STILL TALK OF CHAFIN HERO

him, with an armed throng at his
heels, clamoring for his life. Stand

rear hurled brick, which struck
the defender of law. But the negro's
life was saved.
"The occurrence marks Mr.. Chain

It Happened In Church.

A Southern clergyman tells the fol-
lowing amusing story:
After the morning sermon one Sun
.dav he had read the notices for the
week, and then announced the closing
hymn-Number so-and-so. At that
moment one Of the deacons came
down the aisle, and the minister
paused to hear what he had to say,
which was that the pastor had for
gotten to give notice Of a meeting of
the ladies of the congregation.
Accordingly the divine gave the no
tiee, apologized to the congregation
for his forgetfrlness, and then again
announced the number of the hymn,
and proceeded to read it. His feel
ings and those Of the congregation
may be imagined when he began:

MOUNTS STAGE, KISSES AC-

Ex-senator WcLaurin's Son, Stud 1T
At Wefford. Accepts Pretty
Chorus Girls Dare.

Spartanburg, November 13.-Lo-
retta Marshall, a pretty young chorus
girl of the Wayne Musical Comedy
company, which closed an engagement
here Wednesday night, was kissed
fair and square on her lips by young
McLaurin, son of the former United
States senator, who is a student at
Wofford- college. The kissing took
place on the stage in full view Of the
audience, and was one Of the hits Of
the show. Miss Marshall came be-
fore the footlightS and rendered d
kissing song. Pointing to Young Nc
Laurin, who occupied an orchestra
seat, she dared him to kiss her. The
student was game, for as quick as Il
flash he jumped on the stage and
gave the pretty little actress several
smacks on her ruby lips.

sold untreated? It seems reasonable
to suppose that the profits derived
from the sale Of treated timber viii
exceed those from untreated timber.
Moreover, the greater use of chemi-
cally preserved wood will undoubted-
~ result in that wood giving a greater
life in service. Hence, the amount OF
timber cut annually in the United
States, simply to replace that which
has decayed, will be materially de-
creased, and a further conservation
Of forest resources will result. Re-
cent estimates BY the Forest Service
place this reduction at 10 per cent Of
the total timber cut. The practical
benefits of these experiments and Of
the Investigations for the utilization
Of sawmill waste are at once appar-
ent.

The Human DraY.

The Constantinople correspondent
Of the Neue Freie Presse of Vienna,
says that among the first CT the
many organizations that marched to
the Yildiz Kiosk to express thanks
for the constitutional decree were the
burden bearers or hamalis. These
powerful athletic Turks, for the most
part beautiful men, despite their dir
ty garb, have a we'll organized So
ciety which lays down the laws by
which they are guided in their voca-
ton. They come from Asiatic Tur-
key, where they leave their wives
while they work industriously and
honestly for a few years, save their
earnings and then return to thel1
homes. The bad pavements and the
narrow, winding streets preclude the
dray in Constantinople, and these
men take the place of the dray horse.
On long poles they may be seen car
rying great bales Of goods, pianos,
safes and all sorts Of heavy proper
ty. They are fanatical in their rell-
gion and thoroughly Turkish, but 1t
seems that they appreciate the ad-
vance toward liberalism, and showed
their ability to live up to European
methods on the day after the demon
stration, when they struck for high
er wages.

TWICE A WEEK. so A YEAR
WAS JESUS A JEW BY RACE?
Strange Theory of an American Pro-
fessor-" Born at Nazareth

London Express.
Was Jesus a Jew by races This
was the remarkable question raised
by Prof. Paul Haupt Of the Johns
Hopkins university, Baltimore, in a
paper read at the international Con-
gress on the History of Religions at
Oxford.
Briefly stated, Prof. Haupt's the
ory is that Jesus was Galilean, that
He was born at Nazareth, and not in
Bethlehem, and that the Galileans
were not Jews by race, but had been
forced to become Jews by religion.
The founders of Christianity
were Galileans,' he said. "Jesus'
first disciples, Peter and his brother,
Andrew as well as the two sons Of
Zebedee, James and John, were Cali
lean fishermen.
"Canon Cheyne has remarked in
his 'Eoneyelopedia Biblical that
prof. Percy Gardiner has we'll said,
"According to all historical proba-
bility, Jesus of Zazareth was born
at Nazareth. -
"The tradition that Jeseus was
descendant Of David and was born at
Bethlehem was not original,' contin-
ued Prof. Haupt. "The census refer
red to in the second chapter of the
third Gospel took place n the year
I A. D., that is at least II years af-
ter the Nativity. There was no i'm
perial assessment till Judea had been
made an imperial province, nor would
the people have been assessed at their
ancestral homes, as is suggested in
the words And all went to be taxed
every one into his own city,
"Moreover, Mary would not have
been required to accompany JOSEPH
Jesus Himself referred to the belief
that the Messiah was to be son Of
David as an opinion Of the Pharisees.

