HIGHEST ALTITUDE RECORD
II ABOUT 80. 900 FEET

While the Stamm balloon flew in
what Is considered a high balloon al
titude in this country. Mr. Blondin
says that the world record for altitude
makes the performance OF the local
airship insignificant. AZ far as mere
height In the air Is concerned. The
highest altitude attained by a balloon
was in Germany some years ago, when
one such craft went TO a height OF
$1,000 feet.
1T Is necessary to have special
breathing apparatus ana begin the
breathing of oxygen at about the 20,-
600 foot level" said Mr.. Blondin. AS
far as | have learned the view Of the
earth at that altitude which might
be considered something wonderful is
unsatisfactory and not impressive, not
50 much so as at half tbs altitude.
The distance. clouds ana mist at that
height are practically certain to make
the earth dim and blurred. The next
highest ascension was made by Tis-
sander ana a party Of other French
mon, Tissandier being the only one
10 survive. The party were all over
come in the high altitude and losing
their heads threw out ballast instead
of letting ont the gas. No man knows
how long the balloon remained at that
terrific height. When it landed all
the occupants had blood running from
their eyes ana ears, mouths and noses
and all but Tissandier were dead. He
was unconscious. but recovered, in
some miraculous manner.

No longer is it necessary for tho
convivial soul to carry such Il card
around with him on his New Years
calls, says Eugene Wood in Munsey's
Magazine for November.
In discussing the growth or the pro-
hihition sentiment. he says:
Passing a law f%orbidding the sale
of liquor is the formal expression Of
the profound conviction of the people
that getting drunk is a low-doWn piece
of business. As such. ii is Officially
put in the same class with chicken
thieving. That part of the community
which has self-rcspect, which wants
to be somebody, which wants to make
this a better and better world to live
in-the greater part of the community
just noW-says au~thoritatively to the
antisocial element that still sticks in
the mud in spite of civilizing in
fluenccs:
OF YOU must get drunk, get drunk.
and joy go with YOU, But hereafter
you'll nav to do II on the sly, like
any other deviltry.'
THE nub OF this whole movement.
1t seems to me, is not that 1t prevents
the old soaks from getting enough
liquor to enable them to come home
and beat their wives and turn sick
children out into the storm. Ii IL not
that IL tends to remove tcmpta-
tion from before the ~hoys--and yet !
wouldn't minimize that gracious act
by a hairs weight, That is a mighty
significant thing. II shows that We
are coming to see more clearly every
year that 1t doesn't SO much matter
about this present generation We're
mado or married already. But the
coming generation matters q whole
lot. About all We grown folks are
good for is to provide that there shall
be n fine stand of young folks coming
There's many and many Il father
who would fight like a wildcat to keep
the town from going dry if it was
only himself that ht was looking out
but who viii march up to the
polls like a little man and vote as
dry as ashes Tor his boys sake. The
bid man likes his nip now and then
but it isn't good for bOys-certainly |
for his boy" |

FALLING OFF IN REVENUE COL

CLERK FOR YEAR.
DEPRESSION VAS The CAUSE
Total Taxes Collected in 1908 About
Nine Per Cent Less Than
In 1907.

Receipts at the Office of the County
Court Clerk of Maury county for 1905
show quite little falling of from the
receipts at the same Office in 1907,
the total reduction being s1,SS3.6s or
nine per cent.
This reduction is due to a number
OF causes, chief of which perhaps is
the reduction in stocks carried by the
merchants of the county and conse-
quent reduction in the ad Yalorem tax
es paid by them. The panic of octo-
Der, 1907 caused the great majority
of the merchants to keep as close to
the shore as possibleAan to buy only
what goods they felt they could surely
sell. In addition to this Columbia is
SO close to the wholesale houses and
goods can be secured so quickly that
they do not require as large stocks.
Other causes have contributed to the
reduction. A number of merchants
have gone out Of business during the
past year, there were few hucksters
and pedlers operating in the county,
and quite reduction in the number
of neighborhood butchers.
The comparative report for the two
years follows:

JAIL ON TWO SERIOUS
CHARGES.

But Claims That He And The
Hogs Were Simply Walking
Same Way.

Chas. Cranberry colored, has been
landed in Jail here on charges of car
rying pistol and the larceny Of some
hogs, and other charges may follow.
Cranberry is from the Ashwood neigh
borhood, and in view of the fact that
many hogs were stolen out there last
fall from prominent farmers, his ar
rest may have a far-reaching effect.
Will Thomas and Alex Duke are
responsible for the catch, and the ar
rest was made at Dukes store. Fri
day night Mr. Thomas was riding to-
ward Ashwood and noticed well ahead
of him a man apparently driving some
hogs. When he got near the man turn
ed and walked back toward Colum-
bia, leaving the hogs. Mr. Thomas
went on to the store and aroused
Mr. Duke. The two men armed them
selves and waited. The negro soon
appeared Immediately behind the hogs.
Il was arrested and officer Butts
went OUT ana brought nIm iHIO jail.
A fine 3S Smith & Wesson pistol
and q pair OF wire cutters were found
on the negro He admits the pistol
carrying, but says the hogs were SIM
ply walking down the pike and he was
just walking along behind them.
The hogs. fourteen in number, are
extra large and fine and fat, and are
supposed to have been stolen from the
pen of John NJ. Gray. They are at
present at Dukes store and their own
ership is being investigated.

WASHINGTON, Jan. s.-In re-
Spouse TO the suggestion of the Italian
Red Cross Society that vessel might
be loaded at Genoa with provisions
and sent to the scene of the earth
quake disaster. the American National
Red Cross tonight cabled $4,000

medical supplies. That amount is in
addition to the 100000 and the $780,

Red Cross. BY sending the money in
stead of undertaking to provide for
the shipment OF supplies, the Ameri-
can Red Cross adopted what it regards
as the best method of meeting the
emergencies that face the Italian Red
Cross.

FALLING OFF IN
R. R. MILEAGE
LESS TRACK LAID IN PAST YEAR
THAN IN ANY YEAR IN
PAST FIVE.

In a recent issue Of the Railway
Age-Gazette is shown interesting sta.
tistics on the development OF the rail-
ways of the country, carrying infor.
nation which throws light on the gen
eral business situation, and which are
being used in the prediction of re-
suits for another year. While the
falling OF in the extension of lines
and in the building of cars and other
equipment was comparatively large.
yet it was claimed that the recent
orders placed, which came too late to
show in completed equipment. is sug-
gestive of improved business, and
quick return to the normal conditions.
1t was shown that, according TO the
best obtainable statistics, 3.214 miles
of new rail were laid in the United
States during the year, as against
SPA miles for 1907. In other words.
the decrease for the year was slightly
over 80 per cent. The 1908 record
was the smallest since 1904.
The main increase in the mileage
was in the West, the records showing
only 761 miles of new rail east Of the
River.
