Supervisor Owens Letter.

Columbia, s. c., Aug. 23, 1909.
Mr.. c. w. Norman, Columbia, 3. c..
Dear Sir: I find that it is impossi-
BILE for me to attend the meeting at
Sumter this afternoon. would be
glad for you to state to the delega-
tiOn there my reasons for advocating
the old Garner's Ferry crossing. The
primary object of this road Is to con-
meet Sumter with Columbia. The old
Garner's Ferry road where 1t now Is
Is direct line, which I think is a
sufficient reason, If distance does not
count for anything we might as we'll
say we already have a road by way
OF Camden to Sumter. This road. if
1t Is built will be part of the great
State Highway. from the mountains
1T would be a mistake to go several
miles out of the way by crossing the
river below or above the present
crossing. even if it would give a few
miles. even If it would save few
dollars, which l do not believe it
would, rs the swamp is just as wide
near The Atlantic Coast Line Rail-
road crossing, as the water is deeper
on account of the railroad fill. Per-
haps the swamp. Is narrower above
near the Sumter landing, but we have
no road on this side i'm our county ana

LIQUOR SEIZED.
Police Capture -Four Gallons While
I'm Transit.

The police took a long shot on
Monday when they seized four gal
Ions Of corn whiskey which James
Young. a hackman. was transporting
from the express office to the house
of one Glenn West colored. The liq-
uor was consigned to Merriman
weathers, for Glenn West, and up to
the time of the seizure there had
been no effort to sell any Of 1t. The
horse and hack Of James Young were
seized along with the liquor and ia
ken to the guard house, but were
subsequently released. No charges
have been entered on the docket
against Young. weathers or West,
and the case will be held In abey-
ance until more evidence or better
understanding Of the law is obtained.
There seems to be considerable diff
ference Of opinion as to the law and
there is some hesitancy in pushing the
prosecution Of suspected blind tigers
to the extreme.

ne could not make a personal contri-
button, but was authorized by Mr.. r.
+. owen, of the REQ Company to
make a contribution of $10O, and he
was satisfied that Mr. T. B. Jenkins
would also contribute literally when
ne returned to the city. This brought
the meeting to the matter of raising
money by private subscription, and
subscriptions were called for. The fol-
lowing amounts were subscribed:
l.. d. Jennings 800; F. E. Thomas
5000; A. G. Aycock, $500; H. J. HARDY
500; E. A. Jenkins for r. E. Owen.
500. The subscriptions were made on
condition that the highway be built
by the way of Wedgefield and
through the swamp parallel to the
Atlantic Coast Line railway.
A committee consisting Of ]. A.
Mood. L. D. jennings and A. e. Ay-
cock was appointed to raise a fund of
not less than $4,000 for the construc-
tion OF the road through the swamp,
1t being understood that Sumter and
Richland counties will build the re-
mainder of the road.
When the meeting adjourned the
Columbia committee were given an
automobile ride around the city and
then to the Hotel Sumter where they
were the guests of the Sumter Cham
Der of Commerce at supper. The COM
mittee returned to Columbia on the
9 20 train.

WHAT RURAL FREE DELIVERY

But rural free delivery does more. m

ing all that has happened round the
world in the last "a hours. And it ia
the daily paper that has widened his
horizon from the village postoffice to
the other side Of the globe. States
men and parliaments and famous
personalities have entered his per-
sonal field of consciousness. New in
ventions. great ~hievements, reach
him now so that he thrills with the
rest of the world at their happening.
He is living with his time instead Of
following it. And his intelligence has
quickened and his convictions have
strengthened as he finds himself
abreast with the world. When rural
free delivery was first agitated,. peo-
pie said: why the farmer doesn't
need it. He seldom gets any letters
and he takes only weekly papers,"
For that the farmer was not to
blame. Today there are over $4,000
free delivery routes. The first route
was established in 1896. Out at
Turner Postoffice, Ore, there were
then just 13 daily papers taken. Three
years later there were I13. "It would

Missionaries Provide "Holy Families

A colporteur, delivering a New Year address before Sunday school, dis played a number of pictures and images of the Holy Family.
 Here is Holy Family for export to China he said.
 The children laughed, for the Mary of the group was China woman, with dwarfed feet and slanting eyes; Jo- seph was an old Chinaman with a long, thin mustache and queue; the sacred infant had the fiat nose and oblique eyes of China.
 Here" said the colporteur, lis a Holy Family for the Congo people"
 The children laughed again. Mary was now fat and black, with woolly hair; Joseph was stalwart black war rior. spear in his hand, a girdle of feathers about his waist; the infant, too, was black.
 Our Holy Families for missionary use" the colporteur explained, are always made in the likeness of the people they are to go among. Those simple and childlike people would be estranged by q white Holy Family Only this sort shows them the Deity's real kinship with them. selves

We know that she has two or more souls She may love and hate at the same time and the same person. She may say and think that she is sick or we'll when the reverse is really true. It means simply that one soul is in as- tendency. These two souls may be absolute strangers to each other, but they certainly exist We have proved 1t beyond the shadow of a doubt Georgia Dairy News.

Used Dolls to Set Fashions

Long before women's newspapers were started, and fashion plates in their modern form were thought of, women derived their knowledge of the fashions from dolls dressed in modern costumes, which were sent from one country to another, more especially from Paris, which then, as now, was the leading center of the mode.
