Mrs. Williamson and Miss Strad-

bottom, but the water was so shallow
and the bottom 80 smooth that they

They were walking several feet apart
when the girls on the bank saw them
go under
Panic followed The women in the
water fought with desperation, OBJ
livious to the fact that opening their
mouths to scream was admitting the

called and shouted, and the two boys
rushed up to see their mother and

of drowning.
Boys Fine Swimmers.
AS they stripped part of their
clothes, ]. c., the younger, ex-
claimed:

Before the boys could reach the
struggling women they had sunk for
the second time. When they came up
they screamed no more. and they
fought with feeble efforts.
The boys had learned to swim il

to the rescue with the speed of ex-

1t was soon evident, however. that

were against the victims.

He did not stop to remember that
he was a poor swimmer neither did
he discard any of his clothes. but

Another tragedy threatened when
he reached the deep water. Police
man williamson sank as the women
had When he came up he saw that
it was vain for him to attempt to
render aid The boys were making
progress toward the shore, so he
struck out for the shallow water.
When he secured a footing he
watched and gave instructions to the

line was made by the girls and all
pulled ashore.
The boys were exhausted and the
two women unconscious.
Mrs. williamson is confined to her
bed, but her condition is reported
not serious. She is merely suffering
from a reaction from the shock. Miss
Stradley is up and all right except for
slightly sore throat.

,1n accident that might have proved

tc,ur or five inches in diameter, brok-

beneath which Messrs. Edwards and
Dague were sitting, unconscious OF
the impending danger. A gentle
hneeze swayed the swinging branch
and it came to the ground with a
crash lighting on it's top, the butt end
was precipitated in the direction of

Highway Commissioner Here.

H. c. Beard, of Mt. Ayr, member
of the state highway commission,
was in Leon on business last Satur-

able to announce the decision of the
commission in regard to the contest

nation as to which would be the
roads selected. - iufs
While here Mr.. Beard said that it
was the duty of the township trustees
to keep the roads in their: townships
which were not designated county
highways in good condition and they
must look after all culverts except
those on the county highways which
are to be looked after by the board of
supervisors. The commission will in
sist that this work be not neglected.
Mr.. Beard has secured a promise
from Hon. V. R. McGinnis to make a
good roads address at big picnic on

James White, of the garage, had
an experience last Saturday after
noon which he does not care to have
repeated. 1t seems that some time
ago-about two months--he received
a shipment of gasoline in iron bar
rels. He noticed at the time that
one of the barrels had two small nail
holes in it. The barrel was emptied
and left standing in the garage dur
ing this time. He notified the COM
pany about the barrel and they told
him to- weld it and they would pay
the expense. So last Saturday after
noon, Jim" started to weld the bar
rel, and in his own words, II was
looking through my goggles at 1t,
when all at once it was not there"
The top of the barrel went through
the running board of an auto which
was standing nearby, while the rest
Of it was found at the back end of
the building. The. concussiOn was SO
great that it broke glass out of a
show case in the Pangburn Cafe. and
shook most every business house in
town. AS luck would have At, no one
was hurt, but had any one been

rel, 1t would have killed them In:

white will ever attempt to weld an
other one Cumberland Entefpfise. q

LARGER PACKAGES AT CHEAPER
ssg RATES.
POstOffice Hereafter Will Take Par
cells up to Twenty Pounds

The new schedule of rates on par
eel post packages withintthe first two
zones was received yesterday by
postmaster Louis C. Kurtz. 1t will
go into effect August Is. Il"
In effect, the new regulations do
away with the line between the first
and second zones, the rate for both
being the same under the new regu-
lations. ,. a......
Under the new law it will be pos
sible to send parcels weighing up to
twenty pounds instead of to only
eleven pounds.
The rate on local delivery is reduc-
ed from cents for the first pound
and one cent for each additions
pound to 5 cents for the first pound
and / cent for each additional two
pounds.
The rate for first zone delivery
other than local is lowered from 5
cents for the first pound and cents
for each additional pound to cents
for the first and 1 cent for each addi-
tional pound. a.as
The rate on second zone delivery
is lowered from cents for the first
and 4 cents for each additional
pound to cents for the first and /
cent for each additional pound.
How seriously the new rates will
affect the express business is evident
when one considers that under the
old regulations it was cheaper to
send all packages over five pounds in
weight, destined for short hauls, by
express, while the highest postage
rate within the first two zones is now
lower than the express rate mini
mum. Quick depreciation in the
short haul business of the express
companies is predicted unless the
companies lower their rates to meet
the new form of competition.
Following is the new schedule for
the first two zones:

Allerton z; Leon 5.
By r. l. Benefiel.

In a game, which see-saWed back
and forth, Allerton defeated Leon by
a to 5 score last Sunday before a
select gathering of few hundred
fans. The contest was hard fought
throughout, both teams having the
lead at different stages, and the final
result was in doubt until the end.

home crowd and showed erratic
form. On several occasions he stop
ped threatened rallies single handed
and hung up record of ten strike
outs during the afternoon, but on
the other hand he weakened at a
critical time and the visitors, taking
advantage of this, proceeded to maui
the ball all over the lot.
Consistent hitting, on the part OF
the enemy, in round eight enabled
Whitley's proteges to push three
counters across the rubber, which
put them away in the lead for we'll
earned victory. In the fifth a trio
of blows, coupled with a pair of bob
bles on the part of the home guard,
produced three more tallies for the
visitors, while single marker in the
fourth stanza brought the total up to
seven.
Aside from the fifth and eighth
frames, when Peck's offerings were
hit freely, the local twirler was mas
ter of the situation at all times and
displayed GOODNESS, that would have
done credit to a Lacquer. He dished
up a fine assortment of benders and
worked the batters like veteran.
Although but four errors were charg-
ed against the locals, every one of
