When passengers are not In
formed as to tho cause of delay on
trains it ia natural that bad feel.
ing is engsred between the travel
ing public and tho railway compa-
uies. The Pennsylvania Railroad,
in al effort to bring about more
friendly feeling among its patrons,
has instructed it's conductors. " hen
a train is brought to a stop on ac-
count of accident or other obstruc-
ton, to notify the passengers -
to tho cause of the delay. 1t is to
be hoped that other roads will fol-
low tho good example set by the
Pennsylvania. A railroad gains
nothing by keeping it's patrons
uniformed, aud if officials were
to take the public more into their
confidence a better feeling between
their roads aud tho public would
be- engsndered. - N. q. Picayuns.

A Substitute For Gasoline.

The Paint, Oil AMI Drug Re-

company has made public fact
which 10 of considerable interest

tho discovery of substitute for
gasoline aud ANNOUNCED that the
new product, which will be called
motor spirit. will 10 placed on the
market at once. Motor spirit will,
it 10 further stated, cost three
cents q gallon less than gasoline
and furnish twenty-five per cont
moro mileage.
The new fuel 10 clsssed az an
additional by-product of petro-
lsum. 1t was discovered by W.
NJ. Burton and patents for the pro-
cess of manufacture were granted
the first Of the year. The spirit
has a greater range Of boiling
points than gasoline. This, it is
said. will allow a motor to be star.
ted ss easily, or moro easily, with
tho new fuel than with gasoline.
BY the discovery of the spirit
tho output of fuel for gasoline en-
ginss FROM . given amount Ut
crude petroleum is declared to be
practically doubled. This, it il
believed, will tend to prevent any
rise in the price of gasoline.
Motor spirit resembles gasoline
closely, except it 10 yellow in color
and has q pungent odor. The
company intends it for use in mo.
tor trucks aud stationary engines,
but its cheapness 10 expected to
encourage its use in pleasure cars,
Notwithstanding there are several
discoursglug features from the
standpoint Of pleasure car owners.
Chief of these in the exhaust Of q
car which employs the spirit a. a
fuel is . white smoke similar in
appearance to that caused by an
excess of oil.
The great consumption of Raso-
line by motors has been threaten.
inH the available supply for some
time, and has bsen advanced as
tho chief reason for increasing the
price Of gasoline.
The usw fuel has been under
test by the Standard Oil company
for several weeks, and its efficiep.
cy, it is dslsred, has been proved
satisfactory to the compsny's on

METHoDrsTs TAKE NEW SCHOOL
Textile Institute at Spartanburg Now
Conference Property. D.

Rock Hill, Nov. 27.-Bishop Will
son was too much indisposed to
preach the Thanksgiving sermon to-
day, to which the Methodists had
looked forward. His place was
taken by Bishop Denny, who preach
ed great sermon.
Until noon the State Conference
was engaged in routine business.
Several matters of special interest
were taken up. The board Of edu-
cation, through Rev. r. e. Stack
house, recommended that a cam
paign for the raising Of 100000 for
the colleges Of the church Of this
State be projected. The campaign
was authorized and a commission of
education to engineer it will be nam
ed before the adjournment of con-
ference.
The board Of education also rec
ommended, through Rev. Peter
Stokes, that the Textile Industrial
Institute at Spartanburg be taken
over by the conference and controlled
by the board Of missions. The rec
ommendation was accepted by con-
ference and this school is now con-
ference property. 1t is an institu-
ton founded by Rev. D. e. Camack
through whose activities a property
worth $4,000 has been built. The
funds were given largely by citizens
Of Spartanburg.

ceived on trial: H. A. Whitten, A:

Sanitation for the World.
columbia State.

Col. Gorgas and his able assistant,
DR.. S. T. Darling, were only permit
ted to see the Panama Canal placed
in the last stages before navigation
than they were summoned to the
South African Rand to undertake a
new battle against disease among an
army Of workmen even greater than
that which has been engaged in cut
ting a waterway across the Isthmus.
When Col. Gorgas took charge of
health and sanitation on Panama he
found a country in which it was tra-
ditional that white men from tenn
perate climates could not live. Yel-
low fever was a constant condition.
Malaria was as common as sunset
Yet, in seven years scinetitic admin
Is tration has so changed these Incl
d ents to life on the Canal Zone that
yellow fever is now called a historic
disease-there having not been "a
case of it since 1906! The summon
ing Of this great sanitary engineer to
the mines of South Africa is more
than recognition Of man who has
conspicuously made good against the
most forbidding odds in history. 1t
is the prelude to new profession of
world experts in world-health.

Importance Of City Trees.
Charlotte Observer.)

To make known, some Of the good
qualities of trees in cities which are
not generally appreciated the New
York Tree Planting Association has
issued a circular. One of its points
Is that the better shade trees serve
excellent purposes the whole year
round. "If we cross one Of our ave-
nues on a hot day when the tempera-
ture is 130 degrees and pass into the
shade of a tree" reads the publica-
ton, 1--WE are refreshed by the cool
air. What makes the change? Not
in the shade alone, but chiefly be-
cause we are in the presence of a
body that has a fixed temperature of
54 degrees, 76 degrees cooler than
the street. If on cold winters day
we pass from temperature Of the
street, at zero, into a group of trees,
we ere surprised at the warmth. This
is not only due to the shelter they
afford, but more largely to the
warmth of the tree, which at Sd de-
grees is 54 degrees warmer than the
street 1t is also emphasized that
trees possess the power of absorbing
and thus removing from the air al
harmful emanations and the putrefy-
ing waste matter so abundant in
cities; they are the scavengers of the
air, protecting people from a large
number of what are known by sani-.
tarians as filth diseases" 1t might
have been added that as simple
screens when so located they like
wise stop a great deal Of dust. For
their invaluable service in regulating
the temperature modern paved
streets enormously increase the need,
because asphalt or bitulithic repre-
sents the extreme OF heat in summer
and Of cold in winter. Yet it often
happens, and perhaps unavoidably,
that the pavement brings the destruc-
ton Of fine trees. Clearly every eff
fort should be made to replace them
on the street, where feasible, and ir-
respective Of the street possibilities
they should be planted or cherished
in yards.
