and just how we'll she has succeeded
may be ascertained from the express
sions heard that it is one of the best
and most life-like of the portraits
ever painted for congress.
The painting is entirely unlike the
one whose place it took. The old
picture represented South Cardinals
son with long. black beard and made
him look quite old; the new one, on
the contrary, presents him as much
younger man, possibly not over 40 or
~ or 43, with no beard. The clear
ness of the eye, the large, massive
brow and the clean, clear-cut fea-
lures of oGv. Orr in the new picture
are points that are easily seen. Many
| favorable comments have been heard
regarding it, and only today when The
states correspondent went to the
capitol some of the official guides who
are on duty there said that large
number of tourists had stopped to
look at the picture since it was hung
and that many had expressed the
of work.
The old painting has not been cast
aside. but, on the contrary, Elliott
Woods, superintendent of the capitol
building and grounds, is carefully pre-
serving ii from decay in an upper
room in the capitol. This morning
when asked him if | might have per-
mission to inspect this old painting
in order to compare it with the new
one, he cheerfully complied and fur
nlshed me guide to the very dome of
the capitol. There, many feet from
the street blow, is snug little room
where Mr.. Woods keeps his old-time
treasures. Turning the key in the
big, rusty lock tn large wooden door
swung back and there, each clothed
with its own white suit of heavy COW
ering, were half a dozen or more pic
lures of former speakers. That of
Gov. Orr was with them Moving
many of them around the little room

had no difficulty in recognizing it as

try's great men.

GOV. ORR'S PORTRAIT in THE CAPITAL

Washington, Sept. 3O-Hanging
alongside those of John G. Carlisle,
Thomas b. Reed, Charles C. Crisp and
other former speakers of the national
house of representatives in tn capi-
tol is the handsome oil painting of
one of South Cardinals favorite and
much loved sons-James l.. Orr.
And to add to the interest in the new
painting is the fact that it was done

brite daughters-Miss Esther Ed
z 'onds of Columbia, who has already
ihade big name for herself in the
world of art
A year or two ago when the house
committee on library was directed TO
secure new paintings to take the place
of several old ones then hanging in
tn speakers lobby at the capitol,
and it became generally known that
the work was to be undertaken. there
was dmand from many persons to
be permitted to do it, But care had to
be used as 1t was not the financial
part of the matter in which the com
mittee and the people of the country
were interested in having new paint
ings of their former speakers made
to take the place of those which time
had begun to ruin, but to secure the
very best work that was possible
When the time came to award the
contracts the committee almost with
out, hesitation decided that when the
new picture of Gov Orr should be
painted the work should go to a
South Carolinan. Miss Edmonds un-

DIGESTION PROBLEM WITH
HORSES AND MOTORS

Articles from high authority,
published In the Automobile, "
read as follows:
"The ability of horse to exert a
drawbar pull on wagon is meas
ured by the sturdiness which comes
from stored muscular energy, but
traced back to the source it will be
found that the horses digestive or
gans must be in shape to assimilate
the food or fuel; the same is true of
motor.
High compression motors are
noted for their ability to assimilate
automobile gasoline. 1t being the
case that if the compression decreas-
es so will the mean effective pres
sure, and since the power depends
upon the mean effective pressure, it
naturally follows that any reduc-
tion in that factor is concomitant
the with an equal reduction in pow
er ability.
1t is admitted in every design
ing establishment that compression
has marked influence upon the
efficiency; in other words, the abil-
ity of the motor to assimilate. 1t is
also concluded that the essential
characteristic increases with in
creasing compression.
Were it not for the desire to
eliminate noise it would be quite
easy to improve the performance of
motors for then 1t would be pos
sible to use relatively large valves
and a considerable higher compress
sion than that of normal practice in
silent motors. In The search for
silence the valves are restricted as
to size, and the compression is re-
duced considerably, SO that the rate
of flame travel in the gas body is
relatively slow. II will be under
stood that if gas burns at a slow
rate the maximum pressure on the
piston will be perhaps 200 instead

Miss Knowles Lectures From
Special Train

Miss Nealie Knowles, daue hter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. C. G. Knowles Of
this city, Is now travelling through
Iowa and the neighboring states in
charge of the domestic science de.
partment of a special train equip
ped by the Iowa Agricultural col.
lege. The train recently visited
Fayette, Ia, and was given consid-
cradle notice in the newspapers OF
that city. The following is an ex-
tract from one of them:
"We attended the corn special
five years ago and the dairy and
oats special this winter and spring
and listened to as many speakers
on each train as possible, but Miss
Knowles, who accompanied the oats
special and addressed the girls on
domestic science, is not surpassed
by even Prof. Holden. Without
speaking loud, she could be heard
distinctly to tbs extreme rear of the
car; without talking fast she i'm
proved every second of her time
and poured forth steady stream of
information, couched in sentences
so lucid and clear that they could
be digested as fast as she pronoun-
ced them. Without cheap jokes,
vulgar stories or caustic remarks
she held her audience from start to
finish and the ladies and girls were
still listening intently when Miss
Rowan opened the car door and
gave her the nod that time was up.
The professor of oratory might not
pick her as a model, but to Our
minds she combines many of the
elements of the true orator in a re-
markable degree"

B. F. Bush was employed on the
Sam Bowen farm few miles south
of here and received monthly wage
of $40. Later he jumped into a sal

Boxrud Bros. store In this city.
The following is quoted from a
Twin City daily ipaper of April 8:
"B. F. Bush, president of the West
ern Maryland railway, has been Sc
lected to succeed George J.. Gould
as president of the Missouri Pacific
railway. The report involves the
rumor that his salary will be as high
as 500, 1000 annually" Mrs. Bush,
nee Miss Ida Hawkins, is sister of
Mrs. Stella Deneen of this city, and
previous to her marriage was a
teacher in the local high school.
Farmer boys of the vicinity and
clerks in the local stores should
