CLYDE TROP BADLY BURNED
And His Wife Suffers Nervous
Shock In Fire Which Destroys
Their Apartments.

The apartments occupied by Mr..
and Mrs. Clyde Trop over Brunner's
Shoe Shop, we're badly damaged by fire
early Friday morning. Mr.. Trop
suffered severe burns on the arms and
legs and Mrs. Trop, who was i'll, sus-
tanned a severe nervous shock
The fire started shortly after six
O'Clock. MIR. Trop had gone to the
kitchen and generated the gass on the
gasoline stove. In doing this he had
allowed some gasoline to run on the
lower part of the stove and in generat-
ing the gas 1t was lighted. He picked
up the gasoline can and walked passed
the stove and the flames from the
burning gasoline on the stove caused
the gasoline in the can to explode,
igniting his clothes. He ran through
the house and rolled over on the floor
in an effort to extinguish his clothes.
He finally succeeded in doing this and
then picked up his wife who was sick
! in bed and carried her to the home of
Aaron Small.
The furniture of Mr.. and Mrs Trop
was almost completely destroyed by
the fire and the water They carried
no insurance and their loss amounts
to about $500. The damage to the
building was considerable. This loss
was covered by insurance.
A pet dog of the Trop's was with
Mr.. Trop when his clothes caught on
fire and ran after him scratching at
his burning clothes and suffered such
bad burns that it died.
The burns of Mr.. Trop are rapidly
healing and Mrs. Trop has almost
recovered from her nervous shock.

FINE HORSES.
Are the 40 Head Imported by DR..
Brown and Col. Ayers Which
Arrived Here Sunday.

The horses purchased by DR.. ii. NJ.
Brown for himself and Col. Ayers in
Belgium and France arrived here
Sunday morning and their unloading
was watched by large crowd of inter
ested people.
The horses are certainly fine look
ing lot Of animals, consisting Of 80
mares and 10 stations. % of the
mares and 5 stallsons are Belgians and
; mares and stations Percherons.
Every one is fine specimen of the
best strains Of the pure blooded ami
mails Of these famous lines and 20were
gold medal prize winners in the big
shows of Belgium and France which
Is conclusive proof that they are a.
mong the best of their kind in the
world.
The mares are weanlings, yearlings
and two year olds and the stations
weanlings, yearling, two year olds and
older.
One mare died from exposure on the
railroad.
DIR. Brown secured three stablemen
while abroad 10 care for the horses
coming over and to look after them
while here. They are all expert horse
men with wide experiences. The
boss stableman Is Peter B. Glasgow, a
Scotchman. His assistant is Robert
Copin, Englishman and the third is a
Belgian.
The horses are at the old White
Line Livery Barn and old Kramer
House Stable.
Everybody who has seen the horses
appreciate at once that they are un-
usually fine animals. All Of them are
subject TO sale without reservation
although DR.. Brown and Col. Ayres
expect to keep some of them for their
own use.
This Is a rare opportunity for the
people of Highland county to secure
good horses OF the best breed for their
use and the fact that so many mares
and stations have been imported
should cause this county in few
years TO be stocked with the grade OF
Belgian and Percheron horses, which
are the best in the world.

