DITCH DIGGING WITH DYNAMITE
Demonstration to be Made at
Taft March II.

The Dupont Powder Co will give
unique demonstration of ditch
digging with dynamite at Taft or
Tuesday, March 2l. Such an exhib,
ition has never been seen in this
part of the country before and out
side of the practical, business side
the demonstration, as a spectacular
event, is we'll worth seeing.
This demonstration will be giver
: on the lands of the Williamsburg
Land Improvement company and,
through the courtesy of Superin'
tenden. Andrews, the G & w Rail.
road will have a special train at
Lanes on the morning of March Il
and free transportation to the scene
of the demonstration will be given,
provided enough people will go to
warrant the trip. In order to ascer-
tain whether or not enough men are
interested to make this trip all who
want to go wall at once send their
names to The Record, so that there
will be time enough to notify MI
Andrews. At least 25 men should
agree to go and there will be room
for 100. Understand, there will be
no strings tied to the proposition.
The Dupont Powder company claims
to have devised a method to revo'
lutionize such farming industries as
ditch digging, stump pulling etc, by
means OF dynamite. To harness this
giant force to thus do the work OF
man is tremendous advance in the
way of industrial science and this
company offers to prove its claim
to the satisfaction of all persons in
terested.
Remember the date-Tuesday.
March 21-and send US your name.
1t will not cost you a cent.

Il Did Not Servo the Purpose Fer
Which II Was Made.


Lord Southey once in a fit Of dis
gust with life had magnificent
guillotine erected in the drawing
room of his magnifcently appoint
ed house in the Rue de Lnxem-
bourg, at Paris. The mlackine was
an elaborate affair, with ebony up
rights inlaid with gold and silver.
The framework was carved with
great artistic skill, and the knife, OF
immense weight and falling at the
touch of spring, was of ornamen-
tai steel, polished and as sharp as
a razor.
The spring which liberated the
knife was placed within easy reach
of any one kneeling upon the scaf-
fold. In fact, every detail was ar
ranged with view to the conven-
fence of the would be suicide. The
day that the engine Of death was
entirely finished Lord Southey COM
pleted his testameptary DISPOSE
tions, shaved, had his hair cut and,
clothed in a robe of white silk,
knelt upon the platform under the
knife.
The guinotine was placed before
large mirror, wherein the person
committing suicide could see his
own image until the last. Murmur-
ing a short prayer, Lord Southey
placed his head in the semicircle
and pressed the spring.
The next morning he was found
calmly sleeping in his bed. The
spring had failed to work, and after
several fruitless efforts Lord South
ey was compelled to relinquish his
attempt upon his life. Thoroughly
cured of his spleen, he presented
the guillotine to the Glasgow mu-
scum, whence he made an annual
pilgrimage to see it until the end
Of his life. .-...-
