thing new and different.
There is an unusual number of fea-

HISTORIC OLD FARM
Major Stevens at Old Family Home
stead in Belgrade.

Maj. G. T. Stevens of Augusta is at
the old farm in Belgrade where he was
horn.
The farm has been in the Stevens
family lie pears. The fifth generation
is now living on the farm. The great
grandfather of Don. C. Stevens, who
now owns the farm. settled there in
1896.
William Stevens the original occu-
pant, while paying up for the farm
rode from Belgrade to Boston twice
on horseback. That was at that time
the most rapid and convenient mode
of locomotion. Steam cars, electric
cars, automobiles and flying machines
were not then in fashion. Belgrade
was Their known as Washington PLAN
tation.
cloa Clark Smith. the maternal
grandmother of the Major, who moved
from Hallewell said she was not afraid
herself to live UP there in, the woods.
but that she was afraid that the bears
would catch the children.
Tradition says that this Cloa Clark
Smith was the first white female child
born in the territory of ancient Halo
well, which included the city of Au-
gusta: and that Elias Taylor was the
first white male child born in that
territory. Both Cloa and Elias are
buried not far apart in Woodside GEM
etery in Belgrade; and not far from
the grave of Peasley Morrill,, the
grandfather of Lot and Arson P.
Morrill,.
The sreat-grandfather of Samuel
Tito emb Of Augusta is also inferred in
that yard.

JAPANESE lRE-FLlEs.
In oIden Days Served as Oriental
Student Lamps.

In Japan, fire-fiies are more thar
mere beetles. They are Cupid's light
to guide lovers. souls of ancient sol
diers. the devils snare to tempt wan
derers to death. In their light OF
magic gold with a tint of emerald
green. the japanese see stars of hope,
sorrows of broken hearts, the ever
lasting spirits of warriors, but most
of all the joys of love and lovers.
Whenever they see the glimmering
faint green light of fire-fiies lowering
over the stream running into the dark
ness of night the Japanese dream OF
love and loving hearts. The light OF
fire. flies is the guide of lovers going
along the narrow paths through the
ricefield on dark nights to meet their
sweethearts. ~
The Japanese fire-f1ies are much
larger and give brighter and more
steady light than those seen in Europe
or America. In old days many poor
Japanese students, unable to buy c;In-
dies, were wont TO gather fire-fiies in a
bag and read their books by their
light. The Hotaru-kago Cire-fly cage,
made of fine laces, placed on the We
randa or hung among the trees in the
garden gives almost as bright light
as the large stone lantern. but much
more quaint and dreamy.
Fire-fiies are plentiful everywhere
in Japan. They are not at all afraid
of human beings, and will often alight
upon the dress, and even on the hair
or hands. 1t is not seldom that fire.
flies fly into ones pockets or sleeves.
During the daytime fire-fiies sleep
under the shelter of grasses near
streams or ponds. In this state they
are terribly ugly. But as soon as the
sun sinks beyond the western hills and
the evening darkness begins to gath
err they wake from slumber and light

Murree's Open Air Theater.

Augusta theatrical patrons are show
ing great delight in the program which
Manager Murree offers at his Open All
Theatre for the remainder of the week.
The offering this week has thus Tar
certainly made tremendous hit con-
sisting as it does of two top-notch
vaudeville acts and 1000 feet of high
class moving pictures. The most nota-
BILE attraction of the vaudeville Offer
ings is the act presented by the Great
Nello, who is assisted by Madame
Nello. These two persons offer the
public an opportunity to see one of the
best Juggling acts of today. and some
of the tricks which Nello does are real
ly marvellous. Pryor and Addison are
also proving a big card with a novel
singing and talking act. They are sure
to win the good graces of the Augusta
people

EvADES A DIRECT

TRUSTEE DECLINES TO HEAR
PLEA AS TO THE CONSTR
TIONALiTY.
SAME QUESTION IN CHANCERY
Holds That Since the Same Issues
Have Been Made In the Court of
Equity That They Should Be Hsard
and Decided There.
Fridays Daily.)

Trustee McFall evaded a decision
upon the constitutionality of the back
assessment laws in the hearing this
morning before him in the cases of
Jetton, revenue agent, against How
ard and Carpenter and Jetton. reve-
nue. agent, against Howard, executor
of Howard. He sustained a plea filed
by the back tax attorneys to the ef-
feet that the plea of the aunconstitu-
tionality. of the act should not be
heard by the trustee since the same
questions had been raised and were
pending in the same suits In the chan
Gerry court. This view Of the situa-
ton was taken by the trustee and
the plea of the back tax atotrneyts sus-
tanned. This decision pretermitted
any opinion from the trustee upon the
constitutionality of the law
The hearing took place before
Trustee McFall in the county court
room this morning and the speeches
were made for the defendants by e..
Fl. and C. P. Hatcher and for the back
tax or revenue agent by Col. Thos.
H. PEBBLES and W. J. fowler The ar
gument was brief and Immediately at
its conclusion the trustee held brief
conference with his deputy, w. Har-
ris Puryear, and announced that he
would sustain the plea against hear
ing the question OF the constitution,
atty Of the act.
Mr.. Hatcher then moved that the
case be remanded again to the chan
Gerry court for a hearing upon the
plea raising the question Of the un-
constitutionality Of the assessment
law. This motion was also argued
but was overruled by the trustee who
will proceed to hear the case.
A great deal Of interest was mani
tested In the hearing as It had gener-
ally been expected that the trustee
would pass directly on the plea
against the constitutionality of the
back tax law. However, the back tax
attorneys cleverly avoided decision
on this phase by filing their plea to
the consideration Of the same on the
ground that similar questions had
been raised in the suits in the chan
Gerry court.
