COMMERCIAL MOTOR WAGONS.
Their Growing Use For Agricultural
and Other Purposes In EnoIand.

Their Growing Use For Agricultural
and Other Purposes In England.
In many rural districts the agri-
cultural communities are looking to
the motor wagon as a panacea for
their troubles. and there Is no doubt,
where railway facilities are few or
rates high. that the motor wagon
will enable them to get their produce
to market with the least delay and
at a low cost.
One of the many such projects un-
der consideration is that at Essex.
In this case arrangements are being
made to supply London with agri-
cultural produce by means Of an or
ganization which is to collect the va
rious goods at centres situated in
Chelmsford. Braintree, Dunmow, Ep-
ping, ongar, Witham and many other
towns. These collecting centres are
to be furnished with slaughter
houses, chilling rooms, creameries
and grading and selecting depart
ments to deal with the produce
brought to them from the surround
ing country by motor or otherwise.
and thence It will be forwarded to
London by motor wagon. A some
what similar system Of collecting is
meeting with success In Berkshire.
Another promising outlook for the
industry Is the rumor that the coll
liery owners are contemplating
system of direct deliveries OF coal
from pit mouth to consumer by
steam lorry. 1t is remarkable that
such system has not been more In
vogue where coal fields are within
easy reach of Industrial. centres as.
for example, in Lancashire. The
mode of procedure at present is for
the colliery owners TO load trucks on
the railway, have them hauled from
twenty to twenty-five miles by rail,
unloaded to carts and eventually de-
livered to Ghe consumer, sometimes
three or four days being occupied in
this manner, when by employing
steam wagons as many hours would
probably be occupied and the cost
reduced to a minimum.
The present solution Of the traffic
problem in London apd provincial
towns no doubt lies greatly in the
employment Of motor goods vehicles
In conjunction with motor omni-
buses, and 1t has been predicted that
In London in ten years time not a
horse will be employed In traction
work. Whether this is too sanguine
a view or not cannot be determined,
but that the fact that the supply Of
horses will soon cease to be available
owing to the increase OF self-propel-
led vehicles has occurred to the war
office authorities Is evident by their
letter recently addressed to the Mo-
tor Van and Wagon Users associa-
ton desiring to know whether they
would support a scheme for regis
tering heavy motor cars for the SER
vice of the country in time of war In
the same manner in which horses
have hitherto been subsidized

found until the next morning. He was
greatly exhausted from the loss Of
blood. In his pocket was found a list
Of the patriots he had hanged and the
houses he had burned. Notwithstand-
ing his notoriously brutal conduct on
a multitude of occasions, his bleeding
wounds were bound up and at his own
request. the document which contained
an enumeration of his infamous deeds
was destroyed.
About the time that the British after
having been disordered by the fire Of
the Americans. were preparing for a
second charge, an accident took place
which contributed to the advantage OF
the patriots. BY some accident cart
load Of cartridges became ignited. The
burning cartridges kept up a continual
cracking which the British mistook for
platoons Of Americans. They could
hear nothing but continual roar, and
could see nothing but continual blaze.
The cart load of ignited cartridges
frightened some Of the new recruits
among the Americans. These fed to
the river and concealed themselves be-
meath its banks. Making similar
mistake with the British they conclud-
ed the battle was still raging when 1t
was only the exploding Of burning
cartridges.
This little fight threw the British
camp In Winnsboro all In confusion.
CORVALLIS wrote Immediately to Tar
Teton, who was in the low country look
ing after Marion, to return. In his let

WoodbuFy's DRAWING Exhibit.

Miss Edna NJ. Kerr, special iastructress
in drawing in Woodbury. public schools
gave patrons an opportunity Of inspecting
the drawing work Of the year by making an
exhibit in one Of the rooms IN the academy,
last Friday and Saturday evenings. The
exhibit was not show" work, but that
done in the regular course Of school routine;
and comprised specimens from all the
grades from she first to the ninth. Draw
ing has been taught in our schools, by .
special instructress, for seven years The
plan is that advised by Prof. Mason, Sup
erintendentg OF drawing in Philadelphia
schools, and consists in drawing from OBJ
jects rather than the employment of any Of
the numerous systems so universally used
in schools ten years ago.
The object Of this study is not primarily
the discovery and cultivation Of the single
talent, but the experience Of educators is
that it develops the habit or power obsery-
alton, and is an invaluable aid thoroughoub
the school curriculum, The child that OBJ
serves is the one that comprehends.
This exhibit was favorably commented
on and enjoyed by large number Of citi-
zens during both evenings.

inmates,

People who have travelled down the B.
& @. railroad from Harper's Ferry to Win
chester have all patronised an old colored
man who sells chicken sandwiches on the
train. A short time ago two men from the
North patronized the old darkey, and one
liked the sandwiches so well that he
bought the second and third. While
change was being made for the third time
be praised the chicken, and closed BY ask
ing "where he got his chicken Casting
a pittying glance on bis quessioner the old
darkey replied, "Boss, knows uns from

"Cheaper Than a Coffin. :

s'Well it's cheaper than coffin, isn't
it p, was the answer recently made by an
agent Of the antitoxin trust, to physician
who complained Of the exorbitant price of
the only drug that will cure diphtheria.
ssWelI, it's cheaper than coffin, isn't it?''
This new phrase will 60 we'll with George
n. Baer's statement that the charges put
upon coal by the railroad companies were
'sall il could stand;;' and with that other
equally inconsiderate Inference OF John s.
Bell that his company was mot going to
sell ice for So ton when it could get $4 for
IT,, And this is exactly the way corporations
Look upon the public simply as creatures to
be muloted Of all that can be got out Of
them; to be deprived Of 81 instead Of So
whenever they will stand it; to be robbed
of any amount of money that in less than
she cost Of coffin. The Ice Trust may be
brought to book, but the antitoxin trust
has such control Of the Legislature Of this
state that all efforts to pass laws to curb its
exorbitaut greed have failed. The State
has been inyeigIed into buying $1,000
worth Of the stuff that is somewhat cheap
err than coffin, Z and has thus been made
the means of keeping up the trusts extor-
tionate prices. This phrase will come very
handy when an anti-trustsantitoxin act is
pressed next year. Ex.

You were to deed him lot 70 feet

45-foot lot.
informed him that you would do all
the grading, put down cement walk and
curb on this 45-foot lot as well as on the
new street front of Mr.. Person present
property. You would also fix the fence,
He in return was to deed you a strip
|of bis land extending into the present
street some four feet at one end and
seventeen feet at the other. This strip
that be would deed you was to be used
for street purposes.

Milwaukee, Feb. 26.-The passenger
train on the Chicago, Milwaukee and

from Chicago ran into a South Mil
waukee street car at the Kinnickinnic
avenue crossing, injuring fourteen peo-

and delaying railroad traffic for over
an hour. r
! The car is badly wrecked, the trucks
being ripped out of it and all the win
dows smashed, .crossbars loosened and
the street covered with splinters and
broken glass. sa...-
The crossing is one of the most dan
gerous in the city and Bayview people
have fought for years to have the
tracks elevated to prevent accidents.
Engineer Collins of the railroad
train said he was running about six
miles an hour when the accident oc-.
Cured. He said he did not think the
accident would have happened had it
not been for the. dense steam and
smoke that enyeloped the crossing.
