Public Lands.

It was in the closing days of his
Administration that Roosevelt learn
ed Of the wholesale Selling Of water
powers by the then forming water
power trust. He took sharp action
to disconcert their plans. He was
convinced that the occasion called for
the EXTREMIST exercise Of his preroga-
tives.
Water power, in Mr.. Roosevelt's
opinion, will some day supersede coal
and steam. The great Western water
powers will run the railroads OF the
future and be sent across the plains
to the mills and factories. They will
pump floods Of water upon millions
of acres of ard land and make new
homes for multitudes of Americans.
MI. Roosevelt foresaw that If a
private combination should get COM
plete control of this gigantic energy,
it might in the future hold the very
life of the nation in its extortionate
grasp.
Therefore It was that on the last
day of the Roosevelt Administration
1876, 900, 900 acres Of debatable ground
was withdrawn from the reach Of land
grabbers. 1t was said that n Of the
first things done by MI. Ballinger,
after he was sworn into the Cabinet,
was to begin the turning back Of this
land to the grab bag on some techni-
cal grounds not yet generally under
StOod.-NeW York American.

Final Test POSTPONED.

Washington, Special.-A persis-
tent wind and suddenly discovered
stoppage in the gasoline feed pipe Of
his motor prevented Orville Wright
from making, Wednesday evening, his
final cross-country two-man test Of
the aeroplane. After he had waited
in supposed readiness for the start,
for an hour with the aeroplane on the
'monorail at Fort Myer, the wind died
down at last to little more than a
whisper, and then it was discovered
that the fnel-feed was obstructed. By
that time it was dusk, and the flight
was declared off for the day, the
army officials granting him three days
additional time for the test. The time
limit under the original contract e1-
pired Wednesday.
The failure of the trial disoppoint-
ed an immense crowd, including
President Taft and practically all Of
the most prominent government Of
fcials. All along the course laid out
for the trial, people were gathered,
on foot and horseback and in We
hicles of every conceivable character.
At Shutter Hill, just outside of the
city of Alexandria, where the turning
point was located, was assembled
what must have been fair quorum
Of the people of that community.

Exercise For Fowls.

There is no doubt that exercise is
very beneficial to fowls. Among hui
mans the lack of exercise combined
with high feeding causes most trou-
blesome diseases, such as dropsy.
The same laws govern the animal
world. There are several things that
exercise does. One Of these is, 1t
prevents the birds becoming too fat.
which in turn destroys their useful
ness. No matter how much a bird
eats, If it exercises it will keep the
fat from accumulating, as the mus
cular exertion causes the lungs to
work excessively, and in doing this
they burn up large amount Of car
bon, which comes from the food. Be
ing burned up in this way, it does not
accumulate on the body and around
the intestines in the form of fat.
In the poultry house, whole grain
should be fed in cut straw or chaff
spread thickly. If it Is fed in hay or
whole straw the task Of uncovering 1t
is too light. The finer the straw the
more perfectly will it cover the grain
that is sown in 1t, and the more diff
cult will be the task Of getting 1t out,
which the hens must do kernel by
kernel. If poultry keepers would
follow this plan their fowls would lay
more eggs, for the reason that they
would not be over-fat and would be in
generally good health. The mere fact
of exercise does not cause the produc.
tion Of eggs.

Youths Mysterious Death.

Union, Special.-Louis Vanderferd
the 16-year-old son of Mr.. Ashmore
Yanderford, a prominent citizen and
progressive planter of the Mt. Tabor
section of this county, killed himself
Monday morning about 8 o'clock in
patch of woods about lao yards
from his home. Whether tie shoot
ing was done accidentally CT inten-
tionally is not definitely known, IS
the whole affair seems to be wrapped
in mystery, the family apparently
being unable to thrown any light
upon the cause of the very sad
tragedy. It was the sound of rifle
shot from the patch Of woods that
attracted the attention Of Mr.. Ash
more Vanderford, father of the
young man, and caused him to go
to the spot and investigate what was
the matter. On his arrival he found
his son with bullet hole through
his heart and lungs, which had pro-
duced instant death. The. bullet was
fred from 1920 Winchester rifle,
which had been in the house, but
which Mr.. Vanderford did not know
that his son had taken out with him.
He was a young man of good habits
and was in good health.

