The next sitting of the superior court for the district is in July, 1914. so FoIger. with a forgiVing smile for his opponents, climbed into his car and started it off again. Before starting on the mail route. however, Mir. Fol ger announced that he would see the case through to the end, promising to take it to the federal supreme court at Washington, if such procedure re- quired ten years. Meanwhile he an nounced, he would continue to drive his car.
 Though a considerable amount of ill-feeling has been stirred up the by the case, Folger is in no way vim dictive, for on the day he was cited to appear in court, he gave one of the selectmen a ride and after the trial took Chief of Police Gibbs on a little joy ride to Scianscott The se- lectmen have decided that about the only way to get Folger's Overland off the island is to capture it some dark night and dump it overheard, where the water is deep.

NJ AUTOMOBILES FOR
 NANTUCKET RESIDENTS

The little island of Nantucket, off the coast of Massachusetts, is in d furore these days because of what is regarded as d daring violation of the statutes made and provided" A merry legal war is occupying the attention of the courts, simply be- cause Clinton S. Folger, d mail car rier, likes motoring.
 The trouble, in which MT Folger has thus far been victorious, dates back several months to the time when the mail carrier purchased a 1914 model Overland touring car in Bos- ton. In spite of the fact that auto mobiles have been vigorously denied admission to the island, Mir. Folger brought his new purchase home and has since, with the exception of the time he has spent in court, been de- livering in it. The officials of the island were much wrought up when Citizen Folger trangressed by intro- ducing his gasoline car in the hitherto sacred precincts. They remonstrated with the mail carrier, but to no avail. He made it clear that his citizenship entitled him to deliver mail in any sort of a vehicle he saw fit.
 Seeing that words were useless, big delegation of Nantucket citizens travelled to Boston and had the Mas sachusetts Highway Commission pass an exclusion law prohibiting the use of motor cars on the island. But Folger kept right on driving his Overland Then the island officials put their heads together and decided to ask for an injunction But there was nothing doing. The injunction

Glad He Was Right.

Charles Cochran, who arranged

the Wonder Zoo at Olympia, London,
recently told this story:
"A crowd of little boys was stand
ing about the entrance Of a travel
ing circus, each trying to get a
glimpse of the wonders within. An
elderly gentleman, who looked as
kind-hearted and benevolent as
Father Christmas, happened to. be
passing. He. stopped and smiled
first at the boys and then at the
man guarding the entrance. This
man smiled back, and so did the
boys, then, as he put his hand in his
trousers pocket the old gentleman
said to the attendant:
LET all those boys in and count
them as they pass
There was a chorus of "Oh, thank
you, sir" from the grateful boys,
and the attendant counted swiftly as
they trooped in. AS the last boy
disappeared within the tent he turn
ed to the kind hearted old gentle
man:
Thirty. sir" he said.
That's good" said the old gentle
man happily. Il guessed just
right" Then he continued his walk.

was in circulation that business men
found it advantageous to use a coun.

A storekeeper in a New Hampshire
village came into possession of a
banknote which he strongly suspect
ed to be counterfeit, so he sent it to
a nearby city in charge Of an old stage
driver for examination.
On two successive trips the old
fellow forgot his particular errand.
A third time he was charged with it
in terms unmistakably strong. Again
he forgot. Fearing to confess his
carelessness, he resolved to brave it
out somehow.

VESUVIUS CAUSES ALARM.
Giant Old Volcano in Eruption Makes
People Pray.

Naples, November 2.-Mount We
suvius is again in eruption and the
inhabitants in it's vicinity have be-
come greatly alarmed. On Sunday
special prayers were made and pro-
cessions of people went to favored
shrines as a repetition of the disaster
of 1906 is feared.
The activity of the volcano first
manifested itself by deep detonations
and rumblings. This was followed
by gigantic columns of smoke and
soon thereafter an abundant eruption
of lava began.
The last serious eruption Of Mount
Vesuvius occurred in the spring OF
1906. Several villages were Destroy
ed and the property loss was estimat-
ed at s2O,OO0,O00. About 500 per-
sons were killed and fifty thousand
were rendered homeless. Many ma
tions, especially the United States,
sent aid to the sufferers.
There have been several eruptions
since 1906, but all were of a minor
character and no serious losses re-
suited.

great violence Saturday morning and
Ellee Ghlzal, a young clerk and a
brother of Mrs. Courie, was severely
injured by flying fragments and boil
ing water.
The explosion was caused by the
water running low underneath the
roaster. Young Ghlzal was standing
a few feet away and caught the full

and the lower part of his body was

off in flakes.

explosion occurred and there was
considerable excitement. Ghlzal ran
out into the middle of Main street
and sank upon the ground groaning
in agony. He was hurried to ply

ferings while his wounds were being
dressed.
The roaster was blown into frag-

DISASTROUS FIRE.
Several Buildings in Orangeburg Are
Destroyed.

Orangeburg, Oct. 31.-The most
disastrous fire for years occurred
here late this afternoon. The fire
originated in one of four stable build
ings on St. John street, in the heart
of business block, On which are
thickly located many business houses.
The fire consumed the stables on ST..
John street in short time, giving
the firemen no chance to do any
fighting. The flames spread rapidly
toward Main street, consuming the
only remaining wooden buildings in
the block on Main street. This build
ing was owned by S. 4. Stroman, as
was also one stable destroyed. The
other stables were owned and occu-
pied by Slater Brothers, L. G..
Hughes, Bolen & Doyle. A number
of horses were burned to death, own
ed by Henry Slater and Others. The
buildings of the Elliott Hook and
Ladder company and H. Won Osen,
on Main street, and the two-story
wooden building of E. E. Cutler. St.
John street, were damaged, the Elliott
building to a great extent. The ad-
vantage of an adequate water supply
and efficient fire force was fully dem
onstrated at this fire, which might
have destroyed the whole square. 1t
is impossible at this time to obtain
details as to the losses and insurance.
