NIL. dQu NILS. LdWoOlI 1IdAludA w.,
of Davidson county, are visiting
friends here. Mr.. Earnhart owns
property here.
Crescent commencement begins
on the evening Of the 10Th at 8
o'clock, and the commencement
proper will be on the 18th, Thurs
day. DR.. B. f.. Dixon will deliver
the annual address at II o'clock
Thursday. There will be an en-
tertainment on Thursday night at
the new hall. The school term
this year was one Of the best in
its history, with 224 students on
the roll, with eleven graduates
this year. Several families have
moved in and near Crescent, where
they can send their children to
school.
W. A. Casper has bought a piece
O. land from Henry Ludwig and
cut it up in lots. He will start'a
little town next to Faith.
W. S. Earnhardt is rebuilding
J. w. Frick's big furniture factory
at Granite Quarry, that was moved
from here.
We visited J. Lawson Kluttz
recently. He is one of the good
North Carolina farmers who has
plenty Of everything around him,
besides the many good things to
eat. We had strawberry pie raised
in their garden this year. There
We saw farm machinery of all
kinds, world without end. Corn
shredders, reapers, moving ma
chimes, pea hullers, corn mill,
steam engine and a portable steam
engine, land rollers, all kinds of
farming and machindry tools,
large barn, young mules, big hogs,
plenty mich COWS, horses, feed
cutting machinery, granite horse
watering troughs, pet rabbits and
many other things too numerous
to mentian, also a cute, sensible
pet crow, knew we we're strang;
ers and was very gentle and yet i
would not let us put our hands Oh
it. When the we'll was dug a rich
tgold mine was struck and the place
may yet be turned into a rich gold
mine. He lives within a few hun
dred yards of the new copper
mine n>w being opened up by Mr.,
Hambley. Mr.. Klattz'a farm is
full of mineral veins, and large
ones too. W. will have more to
say about this mineral section.

Hold Different Opinion.

Near Rockwall is one Of the most
curious formations III Texas. THIS
town and county were named after II

opinion OF scientists to the contrary

toll OF prehistoric race Of people.
, The rock wall, as 1t Is known. ex.
tends along three sides Of the town.
but generally at some distance from
It. although to the south 1t is to be
found within 200 or 800 yards OF the
corporation line. No one seems 10
know just how long 1t is. but traces
Of ii have been discovered across the
river in Dallas county
Biologists say that the wall owes
It's origin to 4 volcanic upheaval. 1t
is composed OF stones which are three
or four inches In width, two or three
inches thick and from six to eighteen
inches in length. They are piled on
top OF one another. Just Ike brick. and
with the same regularity.
All Of II is underground. At some
places II comes to within ten feet OF
the surface OF the earth. In others
one Will have to dig down to twice tina;
depth before It's top is touched. In
the localities where II is nearest the
surface plowshares have turned over
many OF the stones and some OF the
fields are plentifully besprinkled with
them. Wells have been dug down by
The side OF the wall for distance
OF fully nifty feet, hut II extends
down beyond that depth.
The stones are OF ligh, yellow
color Rnd evidently have mica in
them. There are some streaks. too.
which closely resemble white marble
The substance is very hard. and when
exposed to the elements does not de
teriorate. This Is attcsted by pieces
which have been left exposed for more
than a generation.
Another curious thing about n is
that there is no other stone In the
county which is just like II. Rock.
wall county has some fine building
stone, but II is OF an entirely different
kid. II resembles more nearly than
anything else the bricks which are
manufactured from the clay found In
this section.
Many believe that this wall was
built by prehistoric men as a III.
cation for settlement which nee
stood on this very spot. Asked to ex.
plain why 1t is that the wall Is now
underground. they call attention TO
the belief OF geologists that once the
Red river found its way to the sea
down through this valley and that II
was miles in width. This black dirt.
the theorists contend, is a mixture Of
alluvial deposit and clay, and these
deposits, they say. covered up the
wall-Galveston News.

OCCUPIES HIGH POSITION.
Jules Claretie Has Place in French
Literature Which Is Secure,
Though Hard Earned

Jules Claretie occupies in mod
ern French literature a place Sc.

politan Magazine. The author of
some 40 volumes of novels, plays,
causeries and historical works,
he is most proud of his position .
director of the Tbeater Francais,
and with reason, since this insti-
tuition is the Polar star of every
French writer's ambition; to have
ones play produced in the House
of Molierer is to achieve real fame
and the substantial things which
usually follow after. Claretie is
the high priest of this temple of
art; his power is enormous. Sole
" and alone he is the Judge of
what plays shall and what shall
not be produced in the first thea
ter of France.
jules Claretie wrote his first
novel, 'sPeirrille,' when he was %.
1t attracted the favorable atten-
tion of George Sand, which
meant much for the struggling
journalist. Claretie is the born
newspaper man, and he has never
quite forsaken his first vocation.
He was a very able war CORE
spondent, and has fine record as
a soldier. He is no longer young;
he was born in Limoges in 1S40.

Some Of the Vessels Have Not Touched
Port for Several Seasons and
Provisions Are Scarce.

Almost the entire whaling meet
from San Francisco is pinched in
the ice somewhere to the east
ward of Point Barrow, says a
writer in the San Francisco
Chronicle. Word came early III
December in a telegram from
Unalaska, sent by the captain OF
one Of the steamers which had es-
capped the ice-pack and were home
ward bound.
A number of these vessels were
bound out. Some have been away
from port for two seasons, and
must be nearly out of provisions,
but others sailing from San Fran
cisco last spring, provisioned for
two years, will be able to supply
what these lack. In addition to
this, there is government sta
tion at Point Barrow, where a
warehouse is kept well supplied
with provisions for the whalers,
so that the crews are in little dan
ger of suffering from hunger.
ITO the eastward of Point Bar
row, eh?' said Capt. Williams
who chased the bowhead in those
waters 40 years ago. They are
all right; they can either make the
station at Point Barrow or &C
to Herschel island, where some OF
them may be now. They will lie
up in shallow water, with faith
ON or two. under their keels, where
the ice will be comparatively thin,
only five or six feet thick. They
will bank up the snow all about
their vessels as high as the decks.
Each whaler carries enough
lumber to roof in the deck, and
there will be their workshop and
playhouse, and they will be warm
and snug. They can cut holes 10
the ice and catch all the fish they
want. The mountains along thar
northern stretch are filled with
caribou, and they can have all the
hunting they desire. Each
whaler that goes up there takes
dogs and sleds.
"When they make a big killing
the whalers blast out a cellar L.
or Is feet deep, and put their carl
bou, ducks and other game in cold
storage, and when the cook wants
meat he goes down cellar with q
crowbar and prizes off enough foi
the mess.
Every whaler carries good Ii
brary, and 400 healthy men will
find some way to amuse them
selves with good hunting, sled
ding and tools to make almost
everything"
1t will be next August at least
before the imprisoned vessels can
move from their icy prisons.
