A Richmond man has in his employ
q colored man of advanced age who by
reason of his thrifty habits had accu-
INFLATED enough money to defray the
cost of his sons tuition at a negro col
lege In Alabama
When the darky's boy returned to
Richmond after the completion of his
course he proceeded. much to his par
ent's disgust, to air his opinions on va
rious subjects in a more-or less diffuse
and fiorid style of speech.
One day the old man took him aside
and addressed him as follows:

|. C. & E. is Having Its Trou-
bIes With Citizens of That
Little City.
TROUBLE OVER FRANCHISE
CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS PLACED
ON THE COMPANY IN RETURN
FOR RIGHT TO CROSS SIDE
WALK IN CITY.

The Indiana, Columbus and
Eastern traction line is up against i,
again. 1t is neither with the citizens
of Centerville nor the people of Rich
mond, but with the little city OF
Knightstown in Henry county, accord
ing to word from that place it locke
that the present squabble would find
settlement in the courts in case Meth
er city or interurban company gives
in, a thing which both say that they
will never do.
The city council of that city refuses
to grant the company franchise to
build up switch across the side
walk into it's new station, until the
company promises to pave the sire ct
in front of the station, and do many
other little things which are needed
about the city. In speaking of the mat
ter the Knightstown Banner says:
superintendent G.. X. Jeffries, of
the I. & r. Company, was present at
the council to represent his company
and made speech in which he de-
clared in unequivocal terms, that the
councils terms in the ordinance pro-
DOSeu tic SWlCCu luIO the new
station building. He declared that they
could not and would never concede
the right of town council to control
the running of their cars, as it would
soon demoralize their schedule. The
only concession they would agree to
make was to pave the passageway ten
feet wide from the curbing to the
track, in front of the station, and they
reserved the right to use cinders or
else they chose for the pur-
pose"
The city attorney has been instruct
ed to prepare the papers necessary
to restrain the company from con-
structing the switch and to file them
If necessary. The company has threat
ened to discontinue the freight SER
vice and the city is also making
threats.

Planting Orchards.

More money may be made from or
chards on thin land when the trees are
set close-twenty to twenty five feet
apart-than when only half that many
are set. The trees shade the ground
better. and heat and drought will not
do as much damage as when the great

Hen Manure Valuable,

Hen manure is easily four times as
valuable for fertilizing purposes as the
average barnyard product; therefore it
will pay you to try saving it this win

II it cannot be obtained in large quaint
ties, every little will help to make the
garden more productive next spring.
If the poultry house floor is earth, re-

ANNAPOLIS STUDENTS

Was Between Jew and Gentle and the
Latter Had His Nose
Broken

ANNAPOLIS, Nd. Sept. 16.-The Naval
Academy authorities are In possession of
information hat a hotly-contested fist
fight between cadets James S. Spore. OF
West Bay City, Mich, and Solomon En-
del, of Lake Charles, La, took place about
a week ago and that Spore had his nose
broken and received other injuries. He has
been in the hospital until today. when he
was restored to duty.
Both are second classmen, so that the
affair had nothing to do with hazing and
class feeling, but apparently originated In
n taunt directed against Endel, who is a
Hebrew. Spore was badly beaten and his
friends were very anxious about him for a
while. As the fight was of a personal ma
ture and not a class matter the authorities
are not likely to deal severely with the
| participants.
