Certain Lines Of Conduct Which 1t
ls Asserted No Dog Dares
overstes.

Every animal lover can tell numer.
Gus stories illustrating the devotion OF
animals to their human protectors.
Anecdotes of one animal riskfng its
life to save another are rare, but still
sufficiently numerous and authentic to
leave no doubt as to the occasional ex-
istence of deep love between ami
mails. But any close observer OF ma
ture will know that there exists
throughout the brute creation a sort
OF rough moral system which, in the
case Of domestic animals, translates
itself into what really amounts to a
code Of etiquette.
The old proverb, THE dog with a
bone has many friends" Is nothing
else than recognition Of canine ETH
quette. II does not matter how small
Is the dog with the bone. 1t may be
a Pomeranian surrounded by mastiffs.
The mastifPs will still remain friendly.
They will hover round the Pomeran-
ian, perhaps whining for a morsel
(which is never offered, and eagerly
picking UP any splinter that may be
dropped. when nothing would be cas-
Ter than to bowl the little dog over
and seize the bone.
You will notice, further, that the lit
tie dog becomes filed with new
courage, presumably in the moral con-
sciousness OF the justice of his claim,
and will growl. and even snap at q
dog he otherwise feors IL the latter
should come too close.
But the moment dog drops his
bone new rule Of etiquette operates,
for 1t becomes the property Of the
first dog who cares to pick it up. True,
q dispute will sometimes arise as to
whether the bone has actually been
dropped within the meaning of the
act" But once this is clear the law
OF the bone will be observed by all

OF a succession OF steps which have
the appearance of being built artif-
cially as they show on the river
bluff.
Many engineering difficulties had to
be overcome. inasmuch as great
concrete statue had never before been
made. The statue contains, about two
tons of twisted steel reinforcing and
approximately 240 cubic yards Of con-
crete. twenty tons of which consists
OF pink granite screenings, giving it
the appearance of granite statue.
More than $1,000 gallons Of water
was pumped up from the river for
maintaining two steam engines and
for mixing the concrete. Four hun
dred and twenty barrels OF cement
were used In forming the mixture.
The first model was OF plaster and
only eight inches high, the next was
two feet high and the third six feet.
This last served as the working mod
ell and was enlarged by careful meas-
urement to frame Of scantlings

whole figure had been framed In lum-
Der wire netting was stretched over
the timbers, and this in turn was
covered with burlap for surface.
Later the burlap was painted with
plaster OF paris to stiffen it and then
subjected to coat Of clay water to
insure it's release from the mold lat
er on. Meanwhile the head was mod
elled In clay and cast by the usual
process, the piece mold being saved
for use again In casting the concrete.
A three-inch mold was next made
over the figure, about ten tons OF
plaster being used for this purpose.
with many heavy timbers for support.
The scaffolding was then taken out
and a steel reinforcing tower eight
feet in diameter was built in Its
place. This tower ran the entire
length Of the body, ending in a dome
just below the neck, and was design
ed to support the head and shoulders
of solid concrete.
The final work Of casting was done
in the middle of winter, ten days be-
ing required for this work, with two
crews Of fourteen men each working
In day and night shifts. When the
mold was full heat was applied for
two days, and then the sp@at OF

O THOU INCONSISTENCY!

In a vain but belabored effort 20
show some evil effects of the Wilson
administration, the Western Carolina
Times subjected itself to a grave and
gross inconsistency last week when in
answer to the mass of statistics given
under the caption of "1ts Time to
Take Stock" prepared by W. G. Rector,
the newly elected president of the pull
fishing company, it gave a news story
which contradicted the carefully pre-
pared trade figures.
We would further call the attention
of the Times and it's contributor to the
fact that in making comparisons of
trade conditions it compares the
month of September of this year with
October of 1912, instead of giving
figures for corresponding months OF
the two years.
In an effort to show that there is a
general decline in business causing q
surplus of more than 10000 freight
cars against a shortage of $4,000 las
year, Mr.. Rector quotes the following
Ia which he call an unbiased man

Col. Ashley Horne was flashed over
the wires on Thursday of last week
an almost innumerable host of admir-
ers bowed their heads in sorrow.
Only the day before, Colonel Horne
had been a visitor to the State Fair
and appeared in fine form. But soon
after the return to his home in Clay
ton an acute attack of heart trouble
resulted in his death. Colonel Horne
was one of the States best citizens
and had made a great success in life.
His record during the civil war was
one of courage and heroism, and as a
patriotic citizen since peace was de-
clared there were few in his class.

F. S. WETMUR VISITS
WESTERN FARMS

For the purpose of interesting the
farmers of the Middle West in Hender-
son County, Mr.. F. S. Wetmur left on
the Carolina Special, Wednesday
night, for Kansas City. He will re-
main in the West about one month.
Mr.. Wetmur goes as the accredited
representative of the Greater Hender-
sonville club. The funds for the nee
essary expenses have been furnished
by the banks of the city, the real es-
tate men and a few public spirited CIT
liens to whom the matter made a
special appeal. Mr.. Wetmur carries
with him an ample supply of suitable
advertising matter prepared by the
club especially for this purpose, in
Guiding many photographs, and in addi-
ton several samples of Henderson
county's agricultural products. Nota-
hle among these products is a fine ex-
hibit of corn furnished by Mr.. A. Can
non.
This distribution of this advertising
matter, the personal talks Mr.. Wetmur
will have with the men of the West
will amply repay the cost of the trip.
AS Mr.. r. G. Clarke remarked, ct will
put Henderson county in a section
where it never has been before"
Should any of the Westerners be
induced to visit here and buy property,
sill the real estate men have agreed to
cooperate in satisfying him. In this
particular matter, as in the st. Peters
burg colony, the real estate men have
agreed to sink their individual inter-
ests in the good of the community.
This is really the birth of a real estate
exchange for Observation-Disclosures
thing which is vastly desirable.
