BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
ATLANTA, Ca, Jan. 19.-Arrange-
ments for moving Charles w. Morse,
the New York banker whose fifteen
year sentence was commuted last
evening by Taft, to sanitarium were
held up today pending the arrival of
Mrs. Morse from Washington.
1t is expected Morse will visit one
of the German resorts, II his condi-
tion permits. While the former pris-
oner, who, today is occupying room
at the army hospital as the guest"
of the government. was greatly bright
ened this morning at the news of CON-
mutation. the military physicians
would permit few persons to see him.
FIXING FATHER TIME.
The cold weather was evidently too
much for Father Time, for the big
public clock on the Hoskins building
at the corner of Fourth and Broadway
stopped in the face of the subzero
conditions. Experts were repairing
it this morning so that it will once
more tell the hurried traveller the
time of day.

THE CHARITY BALL

The largest crowd that ever
turned out to ball of any kind
in this town turned out last night
to the Charity ball, given by the
ladies OF the Guild. Nearly one
hundred couples followed Mr.. and
Mrs. E. R. Newman in the grand
march ard at times more than that
number were on the floor dancing.
The Opera House was hand
somely decorated and the music
was excellent. The floor from the
gallery was wriggling, squirming
mass of men and women as they
glided here and there in the
dreamy waltz or lively two-st ep.
1t was surely pretty sight.
The decorations were of chara-
cter that brought st Valentine to
mind wherever the eye rested.
Big red hearts with Cupid and his
bow and arrow and with other
fancy designs painted on them
we're in evidence everywhere.
The painting on the drop curtain
was a work of art. Taking it all in
all the ball was one of the most
successful every given in EIko.
The gross receipts were $3.50
which will leave snug sum in
the Guild treasury to be devoted
to charitable work.
The ladies extend their sincere
thanks to the public for their
generous patronage and assistance.

BIG PROJECT IS
FORMED ON RIVER

Civil Engineer w. w. Coleman
of this city. will leave in few
days for Lyon County where he
will take up work for big COM
pany that is perrecting a reclama-
ton scheme IN the Mason Valley
district on the East Fork of the
Walker River. The scheme is a
gigantic one and involves bringing
under irrigation a tract of land of
some $4,000 acres.
1t is expected that the first unit
will be ready for occupation about
the first of the year 1913 and COM
prise about 5000. 1t is the inten-
ton to bring this vast acreage
under irrigation and cultivation in
units of 5000 acres, thus having a
portion of the land under cultiva-
ton and being carried to compile
ton.
Work is already we'll under way
OH the strong reservoirs in the
vicinity of Bridgeport and when
completed there will be ample
WATER to properly irrigate the
entire body of land under the
project.
Mr.. Coleman declares that this
project will be tue means of
adding several thousand in popula-
tion to the Mason Valley district.
There is another large water
scheme in contemplation OH the
West Fork of the Walker but this
is different IN respect that it is for
the purpose of providing sufficient
water for thoroughly irrigating
the land now reclaimed and partly
cultivated, but which has not
sufficient water in the late summer
months to insure crops. This
project also will mean much for
the western side of that prosperous
valley. Carson Appeal.

METEOR FALLS NEAR CAL|ENTE

Henry Ryan, railroad en-
plOye, working near Mimic, eight
miles east of Caliente, saw a meteor
strike the hill side close by, last
Saturday evening at about five
o'clock. When it struck the
ground the sage brush near by
caught fire from the intense heat
1t radiated and it was impossible
to approach the vicinity for several
minutes. After the body had cooled
Mr.. Ry&n broke off some pieces
and brought them to Caliente.
The mass appears to he a large
body Of molten iron containing
considerable carbon. The sound it
made when coming in contact
with the earth was a dull. deafen-
ing thud.-('aliente Prospector.

