Fooled Once.

Little Francis was not to be fool
ed twice.
The heavy black clouds had
massed in the east and west, the
lightning was flashing fiercely be-
tween the heavy, ircessant rolling
of The the thunder.
Francis was terribly frightened
and his fond mother had gathered
her young hopeful into her arms
and tried logically to calm his fears.
Don't be afraid, darling There's
nothing to fear. God sends the
thunderstorm to clear the air, water
the flowers, and make it cooler for
us. Now, don't cry, dear; it won't
harm yor. and everything will be
better when its over"
The little fellow listened intently
and as his mother finished he look
ed up at her gravely, and said' No,
no, mother, you talk exactly the
way you did last week when you
took me to the dentist, to have my
tooth pulled" Chicago Sunday

The Country Home.

In spring the robins hover round;
The bluebirds sing in glee;
The chipmunks scamper DER the
ground,
And chatter merrily;
The farmer whistles as he turns
The fresh and fragrant loan;
His heart with loving ardor burns
For this, his country home.
In summertime the toll and stress
Of harvest is severe;
And yet, withal, the joys that bless
The farmers life are here;
With boys and girls to sport and play
Beneath the skys blue dome,
And her his helpmeet all life's
way
The heart of this, his home.
In Autumn life is rich and full
With natures ripened store
OF golden gifts to pick and pull
And garner safe before
Jack Frost arrives in time to touch
With breath like light seatoam-
To blast these blessings priced so
much
In wintertime the farmer reads,
And cultivates his mind;
Some time for heart and social
needs
This season he can find;
Let tempests snarl and howl out
side,
He has no need to roam;
In peace and comfort he may bide
In this, his country home

When this question was up in 1912 SEN
ator Stone appeared before the conven.

strongly to declare against the single
tax. This was the first positive leclara
ton by any man of prominence in eit1el
party concerning this question, anteda1-

Upon the insistence Of Senator Stone.
the Democratic state platform declared
unequivocally against the offensive tax

that action because of Senator stones

in nearly all of Senator Stones ap4eail.,s,
he denounced the single tax in the
course of his discussion of the issues,

HUNDREDS ARE DEAD:
BATTLE STILL RACES
Wounded Federal Soldiers Struggle
Across Border and Plead With
American Soldiers For Helm

PreSidio, Texas, Jan. 1.-The bat
tie at Ojinaga. Mexico, between the
northern division of the Mexican
federal army and rebels, continued
this morning after having been in
progress all night. Five or six hun
dred federals had already been killed
and the wounded will be far in excess
of that number.
Horrifying sights were witnessed
on the American side before daylight.
The wounded soldiers with shattered
arms, legs shot off and injuries that
later proved fatal, struggled through
the river and pleaded to the Ameri-
can soldiers for help.
All the physicians and medical sup
plies available here were placed at the
service of the disabled federals. Be
fore daylight more than 200 wounded
had sought relief on this side. Some
Of these were so badly injured that
they begged the American soldiers to
kill them.
From the war SCARED little village
OF Ojinaga back mile from the river
there came what appeared to be an
endless tide of wounded. The fight
on the border here had the appear
ance of being the most sanguinary
conflict of the present rebellion.
Federal deserters also came to the
river in great numbers. indicating
that Huerta's army was disposed to
give up. All the deserters who were
not wounded. however, were disarm-
ed on this side and sent back by
Major McNamee, commanding the
United States border patrol. Major
McNamee has more than 800 guns
which he took from deserters.
During the night the groaning of
the wounded on the battlefield on the
opposite side of the river could be
heard by the American cavalrymen.
The firing in the darkness seemed to
be heavier than it had ever been.
All women, children and non-com-
batants of Ojinaga came to the river
and were taken to the American side.
The little Red Cross headquarters
on this side where the rederad wound
ed are being cared for now is as ac-
tive as field hospital on a battle
field.

TAKE III OUT OF POLITICS.

MIR. w. II. Hand, state high school
inspector, as will be seen elsewhere
in this issue, makes strong plea
that the Office of state superintendent
of education should be taken
out of the primary and be
made elective by a state edu-
cational board elected by the peo-
pie for a term of six years. He sug-
gests that the board consist of one
member from each congressional dis
trict. The argument holds good also
as t othe county superintendent of
education. They also should not be
up to the uncertain event of pri-
mary election. They should also be
by the same state board
ofeducation. But as Mr.. Hand sug-
gests, "The cheap politicians and the
statesmen may be de-
pended upon to oppose any such plan
on the specious plea that it would be
updemocratic."

MEMBERS STUDYING
COMING PROBLEMS
RcConvening of Congress Will Find
Many Subjects Treshed Out.
Antitrust Program.

Washington, Jan. 1.-Most mem
bers of Congress left in the capital
through the recess are studying prob
lens they will have to deal with
when Congress recOnveneS a week
from Monday. Individual members
and clerks of committees are doing
preliminary work on measures soon
to be the subjects Of committee de-
liberations. Each member of the
house judiciary COmmitte, left in the
city, is spending vacation time fa-
miliarizing himself with various pro-
posals bearing on the administration s
antitrust program.
The movement for economy in ap-
preparations, approved by leaders, APP
parently has dirfted onto the shoals.
An expected second conference of
chairman and ranking members of
committees that report supply meas
ures did not materialize, and now
none is i'm contemplation. Most chair
men Of committees contend they al
ready have cut estimates as far as
consistent with public demands.
The appropriation bills have been
whipped into shape far more quickly
than in past sessions.
The appropriations committee is
about ready with fortifications, legis-
lative, executive and judiciary and
urgent deficiency bills. The agricul-
tural, military, diplomatic and con-
cular appropriation measures will be
in shape when the house is ready to
receive them.
The rivers and harbors appropria
tion bill will carry about $34, 100000
for continuing work already begun
and otrer plans for improving water
ways. The total may run u pto $4O,-
600. 900 to include new projects, in
Guiding perhaps levee construction to
prevent Mississippi river floods. The
bill is still open to hearings. One
bill in behalf of hte proposed intra-
coastal waterway from Boston to
Beaufort, y. c., is set for June 8.

MONEY SAVED TO THE TOWN.

We are satisfied that our new city
fathers want all the light possible to
guide them in the not very agreeable
duty of managing the affairs of the
municipality and as the condition of
the strets and sidewalks is one of the
live issues if not the livest, we pass
on to them the following from The
Cheraw Chronicle, which by the way
is giving utterance to some splendid
ideas on town management. We
quote from The Chronicle:
"The town authorities should en-
ploy a competent engineer to lay off
the roads and sidewalks of the town
and then an expert road-builder to
build stretch of road and sidewalk.
BY this plan we will not only secure
roads and sidewalks Of the right
grade and character of construction,
but money will be saved to the town.
1t would be an impossible matter to
estimate the amount of money that
has been wasted in Cheraw by reason
of faulty Judgment i'm working the
roads and sidewalks in the town. The
lasting qualities of work of this kind,
like work of all other kinds, are de-
pendent upon the character of
the initial work, and this is too often
done with no technical knowledge.
In building roads and sidewalks, as
i'm other lines of business it pays to
employ a man who knows how to do
the work properly"
