Observation-Disclosures.
BITTINGER.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

This week began with steady breeze
blowing out of the north and the tenn
peratme lowering dangerously near the
frost line.
A traveller through this neighborhood
could see the novel and interesting
sight of score or more of men busily
engaged in cradleing, raking and bind
ing wheat in a seventy-two acre field
on the old Cunningham farm near this
village. This large field is all ground
recently cleared of timber and is there
fore thickly dotted with stumps and the
harvesting of the grain is impossible
save in the old time way.
During last week five automobiles
passed through this village en- route to
and from Oakland.
G. W. Engle and family. of Baltimore,
came to this village last Monday for a
short stay in the mountains.
School Commissioner George Z. Bis
hotf, of Oakland, passed through this
place last Monday morning.
Fred Miller, of Accident, was a bust
ness caller last Monday evening.
After spending a week with her sis
ter at this place, Miss Dolly Winter
burg returned to her home in Grants
vile last Sunday.
Rev. j. B. Shoup is confined to his
bed at the home of his daughter. Mrs.
o. C.. Buckle, and his many friends
hope for his speedy recovery.
Miss Effie Bittinger, our agreeable
hello girl, is off duty this week on
account of illness.

WATER RUNNING LOW.
\ Recurrence Of Last Falls Dry
Weather Probable.

The late months Of last summer and
the early months of the fall witnessed
the driest weather ever experienced in
this section of the country, as wells and
springs never before known to dry up
were as barren of water as the Sahara
Desert.
A recurrence of this condition is now
threatened the residents of Oakland as
wells have become entirely dry and
others are extremely low, especially
those located in the higher portions of
the town. Last fall when the water
was at its lowest more Or less sickness
ensued and this is feared will follow the
present state of weather should it con-
tinue, which is one of the possibilities.

program arranged by the president o
the Society. Senator ". McCullol
Brown, will be carried out.
Some changes in the mode Of arrang
ing the wires of the c. & P. Telephone
Company are being made through tht
Park, the object being to group the ser
vice wires in order to overcome the
great amount Of induction caused By
the proximity Of the electric light lines
which has been an annoyance and al
most entirely placed the service out OF
commission after the current is turned
on at night.
At the meeting Of the Interstate
Good Roads Conference to be held i'm
mediately after the close of the Chau.
tauqua season this year, a plan will
probably be outlined and the prelirnin-
aries arranged for the building of a
Shoemaker road between Oakland and
the Park, as indicated exclusively in
your columns a few weeks ago. This
road will be of lasting benefit and
a source of pleasure 70 every residen;
of the county and every visitor to this
section having occasion to travel be-
tween the two towns. Under the Shoe
maker plan Of building roads curves and
grades are eliminated where possible,
the roadway widening where traffic de-
mands it and the road built along scien-
tifc lines and costing the county but
forty per cent. Of its contract price
The building of such road will not only
be a source Of great pleasure to the
people but will greatly enhance the
value Of every piece Of property in
both towns and the lands adjacent to it.
Let the good road movement spread I'M
til every portion of Garrett county
shall have the main highways in a
state of perfection.
Numerous visitors are reaching the
Park daily from both east and west and
as result the hotels and boarding
houses are ENJOYING . splendid patron
age.
Among those who have recently
arrived here to spend the month Of
August are Mrs. ". H. Spedden and
family of Fairmont; Mrs. Olln F. burst
and two children, Of Homecoming, and
Mrs. bursts mother, Mrs. Leah F. Sin
cell, of Oakland, who are Occupying the
Mrs. Byrne cottage; Mr.. and Mrs. W. NJ.
Bishop, Of Terra Alta, and a number of
others.
No abatement in the agitation for
natural gas to beintroduced in the Park
is apparent. Our people want it, but
they desire to haye it on a fair and
equitable basis and trust that an
amicable agreement may be reached
between the representatives ofsthe gas
company and the Park committee when
they meet to confer over the matter.

