WOODEN AWNINGS

rear end facing Fourth street a wood
en- awning about six feet, six inches
wide and about 40 faA- long: it is
supported by strong IRON frame with
iron braces, and there is NJ danger of
it falling from the snow O.. by climb
ing on it; it is needed to protect the
room underneath from the sumr,el
heat and from storms. We claim it
does not interfere with the fire de-
partment in case their services are
needed, and there is a wide stairwa;,
under this awning to the second floor.
and besides 40 feet south the awning
ends, and there is a window every 6
feet where the hose can be used both
up the stairway and at the windows
THE wooden awning on South
Fourth street on building No. 129 is
about feet wide and 40 feet long and
is practically the same as the above
described awning
We need these awnings very bad
in the summer to protect the lower
floors from the summer heat and sum
mer storms. We claim it will not in
terfere with the firemen if their SER
vices are needed, as there are stairs
under the awnings, and the awnings
are strong enough to hold the men in
case they should have to stand on
them. These awnings are a great pro-
lection from the southwest winds,
known as the Chinook, as they can
stand a storm when canvas awnings
would have to be rolled up.
1--WE have complied with the ordi-
nance and orders by taking the wood
en- awnings down on Main street, but
have left these, as they are near the
rear end of the buildings on a side
street, and the tenants earnestly re-
quested to have them remain.
'They are fully feet from the side
walk and no detriment to the public,
but are frequently used by the pub
lie during a rain for protection. For
the reasons above given, we pray your

ODD CHECK ON THE LORDS.

Bv coalition the liberals in the Bril-
fish parliament will probably be able
to command majority of 120. They
will therefore, have to pare their
measures to suit the demands of their
associates. 1t is not a bad situation,
as one of the best factors in condi-
ton such as exists in England is for
a wider deterfninative expression than
that which might be rendered by
single political group. 1t is certain
that whatever shall be done by the
liberals will be with a wider concur
renee than the members of their own
party.
The common center of action will be
the house of lords, and if the out
lined program is followed the attack
will take the double form of denying
the right of the lords to reject a bud
get by mere resolution and to limit
their veto in ordinary legislation. If
this program is followed out. it is ex-
pected that the result will be that af-
ter three vetoes by the house of lords
measure will automatically become
a law. This is an odd form of check
upon the upper house, and it will be
interesting to see how the proposal
will be received when the attempt is
actually made to so construct the sta

Young Man Finally Writes 1t on

CASTLE ROCK, Feb. 2-LlOyd G.
Marsh, young man well known in
this community, was arrested last ev-
ening for raising an order on the bank
from $3.50 to 1890. After receiving
the order from Mayor Robin, for
whom he had been working in a shin
gle camp, he apparently went to his
room at the Castle Rock hotel and
proceeded to raise the check. Pieces
of paper found in his room show that
he had been practicing on writing the
word thirty" which was written on

Weather Conditions.

An area of very high barometer COW
ers the country from the north Pacific
coast to the DakOtas, causing clear
weather over the Pacific northwest
and much colder weather over the
western portion of the United States,
except along and near the Pacific.
The low area has been forced south
easterly toward Texas and snow has
resulted in the middle Rocky mountain
states and rain in the west gulf states.

tinued fair weather tonight and Thurs

three saloons in rapid succession re-

Meantime the city marshal hunted

and the latter preferred complaint
locked up to await preliminary ex,

The work of raising the check was
poorly done.

If the year that has passed has been
record breaker in point of numbers,
it has also broken many records in
point of interest which it has aroused
Never before have so many different
groups been working for one common
end. At the present time, schools,
children's organizations, state legisla-
lures, municipal bodies, insurance
companies, fraternal organizations,
bill posters, laymen and doctors of
every creed and color are all banded
together in one effort to rid this
country of consumption.

HISTORY AND ROMANCE.

Now, what do you think of this?
Mrs. Charles Henriotin, addressing the
Highland Park Women's club at Chica-
go, said: Our history has no pictures
queness; it is the most dull and lin
tied history of any great nation and the
reason is that woman has been ignored
Woman makes history romantic and
interesting. Napoleon inspired the love
of women and their admiration, but you
cannot say so much of Washington.
Compare Josephine and Mrs. Washing
ton, and you can see how much the
feminine element was emphasized in
the former and forgotten in the life of
the Father of His Country"
If this comparison represents her
ideal of what history should be, then
Americans can be thankful that our
history does not meet with her approx
al. We are willing to let other nations
furnish material for best sellers" and
problem novels while our presidents
and statesmen continue to live the lives
of decent American citizens. Cleve-
lands description of the sequence of

rotary of Agriculture Wilson, in an ad-
dress before the Philadelphia Manufac
turers' club on last Wednesday evening

necessaries of life in the United States
today than in any other country in
the world it is certainly high time
that there should be a searching in
quiry or series of inquiries. if necessary
to determine why this is So 1t is hard
ly to be believed that in this new coun-
try which a quarter of a century ago
was looked to for a food surplus suffi
cient to supply whatever shortage
might develop in any other section of
the world, the Malthusian law is
now beginning to work. 1t is not be-
lievable that population in the United
i States is beginning to press hard on
the means of subsistence
The head of the Agricultural DEPART
ment has his theories to explain the
high trend of food prices, and it must
be admitted that he is in position to
take wide range view and to strike
balance between causes and effects.
He declares that the boys and girls of
the farms are being lured away to the
cities to the factories and the mines.

Sues Woman Lawyer.

