You have probably noted lately in

Rutherfordton, Chimney Rock and
Hendersonville, and, I am writing to
ask If your road from Bat Cave to

We are patching up our part of the
road from the Logan House to the
county line, and, If your part of this
road is not in good condition and you
could have it gone over and holes I'LL.
ed, it would make the trip much more
pleasant,
This trip will probably be made
about. the second week in August and
as it means great deal towards bring
ing Henderson,, Spartanbnrg and
Rutherford counties in closed touch
with each other, hope you will CO
operate with US in making the trip az.
pleasant as possible.
It was originally planned to make
the round trip in oHe day, but 1t Is
possible that one night will be spent
In Hendersonyille, and We would like.
for you to meet US at the county iine.r
or better still at F1acks, as it is
planned to take dinner there, and
they have promised to take of the

what is called IAN outdoor woman"
Her skin was smooth and girlish, and
her eyes, until recently, sparkled with

Mrs. Wilson's indoor life had been
devoted to books and artistic pur-

prizes in competition. Her socia1

her accustomed artistic and literary
recreation after she became mistress
OF the white house, but as the first
lady of the land" she was ever ready
with advice and material help, wher- |
ever good cause might be served.
Her domestic life is described as
having been attractive. she had a |
knowledge of the domestic arts, and
was a good cook. 1t is related of her |
that she liked to prepare dishes, or |
have them prepared under her per- |
sonal supervision for the president,
and that she always made it a point |
to personally prepare for him the I
orange juice he has with, his break

Des Moines, June 16.-Prcgress in

Thumb Schews" was his topic.
From this he led up TO methods Of

There have been laundering instru-
ments of torture in all ages" said the
chaplain. 'but the thumb screw Is
comparatively delicate and belongs to
the fine art of persecution. You could
carry it in your pocket oil unobserved.
This instrument Of torture was put
upon the thumb and sometimes, not al
ways, changed a mans opinion. In all
reforms there have been thumb screws.

emancipation from this tyranny. We
need more liberty in the method of
helping men up more liberty in the

wheel and in front of that wheel, and

stage. The only way to do so is to get
on the box and help the driver direct

almost every reform has been
started by men whom the inert de-
nounced as fanatics. Fanaticism dies

tiers are wrong, then argue. reason.
persuade, but do not bring threats or
violence, or anything that can be mis-
taken for the thumb screw. The re-

who have the wider vision.
