DINE AT MT. OLIVE
MAY FESTIVAL.

Amid the gay festivities that have
been carried on at the Mt. Olive Bap-
fist Church during the week there
was no feature that eclipsed in |
grandeur the dinner served to the |
walters at Mt. Olive on Thursday aft
ernoon. The hour set was o'clock,
but it was well nigh o'clock before
all of the participants put in their APP
pearances. When they had all ar
rived Chairman Young assembled the
men on the front steps of the church,
where a photograph was taken of the
group. The scene was a spectacular
one. A finer group of men was
never beheld Immediately after the
photo was taken they marched into
the festal room and around the long
table that extended the entire length
of the church, laden with every kind
of eatable the appetite could yearn
for. We mention a few to whet your
Appetite young mustard and sliced
ham, roast pork, chicken pie, corn
bread, buttermilk, and many other
good things. For dessert, sweet po-
tato pie and peach pie were served;

OWNER CONTROLS SPEED.
An Ingenious AutomoblIs Device That
Gives Remarkable Service.

An ingenious Automoblls Device That
Gives Remarkable Services.
At last the owner Of car may be
superior to his chauffeur. He may not
be at the steering wheel and yet may
control the speed OF the automobile.
He can sit comfortably in tonneau
or in the rear seat OF a limousine and
yet regulate the running Of the ma
chine. Like the captain of ship. he
may actually govern, and the chauf-
feur viii be nothing more than the
pilot This revolution is brought
about by a contriyance perfected By
Joseph w. Jones of New York city,
says the New York Herald.
BY the use of this device any one In
HE tonneau or on the rear seat Of a
car is enabled to have positive control
of the cars speed He does this
through the simple operation Of an
electrical switch having FIVE or more
points Of contact representing circuits.
II the owner desires his car not to
exceed the ten mile limit he throws
his switch to the ten mile contact
When the speed indicator shows the
ten mile speed the spark Is immedi-
ately cut of, and 1t Is impossible for
the car to reach a higher speed The
effect will be the same when the con-
troIler is set at fifteen, twenty, TWEEN
ty-fve or thirty miles.
Drivers with insane desires to
''scorch" or chit II up" at sixty per"
through crowded thoroughfares will
not necessarily be benefited by the
new invention, but this class Is in the
minority. and the chances are that the
device will win favor with the law
abiding classes. Not only may the
owner regulate the speed while he IL
in the car. but he may set and lock
the controlling device at any speed he
desires when he leaves the car to the
mercy OF the chauffeur. A governor
set at ten miles viii be positive dis
courager Of 10Y riding by chauffeurs.
The automatic speed control govern
or not only viii be invaluable to the
owner, but II is calculated to be Of
benefit TO the driver as well. II the
latter is alone and wishes to relieve
himself Of the anxiety Of watching the
speed indicator constantly for the pur.
pose of keeping within the legal rate
before starting he can set the switch
at fifteen miles or twenty miles and
feel comfortable IN the knowledge thai
there need be no fear OF arrest.

Why Magistrate scott wouldn't Cali
Up His Own Home.

From the Philadelphia Ledger
Magistrate Scott recently had an un-
listed telephone put in his house. but
forgot the number on his way down
town, and then. 10 his chagrin. he dis
covered that the telephone company
keeps faith with its unlisted subscrib-
ers. The company tells the number Of
the unlisted subscribers TO nobody-not
even to themselves.
Say, goo, viii you please give me the
number of Magistrate SCOTS housec"
asked the magistrate, when he wanted
TO tell his wife not 20 wait for him with
supper. as ne was detained on business
NO, sir" was the curt reply
What, can't you give me my num-
Der? I am Magistrate Scott" thun-
dered the amazed member. Of the minor
judiciary. 1T is me. myself; ] want my

But 1 can't tell you" came the reply
again
why can't yOu?'
Because YOU pay to have the num-
Der kept secret, your phone is unlisted.
and nobody has a right to tell you the

Magistrate Scott was angry. but after
he thought the matter over he consid-
cred that, after all the company was
only keeping its contract.
