Frederick Cook for his final dash t
the north pole and was the last whit
man to see the explorer before h
started on his journey across lies

wager his life that DIR. Cook did reacl

Il am convinced the doctor dit
what he started out to do" sait
Francke. ''I lived with him TO
months When he says thing h,
means it. He never makes a state
ment he cannot prove, and he keeps
his promises"
Francke is a stalwart German anC
was steward on the yacht of John r
Bradley When volunteers were call
ed for to stay with Dr. Cook at Anna.
tonk five men stepped forward but
| Francke was selected because DIR
Cook believed he could well withstand
the hardships of polar winter.
From the first day | met DR.. Cook,
continued Francke, Il was impressed
with his perseverance. He doesn't
know what it means to quit His
mastery of details and his strength
of purpose are wonderful
"Some critics-doubting Thomases
all of them-insinuate that DR.. Cook
would not have known he was at the
north pole when he got there. DR.
Cook is an expert with scientific in
struments. He knew when he got to
the pole, and you can depend upon il
he got there,
'Francke, he said to me as we
parted on the morning of March Z

asking too much to expect you to &C

TO INSPECT THE WORK
ALL OVER THE STATE
Road Building In Georgia
Given Impetus
Commissioners Will Sc
cure Data of Mileage
of New Roads

| Sumter's fine roads are to be in
spected, as under instructions from
the prison commission, the four in
spectors employed as supervisors of
the county road system in the state
are collecting information on road
building since April /, when the new
law went into effect.
These four men, assigned to defin-
ite districts in the state. will secure
| data as to the number of miles of new
road built in each county, the kind
and character of pike, the kind of ma
terial used, and, in fact, everything
bearing on the subject that will be Of
definite value.
There are now 140 convict camps in
the state in 1O7 counties. Thirty-nine
counties, and the majority of those in
the northern half of the state, are not
using convicts on the roads now, but
let their quotas go to other counties
for rental sum.
1t is said several of these counties.
inspired by the widespread good roads
movement, will shortly make applica-
ton for their allotments
This means that practically the en-
tire state will be at work building
tirst-class, durable roads Such con-
certed action is certain to result in
tremendous benefit to the state, it is
believed by members of the prison
commission and by all others.
Some Of the counties have four,
some tsaee and some two convict
cam and these counties of course,
No kling very rapid progress in
hilding.

AEpectors are now at work is in

..Ap~3cognized that conditions Of.
soil, confguration of the country and
road building material varies very
materially in different parts of the
state, H1d these things must be taken
into consideration.
It is said that very little trouble
arises in the various convict camps
scattered over the state, and that the
general health of the men is excellent.
The prison commission has prepared
a map which shows exactly where
each camp is located.

THE court OF APPEALS
HAS GIVEN DECISION
Why Insurance on Property Destroy
ed BY Night Riders Cannot
Be Collected.

The Kentucky Court of Appeals
has handed down an opinion which
means a loss of thousands of dol
lars to tobacco growers and others
whose crops and barns and other
property were destroyed during raids
of night riders in the past two years.
In reversing the Caldwell Circuit
Court in the case of five insurance
companies against the Imperial To-
baccO Company, the court upheld the
vahdy of the "riOt clause" of pol
icies written in Kentucky, and held
that the raids of night riders come
within the meaning the term "riot."
The clause relieving the insurance
companies from liability from loss or
damage bv fire written in all Of the
policies, and upheld by the court
reads:
"This company shall not be liable
for loss caused directly or indirectly
by invasion, instruction, riot, civil
war or commotiOn, or military or
usurped power, or by order of any
civil authority, or by theft, or by ne
glect Of the insured to use all reas-
enable means to save and preserve
the property at and after a fire." etc.

TAFT IS MADE
MASTER MASON
Distinguished Lodgemen Are Present
at Cerem0ny-Pays Tribute
to Father.

Cincinnati, o., Feb. 19.-William H.
Taft, .president-elect of the United
States, is a master Mason. The i'm
pressive ceremony which brought him
that distinction was conducted by
Charles S. Hoskinson, "the most wor-
shipful grand master of the Grand
lodge of the most ancient and honor
able fraternity of Free and Accepted
Masons OF the state of Chic"
The highest Masonic authorities of
II states witnessed Mr.. Taft's admis-
sion into the order, as did body Of
men representing distinguished citi-
zens of cincinnati and the members
of Kilwinning lodge, of which Alfonso
Taft, father of the president-elect, was
a member, and in which Charles P.
Taft was indicted under the auspices
of his father.
Scottish Rite cathedral, an ancient
edifice devoted to the higher degrees
of Masonry, was the scene of the GER
emonies. It's main floor and gallery
were filled when the distinguished
candidate arrived. The procedure
which eliminated in the declaration
that Mr.. Taft was a Mason occupied
35 minutes.
AS Mason, Mr.. Taft's appreciation
was of his fathers character as such,
and of his own regret that the delay
had been so long in his own case.
and rejoicing that his brother,
Charles P. Taft, who was present, had
been made a Mason under the tu-
telage of Alfonso Taft. Mr.. Taft re-
ceived many greetings on a new plane
Of fellowship as he was escorted
from the hall by the committee hav-
ing in charge his initiation, compris-
ing Grand Masters William B. Melish
and Levi G. Goodale and Former Con-
gresham Jacob H. Cromwell, grand
secretary.
Frank H. Hitchcock, at the request
of Mr.. Taft, came here from Chicago,
, and after his conference left for
I, Washington. That the discussion re-
lated to the undecided post of secre-
tary Of the treasury was admitted,
but beyond the statement that no de-
cision was reached, no information
was obtainable. The suggestion that
the place will likely go to Chicago or
farther west was made. Mr.. Taft's
only positive statement was that no
decision had been reached.
