element is making mighty effort
to escape from the clutches OF machine
which has held the state Offices like 6
wise for years, squeezing out the tax
payers money and using unheard oi
methods to preserve their power in the
big cities. The publisher OF The Herald
feels justified in lending every assist
ance in his power to the ref orm move
ment and will do 80 without fear or ia
vor."

friends at his home on Howard Avenue
in honor of his fourth birthday.
The Irving home was beautifully

like fairy place. The occasion was q
very happy one, and the little tots en-
joyed it 10 the fullest. Mrs. Irving
and the little host received the guests,
and at O'Clock all were invited into
the pretty dining room where elegant
refreshments were served, consisting
of ice cream, cake, fruit and candy.
The young host was presented with
many nice presents, and good wishes

DOUBLE TEAMS

Fine Double Teams Are the Rule

Show and Fair.

Have you noticed that the double
team is coming into vogue in Pales-

the citizens who have recently bought
handsome double teams are Hon. T..
B. Greenwood, DIR. John Colley, Mr..
w. II. Dick, DR.. Dunn, MIR. Leroy
Trice, Mayor Bowers, Mr.. F. HUFF
smith, and others. Besides these Hon.
7. M. Campbell, Mr.. w. M. Broyles
and Alderman John Temple own fine
double teams, and the stock all around
ia of a much better grade than has
heretofore been driven in this city.
In this connection we wonder why a
good fair and stock show wouldn't be
about the proper caper for this fall.
We believe the city and county could
make a great success of such an enter
prise, and attract great deal OF atten-
ton to our section with such show.