Randolph--TucKer Boundary Line

The work of running the boundary
line between Tucker and Randolph
counties, W. Va, has been completed
and the result was that the old line
was established. 1t had been over
looked and the Perley and Cockett
Lumber Co. has been paying taxes in
Tucker county when their plant is just
across the line in Randolph county.
Their taxes amount to something over
81, 600 per year and Tucker county has
been collecting taxes from them for the
past five years.

forms of bird life native to this coun-
try, because they destroy large mum
bers of insects which seriously damage
forest and food crops. 1t seems, there.
fore, that methods should be under
taken to compel the birds to revert to
their former habit of boring rather
than to exterminate them.
Frequent inquiries have been made
by the forest service in this connection,
but til eonly information to date which
the government has been able to OBJ
tain is that on a casual inspection of
treated and untreated pole lines in
Louisiana. In that region it was found
that poles which had been i~mpregnated
with creosote oil were not attacked by
the birds, whereas untreated poles un-
der the same conditions were very
severely injured.
Whether or not creosote will prevent
such attack is not definitely known.
but the service is investigating this
problem, and should this oil prove a
preventative, it will fulfill a two-fold
purpose: 1t will protect the ploes
from decay and destruction from ami
nal life. In southern Indiana, SOM
members of a traction company thought
that they could prevent further de
struction of their poles by filling the
holes in the wood with stones. The
birds, however. simply drilled around
the stones and made the conditions
much worse. This apparently does mo-
seem to me a means of preventing theil
depredations.

DAMAGED BY
WOODPECKERS

Considerable damage is being done
to telephone, telegraph and electric
light poles by members of the wood
pecker family. These birds originally
built their homes in the lead or dying
trunks or limbs of trees, but for some
reason best know tothemselves, have
come to the conclusion that the peeled
pole offers better conditions for a
home.
They have become so %ravenous of
late that their de~predations are at
tracing considerable attention among
those who are compelled to use guam
titles of wooden poles. Their activities
spread over a wide portion of the Unit
ed States, notably in the south, south
west and central west. Cedar poles
seem to be the ones most frequently
attacked. The birds bore into them
at any height from the ground, and the
holes which they make are often two
or three inches in diameter and four
or five inches deep Such an amount of
wood drilled from a stick of timber
which is carrying a load of wires
naturally weakens the strength of the
line.
1t would, Of course, not be a diff
ficut matter to extermlnate these
birds. However, this is not desirable
as they are among the most beneficial

Locking After Beggars.

Since writing about beggars last week,
we learn, that the town council is looking
after them. While no license fee is being
charged up against the business, beggars
must get permission before they can do
the town. Those beggars who have not
reasonable plea are told to move on, and
they generally move on to escape the
pains and penalties that are usually i'm
posed npon vagrants. AS all communi-
ties and governments in this conntry
provide for the needy it is not necessary
for the people Of Abbeville to care for all
the paupers that may come from any and
every part of the world
By the time we support our own needy
we are sufficiently exhausted to need 9
rest. Beggars are nearly as\bad as the
appeals for foreign missions, which for
eign missions we regard as the worst
cheat that is being pressed upon the Ameri
can people, and by which pressure gooG
and simple minded people are being daily
induced to throw away vast sums of mon
ey for visionary and impossible schemes
by which able bodied men make a gooG
living out OF us,

Yarn and Knitting Mill.

Whether Abbeville ever builds any more
cotton mills or not, need not interfere with
the building OF spinning and knitting
mill. While we know little or nothing Of
the present value Of the property Of the
furniture factory, which is offered for sale,
and while we are equally ignorant as to
the conduct Of spinning and knitting
mill, yet We think the chances are that
now is the time to build such an industrial
enterprise. II this is hard times then it is
the most favorable time to put itup. II it
is not hard times we can the more readily
furnish the money.
The plant of the furniture factory, it
seems to US, could be utilized to advantage.
If we do nothing more the town is finished.
The boom in the price Of property will
burst. The pendulum will swing back, and
We will be at standstill.
Let some young man look into the value
Of the furniture plant, and then let him de-
eide as to it's availability. If it is available
and bargain, the town is plenty able to
build the spinning and yarn mill. AS far
as our information goes the success Of a
knitting mill depends upon the ability to
either spin the thread or to buy it in the
town in which it is located. To ship it in,
costs, including freight commissions dray-
age and other expenses, about two cents a
pound. Two cents pound clear profit is
not bad business in itself. Look at the
furniture plant, and see it for yourself. 1t
will 60 under the auctioneers hammer
next Sale Day. Act now or else lie down
and go to sleep. The sound Of the carpen-
ter's hammer and the ring Of the bricklay-
er's trowel will not disturb your slumber.
One good thing about sleepy old town is
that nobody can carry it off, even If any
body had any use for it. A sleepy old town
is anchored, and cannot be stolen while We
sleep. 1t will be there the next time a
drummer comes.
