The Crowds Increasing.

Fun, just fun. That's what
the throng that packed the mid
way last night were after, and
judging from the bursts of
laughter, the happy faces and the
merry demeanor Of the crowd
they were satisfied.
Although the wind was ex-
%ceptionally strong last night,
Chefalo attempted and accOmp-
.lished a successful ride through
the ''death trap" loop, and re-
ceived a generous ovation from
the interested and surprised
spectatrs. 1t is well named the
death-trap' loop, it is the
most defying exhibition ever
Witnessed in the city of Licking
ton. Chefalo started from the
top of a lofty structure, mounted
on a bicycle. Dashing down
this narrow pathway at a ire
mendous speed he enters and
rides a complete circle Of the
loop. AS he enters the loop one
side of it is open which Isl
known as the death trap" As
he enters and rides a complete
circles the loop and is suspended
from the extreme top, head
downward, with nothing sup
porting him br+ the terrific
momentum whi{ e has attain
ed, his bicycle c, s a spring
that closes the 4 4 trap just
as his wheel is abb three feet
away. From the time Chefalo
starts until he finishes is ex-
actly five seconds. Weather per
hitting Chefalo makes his ride
twice daily, 4;30 lin the after
noon and 1890 every night.

CARD FROM DR.. BROYLES.

Editor Of Beacon:-.
am a stranger to most of the voters
in your county, therefore I would like
to express a wish to them through your
paper, that they give me a fair show
in this campaign, by a suspension Of
judgment until they have heard what !
have to say to them. l expect to make
a clean. square, on my own merit, race.
and as l know how to make it. Ihe
time is short from now till the primary
and it will be hard to see all the voters.
therefore hope every voter that can.
Will come to at least one appointment
IN the county, and if they will Mr., Can.
dler and myself will try to see that
they are not disappointed in their ex-
pectations. Very truly,

A Thief Breaks in Mayors Office.

1t was found Tuesday morning that a
desk in the mayors office had been
broken into and a tin box, in which
some money had been left, had been
stolen. The thief had gained entrance
to the room by the way of a step lad
der. wh Oh he Put up 10 the rear win
dow and worked a shutter loose. It was
supposed that it was done by the thief
who has perpetrated a number of rob-
berries in town in the past six months,
and has successfully escaped detection.
Marshal Lee got busy, though and some
time during the day his attention was
ca led TIA little ntgO who seemed to be
flush with money. He was arrested
and his stories as to how he came by
the mouey proving untrue he was final
ly made to confess. The boys father,
Burke Robertson and his mother assis-
ted the officers in extracting a confess
sion and the boy told at first that he,
Win severai others, among them Black
Joe, had climbed in the window and
forced the desk, broken open the box
and thrown it in a corner of the cellar
under the office. 1t was found where
he had thrown it. The balance of the
money, except a few dollars that he had
spent, a part of which he had bought q
money order, was found in the pocket
Of a pair of pants ut his fathers house.
He finally acknowledged that he com
mitted the robbery alone, but said that
Black Joe had broken into Mr.. Tomlim-
cons store some time ago. Joe has
done time on the public roads several
times for stealing but no proof before
has been obtained to connect him with
this robbery.

An eastern firm at planting
time last spring offered $50 fol
the heaviest yield of silage corn
per acre, one condition of the
contest being that a variety of
corn they sold should be planted.
The prize was won by a lady liv-

who on one acre raised 70 tons
and 800 pounds of fodder, The
piece of land on which this was
grown had been a hen yard and

North Carolina is carrying out
a plan of good roads building
that is not only deserving of the
widest publicity, but of being
copied in other states where the
materials used are available. The
type of road referred to is made
of sand and clay, both of which
materials are at hand. The high
way is first given the convex
. shape by the use of the grader,
so as to insure drainage, and
where needed and possible the
land Immediately adjoining the
road is drained. A layer of clay
i, then applied on the surface,
and on top of this is spread a
layer of sand, which gradually
works into the clay and gives a
firm and fairly durable roadbed.
BY using convict labor these
sand-clay roads are built at q
cost of about $3.50 per mile, while
macadam roads cost about SIS, OOO
per mile. Elk.

