HEMINGWAY HAPPENINGS.
A. F. NJ. Lodge Hall Destroyed
Personal and Social Notes.

Hemingway, October I: - The
weather has been good for cotton
picking during the past week, and
the farmers of this section are sure
ly taking advantage of it.
We are sorry to learn that Mr.
John Hughes, who lives about two
miles from here, lost his kitchen by
fire one night last week.
In harmony with the other new
things of Hemingway, Mr. Arthur
Altman has a new daughter at his
home.
The Masonic hall of lndiantoTn
lodge was destroyed about two
weeks ago by fire; the members OF
the lodge held a called meeting Sat-
urday night and it is said that their
new hall will be on the third floor Of
the store of Messrs W G Heming-
way & Co, of this place. This lodge
held its meetings here number of
years ago, but it was in the old
building then used for a store,
which has since been torn down.
Messrs Henry, Ben and Clarence
Mercer, three skilled carpenters of
Sampit who have been working with
Mr. Manly Poston here, have gone
home for a few days.
We are glad to note that the
chaingang is now in this section, for
the roads around here surely need
work.
We have new depot agent here
now, Mr-Salters of Salters.
Mr. Higgins, of the firm of W c
Hemingway & Co, has moved into
his new home on Main street.

REBELS DRIVE MANCHUS FROM
 THRONE OF CHINESE EMPIRE
AUTOMOBILE PARTY GOES
 THROUGH ICE; FIVE DROWN

Young Foster and his companions met the girls and ,atfer driving about Trenton induced them to take Q ride Into the country.
 Young Foster tonight said the party left Trenton last night and went to a road house three. miles north of Tren- ton. While there some of the party, he said, had something to drink, but he himself took nothing. He did not know what time the party started back to Trenton. He was familiar with the road, he said, and knew the curve at the point where the accident occurred .As he reached the bend, he continued, the machine began to skid and he put on the brakes. The machine kept on, however. plunging over the bank, broke through the ice and was sub merged.
 Foster said he climbed out of the au- tomobile and got on top of the ice. He waited what he thought was three or four minutes, hoping to see the others come to the surface, but they did not. He got to the shore, he said, and ran to the road house and told what had happened. Both his hands and feet are frosted The automobile was lifted out of the water late this afternoon.
 Helen Mulvey, one of the victims, had been a resident of Trenton for the past year. The girl came here from New Haven after her brother Joseph Mulvey took up his residence in this city.

Washingto January 13.-(Speeial)- Following close upon the alarming statement made yesterday by Maj Gen. William IT. Carter before the House committee on military affairs, that 3oo,- GOO Japanese soldiers are now in Hawah ready to wrest that invaluable pos session from the United States, the war department today admitted that definite plans are now complete to equip and rush an entire division of troops, re- cruited to war strength. to those islands for permanent service.
 It was decided to send five regiments of infantry, each of 12 companies, re- cruited to 150 mem one regiment or cavalry, every troop at full strengthi one full regiment of field artillery; eigh companies of coast artillery, to be sep arated from the immobile army All are to be accompanied by the necessary sanitary force and under the command of major general.

vey of the coast from a naval point Of view, 1t being their purpose to ascer- tain precisely where an army could land.
 So anxious is the war department to prevent it's plans from becoming known that the statement has been con- tradicted that was made regarding the Japanese soldiers in Hawaii
 The entire infantry force alone will number 5000.
 General Carter expressed regret today that his statement had become public. It was made in confidence before the military committee, he said. Even a stenoghapher was barred from the room while he was giving his testi- meny. As to General Carter's oppor- tunity to obtain exact Knowledge. it is pointed out that up to IS months ago he was station in the Philippines. On his way home he paid visit to Hawaii.
 Illustrating the eagerness with which the war department is making ready for this emergency 1t is pointed out that within the past few days Gen. Leonard Wood has directed that a com pIete list showing the continuous term of service in Washington of all officers now here should be prepared and sent to him.
 It Is said that every officer who has been in Washington for more than four years win be transferred, many Of them going to Hawaii.
