bonds issued on account of any pub
lie utility when the income from such
utility reaches the standard now set
for waterworks bonds. He adds:
"The recommendation is submitted
for the repassage of the bill as a
matter of good faith with your hon.
orable body and for the further rea-
son that the public interests will be
conserved by this legislation. The
Mills bill will establish the wisdom
of municipal ownerhip where occa-
sion calls for it, and with equal force
reveal any lack of the necessity of
the project If that should be the case
in other cities"
Notwithstanding extraordinary dis.
bursements occasioned by floods, ETC.,
the governor says there is in the
state treasury today more money
than at any time in the history of
the state. He adds: "The present
satisfactory condition of the states
finances is due, in considerable de-
gree, to the policy of making each
state department, which is operated
for the regulation of business, self
supporting, by the collection of fees
from the interests which profit by
state supervision"
Governor Cox concludes: "The
state tax commission has just sub
mitted report which shows that if
the Warnes taxation law had not
been passed the cost to the counties
in Ohio, assuming that no increase
were made over 1912, would have
been $2,373,839. The commission es.
Inmates that at an outside figure the
cost this year of assessing real and

Thrown From Horse.

Mrs. w. W. Sheppard was
thro wn from her horse Thursday
and was painfully bruised. While
riding from her home to town the
stirrup broke, causing her to lose
control of the horse which was &C.
ing at rapid gait. When opposite
the Grice Hotel Mrs. Sheppard was
thrown against a wagon as the
horse turned. She was carried at
once into the Grice Hotel and
physician summoned. At first it was
thought that she had sustained Sc
rious injuries as a result of the
violent fall, but upon making an
examination the physician stated
that there was no serious or perma-
nent injury Mrs. Sheppard is an
experienced rider and would not
nave fallen had not the stirrup brok-
en-. The day after the fall she was
removed to her home and will be
able to be out in a few days.

Composition on "The Cow" by
Alexander Popham of the
Deestrick Skule.

There is great many kinds of
COWS, will name few of them.
The cow boy, the COW frog, the
COW dog, the steer and the milk
cow. The only cow that counts for
much is the milk COW. John Bull
who comes to school must be cow
boy, because his nav is name Sallie
COW and he is not milk cow. Cow
boys and steers is kin somehow.
Steers is not very good for milk.
Daniel Webster says that the cow
is illustrated animal containing
milk. Besides we get cream, clabber,
butter, buttermilk, cheese and whey
out of the cow, The COW carries
her milk around in bag, and gives
out little every night and morn
ing. don't know how the cow gets
the milk in her bag but we have to
work hard to get it out. When We
get it all out she is dry and it takes
her long time to fill up again. The
COW always gets to be grass wild
ow, because her husband quits her
and then she has to live OH grass.

Johnston Well Represented.

1t was very gratifying to the
Edse6eld people, particularly those
who were directly interested IN the
success of the play, to see 80 many
persons from Johnson in the audi
ence Monday night, which is but
one of the many evidences OF the
very cordial relations that exist DE.
tween the two towns. Instead OF
being Jealous and envious OF the
success of each other, as are some
small towns, Johnston and hdse-
field rejoice at each others success.
Our people must remember the
splendid patronage which the people
of Johnston gave the Deestrlck
Skule and when an entertainment
is announced for Johnston our peo-
ple must in turn patronize 1t large
ly. We feel sure that such will be
the case. The Advertiser stands
ready to make any announcement
concerning any entertainment that
that the good people of Johnston
may undertake.

Lost Heavily by Fire.

About three o'clock Monday
morning Mr.. Wylie Glover, one Of
the leading farmers of the Meri-
wether section, awoke to find his
barn enveloped in flames. 1t is be
lieved that the building was struck
by lightning. Mr. Glover's loss was
about $4,000, with no insurance.
In addition to the building, three
mules, two valuable horses, corn,
fodder, cotton seed, commercial fer
,ilizers and far:u implements were
burned. Mr.. Glover came to Edge
field Monday to purchase some
stock to take the place of that
which vas burned. He came up
Mr. Henry Cooper in the latter's
car.
Early Monday morning number
of Mr.. G!over's neighbors volunta-
rily came together and offered to
render substantial aid in rebuilding
his barn. This is an evidence of the
high esteem in which Mr.. Glover
is held by the people of the commu-
nifty. The Advertiser commends
most heartily this beautiful spirit
and substantial manifestation of
sympathy.

Will went to the home of RaEnp
near Macedonia church and resumed
the quarrel after entering the house.

Hamp took his pistol from drawer
and fired twice upon Will, one ball
taking effect in the arm and the
other in his side. 1t is said that
Will vas in the act of drawing a
pistol ut the time he was fired up
on. Will was operated on and his
intestines were found to be puG ;tur-

the intcstines. At this time he is
still living but the chances for his
recovery are slim. Hamp surrender

ta,ion, while Hamp on the contrary
is quiet. Woodworking negro.
