QUEER SALES AT AUCTION

IN these days all kinds of things find sale un-
der the hammer of the eer,-viages
canals. battlefelds. even graveyards. While
cemeteries do not often come within this act,
they have been SO disposed of in not few in
stances, the oddest being the purchase year
or so ago by Pennsylvania man of a grave
yard that he purposed to utilize private
burying ground.
One of the most curious lots ever put up was
offered in New York about four years ago.
Then choice assortment of old tombstones,
grave rails, and headstones was offered for sale
in the graveyard of Saint Peters church in the
Bronx
Another odd auction sale was that which

OUT AND IN POLITICS

NEWSPAPER men in a large city of the
Middle West have had a difficult time
trying to elicit political information from a
certain politician in that town, who in answer
to all questions invariably offers the stereo-
typed response, Il am out of politics"
lnasmuch as the man is an important figure
in the local political turmoil, this response is
not taken seriously by the interviewers; to
whom, indeed, its repeated utterance has be-
come a trif1e monotonous.
Not long ago veteran reporter succeeded
in gaining the presence of the politician. to
whom he put the query, What's going on il
politics."
'Oh, I'm out of politics" was the answer.
That's understood, of course" quickly re-
sponded the scribe. Would YOU mind letting
us know what progress you're making toward

sand dollars annually.
Perhaps the only instance of an entire village
coming under the hammer was that of the little
town Of Winthrop Harbor, which was knocked
down at auction for thirty thousand dollars
This town is situated near the State line Dor
dering on Dowies Zion City, and at the time
of the sale it was understood that the purchase
was made for that redoubtable prophet.
Some years ago a man in New Jersey pur
chased at auction two ponds of water that is
to say, he purchased several acres of land, alb
solutely worthless in itself. in order to secure
the water in question. To the astonishment
of those who commiserated with the buver for
his bargain the man eventually cleaned up 4
neat fortune from the chalk deposits found at
the bottom of the ponds.

NATIONAL NICKNAMES

7 IKE individuals, the nations of the earth
have nicknames. The appropriateness oi
some is quite evident; but to explain the
origin of others would be difficult.
Englishmen have submitted to the name Of
John Bull, as suited to the national character
A Scotsman is Sandy; the Irishman gets his
nickname. Paddy, from his national patror.
saint; while an ancient nursery rime records
land the Frenchman is sometimes rather CON
temptuously alluded to as John Crepaud; bu,
in France he is Jacques Bonhomne. or, as
bourgeois Monsieur Prudhomme.
Cousin Michel is the nickname by which tn.
German is known to the Continental nations
Mynheer Closh, an abbreviation of Nicholas,
is the name applied to Hollanders; and the
Swtzer rejoices in the name of Colin Tampon.

Quarrel With Army officer.

Anderson. 5. c., August IA
meeting of the board of Clemson
College was called today to consider
the situation growing out of the res
ispation OF Or p. 1t. Nell as presi-
dent of the institution. 1t is thought
that the board will refuse to accept
his resignation.
That military commandants, as
signed to college duty by the war de-
partment, consider themselves
equal in authority TO the college
president or above him was one of
the reasons given by Or. Nell for
his resignation
Dr. Nell issued statement in
which he said that lack of clearness
in the college rules prevented the
military commandments from realiZ-
ing that they were not the college
presidents authority Other reasons
for his resi- gnation we're frequent in
reference by the trustees with the
administration of the presidents du-
ties and their selection OF faculty

gardiug The presidents wishes.

The annual reunion of the Ellis
County Pioneers Association was
held at the Chautauqua park We'd
nesday. The attendance was not
very large but every one seemed to
get a good deal of enjoyment out OF
the occasion There was plenty to
eat and in the afternoon a number
of addresses were made.
In the transaction of business the
name of the organization was
changed so that all controversy
might be ended as to who is eligible
to membership. The new name
adopted is the Ellis County Pioneers
and Old Settlers Association All
white citizens who came to the coun-
ty prior TO January |, 1868, and
their descendants. will be admitted

TAN LEVY FOR 1909.
Failing off in Rendition of Property
Increases Tax Rate.

AZ Thursdays session Of the COM
mi,sIonerS' court the county tax rate
for the year 1908 was fixed at - y
cents ON tn, $lc0 worth of property.
This is an increase OF one and a half
cents owe last year and is due to "A
redu-Uun N the taxable valuation of
property. County Assessor killebrew
has not completed his rolls yet, but
valuation OF property this year will
be about one and a half million dol
lars lower than last year. MI. kille-
brew report will no doubt show
that the whole of this decrease was
on real estate. Farm land in Ellis
county was rendered last year at a
higher rate than in any other county
in Texas, and at the first meeting of
the equalization board this year the
statement was made that unless
there was an increase in the rendi-
lions in other black land counties
they would be lowered in Ellis from
last year
The increase in the rate of taxa
ton this year was made on the
courthouse sinking fund. The raise
made was from one cent to two and
one-half cents on the one hundred
dollars worth OF property. The gen
eral county fund was placed at 10
cents and the road and bridge fund
at 10 cents.
BY an order Of the court issued
Thursday morning $4,000 was trans
ferred from the general fund to the
road and bridge fund and $4,000
from the general to the jury fund.
The court finished its work for
the term Thursday afternoon and ad-
iourned to meet Saturday when the
order for the road bonds of the Wax
ahachie district will be issued,

with headquarters at Portland, Ore
Will be discussed. This suggestion,
which has almost created a commo-
tion in passenger traffic circles, is
nothing more nor less than using
women as general passenger agents
Mr. Scott bases his argument on
the belief that women will be much
more inclined to travel in large par
ties with a general passenger agent if
that official is woman, and he
holds that a capable woman can ar
range an intinerary and the details
Of trip with as great ease as a man.

Portland have already applied to him
for such positions, in case the sug-
gestion is followed Denison Her
