ANEWEpucArloNAL ENTERPRISE

The board of Directors OF the
Southern Bureau of Education met
recently in Nashville to receive bids
from competing towns for the loca-
ton of the 100000 industrial
school for the poor white boys and
girls of the South. The plan is to
locate at some suitable point in the
South a school that will offer the
opportunity for an education to
every white boy or girl willing to
work his or her way through the
institution. 1t is proposed to make
this institution the most complete
and most thorough of any in the
United States in the industrial
branches, in agriculture, horticulture
domestic science, and the like. The
site for the school must comprise at
least five thousand acres of land,
and at the meeting in Nashville last
week six bids which met this first re-
quirement were submitted, the COM
peting towns being Nashville and
Bristol, Tenn; Jasper, Ragland, and
McFall, Ala; and Fayetteville, N.
c. Ragland, Ala, was the site select
ed. The 100000 endowment, it is
announced, will be provided by
wealthy philanthropists from various
sections of the country.

MAKE Them LIGHT UP

That Staunton so far has escaped
with only a few serious automobile
accidents is due more to luck than to
anything else. 1t is trusting to luck
most too far, however, not to require
the motorists to light their lamps at
a proper time these fall evenings.
Last night as on the other nights
since the days have begun to grow
perceptibly shorter dozens of ma
chimes ran about the street with not
a sign of a light fore or aft, their
drivers taking long chances on avoid
ing collisions with other vehicles and
running down pedestrians. This
sort of thing is dangerous, and the
authorities should take steps to pro-
tect the people who are obliged to be
about on foot of an evening from
these careless motorists.
It is fairly dark now at GAS D. m.
Machines without lights ran on Main
street in the business section last
night as late as 1850 o'clock.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR

A young man is ashamed to tip a
waiter too little; an old man too
much.
Some men seem to be able to win
success simply by claiming they have.
It's much more important to tell a

is.
A woman has such an Imagination
she can make herself think she is
almost younger than her daughter.
What a man likes about going to

AGE OF ELECTRICITY

This may be truly called an cleo
trical age, for the recent bulletin is
sued by the census department on
this subject shows a most wonderful
growth in the past decade in the
utilization of electricity. An exchange
commenting upon the bulletin says:
During the period extending from
1899 to 1909 the value of machinery
and apparatus used in this country
for the generation and application of
electricity increased from $1O5,832,-
900 to s243,967, 900. With the intro
duction of electrical machinery new
nomenclature, with which the gener-
al public is only slowly becoming
familiar has been introduced. Dy-
namos, dynamotors, motor genera
tors and several scores of other
terms have made their appearance
in the later editions of the diction-
aries. The output of power motors,
which was only 1864 in 1899, had
reached up to 244,123 in 1909, an
increase of $50 yer cent during the
decade.
ga satisfactory storage battery for
motive uses has but recently been
put to use, but that the application
of this form of energy to practical
uses has at last been achieved is in
Dictated by the fact that whereas
storage batteries to the. value of
$3,679,000 were turned out in 1890,
the value of the output in 1909 was
$1O,612,0OO. The output of small
motors for automobiles, motor boats,
fans and various other special uses
has increased enormously

CHESAPEAKE AND OHIO

President George w. Stevens, OF
the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway
who has just returned from a West
ern trip, makes an announcement
full of interest. He states that by
Christmas the Cincinnati division OF
the road will be double-tracked and
when that is complete the road will
be one of two tracks from Cincinnati
to the deepwater terminus at New
port News.
The development of the Chesa-
peake and Ohio has been most re-
markable. To those who remember
the road when it was placed in the
hands of the late General William G.
Wickham as receiver what has been
done is simply marvellous. And, ac-
cording to current reports, what will
be accomplished will be more Won
derful still. Under George W. Ste
vens, as general manager and presl-
dent, the Chesapeake and Ohio's re-
cord has been one of progress

