Bjornson and the Birds.

Bornson the Norwegian, poet loved
animals. In a lecture delivered by HIM
when abroad he said: "At home in Nor
way we do not murder any of our song
birds. Our children have for years banded
themselves together in clubs to protect
the birds nests, But what we gain by
this for our fields, gardens and woods is
as nothing in comparison with what we
gain for the education of our children in
weaving them from cruelty and making
them protectors OF the little birds. 1t
teaches them to control their feelings and
awakens enthusiasm for worthy causes.
Their love of destruction we change to
magnanimity. In Norway it is the school
that teaches children their duty to song
birds, and in the schools they form their
societies for bird protection. "-4aiDsaPS

Johnny's Three Buttons.

A Sunday School teacher was trying to
make clear to his class the fundamental
doctrines Of the Declaration of indie
pendence.
Now, boys" he said. 81 will give
you each three ordinary buttons Here
they are. You must think of the first
one as representing life, of the second
one as representing liberty, and of the
third one as representing the pursuit of
happiness. Next Sunday will ask you
each to produce the three buttons and tell
me what they represent
The following Sunday the teacher said
to the youngest member Now, Johnny,
produce your three buttons and tell me
what they stand for"

The Useful Killdeer.

The killdeer, if it is eaten at all in this
part of the country cannot stand in good
favor. There is never no talk of klldeer
hunting. They are not to be perceived
in the string of birds that the successful
hunter likes TO display. But there are
pathetic evidences to be noted on the
beaches that those ''sportsmen. who
shoot at anything living find in the kill
deer a target to their liking.
In a bulletin inst put out by the Agri-
cultural Department, it appears that this
beautiful, if somewhat unmusical bird,
renders very efficient service to mankind
1t preys upon the mosquito larvae The
diving beetle, great enemy of the fish
hatcheries and destructive to fish food.
is rare tit-bit very much to the taste Of
the killdeer. He is an industrious hunter
of the crayfish which are nuisance
where the marsh land is dyked He
follows the pillow of the farmer and picks
up the grubs, cut worms, leaf beetles and
other pests of agriculture He eats little
or no vegetable food, and probably then,
as in the case of the quail, only if he
can find no insects. -Etchdnge.

County Man and Family Have
Close Call Near City When
Machine Goes in Ditch
AUTO WAS BADLY DAMAGED
In Attempting to Give Road to
Team of Horses Driver Lost
Control of His Machine

An automobile accident in which
Mr.. J. l.. Shaner and family, who re-
side on the Greenville road about
three miles south of Staunton, had a
narrow escape from more serious in
jury occurred yesterday morning
shortly after ten o'clock on the Way
nesboro road, just below the Federal
Cemetery. That Mrs. Shaner came
out of it with slight bruise to her
shoulder and the children with ouly
a few scratches seems remarkabl.' in
view of the extensive damage suffer-
ed by the automobile. None of the
others were hurt at all.
The machine, Ford touring car
which Mr.. Shaner had purchased
about six weeks ago, was occupied by
his wife, his sister-in-law, Miss Ada
Hiseman, and his three children,
Boyd, Frank and Martin Shaner. Mr..
Shaner was at the wheel. The party
was bound for Mrs. Shaner's old
home near Crimora and it was while
attempting to pass a horse-drawn
vehicle, coming towards town, that
he lost control of his machine, up
setting the car at the side of the
road.
The occupants were very fortunate
in escaping with slight injuries. The
automobile, however, suffered rather
severe damage to its top, windshield
lamps radiator, mud-guards, right
front wheel and front axle.
Several men, whose names Mr.
Shaner did not learn, very kindly
came to his assistance, he'll ing him
right the automobile and get it in
sufficiently good shape to start bach
to town. They brought the mem
bers of his family to the Rest Room
while he took the damaged car to the
Central Garage.

DRUGGIST PLANS TO
ENLARGE HIS STORE

Folks who have watched the steady
growth of business ON the northeast
corner of Main and Augusta streets,
will not be surprised to learn that
Mr.. Thomas HOgshead has been fore
ed to enlarge his quarters and, as
soon a..ar the first of the year as
weather conditions will permit, will
extend his display room, taking IN
the store space adjoining him on the
east and at present occupied by Davis
& Holt.
Starting in the drug business 81
years ago as package boy for the
firm of P. T. Allen& Brother, Mr..
Hogshead has from the beginning
been live wire in business circles
as we'll as one of the towns most
public spirited citizens. In this in
stance he is not only preparing to
surround himself with greater floor
space but, in accordance with his es-
tablished custom to do nothing by
halves, will set about to give Staun-
ton one of the handsomest drug
stores in the State.
A contract has already been let
to Mr.. C. w. Lambert to remove the
dividing wall between the two rooms
put in handsome front, install a
new Innovation soda fount and ex-
pensive fixtures or mahogany at a
cost of from $4,000 to $4,000. The
work will require something over
thirty days to complete and no ex.
pense will be spared to make it mo.
dern and up-to-date in every particu'
lar. The combined rooms will give
front of 80 feet and depth of 81
feet. The present paint room, in the
rear, will probably be used again fol
this purpose but the floor will bt
lowered to a level with that OF thu
main store. On Augusta street side
an elegant plate glass window, II
feet in length, will serve to displa.
the high grade toilet preparation
and sundries of every kind for whicl
this store is noted. A line of fin
candies will also be added.
| For years his present quarter
have sorely cramped rapidly in
creasing business and news of hi
store-room extension will be gener
ally welcomed.