plants have a greater affinity for some
of the elements needed for its growth
than others, hence, the value
rotation: the soil sometimes becomesf
"sOured" and 1t must be made sweet
by the application of lime; of all
crops the tobacco crop is hardest on
the soil.
Tile future of Dairy Farming" by
Mr.. Bailey was next on the program.
A great many of our dairymen over
the country he said, are losing money
each year because they have not
learned how to feed economically; as
much or more money can be made
from the cows in the winter as sum-
mer; milk is the most perfect food
known, and it is the only food that
will sustain life; dairy farming
belongs to small farmers, as they are
better able TO give attention to thei
herds and the products derived there
from.
The Saturday afternoon session
opened with music by the orchestra
which was followed by talk on "Soil
Tillage" by Mr.. Brown The first
requisite he said is good, natural
drainage the mechanical condition
of the soil materially influences culti-
vation and the humus in the soil af-
fects the character of the cultivation
to be done. Cultivate until the soil
is well pulverized and after the crops
are planted keep the surface well stir
red so as to retain the soil moisture.
Mr.. Bailey's concluding address was
I Rotation of Crops for Hilly Land
He said it requires lot Of energy and
hard work to make a success of any
business, but the man who has hilly
farm can make it productive by prop
er rotation of his crops. 1t is best to
/ follow a three.year rotation as 1t thus
prevents the land from washing. The
farmer should give the cultivation OF
his hilly land thorough study, as he
is the only one that will know what is
best to do and he should not be con.
tent until good income is assured.
The next number on the program
was an address by Prof. w. II, Vance,
Of Hillsboro, on "The Training of
Boys and Girls"
Prof. Vance although yet young
man, showed remarkable ability in
the handling of this subject. The
mental pictures drawn by him seemed
real and the thoughts conveyed made
lasting impression on those who
heard him.
This was followed by the concluding
number on the program Literature
in the Home" by Prof. J. G. Vance,
one of Whiteoak townships progress
i've teachers. The Prof. handled his
subject in masterly/way and i'm
pressed his audience With the necess-
ity of more care in the selection Of the
literature for their home than they
do.
The officers elected for the follow
ing year were President, l.. +.

Reciprocity in the Senate

The Chicago Tribune has boiled the Senate, and it finds that the reel procity bill can be passed without amendment with more than thirty votes to spare. It finds 23 republi- cans and 33 democrats who will sup port the bill as it passed the House. The only democrats who are listed against the bill are Mr Bailey and the two sugar democrats of Louisiana and possibly the two senators of Arkansas. What ails the Arkansas senators is not stated.
 There are, however, 25 republicans who will not support this administra- tion bill, and Kenyon of Iowa and Lorimer are listed as doubtful. In other words a small majority of the Senate republicans will oppose the bill that President Taft negotiated and is urging upon Congress, and it will have to be passed by democratic votes.
 The majority in favor of the meas ure is so large it will not be possible to defeat it by the Root or any other amendment. It will go through just as it was passed by the House. The democrats and the President are working hand in hand in this matter
 Some insurgents from the north west are opposed to the bill, but the republican opposition comes as rule from the standpat high protection brigade-from men like Burnham of New Hampshire, Dillingham; of Yer mont, Frye of Maine, Gallinger of New Hampshire, Hepburn of Idaho, Oliver of Pennsylvania, Page of Yer mont, Shoot of Utah, Sutherland of Utah and Warren of Wyoming. The old guard do not like tbe hill. It is an attack upon some tariff snap that some senator represents, or all of them, and they will vote against it.

HARRY KNIGHT, HERO

From the St. Louis Times.
 It will seem to good many people that the value of vigorous and perllous sports is demonstrated in $ peculiarly happy fashion by the case of Harry Knight, who lies in a hospital at Indian apolis as the result of his quick decision to imperil himself rather than infiict in- jury upon another.
 Knight was in the great 500-mile race recently conducted in Indianapolis, and during a moment i'll his rapid flight, when he might have been supposed to have only slight grip on any of his senses save those of sight and tough, he saw an injured man in the course ahead of him.
 He realized instantaneously that if he drove straight ahead he would kill the prostrate man; he kew also that if he swerved aside he would be out of the race, as the slightest loss that could come to him, and that he might very probably go down to death in the wreck age that would inevitably follow.
 Yet he turned aside, in the one instant given him for reflection, and injured him. self seriously. But the man in his path was saved.
 A species of sport that can develop this type of man, or which, amid countless distractions, does not interfere with the assertion of noble traits even in the mo- ment of highest tension, means something to the race.
 The bravery of Harry Knight might very properly be recognized by some spe- cial act. His services to the cause of mechanical progress have been of, the highest and most significant kind.

