Paris, when it becomes the property
of the city, will shortly be discussed
by the Municipal Council

among the councillors on the subject.
Some think the tower should be kept
for scientific purposes, and suggest
that it should be leased to the COM
pany which has expected it since 1889.
The company would no doubt be
willing for, on the whole, it has made

EAGER for Work to Beuin.

The American people have grown a
bit weary of the Panama canal. They
are tired of hearing of routes and
locks and sea levels and engineers
quarrels and sanitation. They want
the canal, almost to man, but they
want canal, not rhetoric. And for this
reason there is distinct and universal
satisfaction at the announcement. that
President Roosevelt and secretary
Root are to go to Panama Americans
have learned that where Roosevelt
and Taft are there is action also.
They are high priests of the get

THURSDAYS
ELECTION
VOTE LIGHT, BUT OUTLOOK is
THAT NOMINEES ARE SAFE.

Atnoon Thursdayit appeared that the
vote in the county election would not
be as large as anticipated, but that
the nominees were all safe. A num-
Der of precincts were called up, and
report was favorable for the nomi-
Inees from every point except Santa
Fe.
The vote here in Columbia started
slowly, No fight was made for the in
dependents in the First Ward, but
there was some semblaace of con-
test in the Second and Third Wards;
while in the Fourth Ward friends of
the Independents were putting up a
stiff fight. The outlook is that the
Library election will go for the oppo-
sition.

LIGHTNING STRIKES
NEW DEPOT

During the heavy storm Wednes-
day evening, lightning struck one of
the posts of the shed at the new de-
pot and damaged it considerably.
When the Nashville Boosters visited
Columbia, they attached some tele-
graph wires to this post, and when
they departed left the wires. The
bolt of lightning was led to the post
by these wires.
When the bolt struck, stranger
was sitting on stone near the post.
He was so badly frightened that he
jumped up and then sat down sudden
ly, and was so badly shaken up by
his hard seat that he was unable to
continue his journey.