CROSS COUNTRY FLYER
IN SERIOUS SMASHUP

Middletown, N. Y, Sept. 18.-Af-
ter making good progress on the first
day of his attempt to fly from the
Atlantic to the Pacific, Aviator G. H.
Rodgers came to grief here today,
and probably will be unable to start
efore tomorrow. The planes of his
machine were wrecked, but the en-
CINE was not damaged, and the ma
chine can be rebuilt before tonight
probably. The aviator suffered a
Slight injury to his left ankle.
Rodgers was up bright and early,
and at o'clock this morning was
inspecting his machine. twenty-five
minutes later his engine ratified. and
he ran along the ground for $50 feet
before taking to the air. He then
rose twenty feet, just missing stone
fence, and sailed 500 yards, when
his right plane struck a hickory tree
in a Fulton street back yard. The
plane doubled and Rodgers and his
machine tumbled down through the
branches.
In falling Rodgers managed to
throw himself clear of the engine,
but was pinned down by the planes of
the machine, injuring his ankle. When
this wound was dressed Rodgers i'm
mediately began the building of the
machine with extra parts carried for
such an emergency, and declared the
accident would prove only slight
delay.
After going over the wreck care
fully, Rodgers said he didn't believe
he would be able to start again be-
fore Wednesday, as the new parts
will not reach here before tomorrow
afternoon.
After the wrecked machine was re-
moved, it was found there had been
a fatality-large white rooster had
been pinned under the plane and
killed.

TO PURSUE CRIMINAL
DESPITE GIRLS PLEA

Hendersonville, N. c., Sept. 49,
Unwilling to accept the explanations
of witnesses so far heard, Coroner
w. R. Kirk today determined that
the secret of the death of Myrtle
Hawkins, whose body was found in
Lake Osceola, should not remain
concealed, despite her note express
ing a wish that the author of her
trouble be protected.
DR.. Kirk is determined that the
name of the man responsible for the
girls condition, which led to the
fatal operation, shall be known,
and he declared today that he would
not be deferred by the sad letter left
by the young woman, in which she
sought to shield the man and relieve
him, at least partially, of responsible
ility.
Though ten witnesses were ex-
anlined, only confusion resulted. 1t
was fairly well established that Miss
Hawkins died under the effects of an
anesthetic, and that her body was
thrown into the lake to conceal her
fate. Half dozen prominent per-
sons were reported to have been in
volved in the final acts of the ira
gedy.
The pitiful letter from the girl was
found by her sister, and read as fol-
lows:
Dear Mother-I promised daddy to
write and tell you of my misfortune,
but l have not the face to tell you
the name of the man who is re-
sponsible for it. He is not entirely
to blame. however, for he has done
all that lie could to help me, and
VIII continue to do so. am going
away SO that I will not be any more
trouble to you. Tell them that /
have gone to Atlas. Good-by.
The Alta referred to was a girl
friend living at Durham, N. C. The
coroner believes that after this letter
was written the girl placed herself in
the hands of the man who she said
would continue" to do all he could
for her, and that while an operation
was being performed under his direc-
ton, she died. The coroner said he
would examine numerous other wit
nesses.

NEGRO ASSAULTS WOMAN
AFTER KILLING ESCORT
Florida Community Stirred By
Outrage There on Sunday

Jacksonville, Fla, Sept. 18.-Ci-
cero Thompson, carpenter, aged
forty-five, was killed and a woman
companion, who he was accompany
ing home, was criminally assaulted
by an unidentified negro at Ortego,
a suburb of this city, yesterday.
1t is feared that lynching will fol-
low the arrest unless the authorities
can spirit the negro to jail without
giving the alarm.
The white &C. had taken the last
car home and were accosted by the
negro about half a mile from the car
line. Without preliminaries the ne
gro fired point blank at Thompson,
killing him instantly, one bullet go
ing through the brain and the second
near the heart. The woman stood
terror stricken and was next attack
ed by the negro, who choked her into
Inconsistencies before accomplish
ing his fiendish deed.
The locality where the crime was
committed is sparsely settled and no
one heard the shots or the screams
at the time. The woman finally re-
gained consciousness and sought out
some neighbors and the alarm was
given. Immediately posse was
formed and the woods in the vicinity
have been secured, without result.
