MERCHANTS HOPE
TO BEAT MEASURE
Hot Fight Expected in Council
- Over Removal of Show
Gases.

Broad street merchants are prepar-
ing to swoop down in a veritable most
upon the members of the common
council when the latter meet for the
final session of the term MONDAY
night. The merchants nave peeh
.nurred to unusual effort by the en-
dorsement OF an ordinance requiring
the removal of all show cases on
Broad street, and accordingly they
intend to fght toot hand nail for the
rejection of the measure by council,
or. failing in this. to secure at least
a tabling of the ordinance.
If the latter course 10 pursued. the
merchants will be almost content.
Placing the ordinance on the table
will mean that 1t must hold over unfil
the new council 10 seated. Then II
will have to be brought up all over
again. and again traverse the tedious
route through the necessary commits

1t is understood that the resigna-
ton will in all probability be accepted
In fact, DR.. Smith stated after the
service that this feature Of the mat
ter had ben already arranged with
officers of the church. X Will be up

Or. Smiths resignation was couch

DR.. Smith came to the Second Bap-

ing his passionate, has come to be re-
garded as a model Of its kind. In
rendering hts resignation, Or. Smith
gave as his reason that he believed he
had been In Richmond long enough
and he thought II was time he was
making a change,
No Differences Prevail.
Members of the church. as we'll as
DR.. Smith, declare that no disagree
ments or differences of opinion have
ever come between him and the con-
gregatiop. Ii Is true that the ques-
ton of allowing anti-saloon field dav
exercises in the church caused some
agitation several months ago but it is
declared that this in no wise affected
the relations OF Or. Smith TO his flock.
DR.. Smith will take a vacation dur
ing the month Of August and II is his
expectation to enter upon his duties
at Chapel Hin the early part of Sep
tom Der SO as TO he in thorough touch
with the situation before college
opens.
DR.. Smith filed charges in Lynch
burg, Nashville and st. Louis before
coming to Richmond. He was born
and reared in Gordon county, Ga.

church here is Rev. DIR. r. J. willing

A DOG IN THE SKY.

Tibetan Explanation Of the Cause OF
an Eclipse.
Every one has heard of the Chinese
myth explaining an eclipse and the
enormous dragon that stalks through
the sky seeking to devour the sun.
But the Tibetan legend Is a little diff
ferent and very interesting as describ-
ed by Sven Hedin IN his "Trans-Hima-
laya." After describing the eclipse
and the terror and depression with
which 1t was received he says:
Then 1 visited Hlaje Tsering with

MeteOrs,

There is one very interesting fact
connected with meteors that have
struck the earth. Hundreds of them
have been examined and found to con-
tain animal remains-that is, the very
lowest forms of life. This indicates
that they are parts of a world that
burst into fragments long, long ago.
What a thought-a world broken up
and scattered through space! Maybe
we had another moon once, but that
broke into pieces and these are the
pieces, and maybe they are parts of
the planet that once revolved between
Mars and Jupiter. Over 500 of the
larger pieces of this planet have been
discovered and catalogued. One of
these few away inside of Mars orbit.
Why may not many of the smaller
pieces and these solid meteors be they ?

Tho Way to Float.

This is the advice of an old swimmer
to those who cannot swim: ANY hui
man being who will have the presence
of mind to clasp the hands behind his
back and turn the face toward the
zenith may float at ease and in perfect
safety in tolerably still water. When
you first find yourself in deep water
you have only to consider yourself an
empty pitcher. Let your mouth and
nose and not the top Of your heavy
head be the highest part of you and
you are safe. But thrust up one OF
your bony hands and down you go,
turning up the handle tips over the
pitcher" There are reason and logic

MAN AND THE RAT.
The Long BattIs Between These Two
Conquering Forces.


Conquerins Forces.
The dominion Of man over the beasts
of the field does not yet include the
rodents. Aurochs. cave bear and NAM
moth we put down with stone headed
arrows. We have wiped out the buff
falo. The lion and the elephant will
soon be gone. But still the rabbit of
Australia cost the colonies millions a
year. Traps. ferrets and poison still
fail to make Roadway against the rats,
mice and gophers of the United States.
While our animal enemies have be-
come smaller in size, they have grown
more numerous. 1t is as II nature
after trying vainly to chastise her in
surgent son with a catapult had gone
after him with a shotgun.
The fact is that of all warm blooded
creatures there are just two that are
really dominant. successful, increasing
in numbers and range and able to
maintain themselves anywhere in the
world against all rivals. These two
are man and the rats. The genus
homo and genus mus go everywhere
and eat everything. They are the two
creatures that dwell in houses and
travel in ships. Each drives its other
rivals to the wall. but neither except
locally and for brief periods has ever
come near to exterminating the other.
Civilized man has fought the common
rat for 200 years. and the battle is
