and that the increase was caused by
the purchase of automobiles. We
would not advise any thrifty farmer
to mortgage his home in order to
purchase an auto" Yet we are
glad of the auto craze" because I
believe it will eycntuatc in good
roads.
A few years ago, then rich
chaps" turned up their noses, when
we preached the doctrine Of good
roads, fearing they would have to
down in their pockets and pay an
extra tax, but now, they are willing
to help us. The poor man has prac-
tically kept up the roads since the
war, and it is lime the wealthy were
getting ready to help.
An excursion from Plum Branch

The excursionists consisted of the

We have had sufficient rains,
which came just in time for grain
if anything can help it. The truth is,
the grain in western Edgefeld SO
far as l have observed, is quite poor
and it is doubtful if anything can
help it. The only grain that | have
seen that looks promising is that
treated with nitrate of soda.
We are sorry to chronicle the
fact, that Mrs. Johnnie Stone has
been quite i'll. We hope for her
speedy recovery.
Energetic Mr.. Will Strom, of

Beautiful Monument to Memory
of Mr.. D orn.Excursion to Con-
ME Maxwell Orphanage.

Since my last notes, a beautiful
monument has been erected to the
memory of Mr.. L.. F. Dorm, in fact
the ~prettiest that / know of in west
ern Edgefeld. The cost of the
monument, 1 understand is s5l8.OO
of which the Woodmen of the
world, as she does to all her deceas.
ed members, contributed $4,000.
One side of the monument is the K.
of P. emblem, and another the Ma
sonic, and on the other DUN tao
a, clama," representing the w. 0.
w.
His family have a fine sense of
the fitness of things, for the in
scription on the monument comes
nearer expressing the true life and
character of our dear friend, than
great columns of eulogistic matter,
some of which is often put upon
tombstones. Mr.. Dorm held many
positions of honor and trust but
none of these things are mentioned.
The inscription simply reads: He
was faithful to every duty" A more
beftting epitaph could not be put
upon the monument of our friend,
because he was ever faithful to
everything he conceived to be his
duty.
On last Tuesday night, our local
camp W. O.. w. met and decided to
unveil this monument, also Sow. R.
S. Blackwell's on the first Sunday
in June, which we adopted as decora
ton day, also combining the two
services. Our pastor who is a Wood
man will preach a special sermon in
che morning on fraternity and in
the afternoon memorial exercises
in memory Of our deceased sover-
eigns. A gifted speaker from a dis
lance has been invited to deliver
the memorial address and visiting
camps invited.

DIX DENIES CONNECTION
WITH WALL PAPER TRUST

ALBANY, N. Y, Oct. 24.-Repeating
his assertion that he is not and never
has been connected directly or in
directly with any wall paper trust, as
alleged by Colonel Roosevelt, John A.
Dix, Democratic nominee for governor,
in a statement tonight demands from
the former president "the apology
which one gentleman owes to another
for even involuntary misrepresenta-
ton"
Mr.. Dix states that he never had any
connection with the Standard Wall
Paper company, which was a defend
ant in an action before the federal
supreme court. That company went
out of business, he said, in 1908, and
the second Standard Wall Paper COM
pany of which Mr.. Dix is now a
director, was organized and bought
among other properties, the plants and
manufactured goods of the old Stand
ard company.
"This whole business" said Mr.. Dix,
"affords another example of the reck-
less manner in which the former
president of the United States misuses
the great standing which he acquired
by his election to the presidency, tc
misrepresent those who oppose him in
any way"

BOARD FAVORS RAISING
ACE ON SCHOOL TICKET
Educators Receive Request from
Students to Increase Limit
on Special Rate

The request of the students of the
high schools in Los Angeles, asking
the Los Angeles railway to increase
the age limit on half fare school tickets
over it's lines from Is years of age to
q years of age was presented to the
board of education last evening at its
regular meeting and received the
hearty Endorsement of that body.
Under the present regulations, stu
dents more than Is years Of age can
not buy school tickets for use in go
ing to and from school at the half
fare rate.
The students, in presenting their re
quest, set forth that few students
graduate from high school under the
age of IS; that many of the ones past
the age limit are in poor circumstances
and unable to pay full fare twice a
day; and that the rule limiting the
ages of students to IS encourages fab
rication on the part of those who de-
sire to secure ticket books. 1t was
further stated that the state law pro-
vides for the education of children up
to the age of Il, and the statement was
made that the railroads should not
deny privileges to bona fide students.
The board voted to forward the request
to the Los Angeles Railway company,
together with a letter from the board
heartily indorsing the request
A motion was passed to accept the
new hall of science at the Hollywood
high school, holding out $1796, however,
to insure the proper finishing Of the
building by the contractor.

of business, accepting the reports of

and also the report of Superintendent

FAMOUS WRITER PREFERS
FISH YARNS To POLITICS
Samuel G. Blythe of the Saturday
Evening Post Visits
Los Angeles

Samuel G. Blythe, one Of the fore
most political writer's in the United
States and creator of who's Who
and Why" in the Saturday Evening
Post, is in Los Angeles, on his way
back to Washington, d. c., from a
fishing trip he has been enjoying in
Montana. incidentally, Mr. Blythe is
looking over the political situation here
and in Arizona, especially the latter
of the Post within few weeks of just
what IS sure going to happen here
politically.
At the Alexandria, where he is stay
ing, last evening Mr.. Blythe would not
talk about politics or anything con-
nected with them, until he had finished
telling his latest fishing yarns, and at
press time he had not finished yet.
In company with William Loeb, col
lector of customs for New York, and
Robert Z. Davis, editor of Munsey' s
Magazine, Mr.. Blythe has been in Mon
tana, camping and fishing along the
banks of the Madison river. AS a re-
suit he can talk nothing else now but
trout, and he claims-even offers to
bet the family bank roll and what he
can raise by pawning his reputation
that he has discovered the only real
bona fide trout hole in the world.
Several of his friends here were get
ting back at him on one Of his various
trout stories yesterday by reciting a
little incident which occurred the other
day. It seems Mr.. Blythe wrote a let
ter to q friend here, and not having
his typewriter with him had to write
It free hand. That is where he "gOt
in bad" for he dated it Madison
River" in such wobbly scrawl that
it looked extremely like Martini
River" and now his friends here will
have it no other way but that the
famous writer was really on Martini"
river and not trout fishing at all.
Mr.. Blythe will remain several days
hnre and then go on to Arizona.
