MANY CITIZENS ENDORSE AC-
TION OF BOARD OF
TRADE.

That there is sentiment in favor
OF the proposed High School building
for Columbia and Maury county is
made plain by the expressions of the
citizens of the town and county that
have been heard to discuss the prop
osition.
Tho committee appointed by the
Board of Trade at the last regular
monthly meeting has not done a great
deal of active work, but in quiet
way has questioned some of the bus
mess men and has not yet met a man
or firm of men that opposes it and in
fac. they all express themselves as
being heartily in favor of same.
Within the next few days the com.

EXPERIMENT STATION.
Suggestion Made That Academy
Grounds Be Used for That
Purpose,

Purpose.
To the Editor of The Herald:
| want to suggest a substitution
for your temporary slogan, "a $780,
100000 High School Building for Co.
lumbia." 1t is this, THE Columbia
Military Academy Buildings and
Grounds for a County High School
and Agricultural. Experiment Sta
ton" The general impression is
that Coils. Hardy and Edgerton will
not continue their school there after
this term, and before the trustees
make a long term lease to some one
else. let's all get together and make
a strong pull to have It permanently
used as above suggested. I know
there are some obstacles in the way
but | do not believe that they are in
surnountable. Let your city Board
of Trade. the county and city Boards
of E3Tcation take the lead at cnce.
and they will have immediate and
substantial support not only from the
people of Columbia, but also from cit
liens all over the county.
Respectfully,
I JONAS T. ANTS.

HUNDRED
LIVES LOST WHEN
THE TITANIC SINKS
GREATEST TRAGEDY OF SEA HIS
TORY TAKES PLACE OFF
CAPE RACE.
MANY NOTABLES WERE ABOARD
Largest Steamer Afloat Making Maid
en- Voyage Strikes an Iceberg and
But Little Hope Is Held Out to Rel
atives Of Passengers.

By far the greatest ocean tragedy
in recorded history was enacted on
Monday night when the White Star
liner Titanic went down off the coast
of Cape Race with more than 1000
persons on board, many of them
known worldwide. The vessel was
the largest passenger afloat and was
making her maiden voyage when she
struck an iceberg with the result as
stated. OF the more than two thous-
and aboard less than 700 were saved,
and these in the life boats. 1t was
supposed that the Titanic was un-
sinkable, but the facts proved to the
contrary and sent grief all over the
world for those who were lost in the
great catastrophe. Those saved were
mostly women and children.
The first intimation Of the horrify-
ing occurrence was when a wireless
message was picked up at the various
wireless stations stating that the
steamer was in distress and calling
| for help. Two great ocean vessels,
the Carpathia and the Virginian, each
more than 100 miles away started at
on to the relief, and the first re.
ports were to the effect that all had
been saved, but the dispatches this
morning are to the effect that less
thai one-third were rescued, and that
more than 1900 persons went down
in less than four hours.
| The New York dispatches say that
when the Carpathia reached the i'll
fated vessel no sign Of life was to be
seen anywhere, the mountainous
ocean sweils giving mute evidence to
the stupendous disaster.
Early reports stated that all Of the
passengers and the crew of the Titan.
ic had been taken of by the Allen
liners virginian and the Partisan and
the Carpathia. but wireless messages
received here tonight discredit these
reports in every detail. @nf r.

No hope is held out at the Offices
Of the White Star line that any man
on board has survived to tell the sto-

sinking. Only by miracle, T. is

THE LORD OF THE
AFRICAN JUNGLE

! The lion is called the king of
beasts" He is given this name by
those who regard him as the super
Tor of all other nimals, in point of
bravery and ferocity. He adds to
the possession of fear-inspiring
form and the proud mien of mon
arch the ownership of loud, terrible
voice., whose reverbrating roar
seems almost to shake the earth.
The lion, Notwithstanding these in
spring characteristics, is not so
dangerous as In self-defense or to
secure food.
Some animals kill simply for the
pleasure of killing. The lion only
in self-defense or to secure food. He
lies IN ambush for his prey. He Is
nervous and easily abashed as IL evi.
denced by the fact that in spring
ing upon his victim, II he misses,
he will not repeat the attempt, but
will sneak back to his hiding place
with an ashamed and disappointed
manner. He will attack any kind Of
an animal, no matter how large, and
is SO powerful that he can carry an

est-bred African lions, and who have
been taught to perform stunts that
are seemingly impossible. The cap
tain performs these monsters in a
mammoth steel arena and among the
exploits introduced are game of ten
pins, jumping through hoops Of fire,
placing his head in the mouths of the
two largest of the subjects. It is a
most remarkable act and wherever it
has been seen this season it has
created tremendous sensation. The
Sun Brothers Shows are this season
making their twentieth annual tour
and have brand new splinter show,
with an all new performing and ex-
additional ranks. The Royal Court
Japanese Circus Company, Is people,

ON "DlSINTERESTEDNESS"
French Formula Unacceptable

London. Nov. 4.-It is the general be-
lief that Bulgaria will refuse to listen
TO anything in the way Of mediation
until the Bulgarian army is at the
gates of Constantinople, and will in
sist that Turkey make an appeal di-
rect to the allies without interference
from the powers.
The powers have not been able to
agree upon the French Premier's for
mula of territorial disinterestedness, -
which is not acceptable TO either Aus
tria or Germany. They are taking
steps, however, for the protection of
Christians and their own political in
terests in Turkey.
In connection with the Servian occu-
patton OF Prishrend, a warning from
Austria appears in the official Vienna
"Tremdenblatt," which, on the suppo
sition that the Servians have now at
tanned the object of their operations
toward the west. says:
There are neither military nor ma
1ional motives for the Servian army to
penetrate the districts beyond Prish-
rend. which are exclusively inhabited
by Albanians. that is, therefore, into

Woodrow Wilson, Democratic candi-

inch scalp wound, the result Of being
thrown against the top Of an auto
mobile while on his way home here
early this morning after making
speech at Red Bank.
The Governor got home and went to
bed without telling Mrs. Wilson or his
daughters Of the accident. fearing that
they would be too much alarmed.
They did not know of the accident
until the Governor told them at the
breakfast table this morning. They
were shocked, but became calm when
they found 1t was not serious.
Governor Wilson, in talking OF the
accident to-day. said that the automo-
bile was going at speed OF about fif-
teen miles an hour. He said a shadow
had evidently concealed the mound
from the chauffeur-a mound, he said,
evidently caused by the filling in of
an excavation.
