TRINIDAD'S ASPHALT LAKE,.
One Of the Worlds Hot Spots, Torrid,
Desolatina and Enervasina,

| One OF the Worlds Hot Spots, Torrid,
Desolatins and Enervatins.
In THE Path of the Couquistadores'
Lindon Bates, Jr. tells Of the famous
asphalt lake Of Trinidad. He says:
The struggling village ut its edge
is an extraordinary spectacle Not a
houSebut is twisted out Of plumb. The
land is the source OF never ending liti-
gatioa. BECAUSE the slowly shifting cur
rents Of the pitch bottom in 4 few
years move yards and gardens on to
other mems property. distort bound
aries into every possible shape. carry
landmarks Il hundred yards away.
THE abonination nf desolation is
this lake. In spots Il palm killed by
the asphalt droolH diSconSoately. A
few tufts Of grass have secured 4
footing in places. But for the rest 1t
is solid mass Of black. dull. evil
smelling pitch. with pools Of water
here and there, in which swim little
parboiled fishes. Against any Of the
hot spots in the world, bar none. this
can be backed.
"A wicked looking blacksnake six
feet long glides into the bushes near
the margin Of tie lake. 1t has been
summing itself on the asphalt. No Won
der the serpents are supposed to be
creatures Of the devil. AS for ourself,
fifteen minutes stay takes away every
bit Of vitality we can summon. Not
enough interest is left in life to inquire
what the negroes hewing with mat
tocks at the asphalt receive In wages.
They earn the pay, whatever it IS.
"The lake IS ninety to a hundred
acres in extent now, but 1t is gradual
~ shrinking with the removal Of the
enormous quantities that have been
taken out"

Rill Clarendon Lose Territory!

The project OF cutting Of about 80
square miles OF Clarendon's territory
from the Workman section, according
t. information given US last Friday,
has been renewed, and that the petit
tion has been forwarded to the Cover
Dor for an election to go into Williams
burg county. AS We understand it, the
dissatisfaction arises out OF the school
district management, and after several
attempts to get the county board 10 sat-
iSfy portion of the patrons OF the dis
trict and failing TO get the relief they
desired they have determined TO cut of
from the county and 20 into the adjoin-
ing county. II seems TO US they could
arrange to form a school district with
much better results and not disrupt
the county formation, however. they
know the conditions better than We do,
and are in a better position TO know
what to do; we dislike TO have any por-
tion of the county disrupted, and. .espec-
tally are we loath 10 part with the 60 ID
people of that section, if we could We
should try to oissuade them from the
purpose, but If they are determined to
cut of since they are aware that it does
not release them from the bonded obll-
cations OF the county, there is no help
| ing il. We have also information that
there has been a movement renewed to
make Olanta county seat 1t is con-
| tt-mp!ated to take from Clarendon the
entire Salem section, making Black
River the line, and take a portion OF
Florence county and if this does not
give the necessary area then take the
rest from Williamsburg. 1t would be
indeed unfortunate TO have to lose SO
much territory from this county, ard
we sincerely hope that it will not be
done. But there is no telling wnat will
be done when the effort is made by
those who have pecuniary interest in
making the town of Oianta a county
seat.

3. F. Mcfarland proprietor of the
Henderson hotel on Peachtree street,
asks the public in general and the po-
lice board in particular to censure the
five policemen who, he charges, en-
tered his hotel recently, burst open the
door of room 10, and offended w. J.
Ray and his wife. the occupants. The
request is made in a statement of COM
plant which was filed with the police
board this morning
Mrs. Ray herself called on Chief
Beavers and announced she had no
complaint to make.
Mcfarland declares that the raid has
cost the hotel decrease in patronage
and likely will result in his bankruptcy,
as he put all his fortune in establishing
the house. His complaint further is
that the five policemen came into his
hotel without tangible evidence on
which to base their raid, but with the
intention of looking for evidence after
their intrusion
The five policemen against whom
complaint was made are G. c. Fain. S.
E. Arrowood, G. +. Whelchel, c. G. Will
liams and James +. Mcdaniel Their
impeachment and discharge is asked in

NEW TACK TAKEN
IN PHONE PROBE
WlCkerSham Puts Investigation
and Regulation Up to Inter
state Commission.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-Regulation
by the interstate commerce commission
Of the American Telephone and Tele-
graph Company. and not by the compul
sorry competitive provisions of the Sher-
man antitrust law, will be the means of
solving in large measure. the So called
telephone trust problem. according to At
torney General Wickersham. who has an
nounced he has referred the whole ques
ton to the commission for investigation
and action.
This move terminates the investigation
by the department of justice of the al
legged $500 600 900 telephone trust, against
which independent telephone companies
have made charges of unfair treatment
and of the employment of methods de-
structive of competition.
The commissions investigation will be
far-reaching in effect, and out of it is
expected to grow the outline of gov
ernmental policy with respect to the tele-
phone and telegraph. 1t must be deter
mined according to officials, whether in
the interest and convenience of the pub
lie, the telephone or telegraph monopoly
under rigid regulation, should be tolerated
by the Federal government, or whether
the government should take over utilities;
or finally. competition should be enforced,
under the Sherman antitrust law, and
monopoly prohibited.

Would you kill call to save a Wom-

that fifteen or twenty of Atlanta's most
efficient telephone operators will an

ing The Woman" as guests of the At
lanta theater on Thursday night.
And they will struggle for solution
doubtless just as the woman of the
drama did, with her duty as an operator
on one side and her duty as woman on
the other. Perhaps some of the Allan
ia girls will not answer the question in
the way of Wanda Kelly" for duty is
a relative thing and problems are prob
lens only when made so.
At any rate, the Atlanta theater has
decided to have the views of Atlanta
operators on the question. So twenty
young women, chosen from the city s
principal exchanges, where day after
day they doubtless answer this ques-
ton or questions, just as vital, will
write their criticism of Wanda Kelly's
action and tell what they would have
done in her predicament. Some will
agree with The Woman" and some
may disagree, but they know whereof
they write.
Perhaps day after day these very
young women with whom you fume
over the wire, impatient over trivial
delays, wrestle with moral questions as
great as the one which The Woman
solved for herself when she kept at bay
a bunch of big politicians who sought
to wreck a Womans reputation. Per-
haps these girls, through whose hands

world all boiled down and spread out on

of fate, who sees that the right persons
get each other and like fate, lets them
work out their own affairs
Should she sometimes interfere with
those affairs is the question that Will
