A New York Judge went over to
ireland recently and met the brother
Of tom" Costigan, a well known dis
trict leader in one wing of the Democ-
racy." The judge told Toms" broth
er in Ireland all about what a great
man Tom" had become, about his
popularity and influence, devotion to
politics. The brother, instead of shar-
ing the judges enthusiasm, looked
anxious. Before you CO." said Toms"
brother, please satisfy me on one
point. Isn't all this attention to
politics interfering with my brothers
business?"

Knew Something About Il.

The small boy of the household was
not notably proficient in sacred lore,
but when his sister asked him. Where
was Solomons temple?" he indignant
ly resented the supposed impeach-
ment Of his stock of information, and
retorted:
Don't you think know anything?"
She assured him that she did not
doubt that he knew, but urged him to
state for her benefit.
Though not crediting her sincerity,
he finally exclaimed, curtly:
"On the side of his head, OF course,
where other folks are! D'you s'pose
I'm fool?"

away is pointed out as the place where
the father of all Baldwin apple trees
formerly stood, the original tree itself
having been blown down in a terrific
gale early in the last century.
In 1895 the Rumford Historical as
ISOLATION erected monument to mark
the site Of the old tree. The square
granite shaft is surmounted by a great
stone apple to represent a perfect spe-
cimen Of the Baldwin variety. The
date Of the discovery of the ''pecker''
tree is given on the monument as
1913, but there is considerable doubt
as to the correctness of this date.
There is little question, however, as
to the location being the proper one,
although at one time no less than six
towns near Boston and one in Maine
were claiming the honor of having pos
sessed the original Baldwin tree. AS
1t is, the surviving members of the
Buffers family believe they should not
be ignored, as it was a Buffers who
first domesticated this variety, and the
Thompsons naturally think that the
apple should really bear their name,
as Thompson was first to start it on
its road to fame.
The whole question as to the origin
of the apple had become such an in-
volved one that the state legislature
took hand in the fifties and appoint
ed committee to investigate the mat
ter. This committee determined what
1t believed to be the exact location Of
the original tree on the Buffers farm
and marked it on the state map Of
Wilmington.

DEATH HARVEST OF JUNGLE

Deaths from attacks by wild ami
mails in India are increasing in num-
Der. Rising waters have driven SER
pents from the lowland jungles up to
the villages, and have diminished
through drowning the natural food
supply of the larger wild beasts. Over
1000 persons were killed in 1910 by
elephants, tigers, hyenas, bears, leo
pards, wolves, wild pigs and other
animals. over $4,000 were killed by
snakes. The grand total of mortality
was nearly $4,000 persons. At the
same time $4,000 cattle were killed by
snakes and wild beasts. The inhabi-
tants of the jungle also suffered by re-
prisals on the part of their human enc
mics. Ninety-one thousand snakes
and 10000 wild beasts were killed

MOUNTAIN STOPS WIRELESS

1t has been observed repeatedly on
board vessels stationed west of Cape
Otway Cat the southern tip of Aus
tralia) that 1t was impossible to COM
municate by wireless telegraphy with
vessels situated in the port Of Mel
bourne. This has been attributed to
the fact that the mountain which
forms the cape contains large quanti-
ties of metallic minerals, which alb
sorb electric waves.

"Ye-e-es," stammered the laborer,

WATER USED BY ONE CITY

Taking the whole population of the
world at 1,5OO,OOO,0OO people, some
idea can be formed of the vastness Of
New York's water supply. II every
man, woman and child on the face OF
the earth were to walk up to the lakes
and reservoirs which supply New York
city with water, and each to pour in
two gallons Of water, It would not be
enough to last that city ten days.

TWO INDICTED FOR
WACKERLY KILLING
Grover Garrett and Arthur Good
win Charged With Execut-
ing Plot to rlurder

AS result of the grand jury's
Investigations into the murder of
Glenn Wackerly near Jamestown a
few weeks ago, indictments charg-
ing first degree murder have been
found against Grover Garrett and
Arthur Goodwin. The latter was
arrested at the time of the muir
der but was discharged at the pre-
liminary trial.
Garrett claims the killing was
done in self defense, and at the
preliminary trial was corroborated
by Goodwin, who was the only
eye witness.
The state will contend that a
conspiracy to murder Wackerly
was planned and that both men
were implicated.
Wackerly's daughter is said to
have Abandoned Garrett. She was
summoned as a witness for the
defense in the preliminary trial,
but was not used. 1t is not be-
LEVIED that she will testify for
Garrett.

BOOST MOVEMENT
FOR BETTER TOWN
Citizens and Officials Pledge Sup
port to Recently Organized
Improvement Club

The Newark Civic Improvement
League held a big rally at the
High School Auditorium last Fri
day night. Some stirring speeches
along the lines of progress and the
uplift of our town and commune
ty were made. After the sing
ing of america" by the audience
and prayer by Rev. E. A. Horn,
Mrs. ]. B. Stewart, a member of
the league, made very interest
ing address, setting forth the OBJ
ject of the organization and out
lining briefly some of the things
it hoped to accomplished in the
near future and urging the coop
Grafton of all in helping to bring
about conditions to make Newark
one among the best towns in the
state.
Mayor E. H. Williamson then
spoke at length on the moral and
the sanitary conditions of the town
showing where an improvement
could be made along these lines
and made a strong appeal to the
citizens to take a stand for the
better things in our community.
Miss Eugenia Moore, president
of the organization, read a very
interesting paper on the question
of sanitation.
Rev. A. H. Dulaney addressed
the meeting on the "Battlement
of the Home" and in his forceful,
and logical way of presenting
thoughts, showed the four walls
of this "battlement,' to be built
around the home, were the educa-
tional wall, the social wall, the
sanitary wall and the religious
wall.
Hon. ]. L. Brown was present
and was called on for a speech,
and in his unique. entertaining
style, made a brief talk, heartily
commencing the people for their
spirit of progress and praising the
good women for taking the lead
in these things.
J. P. Magness and others spoke
on school sanitation and brought
out the moral and educational
effect of identifying the school
grounds and keeping the building
in the very best of sanitary con-
dition. Mr.. Magness represented

Rock and Mrs. Rachel Anderson of

at Batesville.
W. M. Churchill and little

town yesterday.

The Missionary Society will
meet Tuesday, the 5th, with Mrs.
E. K. Moore. A special missionary
program will be rendered. All
members are urged to be present
and visitors cordially invited.
Mrs. ]. B. West, representing
the Old Peoples Home, of Rod
gers, was in town yesterday in the
interest of that institution. This
home, which was founded by Mrs.
West is doing a good work in
caring for aged people who are
homeless. 1t is supported entirely
by charitably inclined people, but
Mrs. West hopes to induce the
next legislature to make a small
appropriation for its benefit.
I. ]. Welborn who is farming
on c. P. Vaughan's place in the
bottom, has already gathered 81
bales of cotton from 81 acres and
will get enough more to make his
crop average about three-fourths
OF a bale per acre. This is a pref
ty fair crop, considering the I'M
favorable season. We hear of
many others whose crops are MAX
ing about the same yield, and it is
generally conceded that the crop
will be considerably better than
was expected.
Rev. E. A. Horn returned We'd
nesday night from trip to points
IN Lawrence and Jackson counties.
He brought large bunch of rice,
which he gathered from the field
of c. S. Counts near Swifton. 1t is
fine and compares favorably with
any we have every seen. Mr..
Counts has so acres in rice and it
is estimated that his crop will
yield 90 to 90 bushels per acre.
There is quite a lot of fine rice
land around Newark and we hope
to see rice-growing taken up by
some of our people in the not far
distant future.
