tural pursuits of the county. For this
reason he is pretty we'll known thru
out the county, and he numbers his
friends among all who know him. He
is honest in his dealings. and every
body likes him. He would make
good sheriff and a large circle of
friends are stoutly backing him in his

that the republicans of Marion will
rally to him as a good man to carry
their banner in the coming campaign.

EPISCOPAL CHURCH
IN GREAT WORK
Founding Missions on the Wide
Cumberland Plateau.
Pushing Forward UndauntedIy
to Betterment of People.

The Episcopal Church, whose head
quarters Is at Sewauee, is doing a
great work on Cumberland Plateau
teaching and instructing, forming con-
gregations and building chapels. Their
work of recent years has been peculiar
ly noticeable in this section through
the success of their mission at Foster
Falls, which celebrated it's Annual
Festival Sunday, August "a, st. Bar
tholemew's Day, Bishop Gailor preach
ing and administering the rite of con-
frmation. A considerable number of
people from Tracy City, Sewanee and
Sequachee were present.
The exercises consisted of public
catec hising of the Sunday School at 10
O'Clock, followed by very powerful
and logical sermon by Bishop Gailor
and confirmation. Bishop Gailoi's SER
mon was cloely followed as he rapidly
sketche1 number of the basic princi-
pes of christianity, especially with
reference to the sacrament to be ad-
ministered. He has solid. impress
i've manner Of delivery, which rivets
attention and his sermon presented
facts in bold, vigorous manner.
Concluding the confirmation service
a general basket dinner was had IN
the fine grove at the camp, which has
been maintained there the past week
aud will be during this week by
number of teachers and others from
Sewanee, Monteagle and Tracy City.
In the afternoon the assembly was
addressed by Miss Laura Bassett, of
Jumpoff Station, who spoke relative to
school work and her methods of teach
ing and controlling the young, after
which. F. M. Almeny. of Foster Falls,
spoke endorsing the mission work at
the place, which concluded the exer-
cises. Hymns were sung at appropri-
at intervals during the order Of service
which included the recital in unison
at several points Of the Creed and the
Lords Prayer.
The services were under charge of
william Fl. DuBose, who is the priest
in charge Of the work, and to whose,
untiring activity and self-sacriticing
zeal large measure of its success is
due. He is thoroughly awake to the
needs Of the people, and the splendid
growth OF the missions at Foster Falls,
Coalmont, Tracy City and other points
is q tribute TO his ceaseless labor for
better things just at present be is
bending his energies towards the erec-
tion Of chapel at Foster Falls and to
maintain school in connection with
it.
The splendid training of the child
rem who took part in the exercises is a
great cie edit to the community, They
seemed to be fully alive to the occas-
ion and went through their allotted
tasks in excellent style. The exercises
we're held in the beautiful pine grove
lust above the Falls, and the speaking
was done before large cross erected,
behind which mammoth United
States flag swayed sinuously.

SHELL CONCRETE EMPLOYED.
Material Similar to That Used in the
Fifteenth Century.

The humble oyster. in addition to its
already we'll recognized services to hu-
manity, has added afresh to its laurels
by supplying material for skyscraper
construction. This may be not quite SO
new an achievement as would at first
blush appear, for the Oldest standing in
the United States today. erected by the
Spaniards in the fifteenth century In
st. Augustine, Fla, is built Of coquina,
a sort of plastic mortar or concrete COM
posed largely Of beach shells. The latest
shell structure is a f1ve-story building for
mercantile and office purposes. occupying
a space 120 by 45 feet. erected in the
heart of the business district Of Calves
ton. Tex, according to Cement Record.
This building is constructed OF con-
crete. the. coarse aggregate for which
consists of oyster shell taken from the
reefs Of Galveston bay. There is in the
building approximately 10000 pounds or
steel as reinforcing material. According
to the record of materials used in the
construction. there is something like 26,-
423 cubic feet Of concrete, which was
made by using to one part of LehfgA
cement two parts sharp sand and four
parts shell.