THE COUNTY MAP.
To the resident of the county one Of
the striking features Of great value is
the county map This has exactly the
general shape of the county, is made on
the scale of one inch to the mile, and as
the county is about "a miles north and
south and average % miles east and
west the map has a deminsion Of "a by
% inches. On this map are all the town
ships. range an1section lines with their
numbers shown. Hence il a resident
wishes to sell his farm to a purchaser
who lives at a distance he has but to
give the location and the survey report
will furnish him with valuable informa-
tior, u ibiased and non-partisan. The
main roads and bridges, plantation
roads. towns and railroad are shown;
also the county residences, The names
Of the streams. churches. and school
houses are given; also post Offices and
small settlements. Hence 1t Is easily
possible for anyone to locate a given
farm in any portion of the county.
The casual observer will be interested
in the map accompanying the report.
1t is printed in rs distinct colors. each
representing the location of a different
type Of soil. Aside from it's scientific
value as a key to our undeveloped re-
sources. the map is of great value to
residents and those having business in
the county.
Aside from its utility to the farmer
in giving him a better knowledge Of the
possibilities of his home farm, the re-
port will be Of inestimable value to
those who are purchasing alfalfa lands
here. To land owners wishing to secure
loans the statistics will give distant
money lenders a good idea of the safety
loans and the increment in value
constantly taking place. One of the
most pressing needs of our country

Where EaFollette
Disagrees With Taft

Senator LaFollette is strongly OPP
posed to the federal Incorporation act
advocated BY President Taft. He de-
clares that the federal incorporation
act and the federal license legislation
are intended to take the trusts out
| from under the Sherman ANTITRUST
law and the antitrust legislation OF
! the states. He predicts that when
II is fully understood what this means
1t will be relentlessly opposed by the
people.
1T would" says Senator LaFol-
lette. put the stamp or congressional
approval on illegal values. II would
multiply the so-called innocent In
vestors, and shut on the power OF the
people to correct the real evil. Meth
or federal license nor federal incor-
poration is needed in order to relieve
their anxiety. Fixed standards can be
provided in other ways that Will Sc
cure justice as we'll as fixity. No sys-
tenn OF licensing or Incorporation will
be submitted TO that fastens on the
people illegal and criminal profits"
The wisconsin senator has intro
duced a bill creating federal indus
trial commission, authorized TO In
vestigate and ascertain and prohibit
all Of the unfair methods that come
under the definition OF unreasonable
restraint OF trade" and to distinguish
reasonable vstiues from unreasonable
values that depend on restraints OF
trade and monopoly as well as to as
certain the true cost OF production,
based on honest investments.
Senator LaFollette asserts that
these are the facts that the people
desire to know and must know be-
fore they will consent to any legisla-
ton that treats illegal values as
though they were legal and honest.
The indications are that the issue
thus raised will be a feature or the
platform fight at the Chicago conven-
tion.-New Orleans States.

A Human Salamander

Chabert, the Fire King, who was a
popular favorite in London so years
ago, claimed to be able to swallow
arsenic and other poisons with impun-
ity. Visitors to his entertainment
were requested to come provided with
phosphorus, prussic acid, arsenic AMI
oxalic acid, which he proceeded to
consume before their=eyes, taking an
antidote afterward which was suppos-
ed to neutralize their effects. Then,
to show that he was as impervious to
heat as to poison, he would take a
raw leg OF lamb into an oven heated
to 220 degrees and remain inside until
the joint was cooked, when II was
carved and handed around TO the
audience. The performance concluded
by Chabert rubbing red-hot shovel
on his head and face and allowing any
one who wished to drop molten seal
ing,wax on his tongue and hands,
