TEMPERANCE

There was a hot diskushion on the
temperance question down to Hen
Weatherby's store t'other nlghC'
which got so loud, that Hen, prop Oh
the store. threatened to close up shop
and send everybody home unless they
Gained down and made less noise
He said he didn't propose to have his
business emporium turned into de-
batting society, being as such golngs
on hurt his store trade, which WASH
very brisk anyhow.
Bill Hepburn, our artistlck DlacK-
smith. started the diskushion by say
ing that he was a-gOing to agitate the
question of Iokel opshun in Bingville.
Bill said he believed it would be a tur-
rible good thing for Bingville if one
or two ticker saloons would start up
in our midst. Bill said that if he
could purchase his Ticker in Bingvllle,
where he could go and get a little
nip whenever he felt like it, it would
save him many a weary trip to the
county seat every Saturday to get his
regular weekly gallon of tangle-toot,
after which Bill alters arrives LONE
loaded UP to the sideboOrds.
Bill said he calkilated that if there
was a ticker saloon right under his
nose where he could take it or leave
it alone he would kind O. spread out
his drinks along through the week
instead of becoming overloaded on
Saturday.
Hank Dewberry was also i'll favor
of saloons in Bingville, and so was
Seth Dewberry. his brother and our
heroic town constable. Seth said
that he believed that if we had a sa-
loon or two his constable business in
the arrest line would pick up cOnsid-
cradle, so that his job would be a
lukertive one, but the general senti-
ment of them present was against the
saloon.
Deacon Bradberry spoke strong
against 1.-THE deacon said that II
would be a disgrace to Bingville to
have a saloon in our midst, and be
sides it wasn't necessary because
other folks could do as he done and
keep a barrel of hard cider on tap in
the cellar for use in imergencie.
1t is our editorial opinion that a
person would half to have a awful
pain in the stummicll and be in tur-
rible distress before the deacon would
give him a drink of his hard cider.
The Bugle reserves its opinion on
lokel opshun until later. We can't
tell whether we are in favor of the
lOkel opshun question or against it
until we find out which would be the
most profitable 70, the Bugle.

FLORIDA PEACHES

A Baltimore special says: The first
arrival of Florida peaches is expected
to reach here Tuesday. A number of
shippers on the west coast have writ
ten local houses that they expected
to ship small lots of peaches by the
middle of the week and have asked
for quotations. AS a result most of
them have been informed that from
all indications the market will prob
ably be from 81 to S. a crate, and
that the outlook was for good bust
ness, providing the stock showed up
well, and was not too green. II is
hoped that a fairly heavy shipment
will arrive, for there is every indica-
tion that the market will take care
of them in good shape

WORK MAKES LIFE WORTH Nv

The thing that makes life worth
while is work, work, having some
thing to do, and knowing that IL is
worth doing, putting your heart into
it, so that every night you can look
back over the day glad of what you
have done, and every morning you
can look forward TO the day glad Of
what you are going to do. The Sc

ARE ARCHAIC;
MACADAMS DAYS NUMBERED"
Winthrop E. Scarritt

It lasts indefinitely
Mr. Scarritt was a member of the COM
Rittee that wrote the first automobile
contest rules in America. These were
for the Automobile Club of Americas
endurance run in 1901 that started from
New York with 81 cars for Buffalo. The
contest was called off at Rochester on
account of President McKinleys death
at Buffalo that night. Forty-two cars
got through.
"It was not a question then OF perfect
scores" remarks Mr.. Scarritt with q
smile. ct was a question of getting
through at all. Contrast this with pres
ent day conditions IL you would appre-
ciate the vast gulf bridged between 1901
cars and 1910 cars. All except two Of
the contestants in The Journal-Herald
tour got through with perfect scores, or
more than so per cent OF the starters
And of all that started, only two failed
to come through"
Mr.. Scarritt is widely known as the
author of Three Men in a Motor Car"
written several years ago when automo-
bile touring was in it's infancy. The book,
whose introduction was written by the
Williamson (authors of THE Lightning
Conductor''), dealt with a tour of France
and Switzerland

.EWINDDLER s BONES
EEFT III TRE DESERT

ANDERSON. Ind, Nov. 1s-with the
satisfaction OF xz4sw1uS thAt the bones
of the man that swindled him Of $40 ~
bleaching in the sands of the sozE9SSE
California desert, Newton A. Grablll,
mill owner of Daieville, returned home
today after a 10,OO0-mile chase and found
that his creditors believing him dead,
had petitioned the Delaware county court
to wind up his estate. Grabill is u years
old but he is strong of body and grim OF
will.
One day last June GrabiTl was approach
ed at his mill by man who said he rep
resented a brokerage firm at Chicago.
The stranger had prospectuses Of a gold
mine in Colorado and persuaded Grabill
that 1t would be a profitable investment
for his savings. Grabill handed the sup
posed brokers' agent $500 I'm cash and
made an appointment with him to meet
him in Indianapolis and turn over the re-
nainder of the amount he intended to
invest.
At indianapolis Grabill learned that he
had been tricked. Angry and sore with
chagrin he took up the trail of the swim
dler. First it led to ST. Louis and then
to Denver From that city to New Next
CO and Arizona Grabin followed. The
confidence man knew the victim was on
Lno Track ana ne IleQ without rest, dOuD-
ling through the southwestern states.
At length the swindler crossed the Dor
der into Mexico, with which country he
evidently was familiar Here he had the
better of Grabill, who, an Indiana farmer
and millwright, was confused by the lam
guage and the manner of the people But
If he could not keep close to the game
himself. Grabill had the shrewdness and
the determination to employ an agent
that could, and so he engaged a Mexican
detective.
Grabill and the detective followed the
swindler into the California desert The
Indianan had no hope Of recovering any
of the money that had so easily been
taken from him, but he was dead set OF
making sure that the man that had taken
1t should never enjoy It, The pursuit wore
him out, and he stopped in village, but
the detective pressed yon.
Within a few weeks the detective re-
turned to Grabill and gave him sufficIent
proof that he had caught up with the
swindler at a lonely ranch house, that the
man was at bay and desperate, that they
fought, and that he shot the swindler
dead. His body was buried in the des-
ert
Satisfied that in this final deal he was
getting his moneys worth, Grabill paid
the detective and set out for Indiana.
He had been too busy TO write home.