planning are contemplated for Bradley
Hills. Among these will be a so-called
English village, section in which the
old English type of architecture will be
followed exclusively in the designing of
homes. A large site on the top Of hill
which commands a view both toward the
aside for school purposes. Close to this
an open field will be reserved for athletic
purposes.
Only recently announcement was made
that a large tract toward the western
end of Bradley Hills had been reserved
for use by the newly organized Mont
gomery County Club, an exclusive or
ganization in which a number of promi-
nent society leaders are interested. The
clubhouse is to occupy the top Of gently
slOping hill. The surrounding territory
is we'll suited geographically for a golf
course. The electric road and boulevard
wind around the foot of this slope, Sc
that the proposed club will be accessible
both by automobile and trolley.
Bradley Hills, together with the other
extensive subdivisions which lie close to
it, will be benefited by reason of the
transportation facilities afforded by the
freight spur Of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad. This spur leaves the tracks of
the Metropolitan branch near Linden and
after touching Chevy Chase Lake makes
it way westward as far as the Conduit
road, where it turns toward the city and
follows the line of the canal into George
town. This branch freight line makes 1t
possible to transport coal, building ma
terial and other articles to the very CEN
ter of the section from Chevy Chase to
Bethesda, which is fast being developed
Formerly it was necessary to haul such
material from the city at considerable ex-
penSe.

UNIFORM CODES SUGGESTED.
Many Advantages Found in Stand.
ardized Building Regulations.

That the standardizing Of building codes
would be Of great help to architects,
builders and engineers in their work of
designing and erecting all classes of
structures is the conviction Of many of
those prominently identified with building
construction in leading cities of the coun-
try, according to Building News.
The point is made that there is no
particular reason why every city should
have a different unit value for steel, be-
cause it is well known that structural
steel as now manufactured is very uni
form In its quality and strength; neither
there any more reason for the differing
unit values or methods of calculating the
strength of reinforced concrete construc-
ton; likewise for the strength of various
types Of masonry construction, and it is
almost as true of the various forms of
timber construction.
The classification Of buildings accord
ing to Building Inspector V. D. Allen of
Cleveland could be standardized for all
cities and this in itself would simplify
and unity building codes materially.
Four ways have suggested themselves by
which this cooperation could be brought
about. First, a national organization of
inspectors or commissioners of buildings
to hold a meeting at stated periods; Sec
ond, a similar organization omitt.ng
meetings and conducting its work by
some system of correspondence: third, to
Journal to establish a department to
handle this kind of matter and request
officials Of various cities to give informa-
ton concerning their work; and, fourth,
to add to the annual reports of the in
spectors or commissioners Of buildings
information of this nature in accordance
with a general understanding among
them.

of the sales were to purchasers who
contemplate building homes in the
near future.
Several of the houses are to be of the

SO popular in Virginia Highlands. Be-
cause of the building regulations this
type Of construction has not proved
economical within the District, but is
being used with success in the suburbs.
While the District regulations will per-
init the erection of frame structures
with siX-inch walls, the construction of
reinforced concrete of this thickness is
prohibited.

The ride through the Bradley Hills
section from Wisconsin avenue to Great
Falls will be as picturesque as any trolley
trip around Washington. All Of Bradley
Hills is rolling country. In some places
it is thickly wooded and in others there
are large open spaces. Because OF the
absence of fiat stretches the natural
drainage of the tract is excellent.
The land for the most part Is fertile

Varies in Width.
This subdivision varies In width from
one-half to more than q mile and is
ten miles in length. 1t Is the largest sub
division around Washington, and is said
to be one Of the most extensive in the
country. The electric road winds its way
through the center of the property and
! will make accessible countless numbers
of fine home sites. The electric road is
to occupy the center of boulevard 100
| feet in width. which is to extend through
the entire length Of the tract. Lateral
| roads will traverse all parts Of the SUBJ
urb.
Already a narrow roadway runs paral-
lei with the electric road throughout its
entire length and eventually this will be
widened into its full width Of one hundred
feet When completed and properly sur
faced 1t should be one of the most pic
, turesque drives about Washington. 1t
will follow a series of valleys which
broaden out as they near the river.
| In Bradley Hills there are many out
| groupings of rock which Is well suited for

| suburbs lying to the northwest OF the
| city quantities Of good building rock are
! to be found. Already in Bradley Hills il
has been used for several residences, the
walls Of which are entirely of stone. II
has also been used in constructing resi-
dences which are half stone and hall
frame.
In clearing the right Of way for the

OF oak and chestnut timber have been
