PLEYED GHOsT-MEETs DEATH.
Woman Tried to Brighten Man, Who
Threw Stone and Killed Her.

Miss Bridget Nolan, an elderly
woman who lived in North Scranton,
Pa, was slain with a cobblestone
early last Wednesday by John f.
Dean. a neighbor. Dean is under
arrest and admits the killing. He
declares the woman met death while
playing ghost.
Dean said that on account of the
warm weather Monday night, he did
not feel like going to bed, SO he sat
outside his small store. A woman
dressed in white came up, jabbed him
in the stomach with a broomstick and
struck him across the arm. He
picked up stone and hit her. She
fell, and Dean gave himself up " d
policeman.
Miss Nolan owned the building oc-
cupied by Dean. She was clothed
only in nightgown, and in this garb
had frightened Dean.

(News and Courier.)
Washington, Aug. l4.--All over
the country, from one end to the
other, there is becoming a more fixed
sentiment from day to day, according
to what well-posted men say, for a
higher degree Of accountability from
the members Of Congress to >their
| constituents. In recent years the
practice has become more prevalent
for members Of the Senate and the
House to quit official duties on al
most any possible pretext and to Ell
ther go home, take a spin around the
country on the lecture platform OF
otherwise engage themselves in
some calling for which they were no
appointed by the people.
1t is said, too, that II the present
practice Of leaving Congress when
important matters are being discuss.
ed is continued 1T will, in time, be-
come necessary for some kind of ac-
count to be kept and to fine the
members of Congress for each days
absence without excuse, however,
humiliating such a course might be
to the lawmakers.
Among the members of the upper
House it has become a regular thing
recently for Senators to have lecture
engagements all through the session,
and for them to remain in Washing
ton just long enough for their abb
sence not to become noticeable.
Among the members of the Senate
who are the best-known lecturers are
L3fGHSttG, Deveridge, Dolliver, Will
liam Alden Smith, Tillman, Of South
Carolina, and Taylor, of Tennessee.
In the House Richmond Pearson
Hobson and Champ Clark and Speak
er Cannon are the drawing cards, but
it must be said to the credit of Mr..
Clark that he scarcely ever quits his
official duties to go on the platform.
There are perhaps a dozen others in
the House who are equally as popu-
lar as Clark and Hobson. Until the
retirement of Adam Bede, of Miune-
sofa. last year, he, too, was a big
| attraction, as was the case with
Charles Lands, of Indiana; Bourka
| Cochran and others.
When the tariff bill was under
| discussion Senator Tillman quit
| Washington, and up to a few days
ago was said to be coming money at
the rate Of $500 a night in the West.
Senator Taylor, of Tennessee,
"Fiddling Bob" is another, Senate
rial absentee. Long before the tariff
| bill was passed the Southerner left
Washington to go a-fiddling among
| the Tennessee "Hillbillies" 1t is
said, too, that he will make enough
during the remainder Of the summer
| to pay his expenses in Washington
all during the next session ana that
what he receives as his salary as
Senator will come in handy as loose
change.
The practice of running away from
Washington on every known pretext
is one that will probably make the
lawmakers sit up and think in the
near future. The people all over the
country are demanding a more rigid
| report from their representatives,
and there is every reason to believe
| that the man who plays the gutter
| hereafter must answer to his people.

THAT AUTOMOBILE ROUTE.
Gainesville and Seneca Routes Lose
i'm Favor of RoystOn and Anderson.
ATLANTA journal. 15th.)

Through Winston Salem and
Greensboro, n. c., and through An
derson, S. c.. and Royston, Ga, the
reliability tourists will ride this fall
over the Atlanta Journal-New York
Herald national highway,
This Is the decision. Gainesville,
Ga, and Seneca, s. c., and the in
tervening towns between there and
Greenville, will not be on the map
OF the 1909 run. Winston-Salem
and Greensboro will both be on it.
And so for one year, till August
1, 1910, the official highway will
stand. In August, 1910, If any bet
ter and shorter roads can be shown
between the points that have been
involved by the competitions now
decided, those roads will very prob
ably be accepted and the route of
the highway changed.
In other words, though the figura-
tive rails are laid for the big run
that starts from New York in Octo-
Der, they may be taken up and
moved year from now, just as is
done when a new and better survey
is found for an established railroad.
The two things that a railroad is al
ways looking for are shortening
VI DelWepn DlS DOl1lS ana
smoother running. Those are what
the highway is looking forward to.
Its aspiration is to become straight
away boulevard from New York to
Atlanta.
AS it now stands. 60 will * stand
generally when generations yet un-
born travel it in cars yet undreamed
of. 1t will follow the main direction
of its present survey along the mid
die route that has become the Off
cial route. Only in minol points will
1T ever be changed. It's sign-boards
will be moved only when an unim-
proved section can be superseded
wisely by an improved section.
(Note.-lt is understood that the
proposed route will cross Tugaloo
river at KnoX's bridge, near Fair
Play, Oconee county, and will go via
Lavonia, Ga.)

A NEW PLANET FOUND.
Outshincs All Othcrs-Rcgalrl.! as
Y Portent of Evil.

A dispatch from Palermo, Italy,,
reports the discovery of a hitherto
unknown planet. 1t made it's first
appearance on the night Of August
10th, the report says, directly over
Giovo Mountain. It's brilliancy was
so great that all neighboring stars
were paled by its rays, and it's lumi-
Mostly increased steadily until mid
night 1t had the appearance of a vast
electric light hanging low in the hea-
vens imm mediately over the noun
tain's apex.
So startling was its effect that the
peasants interpreted 1t as portent
of evil, and many to-day are making
preparations to flee the destruction
they declare is hanging over Palermo
and its environs. Scientists are very
greatly interested in the phenome-
non, and declare that from observa-
tions last night 1t is undoubtedly a
new planet.

The Country for Boys.

ideal life for boy is not in city.
"He should know Of animals, rivers,
plants, and that great out-of-door
life that lays for him the foundation
Of his later years"
What memories this brings to
those of us who were so fortunate
as to be born and brought up in the
country! Personally, we have never
ceased to thank God that we were
privileged to spend the first twenty
years of our life among the hills and
mountains. The pictures that we
then studied are far more real to us
than the canvases of the great mas
ters which We have since enjoyed in
the European museums.

bare feet, jumping every now and

your soles-what experience of your
life would you exchange for those

AUGUST CROP CONDITIONS.
Slightly Higher on August I, 1909,
than Oh Same Day Last Year.

Washington, Aug. 1o.--Crop con-
ditions in the United States on Au-
gust !, 1909, were in the aggregate
slightly higher than on August 1st,
1908, and moderately higher than a
ten-year average condition of all
crops on August |. In addition to the
higher condition, the acreage Of cul-
tivated crops is about 1.6 per cent
greater than last year. So says a gen.
eral review of crop conditions issued
to-day. Winter wheat, spring wheat,
corn, oats, rye, fax and grapes are
better than last year and the ten-year
average; barley and potatoes were
better than the condition on August
l last year, but slightly below the
average condition. Tobacco and
sweet potatoes were better than the
average and lower than last year.
Important crops which were below
both last year and an average condi-
ton are cotton, rice, hay, buckwheat
and apples. Conditions vary, how
ever, In the different sections of the
United States.
Summarized, the relative condition
Of crops, in the aggregate, in the diff
ferent sections of the Vr C states
on August l was: Norm Atlantic
States, including New York and Fem
sylvania, 1917, or 7.5 PEI cent below
the ten-year average on August /;
South Atlantic States SOL, or SIS
below the average, and South Cen
trail 91.4, or 10 per cent below.