Dalton, Ca, June 3.-Growing out
of the governments payment of
thousands of dollars to descendants
Of the Cherokee Indians, James R..
Bracket, of Murray county, Georgia,
to-day entered suit for $4,000
against Mrs. Belva A. Lockwood,
Washington's famous woman attor-
ney, alleging malicious abuse of
legal process" in having the plain
tiff arrested and placed in jail on the
charge of larceny after trust.
Mrs. Lockwood distributed the In
dian claim money at Rome, Ga, Sat-
urday last. Bracket, in behalf of his
family, received $1,000. He refused
to pay the commission claimed by
Mrs. Lockwood, as result of which
she caused his arrest and had him
taken to Rome for trial. Bracket
was released upon the plea that he
did not employ Mrs. Lockwood to
collect the claim. When served with
notice of suit, Mrs. Lockwood merely
said:
81 hope he will get his money for
his pains"
The hearing will be held next
April.

Storm Costs Lives and Property.

Washington, Ca, June 3.-Two ia
talities and property damage which
will exceed $4,000 are the results of
the terrific cyclone, accompanied by
hail and rain storm, which visited
Wilkes county late last night.
A pathway 100 yards wide was
made from one end of the county to
the other and whatever was in that
zone was swept away regardless of
any resistance it offered.
The greatest damage in Washing
ton occurred in the negro section
known as Freedmenville, where sew
eral houses were demolished and one
blown across wide street. The resi-
dences Of w. Barnett and T. G. Hell
mas suffered much damage, the lat
ter being taken completely off its
base and carried several feet while
portion Of the building was splin-
tered.
Farmers were hard hit by the ter
rife downpour of hail stones which
stripped young cotton and corn
plants to such an extent that re-
planting will be necessary.
The names of the dead at Freed
menville could not be learned to-
night.

Father and Son Held.

Lexington, June 3.-M. B. Buff
and Artie Buff, father and son, res
pectively, were given preliminary
hearing to-day before Magistrate
Thos. L. Harman upon the charge OF
assault and battery with intent to
kill, and bound over to the court of
general sessions upon $500 bond
each.
It is alleged in the indictment that
the elder Buff and his son fired upon
John H. Hendrix, while the two were
passing along the road on their way
home on the 25th of last March.
Each of them swore to-day that the
old man used a pistol while the son
used shot gun. None Of the party,
however, was injured.
All are prominent farmers of the
Hebron section, and M. B. Buff is
a Confederate soldier. The elder
Hendrix is an ex-county commission
er and leading church worker.
It is hardly probable that the case
will be reached at the coming term
of court, as the docket is very much
congested.

BrOrthers Drown.

Tampa, Fla, June 5.-Wh1le bath
ing in the Hillborough river near here
this morning, Victor Fabler, aged ~,
and his brother, Henry Fabler, 16
years old, lost their lives. Victor
was teaching his younger brother
how to swim and the latter had lost
the wings with which he was at
tempting to swim. Laughingly de-
claring that he would teach Henry
how to swim, the older brother
ducked the younger one, who clutch
ed him in a death grip so tight
as not to permit either party's re-
lease. A number Of people were
gathered on the shore of the river,
but the drowning occurred so quickly
as to preclude possibility Of rescue.

Is Drowned in Mill Pond.

Spartanburg, June 4.-Saying to
his companions on the bank, "Watch
here, I can dive" G. B. Prestwood,
a young man eighteen years of age
of the Whitney mill village jumped
into the Whitney mill pond this after
noon about 4 o'clock and was drown
ed.
The pond was dragged and his
body recovered an hour later. Coro-
ner Turner was notified and went at
once to hold the inquest.
Prestwood was a young man from
North Carolina. He went to Whit
ney mill to work about ten days ago.
The place where he was drowned
in the pond is the same spot where
Joe Searcey was drowned last year.
It is said that he was taken with
cramps. It is believed that cold
streams run through the Whitney
pond, isuing from springs, and that
when one strikes colder currents
they are stricken with cramps.

Negro Boy Drowned.

One negro boy was drowned, and
two others who had gone to his as
sistance, nearly lost their lives yester-
day afternoon while playing in the
pool Just below where the Southern
Railway crosses Gill's creek, about
four miles below the city. The boy
who lost his life was about 13 years
of age.
He was the son of Mondy Gynard,
a negro tenant on the place of ]. P.
Mccarthy. The body was recovered
about two hours after the accident.
Coroner Walker was notified and he
went out during the afternoon. He
did not hold an inquest.
The boy was playing in a pool
together with his brother and an
other negro boy. None could swim.
He walked out on sandbar and
stepped off into water over his head.
His brother and the other negro tried
to save him, and they, too, would
have drowned had it not been for
Henry Mack, an elder negro, who,
passing heard the screams and pull
ed them out. The water where the
negro was found was over 80 feet
deep.-Columbia State.

Mountain section, eight miles west OF

gallon copper still which was in full

Ions of beer and mash, ten fermen-
tiers and a quantity of jugs. The
copper still and worm and all con-
nections were destroyed. Two men
who were operating the plant, made
good their escape after being pursued
quite distance by the officers. The
officers were unable to recognize
either of the men.
This is the same neighborhood
where the officers were fired upon a
few weeks ago, resulting in the kill
ing Of horse.

Louis Brooks, son of Armitage
Brooks, to-day.
Brooks, about 10 years old, was
passing the home of James Richard
son, who is the uncle of the Wall boy,
when the latter ran out with a 22-
calibre pistol, pointed it at young
Brooks and fired, the ball lodging In
the feshy part of the thigh. Wall no
