CROPS SAVED BY
B0UNTiFUL RAIN

A thrice welcome rain, or two or
three of them rather, fell all over
the western, northern and eastern
portions of Randolph county Satur-
day and Sunday. In the northern
and eastern portions the rain was
very heavy and proved to be the
salvation of the dry and burning
crops in the different localities. A
good rain fell in Pocahontas, but
was much lighter than in other por-
tions of the county. To the south
and southeast it is reported that the
rain was very light in fact in some
places there was none at all. In
different portions of the state and
in other states more or less rainfall
is reported, but no general rains
anywhere.

AGRICULTURAL BOOKS
FOR HIGH SCHOOL

Through the efforts of John R.
Kizer, agent for the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture and Hon. W.
A. Oldfeld, congressman from this
district, the Government has pre-
sented the Pocahontas High School
p 20-volume set of books on agrl-
culture. These books are nicely
bound in half morocco and would
probably have cost 500 or more
had they been purchased outright.
The books have been installed in
the school library by Prof. Spikes
and this present from the govern
ment will doubtless be long remem'
bered by the patrons and pupils OF
the school.

lightning struck barn belonging
TO j. c.. Cantwell of this place and
destroyed the same together with
100 bushels of corn, 1000 pounds

barn to keep ont of the rain and
when the lightning struck he was
stunned to such an extent that he
was insensible for some moments,
When he revived he ran out and
gave the alarm, but it was too late
to save anything. The barn and
contents were total loss.

Little Bruce B. SissOn

1t Is with sadness Of heart that
we ehromcle the death eDruce
Barnum, the little year-old son of
Mr.. and Mrs. b. f. Sisson, which
sad event occurred at the family
home in Richwoods, ten miles south

of last week. The little one had
been i'll for some time with that foe

tum. The remains were placed in
the Sanders cemetery Friday, the
funeral services being beautifully
conducted by Rev. d. M. Holder.
The little ones parents are promi-
nent teachers of Randolph county
and have, for several years, been
faithful correspondents to the Star
Herald from Richwoods, and their
letters have been read and appreci-
ated, not only by the editor of this
paper, but by the people all over
Randolph county. This little boy
was the grandson of Lieut.. w. b.
Sisson and DR.. J. II. Holmes, both
recently deceased.
We extend our sincere sympathy
to Mr.. and Mrs Sisson and bid
them look beyond the sin and sor-
row of this world to the land where
angels dwell and where their own
little one is waiting to welcome
them to Gods eternal home where
parting is no more and where sick
ness and sorrow never comes.

"And yet, that's not exactly the
worlds fault. When people haven't
anything else to walk by, they have
to walk by sight" she hesitated a
little there, feeling for the words she
wanted. "It was so easy" she went
on at last, ito clear you of the thing
they thought you did yesterday.
Couldn't you give them chance to
believe the truth about the other
thing too? There must be something

That involuntary admission told her

At the sound of it, he drew himself
up, towering, before her. and, So be-
came visible to her-a monstrous,
blurred. uncertain shape
And she cried out; this time in ter

upon her and kill her with his hands,
as his british instinct of rage urged
him to do, he started back suddenly,
and himself cried out!
For faint circle of light, waving,
wandering, unearthy, was shining
straight down upon both Of them

Looking up. he saw overhead a
single, great luminous eye, and in the
reflection of its own light upon the

stretched wings.
Then from up there, overhead he
heard yoice-a quiet voice, "Pm

not fear, helped restore to equilibrium
his mind. which moment before had
been tottering to absolute destruction.
Once he could get back to his boat
and feel the oars under his hands
again-once he found himself pulling
out toward the yacht, no matter how
desperate the odds awaiting him there
might be against him, he would, he
felt, be himself once more.

but he finally realized that he had
passed the place where he had brought
the boat ashore.

LAWYERS FEES IN GERMANY
They Are Fixed by Law and the At
torney Can Charge Neither
More Nor Less.

Lawyers In Germany cannot adver.
tise, and their fees are fixed by law.
according to Dr. Hermann Haeussler,
rechtsanwalt, of Berlin, Germany, who
is at the New Willard. A rechtsanwalt
is an attorney at law and counselor
combined.
THE German law fixes the exact
fees which a German attorney has to
claim for all kinds of professional
work, and the rechtsanwalt can charge
neither more nor less. These fees are
fixed whether the cases are criminal or
come under the civil code. The amount
depends exclusively on the value OF
the object Of contention or the charac-
ter of the crime 1t is an old, though
still unfulfilled, wish of German law
yers to have a new fixed list of fees,
not made after the old low standard
of the year 1878, but with considera-
ton to the changes-numerous and de-
cided-which have taken place since
that year.
"The rechtsanwalt can never be a
business man, as may the lawyer In
the United States. The practice of the
law is not considered calling or pro-
fession. but is essentially a public Of
fice.
According to the code Of 1878. a
lawyer is charged with certain public
duties. He is obliged to have his resi-
dence In the town or district whence
appointed. Further. he must conduct
himself In and out of ONCE In :. man

cial standing--a duty devo.ving upon
his rank. A lawyer is forbidden to ad

etc. or to buy or take over a practices
