YET THEY RIDE
IN AUTOMOBILES
HERE'S A STORY THAT DOESN'T
READ EXACTLY TINT WAY,
But 1T Is SUGGESTIVE.
(Frorn the Courier-Journal)

In a New York periodical a Knox
vile man who says he has studied the
subject for several years declares
that a $4,000 automobile costs $1,000
a year. counting repairs and deprcci-
alton. and asserts that the automobile
Is not practical for persons of nod
crate means unless the definition of
moderate means is a liberal one.
The Atlanta journal, published in
the somewhat plutocratic metropolis
of a State that is not a camp ground
of ~plutocrats, takes another view OF
the situation.
We quote the Journal:
From Ware County comes fresh
and interesting evidence that motor
vehicles are to play an important part
in the country life of Georgia. In
that section there is a steady increase
in the number of farmers who own
automobiles and who use them regu-
larly for business as we'll as for recre-
alton. This is not peculiar to a
wealthy class Of planters, but applies
broadly TO people of thrift and aver
age prosperity.
Just such a tendency is manifest
throughout the State. 1t is said that
the majority of State automobile Ii
censes issued since last anuar l
have gone to small towns and rural
districts, and in hundreds OF farm
yards gasoline has become a familiar
spirit Of the air.
THE increase of automobiles in the
country has gone hand in hand with
the Development of good roads each
proving a stimulus to the other. Not
many years ago the use of motor We
hicleS would have been lmpractlcahle
in most of our rural territory. simply
because OF the condition of public
highways. Horses and mules, wagons
and buggies managed somehow to get
Oyer tho rntC and nl1aproirpS RDr
rubber tires and more or less delicate
m~echaniSmS demanded a reasonably
smooth surface. 1t has been one or
the great missions OF the automobile
to impress upon the community at
large the vital need of good roads.
To be sure. that need has always ex-
listed and the county that has ignored
il has suffered in It's agricultural and
commercial interests. But we nave
not realized until recently just how
practical and how fa~r-reaching is the
value of a well-built and well-kept
highway. The fact that this truth is
so ~strikingly evident today is due IN
a large measure to the wonderful in
| crease in the use of motor vehicles"
Georgia m are persons OF
moderate means within the meaning
given to the term by the salaried
class. They must find motoring less
expensive than it is found by the
Knoxville investigator. But what is
Of greater Importance is that the
motoring of farmers of moderate
means brings them to a realization OF
the Importance of good roads. and
good roads increase their earnings
sufficiently to admit Of their SuPplant-
ing the buggy With a motor runabout
and the four-Seated carriage with a
five-seated touring car. If motor Te-
hicIcs aid in general IA improve
ment they will probably prove eco
monica to man, rural motorists. and
they will also benefit other ruralists
who need better roads 10 reduce the

Mr.. and Mrs. .. r. Brzuchaiski

Of young folks had planned to
surprise them. At q very early
hour they chose their partners and
went in the room that was soon
ready for them and started the
ball to rolling. It only rolled the
hours by too fast for the merry
crowd. At a late hour they de-
parted for their homes. AS they
left they thanked the host for the
evening and declared they sure en-
ioyed themselves greatly and hope
to meet again soon. A Guest.

Praises for North Race

Winnipeg, Manitoba, November
2e.-Members of the Winnipeg Hit
torial Society received. a letter
this week which has created much
interest. 1t was from ". ~Stefanson,
the Arctic explorer, and it describ-
ed how this intrepid traveller Of the
Far North had lived with a race
OF Eskimos who had never seen a
white man. Stafanson said they
were more admirable In charact-
er and in department than civiliz-
ed people generally are.
Some time ago a letter reached
New York telling something OF
these Eskimos, and now the ex-
plorer, who has been gone over
two years, supplies additional de-
tails in a letter written June Q.
this year at Langton Bay, in a cor
ner OF Franklin Bay. OF the SOC
Eskimos, 200 had never seen 9
white man. None Of these Eskimos
had guns, and three-fourths oil
them had never heard the report
Of a gun

In the year preceding his letter
He covered 200 miles on dog sleds
carrying home loads OF caribou
and other animals killed. He and

Bsastie Gave Details

Richmond, Va, Dec. 1.-The Rich
mopd News-Leader here today
prints the outline Of what IL said
to have been . detsuled and pri-
vste confession left by Henry Clay
Beattie jr, for the perusal OF his
family alone. II IL stated that one
Of the detectives who worked on
the case was permitted to see the
confession, which IL more circum-
stantial than that made public the
day Beattie was put to death.
According to this alleged con-
fession Besttie decided two weeks
before the crime was committed to
kill his wife. The details Of the
murder coincide almost precise
ly with the throry of the case set
out by the state at the trial.
Beattie induced his cousin Paul,
to buy the gun and hide It behind
a stump on the Midlothian Turn
pike. He Is said to have stated
that he shot his wife full In the
face as she was stepping from his
motor car and that she fell back
ward into the road.
Beattie denied that he first knock
ed his wife down. That story gave
him "much annoyance, implying
~cowardice.n Beattie is also said TO
have denied that he sat on his
wife's body during the wild drive
into Richmond. He 10 said to have
asserted that his marriage was
comparatively loveless and was
forced on him by his fathers earn

The United States lighthouse
Lily sunk Friday for the third time
on one trip, which Is without ques-
ton a record In the Mississippi
Valley for steady and continuous
sinking.
Inasmuch as the point where the
Lily Is now resting on the sand of
the bottom OF the Missouri is forty
miles above the rivers mouth II 10
believed by many that this record
will be considerably bettered by
the time the boat reaches st. Louis.
After placing river lights along
the Missouri, the Lily made an
other trip to inspect them. II vas
on the return trip downstream
that the Lily's troubles began.
AS she neared Wellington on Oc-
tober II the Lily began bucking
and finally, with a gurgle OF un-
rest, sought the bottom. After two
weeks hard work and n great deal
OF expense, the boat was raised
and again started for st. Louis.
All went well until Hermann was
sighted. Then the Lily repeated
her performance. The water was
low, there were a few available
snags around loose and the Lily
again became for the nonce a SUBJ
marine. II took nearly two weeks
to again raise her.
