100 Per Cent Attendance Unusual.

lUU FCT SCuI
Anderson.-It is rather unusual for
a 100 per cent attendance upon the an
nual meeting of the county board OF
tax equalizers, but that is what, hap
pened in Anderson county. Every one
of the % townships was represented
by the chairman Of its board Of asses
sors. Very few complaints were plac.
ed before the equalizing board, and the
business was dispatched In a few min
utes. In speaking about the assess
ments for this year Auditor Craig stat
ed the. largest increase In any n as
sessment was made in Pendleton town
ship, when the board of that township
raised the assessment on the Portman
Shoals power plant Of the Anderson
Water, Light and Power company.

A NEW ONE COME.

New York editors are patriot
ically trying to dissuade women
from adopting the proposed
Robespierre styles from Paris.
We don't know what Robes
pierre gown looks like, but we do
know that in Robespierre's time
the French woman wasn't half
dressed, physically or morally
speaking. 1t was in period OF
slaughter, arson and paganism,
and woman took her full rightsi in
the general deviltry.
The new ~Robespierre styles
will probably be representative of
woman about as low down as she
can get, but, if it's playing the
monkey to the Paris demi-monde
that's no reason why New York
high dressers won't be for it.

Commissioner Browns court, and in
default was lodged in Jail Stark had
in his possession number of letters
that he had written to himself in var
ious hand writing from different towns
which he made and all of which were
mailed on the train. In the letters he
would tell some searry tale about
some valuable land which he owned,
and in this way succeeded in borrow
ing quite a sum of money from an
aged couple by the name of Liven-
berger, of Hydro, Okla.
The letter that got him in Jail was
one he was waiting for here at Vinita.
He had written last final letter to
the old people and signed another
mans name to it. In the letter he said
that Stark had died and left deed to
the land to the old people, and that
he (the friend) was on his way to
Hydro with the deeds and had got as
far as Vinita and ran short of money
and if the old people would send $100
he would be there on the next train.
1t was his suspicious actions and his
frequent inquiry for registered let.
ter that led to his arrest.

MARRS WINS IN
THE FIFTH ROUND.
whirIwind Loses in the Fifth Round
Authorities Stop Hout-Good
Preliminary.

Billy Marrs defeated "Whirlwind"
Bridgeman in the fifth round Of
scheduled ten round boxing contest at
the Grand Theatre last night. 1t was
the first bout that Bridgeman has lost
since his entrance into the pugilistic
game and he proved a hard loser.
The boys were matched at 1870
pounds. Both weighed in well under
weight, Bridgeman weighing 1876
pounds, while Marrs contrary to the
expectations of all was the lighter of
the two, weighing but 1874.
Bridgeman started strong but Marrs
took things easy and did not cut loose
until the third round and from then
on Bridgeman never had a chance. 1t
was not very scientific exhibition but
both boys did their best and the crowd
was well pleased
Bridgeman proved that his ability to
take punishment was his only asset as
"a boxer, His work on the defense was
very poor and the only way he had Of
stopping a blow was with his face.
Bridgeman's eye and cheek were cut in
the third round and from there ON
Marrs worked on his bleeding face
until in the ffth the authorities de-
cided to stop the contest before II be-
came too brutal for the ladies' present.
6axiey and Alexander Draw.
The preliminary between Battling
Alec and Lester Baxley was by far
the more scientific of the two bouts.
1t was go every minute from the
first to the last gong. Baxley scored
the most licks but the Battler from
Centralia would come back strong and
take the punishment without flinching.
It was good bout and the crowd will
welcome these two boys if they appear
again.

THOUGHT 1T WAS IMITATION
Barney Weller Was Fond Of Jokes,
But Rooster Under He Bed
Was Too Much.

Barney Weller was about the fun
niest fellow you ever saw. He was
always making people laugh by play
ing jokes on somebody, and he put up
a game on victim every day in the
week. He was in Chicago at big
hotel on one occasion when the butt
of one of his jokes sought revenge
by securing a live rooster and tying
It under Barney's bed at night.
At three o'clock in the morning the
rooster turned up for his first vocal
selection and let out a long, shrill
crow. The second performance Of
this kind was too much for the humor-
list. He dressed himself hastily and
rushed down to the night clerk.
Give me my bill" he said fierce
ly. I'm going to get out of this
pIace!"
But please tell me what .ha
trouble is,' suggested the night
clerk.
THAT don't matter" said Weller
angrily. I'm going TO get oct =
here and get out quickp
AT least" begged the clerk 'let
us know what is the matter with the
hotel before you CO.
Well" exploded Weller, there's q
crazy fool next door to me who thinks
this place is henhouse. He's spent
the last two hours trying to initiate a
rooster. Popular Magazine.

TalIest Tree In the World

The tallest tree in The world is the
Australian eucalyptus. reaching a total
altitude of 4S0 feet. The biggest are
the mammoth trees of California, some
of which are 276 to S7e feet in height
and 1OS feet in circumference at the
base. From measurements of the
rings 1t is believed that some of these
trees are from 1000 to $500 years old.
The oldest tree in the world is said to
be on the island of Kos, off the coast
of Asia Minor. It is several thousand
years old, but just how many no one
has dared to say. The tree is carefully
preserved by wall of masonry around

CARIBOU IS FASTEST RUNNER
Maine Woodsman Tells of Seeing
Greyhound Left Behind by
Herd of Four.

In Maine 1t is contended that the
caribou can outrun any other animal
According to the testimony of one
woodsman, caribou left behind grey
hound that had been matched against
them.
A guide succeeded in starting the
dog after some caribou-a herd OF
four standing like statues on the ice of
one of the big ponds in the region
along the west branch of the Penob-
scot
Now, the caribou trots, instead OF
running, like most other wild animals.
In the present case there had been q
plentiful fall OF snow, rain which
had formed thick crust, and then an
other fall of snow, all of which consti-
tuted the very finest surface whereon
to hold race of this description.
When the greyhound was loosed It's
owner confidently expected that 1t
would outrun the caribou.
When the carbon woke up and hit
their pace It was sight to see them.
They did not appear to be proceeding
with much speed, but as the hound
drew up on them they increased their
pace. The hound was doing his very
best, but made no headway against
the caribou at all. The dog stuck to 1t
with courage, but before 1t was half
way across the pond the caribou had
reached the other side and disappear
ed in the woods.
