NINE TIMBERS.
They Add Eight Cents to the Cost OF
Each Ton of Anthracite.

They Add Eight Cents to the Cost Of
Each Ton of Anthracite.
The cost of every ton of anthracite is
increased s cents by the expense of the
mine timbers. To supply these tim
bers, says the Vegetarian Magazine,
requires each year the product of ap-
pr0ximately 10000 acres of forest.
Timber is used for cross ties for
tram roads in the main haulage ways,
as wooden rollers and as props. A set
of gangway timber consists of two
legs. commonly nine or ten feet long
and about thirteen inches in diameter,
and Il collar six or seven feet long.
These sets are placed on an average at
intervals of FIVE feet. One gangway
frequently contains 1000 sets. and ten
gangways to a colliery is not an un-
usual number.
The average life of the timber is
hardly above two years. Forty-tive pei
cent of the timbers are destroyed by
decay, while breakGge. wear and in
sects destroy the remainder. By peel
ing the timbers and properly seasoning
them and especially by giving then
a treatment in oils or chemical salt:
their length of service is materially in
creased.

The Marble and the Pencil.

The marble trick is as old as the days
of Aristotle Cross the middle and
fore fingers and roll a marble between
them. The marble will feel like two,
because it is being felt in an unaccus-
toned way. If a pencil is drawn be-
tween the crossed fingers the one pen
Gil will feel like parallel bars. The
same illusion may be worked by plac-
ing the pencil between the lips and
then moving the under lip to one side.
causing the pencil to feel like two.
More curious than any of these is the
one where the forehnger is crossed
over the little finger behind the other
two and then applied to the end of the
nose. Not only can you feel two noses,
but one of them seems to be about an
inch longer than the other. This last
sensation is caused by the fact that
we do not ordinarily feel the edge of
any object with these two fingers at
the same time unless the part felt with
the little finger projects beyond the
part felt by the foreAhger.-St. Louis

Our Schools are holding this week
their annual Commencement Exer-
cises and the exercises which are
attending the Glass of 1908 show
that good work has been done under
Supervising Principal Burdette and his
corps of excellent teachers. These
occasions of the year are always
looked forward to, the one time when
pupils, alumni teachers and parents
mingle together in pleasant social
intercourse. Smyrna can we'll bosat
of it's schools. There is none finer in
the state and the graduating class
which will go out this year is no
exception to the many which have
gone forth from our schools. May
they have a happy and useful life
and reflect credit upon their alma

The movement on the part of

establish independent telephone lines
in this vicinity is a good one and
should be successfully carried out,
but we understand THAT a state of

Of the farmers who seemed most
active and nothing definite has been
accomplished. It's the same old
story in all sO-called progressive move

The one and only argument?
advanced by the members of the
Smyrna School Board in answering
the pertinent questions asked by
Tax payer" in last weeks Times,
IS that said taxpayers can find out
anything they want to know if they
will attend the annual meetings
which are held every June. "
Possibly they could, but if we are
correctly informed, and it is not
denied, the statement was never read
out at the recent meeting nothing
but the balance in the treasury re-
ported. That our meetings are not
better attended is deprecated, but it
ought not to be necessary for our
business men, or taxpayers, to attend
the meeting to learn how taxes
collected for our schools are being
expended. The statement should be
published yearly that the public can
know without being put to the
embarrassment of asking. A
number of our taxpayers live out of
town, an those ir town, cannot
always find it convenient to attend
the meeting, especially on Saturday
afternoons, one of the busiest times
OfIthe week. We have contended
for sometime that a full detailed
statement shOld be published in the
local papers and for our contention
we have been accused of wanting
the statement for the benefit we
would derive from the advertising
space. We disclaim any mercenary
motive in this public question and
TO prove our position, we have made
an offer to Secretary and Treasurer
T. Marriott Fowler of the Smyrna
School Board, to publish an official
statement in full, free of charge,
II said School Board will submit
such a statement. We agree
to do it this year for the benefit
of our readers who are anxious
, to know how our schools are being
conducted. We have no persona
feelings in the question whatever.
The members of the School Boarc
are all honorable men and we believ,
are trying to do their duty as the!
see best. We simply contend tina
the public is entitled to a full ant
complete statement of account
officially published We are glad t
see the awakening of interest in ou
worthy public institution and will
willingly give space to a discussio
of if or TO the official statement.

Vice Presidency on the first ballot

By an overwhelming majority that
sunk the pretensions of all other
aspirants into insignifcance William
Howard Taft, of Ohio, Secretary of

the Republican National Convention
in Chicago. The vote was great
tribute to a great man, who has
proved his greatness on very many
occasions in dealing with National
and international questions. Mr..
Taft was the choice of President
Roosevelt and he is his representa-

well-known policies of the present
incumbent after Inauguration. The
nominee will stand on a platform
in every way admirable and even the
much-discussed anti-injunction plank
will find favor with both EMPLOYERS

lovely young girls coming across the campus, garlanded with a heavy wreath or daisy chain, escorting Miss Tutwiler. who was accompanied by Dr. Clark, the Presbyterian minister of the place. Under the shade of the beautiful trees took place one of the most interesting features of the clasi exercises. The class wished to give demonstration of their regard for their beloved and honored president by dedicatng and naming one of the beau tiful oaks on the campus in her honor After appropriate dedicatory speeches, toasts, responses, etc, they affixed to the noble oak a bronze tablet bearing the following inscription, Julia Strudwirk Tutwiler, Graduating Class of 190S. They then entwned about the tree the daisy chains, all the while singing Alabama, the beautiful song composed by Miss Tut wiler. Miss Tutwiler in a few appropriate words thanked the young ladies for this expression of their esteem, and class day of 1908 passed into history.
 The graduating exercise proper took place Wednesday evening. with an ad- dress to the class ant. the comforting of diplomas. As stated above the event of the entire week was the presence ';f the governor and his addrss to the class.

 This has been the most prosperous year in the history of the college. The enrolment has been over 275. At the an nual meeting of the board of trustees the town of Livingston most generously deeded to the state the handsome new school building recently erected. In view of the pressing need of more dormitory accommodations, the trustees will erect at once another building to be ready for the fall term. At the meeting c. w. Brock who has filled most ably the posi- ton of secretary of the faculty for the past year, was made chairman of the faculty. and will have coordinate dis. ciplinary powers with the president, Miss Julia S.

 Tuesday night was given the annual concert under the able management or Prof. Michaele Dotti, of the music de- partment.
 Tuesday afternoon the art class held A reception for their friends. The pro- auctions of several pupils received fla yorable comment, particularly those or the graduates in art. The modelling by Miss Lula Anderson, was possibly the most remarkable work shown, as she studied but four weeks, yet her head of Homer, and other studies, showed her to be an artist to the manner born The entire display, including work in oil' crayon, pastel, tapestry. china, modei- ing, and free hand drawing, was con- yincing evidence that this department is assuming an important place In the school.
 The last day of commencement, We'd nesday, is given up entirely to the seniors. In the morning they held their usual class day exercise. These exer- cises are always one of the most en- Joyable, and is looked forward to with pleasure from year to year by patrons and friends of the school.
