CH|NA'S GREAT WALL
Wonder of World Is Literally Wall
of Blood.
For Twsney-one Centuries II Has Re-
maIned the Most Amazing Con-
structIon of Human Hands
Builders Name Cursed.

Pekin.-Best known by repute Of
all the wonders of the world. the great
wall of China has remained for 81
centuries the most amazing construc-
ton of human hands. Ruined and
broken as 1t Is, It Is clear at first
sight that the amount Of human labor
required to build this majestic barrier
is without parallel on earth. Fifteen
hundred miles long. with additional
loops that add another 1000 miles.
there were originally $4,000 watch
towers upon it.
The wall was built at the end of the
third century before Christ by the
first, and perhaps the greatest. of all
Chinese emperors. Che-Hwang-te.
prince Of Tsin. succeeded as a boy to
the throne Of comparatively small
kingdom and at once began to put
into a state of order and defence q
territory that long had been allowed
to degenerate into a mere prey to an
nual northern invaders. After a few
years the young king assumed the
style Of emperor end organized the
forces of what for the first time In
history was China. For he at once
gave to the whole Of this new empire
the name of his own small state. He
then marched out against the Tar.
tars, his hereditary and perennial
enemies in the north. After routing
these marauding pests he was re-
called for the usual oriental need Of

crushing out the seeds of rebellion 1t
home. II was probably in order that
he should not again find himself thus
between two enemies that he con-
ceived the gigantic defense Of which
the larger part remains to this day.
Undeterred by the magnitude Of
the task and the terrible loss of life
that its construction must involve,
Che-Hwang-te gave the word and the
huge structure slowly forged Its way
from many centers at once along the
entire northern boundary of what was
then the Chinese empire. Che-Hwang-
to enlisted the workers in many ways
and from many quarters. Some Of
his press gang work was hardly cred
table. for It IL on record that the
mere possession Of book condemned
the wretched owner to four years
hard labor on the wall.
But az the Chinese proverb has It:
The humiliation of one generation
has proved the salvation Of others"
and for many centuries the great wall
served its purpose well.
disappointment generally awaits
the mortal who has heard much
about some celebrated object and
does visit It: so seldom does tho
reality come up to expectation. But
the great wall Is not overrated. Be-
hold 1t by starlight or moonlight,
gaze on 1t In twilight or in sunlight;
view 1t through the haze Of a dust
fog. or the spindrift Of rain shower,
or between the flakes of a snowstorm,
ever Is the wall one great, gray,
gaunt. still specter Of the past, crest
ing the mountain peak or reposing In
the shady valley. So vast is 1t that
perhaps alone of all mans handiwork
It could be discerned from the moon.
So vast is 1t that were its materials
disposed around the earth at the
equator they would provide a wall
eight feet high and three feet thick.
When we reflect on the labor need
ed to erect 1t, we slowly divine the
toll exacted from countless thou
sands, the sweat and tears and blood
that must have been shed and we are
prepared to hear that after two mill
lennia the name of Che Is cursed all
along the wall by the descendants Of
those who were driven to the hateful
task, who labored in deathly fear lest
when flesh and blood failed to re-
spond to the taskmaster,s scourge.
flesh and blood should be hurled into
the mass of concrete to provide more
material for the all-devourins mon
ster. II is a wall of blood!

TELLS SHERIFF
NOT TO WORRY
Jesse Tino Kills Man Who Slurr-
ed His Wife, in Upper
End of County.

The Patterson siding between Wolf
Greek and Paint Rock was the scene
OF murder, Thursday at noon when
Warren Daniels was shot and instant
ly killed by Jesse Tino.
1t is said that the quarrel arose over
domestic differences and that there
had been a spirit of enmity between
the two men for some time.
Tino had been, away from home
here for week or more, and had been
looking after the remains of his brother,
who was killed in the Blceville mine
explosion.
When Tino returned to thej camp
last Monday he heard some things
which did not meet his approval. He
had formally had some difficulty with
Daniels about his wife, and there was
known bad feeling between them,
The shooting was precipitated about
noon, Wednesday when the two men
were at wCrk on the lumber yard, at
which time it is stated that Daniels
pulled photograph of Tino's wife
from his pocket, which he exhibited
together with a lock of the woman s
hair, and at the same time made a
slurring remark about 'her to Tino.
Tino fired as Daniels closed his sen:
tence, two bullets taking effect, one
through the heart and another lower
down in the body. Daniels died while
trying to extricate his gun from the
hood Of his overalls.
immediately after the shooting Tino
disappeared but sent word to Sheriff
Dawson, that he need not go to any
trouble toget him, as he would come
down to Newport at the proper time
and surrender. De )ut,y Sheriff Joe
Cureton visited the scene of the muir
der, Thursday and found the facts
about as above stated.

SusOng and John NJ. Jones.

The public sale of the 3. D. Jones &
j. G. Allen properties held Wednesday
afternoon, not. only attracted much
attention, but it resulted in some
peculiar changes in ownership of prop
critics.
As result of the sale the stock of
goods belonging to B. D. Jones & Son
will be moved to the store now occu-
pied by J. G.. Allen & Son and the
stock of goods owned by J. G. Allen Il
Son will be moved to the store now
occupied by B. D.. Jones & Son.
The bidding between the old part
ners, B. D. Jones and J. G. Allen for
the possession of the Main street prop
critics afforded much amusement to
the crowd which had gathered, and
which dropped out of the bidding
when it was seen that these two gen
tlemen were each determined to see
that the property brought something
like it's real value.
The store on the corner occupied by
J. G. Allen Il Son was first put on the
block and it was sold to Mr.. Jones fora
sum of S5,0l5. The n0xt store to be sold
was that one used as warehouse in
between the two stores, and II was sold
to Mr.. Jones tor S2l0c. The third
piece of property to be sold was the
B. D. Jones & Son store room, and it.
was sold to Mr.. Allen for $500. 49,
The fine lot on Church street, oppo-
site the Allen Monumental Works,
was sold to D. G. Allen for a. sum OF
s2l25, the price paid being especially
low in view Of the location.
The lots opposite the Baptitt church
were sold to J. A. Susong for $1,000,
which was also said to be exceedingly
cheap.
The lots on the hill in the rear Of
the property of Mrs. Or. Smith were
purchased by John NJ. Jones as private
sale and the big lot running along the
river, between the Mill property and
the Dennis & Fisher coal yards, was
sold to the Mill Company for $500.
Taking advantage of the crowd