TEMPEST AND SUNSHINE

An aristocratic south erner of
the old school, Joshua Middleton
by name. is left at the death of
his wife with the problem of
selecting husbands for his two
beautiful daughters, Tempest"
and Sunshine. The young ladies
have decided opinions of their own
worth and look with scorn upon
the attentions shown them by the
youths of the village. Julia,
better known as. Tempest" is a
black haired, fiery tempered young
girl Of uncertain disposition who
will resort to anything if she but
gains her own aim and ends, in
consequence of which innocent
parties are made t. suffer for the
guilty.
Fannie, known as Sunshine" is
the direct opposi tie of her sister,
being loveable, golden haired
girl of laughing sunny disposition,
who will suffer untold agolies
rather than unjustly accuse
another of deceit and hypocricy.
Joshua Middleton throws up his
hands in despair at the complica-
tions which arise from his efforts
ut match making.
The scenery is beautiful, the
costuming is quaint and pretty,
the gowns being of the airy
summary stuffs made in the
fashion of 1850 which is the
period of the play.

Tobacco Board of Trade.

Tobacco men here from various
parts of the South have recently got
together and organized what will be
known as the kingstree Board Of
Trade with the following officers:
G. w Swain, president; Henry Wood,
Jr, vice-preSident, and VI r GaSs,
secretary. Mr. Swain is one of the
Oldest and best known tobacco men
in the South and is representing
Dibrell Bros, Daneille, Va. Mr.
Wood of Clarksville, Va, is a young
man who literally grew up in the
tobacco business under the tutor
ship of the American Tobacco Co,
and is now representing the British
American Co, while Mr. Gass is a
warehouseman from North Carolina,
having been born and reared in Win
ston-Salem, where he has breathed
the fragrant odors of the weed all
of his life. These men having been
selected to officer the organization
is nothing more or less than very
high tribute to their ability when
we consider that they have been
selected by members of the organi-
zation numbering among the best
tobacco men in the country.
Application will at once be made
to the Secretary of State for char
ter for the organization. Lake City
already has such an organization
and it has been Of great benefit to
the trade in that town.

Sewerage System Completed.

Monday marked the completion
of the joint contract for water and
sewerage system in the town of
Kingstree. which was awarded to
the B F Meeks Construction Co, of
Atlanta. Ga, early in December of
last year.
The water works was completed
and taken over by the Board of
Commissioners some days ago, as
stated in last weeks issue of The
Record, but at that time the sewer
age system was not ready to be
turned over by the contractors, the
delay being entirely due to the non
arrival of few carloads of stone
for use in the septic basins. These
came in thefatter part of the week
andNere put in place, completing
the work of construction early this
week.
Mr. H Volt, assistant to Engineer
johnson. was busy last week and un-
til Tuesday evening finishing up mi
nor measurements and getting data
for complete set of blueprints,
showing the location of all the wa
ter and sewer pipe lines, the cutoff
valves, fire plugs, manholes, etc.
Tuesday morning Mr. johnson came
down from Florence, a few fin
ishing touches were added and the
entire systems were turned over to
the Board of Commissioners.
The County Record congratulates
the town of kingstree and the En-
gineers and contractors upon the
successful completion of an excel
lent water and sewerage system
which is now at the disposal of her
citizens and it's hoped they will lose
no time in installing water and sewer
connections in their homes.

VICTIM DEAD, SLAYER GONE.
Another Tragedy at Olar, White
Men Being Principals.

Bamberg, July 24:-Coroner Zeig-
Ter has Just returned from Olar, in
this county, where he went to hold
an inquest over the dead body of
Lennie Reed, a young white man,
who was shot at that place by
Maaer Morris, also white, on last
"Wednesday morning. He died yes
terday, and was buried at the Bap-
tbs church cemetery at Olar today.
Little evidence was brought out
at the inquest beyond the fact that
Reed was shot and fatally wounded
by Morris. The cause of the diff
Guilty seems to be a mystery and by
some the act is thought to be al
most wholly without provocation.
Morris has left for parts unknown
and unless he concludes to Surrend-
er his arrest is thought to be un-
likely in the near future.
The usual verdict was rendered
by the coroner's jury and warrant
for the arrest of Morris was placed
in the hands of the magistrate at
Olar.
The coroner reports that includ-
ing the three negroes, who were
lynched near Olar few weeks ago,
that section of the county has the
unenviable distinction of nine .homi-
cides to its credit Cor discredit)
since the Christmas holidays began.
OF the victims six were colored and
three white.
Another unusual and interesting
fact related by him is that in the
Baptist Church cemetery at Olar,
which was established about eighteen
years ago, are to be found the graves
of nine white men who met death
at the hands Of their fellow men.
