tigation proposed by Mr.. Browning S
bill as clearing the atmosphere and
reestablishing the institution III the
confidence of the people from which
it seems to have departed lately.
The trustees have held conferences
onthe subject Of favoring or oppos-

LITTLE MOUNTAIN
GETS GREAT PRAISE.
Prof. Hand Tells of the Public Spr-
it of the People There in Build
ing Their School.

W. H. Hand, high school lnspec-
tor, says the State, paid a high tr1b-
ute to the Little Mountain school IN
Newberry county. He said:
''Little Mountain in Newberry
county furnishes one Of the most
remarkable examples Of the value OF
determination and cooperation IN
school matters that I have ever seen.
That little village has nearly com
pleted a school building that would
be a credit to any town or city IN
the State.
"The building has six class rooms
and an auditorium. When completed
it will be worth $500, and Will rep
resent a little more than one-tenth
of all the taxable property IN the
place. This building was awarded
the first prize by the School improve
ment Association at the recent meet
ing in Columbia.
"What this village has so Wiling
" done for its school ought to put
some Of the larger towns, and some
Of the cites, to shame. The old bund-
inc which was torn down to make
room for the new one was oy no
means first class, but it was as good
as some in places unconcerned about
new ones.
1T might be we'll to add that Int
tie Mountain did not build a new
school house by cutting down teach
ers' salaries; in fact, the salaries OF
three of her four teachers were IN
creased this year."

Waldron..RichardSon.

Nesmith, May 2:-On Wednesday
evening, April 27, the writer was
present at a beautiful marriage at
Union church, near Rome postoffice,
the contracting parties being Miss
Sadie Waldron and Capt Joseph h
Richardson. The time appointed for
the ceremony was s o'clock p m, but
owing to the inclement weather the
bridal party was somewhat delayed,
, and when they arrived they found
|okhe church very nearly filled with
sctators eagerly awaiting the in
yting event.
e wedding march was very
4tifully rendered on the organ
BIy Miss--Fair and the bridal
party entered in the following order:
Mr. F L Eaddy with Miss Minnie
Marshall; Mr. Robert Waldron with
Miss Annie Richardson; Mr. L E Creel
with Miss Fannie Marshall and Mr.

as best man, while the bride entered
with her sister, Miss Ida Waldron,
the maid of honor. The ceremony
was performed by the Rev T ] Clyde.
Messrs Sam Waldron and Charlie

Immediately after the ceremony
the bridal party, along with quite
a number of friends, repaired to the
home of Mr. Joseph W Waldron of
RHEIMS, brother of the bride, where
refreshments were served.
Aing a mere man" it is utterly
impossible for the writer to even
attempt to describe the costumes of
le bride and bridesmaid. Suffice
" say that they were both very
tastily and becomingly attired.
Quite number of valuable and
useful presents were received, which
attest the popularity of the happy
young couple.
Mrs Richardson, as Miss Sadie,
has large circle of friends, while
Capt Richardson is young man of
many fine qualities, with a host of
friends who wish for him and his
young bride all the joy and pleas
ure of a long and happy welded

Care of Tires.

Now that some automobiles are
laying up their cars for the winter,
information as to the proper care of
tires during this period is timely. The
following advice is being spread
broadcast by the Firestone -
First, jack up car of all tires and
allow enough air to escape to release
the internal pressure on the fabric,
but not enough to totally collapse the
inner tube. The tires in this condi-
ton should be kept from heat and
wrapped to exclude the light. If the
tires are in perfect condition this
will suffice, otherwise observe the
following directions g.
Take off the tires, clean outside
carefully, removing all dirt, oil,
grease and foreign material. Do not
allow water to get inside the casing.
II any Of the cuts penetrate to the
fabric have the tire inspected by a
competent repair man and repaired or
retreaded as deemed advisable Wrap
each casing and tube in paper or
cloth to keep away light and air and
store tires in a cool dark place. Clean
all rust off the inside of rims and poll
ish with graf1te or stove polish to
prevent further rust. M.MmM

Farmers Build Electric Railroad.

