heighth of land between Glover and
Greensboro with the outlet running
south into Greensboro, land surrounded
by sandy land. In 1910 party of
some twenty men and boys from
Glover gathered at the north end of
the pond for the purpose of digging a
ditch through the bank of the pond
70 draw water from the pond to help
supplv a gristuilI which was on a
small stream one-half mile above the
present site of Glover Village. A
thin crust of earth was the barrier
that held the pond in place, under
meath this crust was quicksand and as
soon as they dug through the thin
crust and the water started into the
ditch they had dug, it suddenly
dropped out of sight and swept out
the underlying quicksand so quickly
that two or three men, who were in the
ditch came near being swept away by
the outpouring food and he'd to be
rescued by those on the bank, and
all had to scramble up the bank to save
their lives. The pond was emptied in
a short time, but with all the sudden
rush and roar of the escaping water, a
man or foot kept ahead OF it AMI
reached the mill ahead Of the foo
and notified the miller and one Gus
toner in season so they escaped, but
the customers horse that was tied at
the hitching post was swept away.
Nature does her work in nearly a
perfect manner, and If Runaway
Pond had been left a!one and not med
died with by man, it would today be in
the position WIN re nature placed it. |
do not think an Instance Of natural
pond or lake breaking away from it's
bounds and running out, unless lamp
cred with, has ever been Known since
the creation of the earth.

Dear Sir: You understand grinding wheat,

staad grinding white-lead and whEse zIn C =
The two sor 8 Of grinding are not much alike
Very likely oats and wheat behave very
differer thy in the NALL, and you manage them
differently-we know very little aboatA your
work; don't need to ;we'd rather depend On
you.
But we paint your house and mill, and out
buildings; perhaps you'd be glad ta~know
about grinding paint; for some people mix
their paint with; stick in tub.
We use lead and ziae-nothing else. And
our zinc isas tough as your oats. Tub mixers
don't know it; but tub-mixed lead and-zino
is streak of one alongside streak of the
other.
We grind as you grind; and our paint is
lsad and zinc ground together, mix-d init
mately: it is neither lead nor zinc, but lead
ndzinc the lead is lost, and the zinc is lost;
each lost in the other; both lost in the

BROADER TRADING
IN STOCK MARKET
Market Gave Evidence of Sub
StantiaI Strength
LONDON MARKET RECEIVERS
Threatening Political News of the Day
Did Not Seem to Disturb the Feel
ing That the Worst Effects
Had Been Discounted.

New York, July 25.-The number of
shares dealt in at the stock exchange
did not expand greatly over the total of
yesterday. But the market broadened out
in Character and gave evidence Of sub
stantial strength Conditions abroad
seemed to be primarily responsible opin-
ion once more shifted as to the impor-
tance to be attached to the Russian situa-
ton at least in its influence on financial
conditions. Threatening political outlook
reported in the days news did not seem
to disturb the feeling that the worst eff
fects IN money and stock markets had
been met There was a marked cessation
of the pressure Of liquidation from CEN
tiers peculiarly affected by Russia's con-
ditions.
The London market also enjoyed a brisk
recovery incident to the final stages of the
fortnightly stock market settlement there
which seemed to find a considerable short
interest uncovered in Kaffirs which have
been sharply depressed by the period of
selling for Paris account. This selling
was discontinued today and sterling ex-
change moved up at Paris, indicating an
easy money situation. Discounts also
receded at Berlin, but moved up at Lon
don, where the stock market settlement
made an extra demand for money. But
these foreign factors were rather of pas
sive influence in our own market, and
only served to leave unrestrained the eff
feet of more local influence. These in
fluences were mostly confined to the realm
of conjecture and most of them could be
defined by the formula. Important devel-
opnents to be believed to be Forthcoming.
Rumors as to the nature of developments
showed much variety even where they
concerned single stocks. The recent re-
turn or the expected early return of in
fluential capitalists gave vitality to the
runors. The trans-continental railroad
stocks led the movement. and the dealings
in that group far overshadowed in impor-
lance any other dealings in the market.
The plan of financing the Pacific coast
extension of st. Paul has been a subject
of curious speculation for long time
past, and the announcement of the return
from Europe of William Rockefeller was
made TO impart important results for the
road from his contact with European

The market opened steady at a decline
of l point to an advance of point, which
was hardly as good as due on the cables
and shortly afterward sold off to a net
loss of 1 to points under a renewal of
bear pressure and liquidation which was
promoted by the favorable weather shown

stop-loss orders on the long side would
be uncovered under 1918 for October The
break carried October down to 1914, but
instead of the expected stop-ioss selling

Loveman G. Co.'s Market Letter.

There has been a great deal of short
covering today and some new specula-
tive buying, partly the result Of resis-
tence which Liverpool seems disposed TO
oppose to further decline and partly
owing to the fear that the next census
bureau report Will be bullish. Today, July
%, is the date set for the returns to be
mailed to the census department OF agri-
culture and the conditions existing today
will be those reflected in the report re-
ceived by the department. AS showers
have occurred daily at one point or an
other throughout the Atlantic district
up to and including yesterday, farmers
are, as a result. In pessimistic frame
of mind. and their reports to the govern
ment will. therefore, be gloomy. 1t is true
that clear skies have again appeared and
Ii is possible that week of fair weather
may brighten up prospects materially.
but the fact remains that conditions as
they exist on July 25 will be reported as
very unfavorable in the Carolinas and
Georgia, as we'll as points in Alabama.
Liverpool due 2 to up tomorrow.
