FIRE PREVENTION PREVENTS.

Fire Chief E. N. Kurtz is quoted
as saying that this is the first time
in years that there have been no
fires in Columbia during a severe
cold period such as we have had
during the last week. And the
statement is true. There is not a
person who lived in the town even
as short a period as three years
ago, who does not remember the
number of fires which used to
break out here in the winter time.
There used to be a joke among
the students at that time when the
fires were so numerous. Have
you made your date with Mary Tor
Jane or Sarah, or anybody else in
the coed world) to take her to the
fire tonight?" they would ask. And
everyone would laugh. 1t often
happened that three dates a week
would be filled by watching fires.
But that is all changed now. |
Since the doctrine of fire preven-
ton has been so widely preached
there have been fewer and fewer
fires, until now the percentage of
fires for the year is much lower
than ever before in the history of
the town. And all this is the re-

For all we have and are,
For all our children's fate,
Stand up and meet the war.
The Hun is at the gate!
Our world has passed away
In wantonness o'erthrown.
There is nothing left today
But steel and fire and stone!
Though all we knew depart,
The old commandments stand:-
I'm courage keep your heart,
In strength lift up your hand"
Once more we hear the word
That sickened earth of old
mo law except the Sword
Unsheathed and uncontrolled"
Once more it knits mankind,
Once more the nations 60
To meet and break and bind
A crazed and driven foe.
Comfort, content, delight,
The ages slow-bought gain,
They shrivelled in a night,
Only ourselves remain
To face the naked days
In silent fortitude
Through perils and dismays
Renewed and re-renewed.
Though all we made depart,
The old commandments stand
I'm patience keep your heart,
In strength lift up your hand"
No easy hopes or lies
Shall bring US to our goal,
But iron sacrifice
Of body, will and soul.
There is but one task for all
For each one life to give.
Who stands II freedom fell?
Who dies IL England live?

It's Easy-If You Know DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets

The secret Of keeping young is to
feel young--to do this you must watch
your liver and bowels-theres no need
of having a sallow complexion--darl1
rings under your eyes-pimples--a bill
ious look in your face-dull eyes with
no sparkle.
Your doctor will tell you ninety per
cent Of all sickness comes from inactive
bowels and liver.
Dr. Edwards. a well-known physician in
Ohio. perfected a vegetable compound
mixed with olive oil to act on the liver aud
bowels, which he gave to his patients for
years.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets, the substi-
tute for calomel, are gentle in their action,
yet always effective.
They bring about that exuberance of
spirit, that natural buoyancy which should
be enjoyed by everyone, by tonng up the
liver and clearing the system of impurities.

CONTENDS THAT RAILROADS
ARE NOT LIABLE
New Turn in State Rate Litigation
Which May Render Valueless All
Refund Claims Against the
Railroad Companies.

Little Rock, Jan. 13.-Judge Jacob
Triber, in the United States court,
has now under consideration a new
turn in the state rate litigation, which
if decided according to the contentious
of John M. Moore, special attorney
for the Iron Mountain and Cotton
Belt railroads, will render valueless
every refund claim filed against those
railroads.
1t is the claim of the railroad at
torney that the action of Judge Triber
when he made permanent the injunc-
ton granted to the railroads against
the state passenger and freight rates,
in Diminishing the bonds filed by the
railroads, leaves the shippers without
recourse in the recovery of over
charges. They contend that the rail-
roads are not liable, and the bonds
men have passed out of the proceed
ings.
Judge Joseph NJ. Hill, representing
Illc pcOpic VI AIhdIlSdS dISuSu
against this contention for several
hours Monday afternoon, when Judge
Moore had completed his argument,
after which Judge Triber took the
matter under advisement. Judge Hill
declared that the dismissal of the
bonding companies was coupled with
the order making the injunction per-
manent, and it was this order that the
Supreme Court of the United States
reversed. He argued that the revisal
of the injunction carried with it the
effect of wiping out the court order
regarding the bonding company.
Judge Hill admitted that the rail-
road company could not be held res
ponsible for damages, or for costs.
The new phase in the case grew
out of suits filed by a mercantile con-
