Never in the history of an athletic
event, either in this country or in
those of the teams competing here,
has anything been witnessed equaliing
the spectacle at the finish of the Mar
athon race. A short time before
Dorando, the leader on entering the
stadium, appeared within sight of the
structure his approach was announced
by the megaphone men to the crowd
Italy, it was announced, had passed
South Africa, and was coming in to
the finish ahead.
For five minutes there was tense
hush within the stadium. II was 526
O'Clock p. m. when Dorando finally
appeared at the entrance. He was a
pitiful wreck, with drawn face and
tottering legs. He was hardly able
to support himself and friends fol-
lowing closely behind stood ready to
prevent his falling. One hundred
and fifty yards from the finish he fell
in heap, but his friends lifted him
up and he started on again, only to
fall once more, few yards beyond.
Brandy and other stimulants were
administered to Dorando. and when
it was seen that he was in such con-
dition that the few remaining yards
were beyond his ability to gain he
was swallowed up in throng of ex-
cited officers and attendants and the
whole group moved over the finish
line with Hayes still running strongly
more than 100 wards away
After Hayes came Hefferon, tired
but in fairly good shape, with For
shaw and then Welton in the order
named. Immediately great uproar
arose, followed by the protest of the
Americans at the manner in which
Dorando finished. There was a hur-
ried conference of the officers, and
then came the announcement that
Hayes was the real victor, with Hef-
feron second and Forshaw third.

SENECA LIBRARY ASSOCIATION.
The Work Needs Boosting, But is
BY No Means Defunct.

Seneca, April Especial: We
have been asked to call the attention
Of the public to the fact that the
Seneca Library Association Is in need
Of your interest. 1t is not In debt
There Is no foundation for the re-
port that it has gone to the WALL"
'is to be closed" ETC., etc. The H.
brary property has increased steadily
since its organization In 1900. Over
six hundred volumes (about 675)
are now on the shelves, approximat-
ing $400 In value. The room furnish
ings are perfectly adequate. There
has been no money to buy books this
year, so we haven't bought books.
This is not the fault of the officers,
nor the book committee, nor of those
holding paid-up subscriptions in the
association; but is caused by lack of
proper interest by those citizens who
have, through carelessness or other
causes, let their subscriptions run
out, and who have failed to assist In
any way entertainments given for the
library's benefit.
What has become OF those who or
ganized the association? Where are
the charter members? You were an
honor to Seneca when you first stood
for this organization, and 1t shall be

that the circulating librafy was the

which prompts this step is in perfect
harmony with the character of the
man, and we heartily endorse the
effort and commend 1t to the prayer
full consideration of our other bust
ness men!
We are informed by q member of
the school building committee that
the plans have been accepted, and
that work will begin in O few weeks.
The plan is to have an entirely new
building, with six recitation rooms,
with auditorium overhead. The old
building will be left intact for the
present, but will be connected with
the new one by tramway, and will be
used in bad weather for play rooms.
The committee, In deciding upon this
plan, will naturally face the criti-
cism OF many OF the patrons of
imposing new structure built with
$4,000. We would say, in behalf
of the committee, that they have
done the best they could under ex--
listing conditions, and while we, with
the committee, would love to see a
grand new school building, we will
accept comfortably the decision of
the committee, with their assurance
that they have done the very best
thing that could be done.
The floral committee of the Civic
Association will meet at the residence
of Mrs. t. e. Stribling Wednesday
afternoon at 4 o'clock to arrange
important details for the work.
We are trembling in the presence
OF that aforesaid summer hat We
would like to describe some Of the

adjectives on the council, and will

the presence Of both. But seriously

SOUTHERNERS PLAN
TO CONE IN FORCE
Thousand Will Attend First
Meeting of Conservation
Commission.

The National Conservation Commits
sion has received word that at least a
thousand Of the leading business men Of
the South will be presen. in Washington
when the commission holds its first full
meeting here early in December. This
information comes in a letter from e.
Grosvenor Dawes. secretary OF the
Montgomery (Ala) Commercial Club,
who tells of a meeting OF the represent
aives Of numerous business associations
in the Southern States, held in Atlanta.
These men formed a working Organiza-
ton, and. after receiving assurances Of
support from commercial bodies all
through the South. issued a call for a
Southern commercial congress.
Deeply Interested.
The time and place were set so that
the members can be in Washington dur
ing the first meeting of the COnserva-
ton Commission, on December 1, the
conference between the commission and
the governors Of the States or their
representatives which follows, on De-
cember s, and the meeting of the ma
tiOnal rivers and harbOrS congress,
which will be held here during that time,
In the proceedings OF which the men
who will compose the Southern CONNER
cial congress are intensely interested
Mr.. Dawes, in his letter, suggests that
the attainment Of a fuller understand
ing between the South and other parts
Of the country would have its effect in
lettering business conditions in the
South also. He writes:
To Combat Prejudice.
The Southen commercial congress Is
also intended as a means of combating
hindering prejudices that exist against
the South In both Northern and Eastern
States. We have felt that such preju-
dices are most easily removed by per
sonaI contast, and we shall, therefore,
work to have present on December and
s 1000 or l.5Oo leading business men Of
the South. who will later stay 70 par
ticipate in the elaboration Of the ma
tiOnal rivers and harbOrS congress, and
also be present in Washington to receive
inspiration from the reports made 10 the
National Conservation Commission.
