ARE HURLED
FROM RUNAWAY TEAM

.JULIETTE. Ca, July 4.-As the result
Of a runaway accident, here late Monday
afternoon twelve persons were thrown
out of a wagon to which two mules were
hitched and narrowly escaped with then
lives. Miss Lille Adams and Mr.. A. T.
Redding were dangerously hurt, but suf-
fered no broken bones while the others
escaped with only slight bruises.
The breaking of the breast chain caused
the mules to become frightened and run
away. and as they in their mad pluns-
ing turned a sharp curve going down
steep grade they became separated from
the wagon with the result that the We
hicie was hurled into a deep ditch, and
its occupants scattered around for a dis
tance of many feet
II is considered miraculous that all
were not killed. ..

TO SELECT DATE
FOR BOND ELECTION

MACON, Ca, July 15.-November. Sd has
been named for the next bond election
in Macon but as the date was only ten
tatively selected. there is a probability
that another will be selected. Next week
when council meets the date will be Sc
lected definitely. and date will be set
on which the registration will begin.
Tie rule which says that a bond meas
ure must secure two-thirds of the regis
tered voters in order to carry it has
made IT very hard for bonds to be car
ried in Macon. The adherents of the pO-
litieal parties as a rule are ever ready
to defeat the party that is In ONCE. Had
the Smith, or Moore party been In office
last month when the first bond issue was
defeated, IT is probable that bond is
sue of their own would have lost out.

HAWAII PER CAPITA

Fublicist Will Cooper of the Ha-

dresses the members in part as fol-
lows, the more important points of
his communication being given here
with:
1t is sometimes stimulating to stop
a bit 10 note what "the other fellow"
in your line of business is doing, and
how he is doing it. We are in the
publicity ess-advertising Ha-
waii-and we have good reason to be
proud of what we have accomplished.
But there are others. For instance,
a private citizen in New Bedford,
Mass, the publisher of one ofthe lead
ing papers of that city, has for some
time been paying over $400. 90 per
page in standard magazines, such as
the Cosmopolitan, for the broad pur-
pose of informing the people of the
country that his city is the "best
place on earth" This may be but a
short-winded squirt of an eccentric en-
thusiast, but when we learn that Cal
