The iron age is commonly believed
to have begun in Africa or Asia. The
latest investigations prove that 1t was
latest Investigations prove that it was
not worked in Egypt until the ninth
century before the Christian era, or
in Lipya until 450 B. c., that the Semi
tes adopted it's use still later, and that
it has been known in Uganda only
within the last five or six centuries.
In China iron is mentioned in 400 =.
C. Bronze weapons were employed IN
China until 100 A. D., and in Japan
until 700 A. D.
The metallurgy of iron must have
originated in Central Europe, especi-
ally in Noricum, which approximately
represented modern Austria and Ba-
varia. Only at Hallstett and in Bos-
nia and Transylvania, from which
countries the Achaians and Dorians
are supposed to have migrated 10
Greece, are found evidences of gra-
dual introduction of iron, at first as
an ornament applied to the bronze,
which it ultimately displaced. Every
where else iron was introduced sud-
denly fact which implies foreign ORR
gin.
Meteoric iron was known in Egypt
in remote antiquity but no doubt it
was worked as flints were worked, by
cutting or chipping, and was not
smelted. In other words, it was the
metallurgy, not the knowledge Of
iron, that originated in Central Eu-
rope.

Date Fixed for December -.
Another Appeal.

The State

and whose case has become Of nation
al interests. was sentenced this morn
ing BY Judge Thomas S. Sease to b.
hanged by the neck until dead between
the hours of II noon and 4 o'clock p.
m on Friday, December %. The case
of Pink Franklin has been appealed
to the State supreme court and to the
United States supreme court upon
constitutional questions, both courts
affirming the circuit court that con-
yicted Franklin.
Jacob Moorer, of this city, and John
Adams, of Manning, Franklin's attor-
neys, made earnest pleas for new
trial before Judge Sease this morning,
The motion for the new trial was upon
the record and minutes of the trial
court and upon after-discoVered eVl-
dence Moorer introduced an affldav-
it of Tony Jerry, a witness for the
State in the original trial, who in the
affidavit stated that he gave untruth-
full testimony and that Franklin made
no statement to him that he was not
going to be arrested or that he saw
Franklin with a pistol.
Judge Sease oyerruled the motion
Of the defendants attorneys and or
dered Franklin to stand up in the
dock and receive his sentence.
The-judge stated that the day for the
execution was fixed in December, so
that Franklin's attorneys might, if
they so desired, appeal to the State su-
preme court, which meets in Columbia
in November. Moorer stated that they
would perfect the appeal and were
very hopeful Of victory.

The Song of the Night.

Bentztown Bard.
eye shall have a song, as in the
night when holy solemnity is kept;
and gladness of heart, as when one
goeth with a pipe to come into the
mountain Of the Lord, to the mighty
One of Israel."-Isaiah, 1929.
IL the solemn, holy sweetness of the
night,
In that hour Of rest and refuge from
the strife,
I shall hear a song Of beauty on the
lily lips of light,
A song across the hills of night and
life.
One upon the mountain with a pipe
shall go his way
And I shall hear the echoes of that
pipe until the day.
The battle goes against me in the
field,
And I'm weary with the struggle
and the care;
But over me the heavens lift shield
And wings Of holy refuge will be
there.
Enough for me that singing where
the stars have sung of old,
Enough the silver music on the harps
Of heavenly gold.
The shadows may surround US through
the day,
And hearts may ache with interludes
of pain;
But when the night has come on
wings of gray
The singing of the night shall cheer
again.
We shall not see the singer and his
voice We may not know,
But piping DER the mountains we
shall hear the music flow.
All, let them list to thunder of the tide
and JOY in blare of bugles in the
flight,
But give me from the starry heavens
wide
The song of mystice beauty in the
night.
The song of far-of wonder that We lis
ten to in sleep
AS voices of the shadows to our ears
of dreaming creep.
Dies the roaring of the spindles in the
mill,
Peace is folding all the weary day
to rest;
Tonight there shall be song, upon the
hill,
Tonight there shall be peace within
the brest.
A holy, solemn music, like strain Of
morning breeze,
It's lips shall kiss our tumult with its
tender melodies.

BETTER SERVICE WANTED

Chicken coupe bottoms" and
goose egg wheels" were descriptions
applied to the local street cars at the
meeting Of the members of the Com
mercial club on Monday evening for
discussion of the betterment of the
street car system In Richmond. There
were several who made complaint of
the filthy condition Of some of the
cars and these declared that if the
health department officers rode in any
OF the cars they would be neglecting
their duty unless they took action and
compelled the company to "clean up"
B. B. Johnson. during the Schillin-
ger administration member of the
board of works, led in the discussion
on the subject. He asked the club to
take up the matter of affording the

The foregoing appeal to the mer-
chants and public in general was
drafted at a meeting Of the executive
committee of the Fall Festival asso-
citation In its meeting on Monday eve
ming at the ONCE of Secretary W. w.
Keller. The meeting was attended by
all members and while nearly every
thing concerning the festival was
talked over. the committee was un-
able to reach any definite conclusion
in several respects az to its success.
That there will be deficit has been
known since early last week. when
rain interfered with the program be-
ing carried out until Friday. Yet just
what the deficit il the committee can
not tell as yet. One Of the commit
teemen said the association was like
a bankrupt hrm and had not had op-
portunity to discover all of its assets
and liabilities.
In order that the financial condition
of the association may be known as
soon AZ possible the committee desires
that all bills be filed At once with the
secretary or treasurer. While the liza
bilities of the association are not
known, because many bills are out
standing. neither are the assets defn-
itely known for various reasons Some
of the prize winners are turning their
awards back.
The appeal which the committee
makes to the public in general will un-
doubtedly be complied with by mer-
chants and the public generally. All
recognize that 1t was one Of the great
est advertising events the city ever
had. The executive committee will
hold meeting soon. It il probable
that at the next meeting something
more definite win be known about
the financial Affairs Of the association

vestigated by q council committee.
This matter was brought before coun-
ell last night on complaint of q west
side woman. who said that while the
children were waiting to enter the
school grounds they bothered people
living In the neighborhood of the
building. An unfavorable report to a
proposed ordinance making . public
express wagon stand on some vacant
lot In the business section of tho city
was submitted by special committee
Of which Bartel was chairman.
Mayor Zimmerman was not salts
fed with the report and he appointed
another committee consisting of
Councilmen Won Pein and Evans to
confer with the county commissioners
and ask them II the court house yard
could be used for this purpose. Coun-
Gilman Bartel objected. He said In
considering the matter It was found
that . public telephone would have
to be installed and q man hired to
answer the phone.

The sidewalks on East Main street
especially at Eighteenth and Main,

"When people havn't got enough
sense to flx their sidewalks the city
ought to force them to do 1t. We've
been letting the Main street side
walks 90 long enough, although We
force other people to put in cement
walks. Everybody that comes to
town goes down Maih street and We
should have good sidewalks there"
