WHY CYPRESS WOOD SINKS.

Southern lumbermen take great de
light in q story Of certain scientific gen

growth and uses Of the bald cypress
at time when cypress lumber was
comparatively new to the market. They
went direct to large camp, presented
credentials to the superintendent and
watched with minute care the processe.

down stream.
Cypress is light, spongy wood thai
grows in swamps and absorbs wate'
readily. The scientific gentlemen re

some logs into the river separate from
the main RATS and followed their pro-
ress down stream In boat. Afte!

prised, the scientific gentlemen return

The phenomenon was repeated; at q
certain distance from the camp all tho
logs sank.
The gentlemen from Washington, be
ing very scientific, did not think It

about the power of cypress to become
waterlogged, but after numerous OBJ

VOTE ON LICENSE
MAY BE ILLEGAL.

Grafton, Mar. 22Now that the
election is over and the city govern
ment again in the hands of the Re-
5publicafis there. will be a general
change all around in the minor Of
ficials and employees Of the CITY, and
there viii doubtless be, quite q NUM-
Der Of applicants for the two or
three good Jobs that are now at the
disposal Of the new council. As
yet no candidates for these places
have been named. The license vote
IS the subject Of all discussion and
there is much anxiety il some quar-
tiers as to the outcome Of the recount
OF the votes cast for and against
license, which has already been ask
ed for by the. temperance people.
1t is the opinion of some Of our lead
ing lawyers that license cannot be
legally granted this year no matter
how the vote stands, as the city
charter states that this question shall
be voted upon each alternate year.
and it is claimed that the vote
against license last spring settled the
matter for two years and that the
license question had no place on the
ticket this year. If,thc recount still
shows a majority for license, L Is
stated that the. State Anti-Saloon
League will then take the matter up
in the courts, where the best legal
opinion here believes, the license peo-
pie are bound to lose out, a silimar
case having been decided recently as
to the city Of Moundsyille.