TO Study Timber Conservation.


The future development of the lum-
Der industry in this country lies in
the direction of a closer utilization of
forest products. Both foresters and
practical lumbermen now agree on
this point.
Just what can be done in this
field is we'll illustrated in the opera
tions at the mill Of the great South
enr Lumber company, which has just
reopened it's plant at Bogalusa, Louis
lana, in response to the increased de-
n1and for lumber after the recent
slump in business. This is perhaps
the largest sawmill in the United
States. if not in the world, and is cap
able of turning out the enormous
amount Of 100000 feet Of sawn lum-
ber board measure per day. A read
er can get a fair idea of this quantity
Of lumber when he is told that it's out
put is enough to build a little town Of
40 houses, along with a good7sized
church and a school house every day.
This company was quick to grasp
the significance Of the rapid deple-
tion Of timber resources. Last year
it began a cooperative investigation in
wood utilization with the United
States Forest Service and arrange
ments have just been completed fol
4 renewal Of the experiments. The
work will be along practical lines and
Will be aimed to secure a closer utill-
cation Of the products of the southern
lumber mills and at the same time
produce a margin Of profit in excess
Of that obtained by the methods
which are now practiced.
The field for work along this line is
broad. It is well known that the
superior grades of lumber are obtalrt-
ed from old mature trees, provided
they are not weakened by decay OF
other influences. In other words, a
thousand feet board measure OF lum-
Der, sawed from a tree two feet III
diameter, costs less and Is worth
more than thousand feet sawed from
a tree only eight inches in diameter.
Moreover, timber cut from young
trees usually contains large amount
Of sapwood. If ties, poles, etc., are
cut from such material, they will de-
cav far more rapidly than if cut from
Eecrtwcod. It Is not good business
n,licy, however, in a great many cas-
Is to saw the most valuable timber
into commodities which are relative
" low in cost, such as ties and poles.
It is the intention, therefore of the
company to find ont Just what size
and classes Of timber can be best utl-
lizcd for the cheaper commodities
when given preServative treatment.
To this end a careful study will be
made to ascertain the amount ana
v:luc Of the products sawed frop'
trees of different sizes and just how
each can be best utilized so as to Sc
cnre greatest economy and profit.
For example, can a tree eight inches
in diameter be best utilized for ties
.. for flooring: and how will the pro-
fits compare if treated with those

WONDERFUL MIRAGES.
False Peak of Tenerife and Illusions
in the Dardanelles.

The peak Of Tenerife is known
among deep sea sailors as the "false
peak.' Owing to some peculiarly OF
the atmosphere l. is always seen by
mirage in exactly the opposite direc-
ton from which it lies, and only the
fact that all captains know that the
mirage appears long before the true
peak is visible through the most pow
erful glass prevents many ship from
sailing many miles out of her course.
It is hard for a geenhorn to believe
that the majestic purple mountain
towering astern or on the port beam
apparently only a short distance off
is in reality miles away in exactly the
opposite direction and the seemingly
solid earth at which he is gazing is
only reflection on the clear mirror
Of the air. Many weird tales are told
Of shipwrecked men who have steered
for the false peak in the expectation
Of finding land have perished Of hum
ger and thirst while pursuing the
phantom mountain.
Sometimes the passengers and
crew Of a vessel on the lookout for
the false peak see much rarer and
llore beautiful mirage, that of ship
in the sky: It usually appears about
10 O'Clock in the morning, about ten
degrees above the horizon and under
full sail, every delicate spar and tap
ering mast clearly visible against the
blue ether and even the play Of
light and shadow in the bellying
canvas plainly discernible to the max
ed eye. It generally remains in sight
half an hour or more before grace
fully fading away. The oldest mar
iner can never remember having seen
the mirage Of steamer in that lat1-
tude, but always that Of a full rig
ged ship, and this peculiar fact has
given birth to many romantic le-
gends about the ship in the sky, all
connecting it in some way with the
false peak.
The vicinit Of the Dardanelles is
the real home Of mirages, and it is
seldom that any vessel sails along
the Syrian coast without seeing one
or more. Oddly enough, the mirages
Of the Dardanelles are always the re-
Elections Of objects that can be seen
with the naked eye and are invar-
iably distorted in grotesque and fam
tastic caricatures Of the things de-
Elected. It is certainly startling to
see a steamer bearing down with her
masts where her water line should
be and the water line where the tops
Of the masts and funnel ought to
show, while her decks are in the right
place, thus adding to her uncanny
appearance, but this is a frequent
sight near the Dardaneles. There Is
one peculiar feature Of the mirages
which hover near the false peak
the real objects Of which they are re-
Elections are so far away that very
often they are never sighted until |
long after the reflection has vanish
ed, and some times not at a1l.-New

