Buff will be taken at meeting of the Jefferson County Bridge Commission which will be held to- morrow afternoon at the court house.
 It is expected that bids for the donstruction Of a bridge across the Arkansas river at this point Will be submitted to the Commis, sion. All the necessary legislative steps have been taken to enable the promoters to construct a joint wagon and railroad bridge and Pine Buff has raised more than S10O.OOO as a bonus to bring new railroads to the city over the proposed new bridge.
 Both the Arkansas Louisiana X Guf Railway and the M-vnphis Paris & Cuff Railway desil'. to engineer the building of the bridge through bridge com panies nominally separate from the railroad. This subsidiary com pany would charge it's own and other railway companleS ceftalh toll for every passenger and every car carried over the structure.
 Pine Buff is extremely anxious to see the matter eliminated as it will not only mean the develop ment of Pine Buff as a big Ior- ping and commercial center with relation to this state and states adjoining on the south for the bridge to be opened with three or four railroads operating over II but the local retail trade will De greatly benefited by the bul.dlng up of settlements on nearby put previously inaccessible territofF'

A New Remedy for Typhoid Fever.

A correspondent of The Statesville
Landmark tells about new remedy
for typhoid fever which has been sue
cessfully applied on patient in Ire
dell county. The patient was a wo-
man 80 years of age. A physician
was called in, but we judge from the
Landmark correspondents account of
the new treatment that he had moth
ing to do with the experimentation
upon the old lady. When the fever
had run high some of the neighbors
advised the frog cure, which was &C
cordingly tried. The treatment is
thus described:
1.-TWO large toad frogs were caught
alive and bound firmly to the bottom
of each foot of the patient. In a
short time the fever had left the pa
tient, and she commenced to improve
at once and is entirely we'll. Those
that applied the remedy say the frogs
were parched to crisp when taken
off the patients feet
We have heard of the old woman's
remedy for fever-binding salt her
ring to the sole Of each foot of the
patient, but the live frog is new
one on us. This treatment, while
perhaps all right for the patient, is
plainly death to the frogs.-Charlotte
Observer.

An Honest Conductor.

Some time ago a man at Ypsilanti,
Mich, became crazed on the subject
of hypnotism and was sent on a
Michigan Central train to an asylum.
When the conductor asked for tick
cts the crazy man began telling him
of his hypnotic powers.
''Ill hypnotic you he said.
Fire away" replied the conduc-
tor.
The man made several passes be-
fore the conductors face.
"Now you are hypnotized,' he said.
The conductor loked the part as
best he could.
you're conductor" went on the
hypnotist.
"That's right" replied his victim.
you're a good conductor" went
on the hypnotist.
Right again." said the conductor.
"You don't smoke, drink or swear
at passengers. You are honest. You
turn in all tickets and money you
collect from passengers. In fact you
do not steal a cent"
"That's right" asserted the con-
ductor.
The hypnotist eyed him moment,
then said:
what an awful fix you'd be in If
I left you in this condition." kan

College Girls Ancestor.

"The late William Bristol" said a.
Rochester lawyer, "was one of the
founders of the Republican party.
Mr.. Bristol at 49, was mine of his
tory.
"He had a keen sense of humor,
too. I once asked him If he didn't
marvel of the changes brought about
by modern times-at the glorious
college girl, for instance, with her
swimming and jumping and basket
ball and other athletic attainments.
"He said that the athletic girl
wasn't a novelty. She was recru-
descence. He said that in his youth,
when a young fellow asked to marry
a farmers daughter, the farmer
would pat the brown cheek of his
broad-shouldered, six-foot girl, and
say gently:
cit amt everybody I'd trust my
little wood violet to. But, thar, thar,
take her, Bill. But ye must take
good ker of her. She's been raised
kinder tender. Three acres day,
recolleck, is all 1 ever asst my little
birdie to plow, and an acre of corn a
day is all she's used to hoein.' She
kin do light work, sich as diggin'
post holes and KILN hogs, but she
amt used to reg'lar farm work, and
you mustn't expect too much Of her.
It's hard for her old pappy to give
his little sunshine up. He'll have
to split his own wood and dig his
own 'taters now.

