plvinIns Rod Fails.

The divining rod expert who was
sent by the German authorities to
their colony in Southwest Africa has
been unsuccessful in his attempts to
find water, This expert made many
discoveries of underground water sup
plies in Germany and the home Gov
ernment accordingly determined to
utilize his services in the colony,
where a chalk formation contaAled a
great deal Of water, and wells would
have been successful IL driven any
where, In other places his predic-
tions that water would be found at
depths of 80 feet to 215 feet proved
entirely unsuccessful as the borIngs
were carried down much below the
predicted depths OF the water bearing
stratum, but We're entirely dry.

A well tod consistent story: a
cast Of unusuzl excellence: including

few of the reasons which account
for the grd2t sudcess which the lat

This startling drauI2IJic novelty
will be the attraction at the Grand

drama, will, undoubtedly, prove
d'rmGlic feast. The story deals
with the early struggles Of a young

ness of selling ready made
editorials, to fit almost any SUBJ
iect, to hardworked editors of
weekly newspapers who are too
busy to take their pen in hand
to write their little human in
terest stories to their constl-
tuents. Some of these squibs are
really quite clever, but the free
use of the service Is apt to
cause embarrassment to the con-
6ding newspaper man who deludes
himself that his polished gem
of thought passes for what the
late lamented Coogler so aptly
described as "purely original"
For example, We have noticed
the same week IN the editorial
columns of two or more Of
our esteemed contemporaries the
identical chunk of wisdom that
emansted from the prolific mind
of Mr. J Knox Hall. For our
part, We would prefer these little
talks with our readers to be
original, If not clever. Then, at
least, they have the merit Of sim
cerity.

fine SCHOOL OPENING.
Record Breaking First Day Enroll
ment-IntereStInq Exercises.

The opening exercises of
Kingstree Graded and High
school were held in the school
auditorium Monday morning
The children assembled N
their rooms promptly at 9
o'clock and Immediately march,
ed to the auditorium, where a
goed1y ty.1 numOsst the s,a, patrons or 5
preceded them.
After prayer by the Rev E E
Erwin, Supt. Colbert spoke
briefly of the outlook for the
ensuing term. He stated that he
had invited several speakers for
the opening exercises, but that
they had all failed to show up;
but he was glad to see so many
pupils, patrons and friends of
the school present. The three
preachers of the town, Revs E E
Erwin, " A FAIRY and W E Hurt
kindly consented to give short
addresses, which were very in
structive and greatly enjoyed
by all present. Prof Speigner,
principal of the high school,
also gave a short talk in be-
half of the new teachers.
After another short talk to
the pupils by Supt Colbert, the
audience was dismissed and the
pupils and teachers went to
their rooms to begin the session
of 1909-1O, which gives promise
of being the most successful
wear in the the history of the
institution.
There were in line on the
opening day 21S pupils, the
largest number that has ever
attended on the first day. There
are So high school students and
166 graded school pupils. This
includes 20 who do not live in
the school district and several
who live out of the county. The
music department has a full en-
rollment of 5Opupils. With this
showing and with the faculty
in charge of the school we be-
speak for the Kingstree Graded
and High school a most sue
cessful term.

WilllamSbufg'S Banks.

The showings made by the five
banks of Williamsburg whose
quarterly statements we publish
this week make mighty inter
esting reading and all are worth
a careful perusal, indicating as
they do in the most tangible
way, the prosperity of our coun-
ty. The combined deposits of
these five banks aggregate over
$3.50, 0,000-nearly half a million
dollars our people have in cash
deposits. When we consider the
fact that less than a dozen years
ago Williamsburg county was
deemed too poor to support even
one bank, the remarkable prog.
ress and development of our
county can be measurably ap.
preciated.
We are glad to see all our
banks in tlourishing condition.
They are public institutions and
their prosperity is a very safe
index of the prosperity of the
people of the respective com,
munities where they are located

SPENT LONG LIFE
ON THE FRONTIER
w. X. sTUBaLEFIELD BLAZED
THE WAY OF SETTLERS IN
MANY STATES.

Almost the entire life of William
X. Stubblefield was spent on the
frontier. Born in Tennessee when
that now old state was West" he
moved successfully to Illinois, Mis-
souii, Texas, Arkansas and came to
oregon in 1884. He built the first
log cabin in the Palo Pinto river
country of Texas 55 years ago, and
built a stockade of posts 81 feet
high around the cabin as protection
against the indians. For four years
their nearest neighbor was 45 miles
distant.
When the Civil war broke out he
tried to get north to join the Union
army but was stopped at Red river
and turned back. He went to Cook
county, where the Union sentiment
was overwhelmingly strong and ma
rowly escaped the massacre OF
Union men in Cook by the seces-
sionists Of the surrounding coun-
ties. After that he and his family
lived nine years on the Texas west
ern frontier, then moved to Eureka
Springs, Ark, and engaged in the
fruit business.
When he came to this county he
settled on the lower Imnaha where
he made a. ranch, planted an Or
chard and sold hay to stockmen. In
1899 he sold out and came to Enter
prise, which was his home until his
death. For number of years he
held the contracts for the mail ste
routes from this city to Chico
and also the one to zumwalt
and until year ago drove the Chico
route himself. He was the oldest
man in the United States driving a
stage regularly, yet in an official let
ter to the Chico postmaster, the
Postmaster General said Mr.. Stubble
field had the best record of all
route contractors in the state of
Oregon.
Uncle Billy was as honest and
upright as he was strong, and his
strength was that of three men. He
was held in the highest esteem BY
all who knew him. He was a, life
long member of the Christian
church.
He was the father of Is sons and
nine daughters, 13 of whom are liv-
ing, as follows: Thomas of Musco-
gee, Okl.; Jasper of Cole county.