ment, particularly in official circles
here today. Governor Ansel has beel
severely criticised on many occasions
during his administration, but he IS
commended on all sides on the fact
that there has not been lynching i'll
the State during his administration,
and he is apparently anxious that this
clean record shall not be spotted 50
long as he is in Office, but he preserv-
ed his usual non-committal attitude Of
evading direct answers to questions
when the incident was brought to his
attention today.
He merely smiled when he was told
what the judge was reported as say
ing, and said he had not read this re-
port. When an attempt was made to
draw him out by allusion to the pro-
bable inconsistency Of Spartanburg
people feeling aggrieved over the
presence Of the soldiers, 50 soon af-
ter the violent attempts Of the mob
there to get at the negroes, he smiled
again in the same old way, but re-
Trained from eorament.
Adjt. Gen. Boyd, on the other hand,
did not hesitate to severely c6idemn
the judges action, saying many hard
things about it and deploring it as
being likely to undermine the work
that has been so carefully done in the
past few years toward inspiring the
South Carolina National Guard with
q correct and true idea of discipline
and duty.
Lieut.. Col. Lindsay, Of Yorkville,
Who was in the office at the time, re-
called a Yorkville case of several
years ago, in which, under very sim
liar circumstances to those prevailing
at Spartanburg, failure to send troops
to the trial at Yorkville resulted III
the mob breaking into the jail and
carrying off five negro prisoners
against whom true bills had just been
found by the grand jury, and lynch
inc them on the outskirts Of the town.
These negroes were charged with d
particularly horrible murder of lit
tie white boy. One of the prisoners
hid broken down and confessed, I'M
plieating the others. According t.
his confession the negroes had formed
an association to steal, entering int"
p compact to kill the first person who
caught them at it. This boy surprised
these heroes in field where they
were attempting to steal cotton. One
held his hand. while another held his
feet, a third gagged him and the fourth
jumped up and down on his stomach
until he was dead. Worry, grief and
distress drove the father mad, a
lunacy commission being summoned
to pass upon his case the day OF the
trial. and by the time the negroes
were called for trial, the man VIII"
had confessed pretended to be insane
: ard repudiated his confession.

BATES is ENTHUSIASTIC.
Football Team and Supporters Say
They Will Trim Colby.

Lewiston, Me-, Oct. 14.-(SpeciaD.-T
most enthusiastic mass meeting on record
was held at Bates this noon in Hathorn
Hall chapel. To begin with, the College
Band was on hand and their presence
seemed to inspire the students. Fifteen
pieces of music marched around the
campus and then, carrying the crowd
with them, entered the chapel. President
Wiggin Of the Athletic Association had
charge of the meeting and his opening
speech was greeted with cheers. Cheer
Leaders Smith 'G9 and Harris 'O9 led the
cheering and every speaker was given
cheer coupled with great applause.
Roseland '09 was the first speaker. He
referred to the Bates team as the SNAP
piest, most conscientious and hardest
working squad of players that has ever
represented Bates. He made a fine plea
for college spirit, which was met with
tremendous cheering.
| Hayward '0s spoke in the interest of the
band He asked for contributions for the
purpose of paying the expenses of the
band to Waterville and his demands were
met with liberal donations from faculty
| and students.
Professor HartShOrn gave ringing
speech. He spoke of the fact that other
colleges seemed to think that they had
stars on their respective teams. We do
not have to have stars to make a foot
| ball team" he said 'Why, we have a
star mandatory here and every year we
demonstrate the truth of the nebula ny
pothesis." He went on to say that we
| had good coaches, a captain viii is a
regular tower of strength (applause), and
even if we do have our short Cummings
we can put up with that" Yells and
| applause followed his speech.
Captain Cochran next spoke and his ap-
rearance on the platform was the signal
to bring every man onto his feet He was
| full of enthusiasm and he expressed his
desire that Bates should send such a
contingent up to Colby that they might
make Colby's grandstand float right off
into space with the Colby team hanging
onto it.
Coach Purinton and Manager Boothby
We're the last speakers. In his modest
way the coach thanked the students for
their enthusiasm and assured them that
they had a team this fall which was
bound to bring credit to the institution
Manager Roothby spoke of the special
train which will go to Watervlle Satur-
day. The students will march down to
the station headed by the band. The
names of $50 students were taken and
more are expected to fall in line before
Saturday.

A STATEMENT
From the Striking Papermakers in the
Madison Mills.

Madison, Me. Oct. 14.-Edward st.
James, president of the Papermakers'
Union here today made the following
statement regarding the paper mill
strike:
1--WE struck here because the Great
Northern attempted to force the ma
jority Of the Papermakers' Union into
the sulphite union and because the sui
phite union agreed to furnish men to
fill the strikers places in the mills OF
the International Paper Co. The
trouble with the Great Northern here
will never be settled until the firemen
who are out and who lost their charter
but have since joined the Papermakers
Union are taken back together with
the papermakers. The union has funds
to hold out all winter if necessary.
There are 120 men out here.