Contract LET FOR
new FIRE STATION
Work of Erection to be Started
at Once and Will be Com
pleted by December
fine BUILDING IS PLANNED
New Structure Will Cost $1,000
and Will House Automobile En-
CINE City Will Purchase

The contract for Staunton's new
fire station was let yesterday morn
ing to Mr.. Montague Payne, we'll
known contractor and builder of this
city, his price being $4,21G. This
does not include plumbing nor the
erection of a sixty foot steel tower
which will raise from the center and
to which the fire bell, now stationed
on the reservoir lot, will be moved.
The building will be of brick veneer
construction, two stories high, and
in floor plan fifty by sixty feet. Up
stairs will be the battery-room, stor-
age room, two bedrooms, Office,
baths, toilet and feed NOW. The
floor will be finished with four
foot wainscoating and hard plaster
ing. On the concrete floor down.
stairs there will be room for three
machines abreast, as against two in
the old fire house. The walls and
ceiling will be ceiled from wainscoat-
ing up.
The structure was designed by
Mr.. F. L. Yount and complete will
stand the city approximately $1,000.
The low brick building now standing
on the fire house lot, at the corner
of Baldwin street and Central av-
enue, will be torn down, the brick
cleaned and utilized in the new build
ing. The wooden stable will also be
removed, leaving a large level lot
which will be beautified with grass
and flowers when the building is
completed.
The three big front doors will open
on Baldwin street, as in the case OF
the former fire house, the building to
be set back on line with the Lewis
Street School and about midway be-
tween Central avenue and the
school yard fence.
Work will begin at once and it is
expected will be completed some time
in the early part of December. The
rews that the fire bell will be brought
down from the reservoir hill will
undoubtedly be received with salts
faction by many. On account of its
distance from the center of the town,
people in the business and eastern
residential sections have not found
it's present location altogether salts
factory. Difficulty in hearing the
alarm will no doubt be greatly OBJ
Waited by the change.
Specifications for the tower are
now in the hands ofseveral large con-
Germs who make a speciality of this
kind of construction and bids are
expected at an early date.

THE CITY BEAUTIFUL

The work which the Civic I'M
proyement Association has done, In
an effort to beautify the lots OF our
city, is not a fad, but is an earnest
effort to add tothe wealth ofthe city;
for beauty is an asset. 1t Is
an effort to add to the health OF the
CITY: for neatness and cleanliness
mean health. 1t is most gratifying
to them, the success which they have
met with in their effort. 1t is won
derful to see how the property that
is cared for appeals to us. We i'm
mediately think: How nice it would
be to own it and live in it. We in
stantly form an opinion favorable to
the occupant. We feel they must be
nice clearly people, with orderly and
industrious habits, and refined, cult
waited tastes.
WHY can we not make Staunton
the most beautiful city in this coun-
try?
We are particularly fortunate in
having the assistance of SO skilful
a man as DR.. Lambeth, who, for his
love of the beautiful, has been will
ing to give us the time necessary to
carefully consider all of the yards
We understand he has taken com
plete notes o mover sixty properties
that he considered worthy of con
sideration in that connection.
. DR.. Lambeth is a man of nationa
reputation, and the city, as we'll as
the Improvement Association, owes
him cordial thanks for his assistance
in this matter.

PLAGUE OF WASPS
WORRIES LONDON

London, Sept. 27.-England's pla-
que of wasps, the worst ever known,
is growing worse. While America
is "swatting" flies, Englishmen are
swatting wasps. So serious has the
situation become that in many Sec
lions of the country the services Of
the Boy Scouts have been enlisted
in the swatfest.
The wasps, fighting to the last
ditch, have, in some instances per-
formed extraordinary stunts. At
Kingston-on-Thames they compelled
a confectioner to close his shop for
five days, after thirty-one nests in
the vicinity had been raided. Be-
fore the wasps had been ousted from
the shop, they had destroyed $50
worth of stock. In the London sub
urb of Willesden, wasps held up the
street car service for more than an
hour. The motorman had been
stung by a whole swarm, and while
he was being treated and before a
substitute could be procured, his car
was stranded, blocking the entire
line.
One despairing fruit-grower offer
ed 25 cents for every nest destroyed
on his farm. The Boy Scouts, hear
| ing of the offer, earned $35 in three
days. The country of Bedfordshire
is suffering worst, 1000 wasps being
caught in two days on Lord Ampt-
hills estate. In Northamptonshire
5000 were caught in a week in one
provision store.

