the University law college.
The men who have been associated
with him in offices of the coal COM
pany and the M. & X. regret his de-
paTture greatly and they showed their
esteem in a unique and substantial
way last night. Thirty or more of the
employees of The two companies, with
their wives and other invited guests,
gathered at the New Welland cafe.
The affair was arranged without Mr..
Henson's knowledge and its elaborate
details surprised him greatly. After
p~ertaking of delicious refreshments,
Dean Hogg, who presided as toast
master. arose and in a brief address
stated the purpose of the gathering.
and expressed the esteem of the Of
ficers and employees of the companies
for Mr.. Henson. He introduced Hon.
William e. Glasscock, who was direct
ly responsible for the connection of
Mr.. Henson with the campany. In a
humorous vein Mr.. Glasscock related
the circumstances of his first meeting
with the young man and paid a high
tribute to his character, ability and
Industrious habits. At the conclusion
of his remarks he presented a hand
some watch and fob, as a testimonial
from the Office forces of the two COM
panies. Mr.. Henson verv naturally

LAWYER HELD UP
ON QUEEN STREET

a hoiI-up lasting six hours oc-
CURED on one Of our main thorough
fares Wednesday afternoon. One OF
the big touring autos came to a stand
still and refused to go round Of a
single wheel farther. A lawyer,
prominent In legal circles and an ex-
pert autoist at that, held in his firm
grasp the steering wheel. But skill
in running an auto seemed OF no
avail in this instance. It was as
though the auto had said to him in
the calm dignity of judicial authority,
Thus far and no farther shalt thou
go. So 1t appeared to the gathering
crowd OF the curious who soon
hemmed in on all sides the dead-set
auto. Pity the sorrows Of the expert
chauffeur. What could be more try
ing OF his patience, what more an
noying and vexing than the stubborn
ness of a high-grade high-priced auto.
But in vain did the chauffeur study
the deep things and to solve the deep,
dark mystery of the machines refusal
to bulge an inch further. Many deep
things of the civil code he had solved
in his day, and too, had won out in
his plea, but in this ~uncivil, rude and
stubborn case of a stand-still auto, no
u3ea he might make, no effort he
might put forth. whether by void OF

of 81 to 40.
Several references have been
made IS proposed legislation and
new bills. Several will be intro

remodeling of the executive man

down passenger rates from three
cents per mile to two cents will
also come up and other legisla-

Altogether the session will be
a busy one and the continued
bills will come up first IN order
that new business might have

however, a great difference be-

mind and heart, and is durable,
the other: is Of modern prac

other ulterior motives. The

He sets an example for the man
who breaks the law; that man
orders liquor from the same
place, and then sells it. Tenn
perance is no theory, it is Of di-
vine command. Prohibition is a
theory, originated by man. The
County of Union has, in its judg.
ment, rebuked fanaticism, it will
have it's effect on the future con-
duct Of one-idea men and women.
It teaches that women have a
higher sphere in life than being
led around in public by men who
have no conception of the prac-
tical side of life. 1t is to be sim
cerely hoped in the future when
there is to be an election on the
liquor question the disciples OF
methods employed by Carrie Ma

State, and whenever they are
attempted they should be re-
buked as did the people OF

New Zion Marching Forward.
Editor The Manning Times:

Editor The Manning Times:
We delight to know that we
have reached period in our his
tory when the masses are de-
manding more light, more inter
est in education than they have
ever done. The great army of
mankind seems to be marching
with lockstep over the field of
time to great conflicts, and eter-
nal rewards. An educational
wave is passing over the country
and the good people of New Zion
community are feeling its infu-
ence, and have decided to place
their children upon a higher
plane, and give to them a better
opportunity to obtain the essen
tial requirements for the voca-
tions of life.
They have realized thatin this
progressive era none can afford
to march under the banner Of ig-
norance, and cope successfully
with those who have received
educational training. Viewing
from this standpoint, the school
district has been enlarged and a
comfortable academy built which
will soon be furnished with every
convenience needful to teachers
and pupils.
On the evening of December
24th 1907, the pupils of this
school celebrated the advent OF
Christmas with a literary enter
tainment that was a success, the
exercises consisting of music,
songs, recitations, tableaux and
plays were Of high order, well
received: and much enjoyed by
all present, a small admittance
fee was required which goes to
meet expenses incurred for desks
recently purchased.
The trustees Of this school are
honest, broadminded men who
are doing all they can topromote
the interest of the school and
give it a lift toward the ascen-
dant.
We look forward to the time
when New Zion will be classic
ground, and every citizen in its
atmosphere will be glad to point
the finger of approval and say,
s'this is our school," K.
