HOLT PURCHASES
 ROCK CRUSHfR.
From Wednesdays Daily.

From Wednesdays Daily.
 After the machine had met the claims made for it by the manufac- turers in a satisfactory manner, Coun- : ty Judge J. w. Holt yesterday after noon closed the deal for the purchase of the rock crusher shipped here sever-l al weeks ago by the J. 1. Case Thresh-r ing Machine Go. :. test run was made for a portion of the day yesterday on the Blaney hill two miles north of Conway, about 60 yards of crushed stone being produced. Judge Holt said that he and Road Commissioner Me Henry made close estimates of the cost of operation and figured that stone could be crushed, hauled an average distance of one-half mile and placed on the roads at cost of 40 cents per yard. The stone found at Blaney hill is said to be excellent in quality and well adapted to making roads.
 Judge Holt stated that the crusher will be run at times when the services of the road district overseer and crew
 were not needed elsewhere, and that at
 least half mile and probably a mile of macadam road will be built extend ing north from Blaney hill. The offi- cers expect this road to be given a thorough test during the coming win ter, and if it proves satisfactory, mac adam road building on large scale. will be inaugurated next year.

Faithful Unto Death.

"One of the bravest acts | witnessed
during the whole war;" said an officer
Of the Army Of Northern Virginia,
was that of a young soldier, who was
probably not over sixteen. We had
thought of him as only a boy, although
he went with the regiment on all of
its marches, and lived with it in all
its encampments.
"One day there was a fierce engage
ment. In the midst of it a bullet struck
this boy in the breast, and he fell. Our
colonel ordered his men to dismount,
and as he himself sprang from his
horse, the boy called out in a weak
voice, I will hold your horse, colonel

CITY OF THE DEAD
Wonders of Fatehpur Sikri, in
Center of Hindustan.
City of Untrodden Streets Which for
Nearly Four Centuries Has. Been
Deserted by all Save the Jack
al and the Leopard.

London.-To the south of Agra, In
the center of Hindustan, lies the
great city of Fatehpur Sikri, a city Of
untrodden streets, which for nearly
four centuries has been deserted by
all save the jackal and the leopard
and a few humble a who find
refuge beneath its lofty walls, writes
p. Il. Etherton in London, Graphic.
History has no parallel in the astound-
ing collection of palaces and halls,
c~ourtyards, the whole created, one
might say, On the spur of the moment,
as the outcome of a kingly whim,
and as suddenly deserted. The city
Of Fatehpur Sikri stands, as 1T was
left, in a state of astonishing preser-
walton.
Mohammedan history tells us that
the creation of Fatehpur Sikri was due
to the prophecy of a saint. The EN-
peror Akbar, who ruled in India in
the sixteenth century, halted on the
site of the city when returning from
his great conquests of western India,
to interview the saint in question and
secure his prayers for a son and heir,
Akbar being then childless. The adj
vice of the saint was to the effect
that the emperor send for his So
called Portuguese Christian wife to re-
side at 'Fatehpur. This was done, and
in due course a son was born to Ak
bar, who afterwards became, the EN-

that the child may have been one
substituted by the saint for a royal
infant that was still-born. To COM
memorate the birth Akbar caused the
great city to be erected, and it is a
lasting memorial to the genius Of it's
builder and the skill displayed in the
carving and decoration of it's m
Gus palaces. It's lofty walls extend
for seven miles, and the city itself
stands upon a commanding range of
hills, approach thereto being by even
different gateways. The photographs
show what a beautiful city it was,
and interest in it was enhanced by
the mystery which surrounds 1t. All
that is known is that it was occupied
for a few years, and then abandoned,
the court being removed to Agra.
There are buildings innumerable in
this weird city of the dead, among
the most remarkable being the Panch
Mahal, a five-storied structure, which
stands u%nrivaled, since every one of
the countless columns on which it's
tiers are supported is of a different
design.
To achieve this unique object it is
said that each column "a entrusted

FOR A TUBERCULOSIS CENSUS
Arrangements Made to Have II Taken
in Churches Some Time Dur
ing September.

A tuberculosis census of thousands
of churches in various parts of the
country will be taken in September,
under the direction of the National AS
ISOLATION for the Study and Proven
ton OF tuberculosis. The census will
be part of the preparation for the
fifth annual tuberculosis day to be
observed during the week Of Novem-
Der 20.
The ministers Of several thousand
churches will be asked to report on
the number OF deaths from tubercu-
losis in the last year, the number of
living cases In their parishes on Sep
TENDER 1, the number Of deaths from
all causes, and the number Of mem
bers or communicates. These figures
will be made the basis of an educa-
tional campaign, which will eliminate
in the tuberculosis day movement, for
which occasion sermon and lecture
outlines and other forms OF tubercu-
losis literature will be distributed free
to ministers.
Last year nearly $4,000 churches,
schools and other bodies took part in
the Tuberculosis day observance. The
movement had the endorsement of
leading church officials of every de-
nomination. More than 1900 anti-tu-
berculosis societies scattered all over
the country will work this year to
make tuberculosis day a success.

o q separate carver, who was thus
given IN opportunity Of displaying
his skill, and many are the exquisite
results Of their work. The glory of
Fatehpur Sikri is the great Gate Of
Victor, the highest and grandest of its
kind in India, towering $50 feet above
the ground level, and built by Akbar
after his conquest of southern India.
Beneath the southern battlements
Of the city is the Hinar, or Deer
tower, standing 20 feet in height, and
studded with elephants tusks carved
out of pure white stone. From the
summit of this shooting stand, the
emperor picked off the game which
had been driven in from the surround
ing jungles by a vast army of beaters.
Another Of the gems Of Fatehpur is
the well near the Gate Of Victory. 1t
is 80 feet in diameter, and from the
walls above a man dives into 1t from a
height of 100 feet, which must surely
be one Of the worlds highest plunges.
Throughout the city are terraces
and towers, throne rooms and gar
dens, palaces and many-acred court
yards, all deserted and untrodden,
and invested with a sense Of loneli-
ness and mystery such as surrounds
no other spot in the world.

NEW iDEA
Helped Wisconsin Couple.

1t doesn't pay to stick too closely
to old notions of things. New ideas
often lead to better health, success
and happiness.
A Wis. couple examined an idea
new to them and stepped up several
rounds on the health ladder. The
husband writes:
Several years ago we suffered from
coffee drinking, were s%leepless, nerv-
Gus, sallow, weak and irritable. My
wife and / both loved coffee and
thought it was a bracer." (Delusion.)
Finally, after years Of suffering, we
read of Postum and the harmfulness
of coffee, and believing that to grow
we should give some attention to new
ideas, we decided to test Postum.
When we made 1t right We liked
it and were free Of Ills caused by
coffee. Our friends noticed the
change-fresher skin, ,sturdier nerves.,
better temper, etc.
These changes were not sudden,
but increased as We continued to
drink and enjoy Postum. and we lost
the desire for coffee.
MANY Of our friends did not like
Postum at first, because they did not
make it right. But when they made
Postum according to directions on
pkg, they liked 1t better than coffee
and were benefited by the change"