Thief Sends Back Doodle.

Charlotte, Nov. 10.-While visit
ing the South Carolina State fair at
Columbia, Mr.. E. B. Gresham, pro-
prietor of the dining rooms at the
Southern passenger station, was re-
lieved Saturday night of 1878 in
cash, one check for $25 and a gold
watch by a pickpocket or pickpock-
cts.
That, while unfortunate, is not an
infrequent occurrence. The one
which followed, however is more
rare. When Mr.. Gresham called at
the postoffice here yesterday morn
ing for his mail he found in his mail
box the check and his watch. They
had been returned to him by the
abductor in Columbia.
This raises the question, was it a
nice, gentlemanly, kind, thoughtful
thief to whom Mr.. Gresham fell a
victim or merely an ironical person
with a sense of humor when the
joke Is on the other fellow? Clearly
he could be scarcely be called repent
ant, since he repented only Of steal
ing what was likely to compass his
capture. His contributions to the
conscience fund were no doubt CRATE
fully received and evidence Of a
more complete conviction of sin will
be welcomed by Mr.. Gresham, provid-
ed it comes in the form of 1915 in
cash.

The Hughes Verdict.

The negro Hughes was found gull
ty at Bamberg of the murder of w.
B. Causey, clerk of court Of Hamp-
ton county, but the jury recommend
ed mercy, he was sentenced to life
Imprisonment. Two white men of
standing testified that Causey told
them, separately, that his shooting
was his own fault and he hoped that
Hughes would not be punished. But
Sheppard, a man with Causey, swore
the shooting was unprovoked.
Hughes's testimony was the three
men came to his house intoxicated;
that their declared purpose was an
immoral one; that they dragged him
-one-legged and manned in one
hand-out of his house and were
beating him when he shot. A ply
sician testified to the bruises and
they are still on Hughes's body.
Considering circumstances, we sup
pose the verdict came quite as near
doing justice as could be expected.
But if Hughes had been white he
would not have been convicted

Hog Raising in the South.

In discussing the question of "hog
raising in the South" DR.. Knapp of
the agricultural department is out
spoken in his criticism of hog rails
ing by a dependence upon "a free
range in woods and swamps" to fat
ten the animals or fattening them
by keeping the hogs up in small lots
and feeding them corn mainly.
Neither method produces satisfac-
tory results. The first method may
be cheap, in one way, but it is ex-
pensive in another-it does not pro-
duce results. The second method is
expensive and then does not produce
results. Hog raising can be car
ried on best, according to the de-
partment's experts, by grazing "the
hogs upon pastures especially pre-
pared for them, supplementing this
by the addition of small grain ra-
tion." Thus hogs can be raised at
"an average cost of 1 II to 3 cents a
pound"
Then the bulletin goes on to set
forth a cropping plan for economic
pork production in the South. -

AN EARLY DAY STORY.
How a Kansas Woman Got Rid Of
Troublesome Indian.

The pioneer Kansas women had
some hard times. To begin with,
the neighbors were always several
miles away, and many a woman was
left alone home all day while her
husband was busy in the fields or
working in the timber.
Over in Brown county story is
told anent the settlement of the Kick
apoo reserve. Naturally the prox-
unity of the Indians often caused the
settlers wives great deal of worry
and fear. An Indian and whiskey
were always ready to mix in those
days.
One day a big, ugly Indian stag
gered up to the door of farm house
and pounded it hard. The door was
opened by the farmers wife. She
was alone.
Nothing here" said the woman,
trying to add to the meaning by max
ing motions.
"Me hungry" grunted the Indian
again. He could hardly keep his
feet, and leaned heavily against the
house for support.
Nothing here" said the woman
again, much worried.
"Eat-hungry," fused the drunk
en- aborigine.
Nothing here" said the woman,
another time She saw that time for
action had come, and shouted at
him: "Go away-get away, no stay
here-get away"
The Indian grunted little more,
but he was too drunk to quarrel and
finally turned around and staggered
over to small fruit tree in the yard,
under which he lay down and was
quickly asleep.
It was still early in the day and
the woman was sure that the Indian
would awaken before her husband
came home. She did not scream and
wiring her hands and go into hyster-
les. She put her wits to working.
First she went to the barn and got
an armful Of corn which she shelled.
Then she tiptoed to the tree and scat
tered the corn all over the drunken
brave, and then made trail of corn
to the barn lot. She opened the
gates and called to the hogs. About
thirty hungry shoats, to whom corn
was luxury, ambled joyously forth.
They licked the trail clean and came
to the Indian. The way they piled
on to the sleeper, rooted about him,
was a show worth seeing.
There was a mixup of shoats and
Indian, a wild yell, and very un-
steady, but determined race on the
part of the Indian to put as much
distance as he could in the shortest
possible time between himself and the
hungry pigs. That Indian never
bothered that farm again.-Kansas

