Local High Wins.

On Friday, Nov. Is, the Grange
vile High School girls basket ball
team handed the girls of Vollmer an
overwhelming defeat that came unex-
pectedly to them. The Grangeville
girls are justified in priding them
Selves on their victory, inasmuch as
they were, by far, out-weighed and
outreached by the Vollmer girls, who
were certainly a husky bunch Of ball
players. The prospect for winning at
the Il time of the lineup was slim, but
the irangeville girls proved them
selves equal to the fight by their grit
and nerve, still fresh at the close Of
the game. Speed and team work Sc
cured fer our girls, during the first
half' three field baskets, one Of which
was the throw of Alice Brust and the
remaining two those Of Irene Parsons
In addition to these, two foul goals

The following is a clipping taken
from one Of the Richmond, Va, pa
pers and referred to a speech delivered
in that city by J. J. Pulse, who rep
resented the Idaho druggists at their
meeting held in that city. In it he
tells Of the wonders Of the Gem State
in rather fowery language:
Lift all Of New England and New
York bodily mile above the level Of
the sea, add 5000 feet to Mount
Washington and 1000 to Mount
Mitchell; throw in dozens of peaks
just as high, all punching holes in the
sky with their snowy peaks; pile up
everywhere hundreds on hundreds of
mountains from 10000 to 10000 feet
high; exaggerated 50-fold all the wild
notches, gorges and glens Of eastern
America and multiply them by scores;
send cataracks and cascades leaping
and foaming down thousand dizzy
precipices and channels; toss in pro-
niscuously parks larger than whole
states in the small mentioned east and
gardens of small area.
Statutes of gods, genni, gnomes,
titan centaurs and unnamed mon-
sters thousands Of feet high, hewn by
ages on ages of wind and wrilling wa
tiers; cap all mountains with everlast-
ing ice and snow and clothe their
shaggy sides with waving forests of
valuable timber; ill all the valleys to
the mountains feet with orchards and
gardens, vineyards and grain fields
bending beneath the fruitage, and dot
the horizon bounded by pasture lands
with focks and herds waist deep in
the very wantonness of plenty.

Warning.

The Christmas holidays are hard on
insurance companies.
Light, infamable decorations make
fires easy to start and easy to spread.
A match, an electrical defect may do it.
Watch the Christmas candles. The
decorations on the trees may be car
ried against them by air currents.
Make no changes in electric wiring
without consulting the electric light
company.
Do not decorate your Christmas
trees with paper, cotton or other in
fiamable material. Use metallic tin
sci and other non-infamable decora-
tions only, and set the tree securely
SO that the children in reaching for
things cannot tip it over.
Do not permit children to light or
relight the candles while parents are
not present. They frequently set fire
to their clothing. The tree itself will
burn when needles become dry.
Do not leave matches within reach
of children at holiday time. Candles
are meant to be lighted, and if the
children can get matches they will
experiment with them.
Every year many children are
burned to death by fire from Christ
mas candles.
Read your insurance policies and
see if they contain anything like this:
This entire policy unless otherwise
provided by agreement endorsed here.

BOy Meets Death.

Greenville, Aug. 26.-Belated re-
ports reached the city to-day concern
ing the accidental killing Friday af-
ternoon of one member of squirrel
hunting party near Merrittville, %
miles north of GreenVille court
house.
Lotion Turner, the grown son of q
highly respectable white farmer OF
Saluda township, and his first cousin,
Willie Best, who lives in Greenville,
went on the hunt early in the after
noon. Turner had a cartridge which
he had been unable to fire in dou-
ble-barrelled shotgun, having snap
ped some five or six times on it with
out effect. Best carried a single-bar-
relied shotgun and asked Turner to
let him see if he could fire the cart
ridge from the latter weapon. AS
the Best boy was closing the gun
breech upon the cartridge it explod-
ed. The load of shot took effect in
Loton's right eye, tearing away the
entire upper portion of the skull.
A verdict of accidental killing was
returned by the jury Of investiga-
ton.

Of lamp goods from New York to
Greenville, S. c., the Gilreath-Dur-

State commerce commission on the
ground that the published rate on
such goods from New York to At
lanta is s1.O5 per 100 pounds, and
thet the higher charge to Greenvllle
than to Atlanta is a violation OF the
long and short haul statute, as Green
vile is nearer New York by the fore
going routes than is Atlanta.
The fipscomb-Russell Company
of Greenville, enters a similar com
p]aint against the same defendants
for charging 60 cents per 100 pounds
on shipments of coffee from New

Seventy-five bales so far is the
weigher's count. Guess with fair
weather the count will be greatly in
creased this week.
Sunday about O'Clock, perhaps
3, some trimming sticks in the Hack
er Manufacturing Co.'s yard caught
on fire and was burning lively. The
hose was gotten out and attached
to the pipe from their tank. When
the water was turned on could not
do much with the fire. Their hose
had been carelessly handled and
holes in them from driving over them
until the pressure was all spent be-
fore the water reached the nozzle.
Then before the fire was extinguish-
ed the steam at the pump had to be
raised so as to get supply of water.
Tank was neglected and nearly
empty. Something loose about the
attention paid to these parts OF the
business. If this continues and
their works get on fire, will not be
able to put it out. This should be a
lesson to them; no use to lock the
door after the horse is stolen.