CENTENARY OF THACKERAY

no place in any ceremonies prescribed for Thackeray. There was nothing melodra- matic about the author of Vanity Fair and "The Newcomes." He did not cry on one side of his face whilst laughing on the other. Truth was the only cynic that guided his pen, yet how often tempered by charity And, he was a gentleman! London may not owe him as much as London owes to Dickens Granted; but London owes him all that England can owe great Englishman, and France might reckon him, along with Edward. the King of sunny memories as the most Parisian of Britons; for truly did Tit marsh know and love the life of the boulevards, ebbing and flowing between the Bastile and the Bois, the cafes and the theatres, himself most aptly described by his own lines:
 His and was free. his means was easy,
 finer nobler gent than he,
 Ne'er drove around the Shons Elysee.

Madero's Reception in Mexico City

Not even a considerable earthquake disaster few hours before could dampen the enthusiasm for him who had lifted from his country the tyranny and injustices of autocratic rule. Madero was everywhere hailed as the Deliverer as he rode to the national palace. The truth is, the peo- pie of Mexico are more intelligent than their submission to Diaz for thirty years would seem to indicate. They had become restive, and when Madero arose in rebellion they quick ly and almost unanimously, outside of the army and the office holders, de- serted Diaz and rallied to Madero.
 Madero declared in the capital city that the victory is the victory of lib- erty-liberty, that is to say, for all for the peon as well as for the great landed proprietors and mine owners. He stands pledged to long series of reformsy every one of which is needed in order to transform Mexico into a republic.
 Madero broadened his platform in the capital by declaring that none of his friends would feel satisfied until 
 democracy reigns supreme through out the continent" He has cut out good sized job, for in order to give democracy continental scope he would have to reform not only Latin-Ameri- ca but also plutocratic and monopo- listic rule in this country. There is no democracy in the election, for ex- ample of . senator by the Hines-Tl-

Opening of the Wool Debate

The revision of Schedule K has aroused the author of the Payne bill. When it was assailed in spots only Mr. Payne said nothing. When a whole schedule is revised, however, he starts up madder than a March hare.
 MT. Underwood is the floor leader of the revising democracy and he did not hesitate to hurl the naked truth at MT. Payne and MT. Mann. He openly declared the American wool trust was permitted for obvious req sons to frame Schedule K of the Payne tariff, thus enabling that great trust to exploit home consumers up to the tariff limit. Its earnings go into its own till and the country's revenue is in declining condition.
 These statements angered MT. Payne, who shouted across the aisle at the democratic leader, who pre- served his temper and sense of humor to the close of the days debate. MT. Underwood has made a good start and he will no doubt steer the ma jority of the House skillfully through the days of weary debate that are coming in hot summer.

Iunls' Rand Engaged

"rhe engagement of such large and expensive concert band as Innis' for the next State Fair marks a decided advance in popular attraction said a music lover 'The NaVassar band, made up en- tirely of women, which played at the fair last year and the year before. was an advance in the matter of music over former years, but Innis ranks with Sousa and other famous bandmasters. In many respects l prefer Innis to any of them Ii will be recalled that Innis gave series of six or seven concerts at the Jefferson theatre in the spring of 1908. While his programmes included great deal of light music, the classics were not over looked.

den route, or of President by means of Hanna slush fund contributed in Wall street.
 President De La Barra met Madero cordially. "A great deal" he said to Madero, "has been done, but there is much ahead of us. From the way in which you have been received in the capital I am confident that all will be accomplished that should be, and with the support of the popular element. " The popular element is coming into its own, and Madero will be elected on October by an immense majority of votes freely cast and honestly counted. Democracy may at any rate yet reign in Mexico as the result of very great and very important revo- lution which practically left Diaz without support.

IN EARLY GEORGIA DAYS
From the Macon Telegraph.

From the Macon Telegraph.
 Micajah Williamson kept licensed tay- ern in the town of Washington In front of this tavern was a large picture of George Washington hanging as swing ing sign. John Clarke (governor 1S19-29) used to come to town, and, like most men of his day, get drunk. They all did not "cut up," however, as he did on such occasions. He went into stores and smashed things generally, as tradition says, but he always came back and paid for them like 8 gentleman. Once he came into town intoxicated and galloped down Court street, and fired through the picture of General Washington before the tavern door. This was brought up against him later when he was a candidate for governor, but his friends denied it.