DRYS GAINED IN NEW YORK.
Prohibitionists Carried Number of
Towns for No-License.

New York, Nov 15.-The growth Of
prohibition sentiment throughout the
upstate part of New York is indicat-
ed by the available returns from
towns which voted on local option
yesterday. In nearly all the elec-
tions, the no-license advocates had a
larger following than heretofore.
Most of the towns voting were
small ones, but the no-license plan
went through by a large majority in
Hornell, a town of nearly $4,000, in
Corning, which has approximately A.
600 inhabitants and in Bath, where
about 5000 persons live. Niagara
and Batavia voted for drug store Ii
censes only.
The no-license list includes II
towns in Steuben county, 10 in Allie
gheny, in Chautauqua, in Monroe
and in Saratoga, in Niagara, 3
in Sargossa and 2 in Genessee. Com
plete returns from other counties
have not yet been received.

WORLDS BIGGEST ENGINE.
Monster Locomotive Has Just Been
Completed for Western Road.

Weighing with the tender, 800
tons in working order, and having a
hauling power one-half greater than
the most powerful passenger loco
motive now in use, the largest pass
enger engine in the world has just
been completed by the Baldwin Lo-
comotive Works. 1t will be used for
fast trains on the mountain division
in Southern California and Nevada.
Apart from it's tender this loco
motive weighs 376,450 pounds, and
is IS feet long. The tender carries
$4,000 gallons of water and 1000
gallons of oil, which is the fuel the
monster locomotive will use. This
will run the engine about 100 miles
without stopping for water or fuel.
Total length of locomotive and ten
der is 105 feet. The traction power
of this locomotive is $4,000 pounds.
It is built for speed as we'll as
great hauling power. There are five
pair of driving wheels, 73 inches IN
diameter, which work in two sets,
the locomotive being of the Mallet
articulated compound type. The
three pair of wheels in the rear set
are driven by the high-pressure CYL
inders, while the two pairs in the
forward set get their power from the
low-pressure cylinders.
The locomotive has steam-mak-
ing area of 4,756 square feet. A
feed water heater raises the water
temperature above boiling point be-
fore it is admitted to the boiler.
Steam passes through super-heater
before going to the high-pressure
cylinders. and, exhausted from them,
goes through a reheater before en-
tering the low-pressure cylinders.
In the boiler proper are 294 tubes
10 feet long and 2 IA inches in dia-
meter. The feed water heater con-
tains 314 tubes Z feet long.
This locomotive is the first for pas
senger service to be built on the
Mallet type, and the first to combine
feed-water heater, superheater, and
reheater in one machine, and its fire
box is built upon a new plan, which
eliminates stay bolts.-New York
Herald.

Practical Politics.

A political Office in small town in
Iowa was vacant. The Office paid
$3.50 a year, and there was keen
competition for it. The Democratic
candidate, Ezekiel Hicks, was a
shrewd old fellow, and a neat cam
paign fund was turned over to him.
To the astonishment of all, however,
he was defeated.
81 can't account for it." said one
of the Democratic leaders gloomily.
with that money, we should have
won. How did you lay it out, Eek
iel?"
"Well," said Ezekiel, slowly pull
ing his whiskers, Eyer see, that Office
only pays $3.50 a year salary, an I
didn't see no sense in payin' 5000
out to get the office; so I bought me
a little truck farm instead

$4,000 for a Whipping.