REPORT is AGREED UPON

Majority Members of the Conference
Committee on the Payne-A1drict
Bill Bring Their Labors to q Sud
den Close-Aldrich and Payne
Hasten to Fort Meyer and See The
President.
Washington, Special. After work
ing for nearly three weeks at what
proved to be one of the longest ane
most anxious tasks ever experienced
in tariff building, the majority mem.
bers of the conference committee o.
the Payne-Aldrica bill brought their
hbors to a sudden close at 6 o.ci,ci
Wednesday evening.
Without a moments delay tht
Senate aud House leaders, whose
names are carried by the bill, started
away by automobile with the inten-
tion Of laying their report before
President Taft, who had gone to Fort
Myer to see what had been intended
to be the last official aeroplane flight
Of the Wright brothers.
All day long the conferees had
struggled with the question of bring.
ing down the House rates on lumbe,
to figures they felt would meet with
executive approval. In this effort
they failed.
Lumber was made dutiable at rates
only a little below those named by
the Senate bill, and there was q very
slight shading from the House rates
on gloves of good quality. Although
it was not admitted by the conferees,
the general impression drawn from
the hurried trip to Fort Myer> was
that Messrs. Aldrich and Payne had
been authorized by their colleagues
to incorporate in the conference re.
port such figures as could be agreed
upon with the President, in so far a
they came within range of what tho
leaders believe will be acceptable in
the House and Senate.
Returning from the conference at
: Fort Myer, Messrs. Aldrich and
Payne seemed to be entirely satisfied
with the outcome of their mission,
although neither would discuss the
conclusions reached.
1t was announced officially that the
Democratic members of the confer
ence committee would be called in
session Thursday.
In view Of President Taft's utter
ances, Senate and House leaders were
predicting that the conference rates
on gloves and lumber would not
prove satisfactory to him.

Heef Scrap For Fowls.

Beef scrap is indispensable for
yarded fowls, and for range fowls
also in winter. They, only eat a
small quantity after gradually feed
ing it to them, even when kept in
their reach all the time, but this lit
tie they must have to be profitable as
layers or breeders. 1t. like the alf-
alfa, may either be fed dry, and kept
In their reach all the time, or fed in
the mashes. Two heaped tablespoon
fuls to a dozen fowls per day, If fed
in mash, produce good results. When
giving mash feed give all that will
be eaten up clean, but none to be left.

/ Little Girl Has Awful Experience.
Fort Mill, Special more extra
ordinary and terrifying experience
comes to few people than that which
.befell the family of Mr.. G. Cook, an
industrious farmer living five miles
east Of here. While playing on the
curbing his little 7-yetr old daugh-
ter fell into their well which was
walled with 12-inch terra Gotta pip
ing which is barely wide enough to
let the little body down endwise and
smooth as glass on the inside, afford
ing apparently no means whatever
of recovery. What is even more re-
markable than how the child man
aged to fall into such q small open
ing is the manner OF her escape.
When she arose to the surface of the
water instinct prompted her to throw
out her hand and knees and in this
manner pressed her weight against
the sides Of the piping with death
clasp that nothing but brute force
could move and this was applied in
the shape of a pair of sseelyards and
the little body forcibly recovered
after more than two hours of fearful
effort.
During this time no amount of per-
suasion or threats could compel the
girl to loosen her grasp sufficiently
to grasp the rope dangling around.
Whether is was, fear, not being able
to understand from 80 feet above or
a wise Providence that justified her
is not known, at any rate for more
than two hours this little girl remain
ed in the cold water in dark well,
with nothing but the CLASSY sides Of
the piping to press herself against
for support.
She is now safe and not much the
worse for her horrible experience.
The feeling of the parents and neigh
bors in this trying experience cannot
be imagined.

The former record was made last

Wilbur was an es ser sepctator OF
Tuesdays fight by his brother.
The cheering whcih heralded the
setting of new mark in the conquest

of the air, was led BY President Taft
in person, who had sat, an intensely
interested spectator throughout the
fight, and WHO insisted at its geonclu-
sion upon personally cong gratulating
the brothers upon their success.
This success was simportant to
the Wrights in that it completed the
first Of two crucial tests Of their
machine imposed upon them by the
United States goyernmentthe so
called endurance test, . which re-
quirer them to remain one hour con-
tinuousEy in the air with one passan-
ger. Orville did nearly minutes
better than that, and could have kept
on indefinitely three hours and
half, the limit imposed by the gaso-
line capacity OF the suppl tank.
His devoted sister, Miss Katherine
Wright, who nursed Orville through
the period Of his recovery from that
disaster, in which he was hurt Sept.
II, 1908, and Lieut.. Selfrdge was kill
ed, anxiously watched him from the
shed where the aeroplane is kept, and
when he returned unhurt from his
flight, g1ipped him eagerly BIZ the
arm, nestled her face against his
breast and SAID: "Bully for you,
