NO ICE FAMINE

GAMBLE.

While other towns are sweltering

has been fortunate in having a suf-
ticient supply of this hot weather ne
cessity It was rumored this morn
Ing that there was an ice famine i'm
minent and that Saturday would find
the town without a sufficient supply
Of ice to meet the demands of the
residents.
A talk with Mr.. Gamble soon put
this fright to route. He stated that
the factory had been forced to shut
down Thursday for only very short
time on account of lack of fuel,
hut the factory was now running on
full time, and an ample supply was
On hand. When the fuel was ex.
hausted the out of town shipments
We're suspended and the customers in
the city were taken care of, and Mr..
Gamble said there need be no fears,
that first of all the Columbia people
will be supplied and that there is no
prospect of shortage in the supply.

HORSE GOES OVER
BLUFF INTO RIVER
NEAR COUNTY JAIL
HAS A FALL OF SEvENTY-FlVE
FEET INTO WATER WITHOUT
SERIOUS INJURY.
WAS BLIND and COULDN'T Land
Rescued by Llveryman w. B. Davis
Who Climbed Onto a Tree and
Haltered the Excited Animal as 1t
Swan by In Search Of Landing.

A horse belonging to Robert Davis,
who lives on the Mt. Pleasant pike,
fell into Duck river Thursday after
noon near the county jail, and the
getting of the animal out aroused
some excitement along the river In
that section.
The animal, which Is blind, was
placed in lot at the residence OF B.
w. Ferguson, who lives short dis
tance east of the Jail. In some man.
ner the horse went over the rock
fence separating the lot from the riv-
er bank. The bank at this place Is
30 steep that once over the fence
there is no staying out of the river,
and the horse fell a distance of sew
enty-five feet into the water.
He was first seen swimming up
and down the river near the bridge,
trying to get up the bank, and but
for the resourcefulness of b. w. Da-
Wis, the North Main street livery
man, it would most likely have been
drowned. Mr.. Davis climbed out on
the tops of one of the trees and
caught the animal as it swan by and
tied rope around it's neck making
. halter and drew it into the bank
Just below the bridge where by hero
&c efforts it was brought up the bank
and again to safety.
The horse was considerably IA
tigued by its experience, and could
not have lasted much longer under
the strain, though it appeared not to
be very much injured after an oppor-
tunity to rest an hour or SO.

daily discounting the assertion that
the silent man had seen his best days

At Kalamazoo last week he ac-
complished a most wonderful feat
and made record so far as Is known
heretofore unequalled. He marked
Bergen in 2:06A; Anvil in 2:06h;
Dude Archdale, 2:05A. Never has
any driver marked three trotters in

looking much stronger than it did at

OBJECT
CATTLE DIPPING
TICK ERADlCATORS MEET WITH
RESISTANCE IN MISSiS-
SIPPl.

JACKSON, Miss, July 81 The
inspectors of the live stock sanitary
board, in charge of the eradication
OF the cattle tick and of the dipping
in arsenic solution as prescribed by
the veterinarians, are frequently
confronted by difficulties in the car
rying on of this important work.
The most frequently recurring is the
obstreperous resistance on the part
of certain cattle owners, who see no
good in the dipping, and who deny
the auohtrity of either the state or
federal government to prescribe such
treatment.
Jim Barnhill, Noxubee county
farmer, living near Macon, resisted
the orders so strenuously and block
ed the progress of the eradication
work so effectively as to incur a
criminal charge, sworn out by In
spector Showers. Mr.. Barnhill had
never dipped any Of his cattle and
declared most positively that he
would not; that the cattle were his
own and he would do with them as
he pleased, regardless. Conviction
followed his arraignment, and he
was taxed with the costs and placed
under $500 bond to dip his cattle
twice, ere carrying out his threat to
sell and send them out of the coun-
ty. According to the Macon Beacon,
Mr.. Barnhill is reported to be of the
opinion that the whole thing is
wrong, and the law created to har-
ass the poor man. He declares that
the ticks can never be gotten rid of
in the way they are going about it,
and TIT the whole system is wrong
and repressive and harassing to the
poor man; that the country must
first be rid of rabbits and other wild
or subject them to the dip
ping solution.

many people put off ordering
cards until the last few days be-
fore Christmas, when it is too late
to fill the order in time. Suppose
you examine your supply of cards
and give your order this month
You will then have the cards en-
hand when you need them.
We would suggest, in this con-

The remarkable successes of the
Greeks against the forces of Turkey
may be in part explained by the mill
tary skill of their leader, Crown Prince
Constantine; also must be taken into
account their Unborn hatred of the
Turk and the remembrance of past
cruelties. Like their Balkan allies. the
hope Of driving the Turk across the
Bosporus and forever Kidding Europe
Of the Mohammedans as a political fac
tor has animated them In their advance
against the forces Of the sultan.
Crown Prince Constantine, duke of
Sparta, received his military training
in Germany and is an accomplished
soldier. A few years ago he was de-
prived of his command of the Grecian
army by the Vaccinations of a mill
tary junta which disliked his ideas Of
discipline. Constantine had arranged
to enter the service Of the Russian
car when the national legislature at
Athens restored him to power.
He resumed his place at the head of
the army with increased prestige and
influence and has reawakened in the
Hellenes that heroism that enabled
them to win their independence from
the Turks nearly a century ago. The
crown prince is married to Princess
Sophia of Prussia. sister of the kaiser.
whom she offended years ago by be-
coming a convert to the Greek nation
al church. Constantine's mother is
daughter of Grand Duke Constantine
Of Russia. He is ffty-four years old.
