WATER TANK GIVES WAY.
Big Tub Near IIarvin Street CROSSING
Crashes to Ground.

The Atlantic Coast Lines big water
tank near the Harvin street crossing
gave way this morning, and with a
crash and thud that could be heard
for blocks around, the timbers and
water came to the ground. The wa
ter was splashed in all directions for
n distance of a hundred feet or more
and the ground under the tank was
flooded with the water from a full
tank.
Two buildings ALONGSIDE the tank
were crushed in by the falling tim
bers and water. although their con-
tents, it is thought, were not badly
damaged. The buildings were owned
by the Atlantic Coast Line and were
used for storing goods. Parts of
wagons and farm machinery were in
the building at the time. The debris
was piled up and put out of the way
by the section hands in a short time
and trench dug for the water to
run Off
Luckily there was no one near
enough to the tank when it gave way
to be nit by the falling timbers. 1t
Is supposed that one of the steel
bands around the tank broke and
this was given as the probable cause
Of che smash-up.

TOR NEW BlSHOPVILLE SCHOOL

Building.

bishopVille, Dec. 23.-Bishopvi,le
mas not waited until the new year to
make RESOLUTIONS but today by q unan-
ilnous vote resolved to build q new
nigh school building, by this vote oro-
NlulnG the machinery for securing, the
luhds with which to carry ont This
mosc praiseworthy undertaking. The
vote was not quite as full as it was de-
sired that it should be but still il is
noteworthy that &C those participating
not single one was opposed to the
issue. 1t has been recognized for some
tlme by those in close touch with The
situation that everything in Bishop
vile has outgroWn her school faoili-
'ies. The present building which is n
very large one and was erected only
q lew years ago has been overcrowd
eo LOT some time, so much SO as not
only to make good and effective school
work, almost impossible. but to on
uanSer che health of the pupjls in
attendance, hence the action of today.
Even the school Of this city has
suffered in the past from it's supp0rters
pelng divided into factions Today's
action only tends to confirm what ha.,
peen stated before-that BishoDv,lle
has outgrown such things to a very
largo extent and has at last realized
tnat she has reached maturity, hence
she has put away childish things.
An auSury of things to come is the
fact that the young men are to a large
extent in the saddle here now, and this
action is for the most part the work
of men who have no children of
school age. SThc banks o. this town
are all Oficered by comparatively
young men, the council is for the most
part young men, the school board is
composed Of young men, most Of the
business establishments are cnducted
10y young men. But, to use a slang
expression, the young men are not the
whole show" the older men have
progressed along with the younger.

Department Of Justice officials de-
clare that every day representatives
Of business concerns are calling to
learn what they can or can not do UNI
der the law. While officials stated en-
phatically that prosecutions would
not be discontinued where they were
warranted, cooperation would be used
wherever possible to secure an OBJ
servance of the Jaw.

partment is at work on plans submit
ted by other corporations for friendly
settlements. Just which ones they are

of his administration to cooperate i'm
every way it logitimatcly could to
bring about a satisfactory understand
ing Of the law by the business men

partmcnts did not expect to raise bar

CONIERS UPON OWENRSHIP.
Wilson Talks With BurlesOn on
Government Ownership.

Washington, Dec. 22.-Although
Postmaster General Burleson in his
annual report favored the principle
of government ownership of telegraph
and telephone lines, President Wilson
has not taken n position on the ques-
tion and has not made up his mind.
The postmaster general had q long
conference with the president today,
and it is understood that was one OF
of the subjects under discussion. 1t is
not believed the administration will
take any dehnite position on the sub
ject now.
After his conference with the pres
ident, Mr.. Burlesor manifested an in
disposition to discuss the subject.
1T will take some time" he said,
however, to work out the problem,

that he did not consider it of imme-

CHILDREN LOVE
SYRUP OF FIGS
It is cruel to force nauseating,
harsh physic into a

Look back at your childhood days.
Remember the dose" mother insisted
on-castor oil. calomel, cathartics.
How you hated them, how you fought
against taking them.
With our children it's different.
Mothers who cling to the old form OF
physic simply don't realize what they
do. The children's revolt is well-found-
ed. Their tender little "insides" are
injured by them.
If your child's stomach. liver and
bowels need cleansing. give only deli
cious California Syrup of Figs" Its
action is positive, but gentle. Millions
of mothers keep this harmless fruit
laxative" handy; they know children
love to take 1t; that it never fails to
clean the liver and bowels and sweet
en- the stomach, and that teaspoonful
given today saves sick child tomor-
row.

of all ages and for grown-ups plainly
