WASTE PAPER

Fsvtunes for Men Wise Enough

Solved Problem.

The waste paper collection has
grown to be big industry within the
past few years and many business
houses in Keolcnk have invested IN
balers into which the VASE is baled |
and tied with wire rope. This Ia sold
to dealers. A few years ago waste
r,aper was considered a nuisance about |
q house or place of business and was
burned as rapidly as possible. Now
those houses where large quantities
OF waste aper is accumulated save 1t
and bale 1t and sell it. An exchange
dealing of various phases of this
question says:
Conservation In many lines is
studied today, and the by-products In
industry have made fortunes for the
men wise enough to ss- that the
despised and discarded may often
have plenty of good service left in 1t.
The fortunes that are being made in
waste paper give us an example. The
waste paper collector in the back
yard with his bag on his shoulder, or
more often today comfortable in his
cart, negotiating with the janitor-
who has learned that his bags of re-
fuse have yalue--is the emissary OF
the waste paper king For there are
more than steel and sugar and oil
and money kings in the big cities
now. The wora Of the waste paper
king is by no means the least i'm
portant of these.
The paper, after being collected
is sorted with precise care. The e1
perts know instantly to which orderl.
heap each stray sheet belongs. Their,
are hundreds of grades of paper, an,
to put the best paper with the cheap
er bundles would mean in the aggre
gate an enormous waste every day.

SOUTH CAROLINA YOUTH IN BAD.
j. l.. Harris. Of Pickens, in Trouble
With Atlanta Youth.
(.Atlanta Georgian, 11th.)

George Wiley's determination to
present his fiancee with a handsome
Christmas gift, regardless Of the pen
atty, has made him, at II, a self
confessed burglar. 1t was through
his sweetheart, upon whom he show
cred jewelry at the holiday season,
that the police implicated him in the
burglary of M. Friedman's grocery
store on December 10.
With j. l.. Harris, aged II, Of Pick
ems, S. c., Wiley faced Recorder Nash
Broyles yesterday afternoon, broke
down under the grilling and admit
ted his deed Harris, who had been
turned up by Wiley's statements, also
made & confession. Both were held
for the grand jury under $1,000
bond.
The first clew to the Friedman
robbely. in which some $1,000 worth
Of jewelry had been stolen from a
store and residence, came to the po-
lice when it was learned that Wiley
had a sweetheart living in Highland
avenue.
The young woman, proud Of a dia-
mond ring the boy had given her as
Christmas gift, readily showed the
gem to the police. 1t was identified
as part Of the loot taken from the
Friedman residence. Young Wi
ley, in admitting the burglary, told
the detectives a straight story. He
said that, with Harris and another
youth, he rented a room in the
Child's Hotel on December 10th and
carefully planned the job. The trio
left the hotel near midnight and
went out to Cooper street. At the
threshold of the Friedman place,
Wiley said, the third boy lost his
nerve and said he couldn't go on. So,
with Harris, the house was entered
and the jewelry taken.
When the police, working on the
famous French theory of look for
the woman" questioned the girl who
wore Wiley's Christmas gift, a soli-
taire, she admitted that the ring did
not fit her finger when Wiley first
presented 1T to her. at was too
large" she told the detectives. But
George said that he didn't know the
size Of my finger when he bought it..
He took it to jewelry store and had
1T cut down to fit"

AFTER Is YEARS welded LIFE
North Carolina Couple Pass Together
Into Better World.

Charlotte, Jan. 11.-Mr. and Mrs.
George Hicks lie dead at their
home, the old Garibaldi place, three
miles south Of the city, on the Pine
vile road. after rs years of welded
union their lives went out last night,
the husband preceding his wife into
the unknown realm by just ten min
utes. This afternoon at Ebenezer
churchyard they will be buried in one
grave.
The death Of Mr.. Hicks at $50
o'clock was the result Of fall from
wagon a few hours earlier. The
death of his wife at 7 resulted from
heart failure, caused by the accident
TO her husband.
At o'clock Mr.. Hicks had cut q
load Of oak wood for the city market,
placed 1t on his one-horse wagon and
started toward Charlotte, accompa-
MED by his son Cheatham. Less
than 800 yards from his home the
accident occurred which resulted in
the tragic ending OF two lives. The
right standard of the wagon snapped
in twain, releasing the pile Of wood
a large part of which fell to the
ground. Mr.. Hicks was unable to
retain his place, and falling, struck
the single tree and was knocked un-
der the wagon. The heavy vehicle
with the load of wood passed over
his body between the shoulder and
his legs, intiicting wounds which he
could not survive.
Mrs. Hicks suffered a stroke of pa
ralysis during last May, and for the
last few days had been unable to
leave her bed. When the mangled
body Of her husband was brought to
the home she tainted as soon as she
viewed the body. Mr.. Hicks was
wounded so seriously that he regain
ed consciousness for only short
while at time. A doctor was sum-
money and pronounced the wound
received as fatal. He never rallied,
and Mrs. Hicks was given attention,
but she died without regaining con-
seriousness.