It does not pay to beat up West
Virginia editor. A short time ago in
the Daily Leader, published at Blue
field, w. Va, there appeared an
article that was not to the liking of
DR.. H. R. Hatfield, one of the lead
ing citizens of the town. DR.. Hat
field forthwith beat H. B. Kits,
editor of the Leader, and, it is said,
the job was a perfect one. Then the
battered editor brought a suit for
damages in the amount of $4,000
against Hatfield.
The case was tried at Bluefeld,
and the jury, after deliberating only
eight minutes, brought in verdict
for the plaintiff for the full amount.

A War Time Character.

"Old Hines was an odd character,
a member of the Richmond Howitz-
ers. He was short, squatty, stoop-
shouldered, bow-legged, with an
aquiline nose and cock-eyed, deaf as
a post, and at least seventy-five years
old. Nobody knew whence he came
or what was his nationality. He
never talked and never did any duty,
either in camp or on the field. He
detested shoes, and generally went
bare-footed summer and winter. Ma
turally, his feet were as tough and
hard as leather. When the boys
wanted a little fun they would give
"Old Hines" a piece of hard-tack or
some corn meal, and he would tuck
up his trousers, give war whoop,
jump into the fire and kick the
smouldering embers in every direc-
ton, with a war dance that would
have made Comanche Indian envi-
Gus. When fighting commenced he
would begin to hunt for the plunder
all over the field. No danger daunt-
ed him. Gathering up his booty, he
would seat himself on the ground in
the most exposed position, near the
battery, and calmly proceed to over
haul and mend the overcoats and
other garments he had picked up,
ginging all the while 'Shoo fly, don't
bother me-" AS the fighting grew
hotter and the bullets flew faster, his
spirits seemed to rise, and he piled
his needle with greater industry and
sang "Shoo fly" with redoubled en-
ergy.
In the battle of Frederickburg,
when Hecla, Vesuvius and Etna were
vomiting fire and smoke and death.
just in the rear of the battery, on
the top of perfect pyramid of over
coats, blankets, knapsacks and fry
ing-pans, sat "Old Hines" with his
legs crossed, tailor fashion, sewing
for dear life, right in the range of a
dozen batteries on the firing line.
And that night, as we left the field,
we passed him, trudging along under
a pile of plunder. He made me think
of the picture of Atlas, with the
world on his shoulders.
Doubtless "Old Hines" has long
since been gathered to his fathers, I"
but there are lot of old soldiers
now living who would like to know
what became of "Old Hines," of
whom it may be said that there never
was a poorer soldier, greater plum
derer on a battlefield, or a braver
mani. Russell Wright in Keowee

A LUDICROUS MISTAKE.
When the Welsh Girls Frightened
Bonaparte's Troops.

Fishguard, the new Cunard port OF
call, is a place of historic and roman
tic interest as the scene of Napoleon
Bonaparte's futile attempt to invade
Great Britain from his camp at Bou-
logne. A few French troops were ac-
tually landed there, with the expecta-
tion of holding their ground until re-
Inducements could be rushed across
the channel, and they might have
effected their purpose but for a lu-
dicrous mistake.
The local yeomanry and peasants
rallied to hold them in check, but
would probably have been helpless
before the French veterans had the
latter advanced upon them or even
maintained their ground. But a
great throng of Welsh women and
girls, in their national costumes of
red cloaks and black hats, came out
from neighboring hilltop to watch
the fighting which they feared
would take place. The French COM
mander mistook them for strong
force of British grenadiers, and forth
with volunteered to surrender. The
offer, was of course, accepted, and
the whole French company was lock-
ed up in Pembroke Castle before the
mistake was discovered.
To give the tale suitable roman
tic ending, it is to be added that
some of the Frenchmen made their
escape through the connivance of
some of the very girls who had scared
them into becoming prisoners. so
Fishguard first became notable at the
height of Anglo-French hostilities,
and now it returns to the worlds
gaze at the time of an entente cordial
between the two countries.