Joplin, Mo.-The farmers OF South
western Missouri are taking kindly
to the idea of popular ownership of
public utilities. I'm fact, they are
building their own electric railroad.
This road is to run from Springfield
to Joplin, with a branch line from
Mount Vernon to Pierce City, through
one OF the best sections of the State.
The entire line when constructed will
be 100 miles in length and 1t is to be
a real farmers railroad, according to
the plans OF its promoters.
It has been named the Jersey
route" a jersey COW having been
adopted as the official trade mark, and
all rolling stock and stationery will
bear the big cow on a coat of arms
There will be five freight locomotives,
one hundred freight cars, eight double
truck passenger coaches and sixteen
trailers.
The farmers along the proposed
route and the actual patrons OF the
road will take up the entire stock and
are planning to arrange the finances
OF the company so that there will
never be an opening for a corporation
of outside interests 70 secure control.
The plan was suggested by J. T..
Woodfill, a retired railroad man, who
now lives on a farm near Springfield
and devotes his time to perfecting
schemes for public improvements in
his section of the State.
Several attempts have been made to
promote an interurban line through
the territory which Is to be traversed
by the proposed Jersey route" along
the usual methods of electric railroad
promotion in rural districts, but all
have failed for the reason that they
could not interest the farmers in the
enterprise sufficiently to obtain the
required financial assistance.
Mr.. Woodfill, farmer and in close
touch with the farmers interests in
his section, undertook to show the
farmers what increased transporta-
ton facilities would would mean to
their property and was successful In
convincing them that 1t soon would
advance the value OF land within a
strip two miles in width by $4,000 a
mile along the road.
The farmers fell In with Woodfill' q
offer to put the deal through, and
after securing the right of way and a
subscription of $4,000 mile he in
duced a broker to look over the prop
osition and secure funds to construct
the road. Bonds are to draw eight
per cent. interest and run fifty years.
One feature OF the financing insisted
upon Is that no stock is to be given
away as bonus with the bonds, but
the purchasers of the common stock
will be given a form of bonus stock
convertible into coupon books that
can be used to pay freight and pas
senger fares, thus securing some bus
mess for the road before it is built
1t is estimated that there are 252,OOC
persons living in the territory tribu-
tary to the road, which is dairyine
and fruit growing community, and II
is expected that a great deal of bust
ness will be developed at points now
remote from transportation. The
proposed line taken in Paris Springs
where 1t is the intention to establish
health resort.
The plans for the road were first
launched six months ago and those in
terested already are sanguine enough
to predict its completion and oper-
alton by the middle Of next year.

The SCatepfllar Prophet.

Henry Hershey, of near Spring
Grove, predicts that we cam look for
cold spell or weather, with much
snow and ice from now until the lat
ter part of February. After that a
mild condition will prevail all through
March and the forepart of April, and
then another short snap of cold wealth
er before summer opens. .
He bases his calculations On the
large gray, wolly catepillars, which
can be seen crawling I'm the late fall
along public roads and railroad tracks,
and says that their condition in color
Is an almost fnfallible sign. This
year the catepillars are black from
the head beyond the middle, then they
are light in color for short distance
and end with a black spot over the
tail. Last year the black spot over
the tail was much larger, and sim
liar weather condition may be looked
for as last winter, with the exception
that the cold will not be DO prolonged
into the late spring. Y y4 g M

Academy Of Music.

Robert Hillard, one of the most dis
tinguiShed and successful OF our rep
resentative American stars, comes to
the Academy OF Music, Baltimore,
Christmas week, opening with a holt
day matinee next Monday, as well as
giving the usual Wednesday and Sat
urday matinees-in "A Fool There
Was" which created such trench
dous impression in Baltimore last sea-
son. The first nights audience at
the Liberty Theatre, New York, felt
that it had picked up live wire.
Next day the play was the big thea
trical topic, and for months the thea
tire was packed with audiences work
ed I'D to a high pitch of nervous ten
sion. Since then it has had ten rivals
in the theatres of New York and
Brooklyn, three rivals in Philadel-
phia and two in Chicago. Incidental
ly, it has established numerous new
box Office records.
The story depicts the downfall of a
big man-big socially, financially and
in the business world. a lurid crea-
ture, for whom one of her victims has
just killed himself on board ship, en-
snares him at the moment of sailing.
She is bewilderingly and subtly fas-
cinating in a Snakish way. She
crumples up the moral scruple of this
strong man, as IL ii were tissue. Down
to the depths she drags him, racked
by agonies Of remorse and self-abase-
ment Then comes the great dramatic
moment, when wife and child Loyalty
battle for his reclamation. All really
great plays sound the tragic note.
But there is much sweet sentiment in
this one; many flashes Of CHEEKY hui
NOR, many epigrams that snap and
sparkle 1t is play OF laughter and
tears, Of symbolism end sharp and
vivid contrasts.

Cool lin Midst Of Panic.

81 got out on the fire-escape and
had sense enough left not to jump
from the top landing. Everything
happened SO quickly that / couldn't
follow all of 1t, but think that some
of the girls must have been crowded
off the ladder by the crush behind
them
Fireman Brown, who turned in the
alarm, was at work directly opposite
the building, cleaning the windows Of
the engine house where he is station
ed He saw a girl rush out of the
factory into the street, screaming and
wringing her hands.
There's fire in there" she cried,
pointing back to the hallway she had
left. ...... ..mN
| Brown did not wait to ask any
questions. He turned in an alarm
and then dashed up the fire-escape.
Already he found 40 girls at the
| fourth story windows, some of them
so dazed with terror that they hadn't
| the wit to pull down the sashes and
climb out. Brown smashed in the
window and began pulling girls out
upon the fire-escape. He counted 40
that filed past him.
The floor was far from cleared, but
| the heat had then grown SO intense
| that the skin was beginning to scorch
on his face He pulled himself up TO
the window for last look in, but at
that moment gush OF red-streaked
smoke blinded and almost smothered
him, and he was forced to drop into
the lee of the wall.
1T was the most horrible thing 7
ever SEEN" he said afterward. the
girls were dropping from every win
dow. + never saw fire spread so
fast once it got started. Before we
could get the girls through the win
dows on the f1re-escapes the flames
were licking the wooden sashes."
| Fire Chief Ashley laid the response
bility for loss OF life on delay in
turning in an alarm. He says that
i've minutes were lost in trying to
fight the blazing gasoline with sand

utes had not been wasted he almost