SURVIVES FIGHT TO
PERISH IN LYNCHINC
White Father of Mulatto Sons
Who Shot Officials Killed

Dumas, Ark, Sept. 27.-Breaking
into the county Jail here and over
towering officers in charge, a mob
of 100 men took Charles Malpass,
ST., white man, to water tank
and lynched him today.
The lynching followed battle
late yesterday at the home of NAL
pass, in which Sheriff w. D. Preston,
Deputy Sheriff Barney Stiel and two
mulatto sons of Ma1pass were killed
and Malpass was wounded.
Officers had gone to Malpass' home
to arrest the sons.
The wife of Charles Malpass, ST.,
a negress, and Malpass' younger son
escaped during the fighting.
When the posse headed by Preston
and Stiel approached the home of
Lee opened fire, killing the sheriff.
Stiel returned the fire, killing Lee,
and in turn Stiel was shot to death
by Charles. Another of the posse
then killed Charles. The father of
the two men killed was shot and
wounded when he ran from the
house. He was arrested and taken to
Jail.

CANADA REFUSES

cause that would have bettered their
condition through opening the great

politics. The trusts won yesterday
as they won so often in the United

will regard yesterdays election as

THE ANTITRUST LAW

During the last few years skilled
men have realized that under modern
conditions of instantaneous transfer
ence of thought and credit, and of
rapid production and transportation
of material things, vast aggrega-
tons of capital can produce more,
dollar for dollar, when operated
under one head and one intelligent
management, than when working
under many diverse ownerships.
For this purpose the highest tai
ent of legal skill has perfected the
joint stock company; the managers
of which have the greatest power
and the smallest amount of indivi-
dual responsibility of any people in
the world The smaller companies
have in turn been combined into
larger combinations until certain of
them in their aggregate of wealth
and power are equal to some of the
States of the Union.
1t is quite conceivable, from a
mere dollar-and-cent standpoint, that
the first effect of such combinations
may be beneficial to the country at
large. They can eliminate waste
and develop and reward efficiency;
but they inevitably put a great many
small men out of business; they may
at times dictate what the consumer
must pay; and they may at times
became menace to the Republic it.
self. Granting that such combina-
tons may be both efficient and
economical, and profitable to their
stockholders; the people of the coun-
try have made up their minds that
they would rather pay something
more, than to permit these dangers to
go on undated. Where we will
draw the line, and how much will we
have to pay, is the question. 1t
would be nothing less than a crime
to deprive the country of the advan-
tages which flows from modern in
dustrial methods and organizations.
1t yet remains to be seen whether the
antitrust law will destroy only what
should be destroyed, or whether It
will cast light over all Industrial
operations

Boys Violated Regulations of

Courted Expulsion
men SUMMARlY DISMISSED
School Authorities Say That Rules
Must be Upheld Though Action
Appears Drastic

The expulsion of eleven cadets
from the Staunton Military Academy
yesterday for "hazing" marks the
first case with which the school au-
thorities have had to deal this sea-
son and the peremptory dismissal of
the offenders will no doubt put
curb on the prohibited practice for
the rest of the year. At the open

the old boys were cautioned against
the very infraction of the rules which
has resulted in the Punishment of
eleven of their fellows.
A freshman named Ridgeway, from
Indiana, it seems was the cause of
the trouble. According to the boys,
he sent back an insulting message
when ordered to report for little
bed-making or WITHDRAWING duty
and then "snitched' to the authori-

Captain VIM. G.. Kable, however,

that they simply INDUCED in a form

Captain Kable also says he is deter
mined that every bit of hazing at the

more as are aboye the regulations in
