Country" Rupert Hughes sp!endidly dranatized edition of Grace Miller Whites world famous book of the same title. In the character of Tess D a sunny natured, buoyant, spirited daughter of shore life destiny, Cecil Spooner will be seen in a part wherein she excelS her own best past endeav- ors, being of the style in which the popular little star delights in playing. There is a plot of striking intensity, while the plot is all-a absorbing throughout the four stirring acts. A massive scenic production is to be given Tess, of the Storm Country while the cast will contain the names of several added players of promi hence.

but the purchase of Hoblitzen and. the development of Janvrin at second and Scott at short, and the purchase of Pitchers Shore and Ruth, put the Carriganites in the race, and they gave the Athletics a. hard tussIe for the pennant. The acquisition of Bar ry this year further strengthened the club, and put the Red Sox back at the top of the heap. ~4Ss-
 So far as the mechanical part of catching is concerned, Carrigan has
 many superiors, but in head work he stands in a, class by himself. If any batsman, of opposing clubs has a weakness, Bill may be depended upon to smell it out and put his pitchers wi$e. As a. player he was never very swift, and the years are already be- ginning to tell upon him. In the bat ting department he doesn't rank as a sIugger, but he is one of those heady batsmen who seem to be able to do their best work when hit means a run. It is yet too early to decide whether Carria gan is entitled to rank with lIcGraw, Mack, Chance and other famous pilots, but his friends believe he is made of just that sort of stuff

(cHRISTIAN HERALD.)

The secretary of the Imperial
German Treasury is quoted as hav-
ing said in April in the Reichstag
that the cost of the war for all
bellieerents was $375,000,000 a
week, This would mean that the
cost up to that time had been $l3,-
100000 for the eight months, or
in excess of $15,000,000,00 to date.
These figures are applied to the
actual cost of war materials, sold
iers' pay, transportation costs, food
stuffs, etc. OF course the actual
cost of the war will never be known,
because wastage and human misery
and the colossal loss Of life can not
be accurately computed In the
scale of money value
But the London Economist goes
so far as to predicate the wars costs
through processes Of estimates
which embrace not only actual war
expenditures but all tn e known
collateral costs, including the eco
nomic value placed upon the lives
Of the soldiers lost In battle The
awful total is placed at S45740,-
100000. These figures we're pub
lished about two months ago.

Down in Georgia the other day,
after white man had been lynched
by mob, the great crowd that had
assembled to view the body actu-
ally took a vote on whether or not
the body of the dead man should
be mutilated. After a gray-haired
citizen had pleaded with the mob
for time, the vote was taken and
the advice of the speaker to not
further molest the dead was agreed
to by the crowd. In spite of this,
however, a few could not resist the
temptation to tear away part of the
dead mans clothing as souvenirs
of the occasion. 1t cannot be de-
MED that down in Georgia the
world is growing better, and that
state richly deserves coDeratula-
tions from the balance of the coun-
try upon the fact that affairs have
now reached such a high pinnacle
there that a mob actually votes not
to mutilate the body of its victim,
and only takes away portions of
his clothing, so that the pleasure
of the incident may not escape their
memories in future years.

Since the courts have put an end
to state aid for high schools, citi-
zens of Mountain Home have sub
scribed funds from their own pock-
cts for the high school at that
town to take the place of funds
formerly received from the state.
That is the proper spirit, and is
the action every town should take
that feels the need of additional
funds. The rural schools, many of
which are hampered by a scarcity
of funds, should not be forced tv
contribute to the support of the
high schools in the towns from
their public funds.

TROUBLE IN THE WORLD

There is lots of trouble in the
world.
x What's the matter?
There's the European war--the
! costliest struggle, both in lives and
finances, that the world has ever
known.
What a travesty that war is, en-
gaeed in as it is by some of the
4 leading, most cultured nations of
the earth-christian nations that
have sent hosts of missionaries to
the out-of-the-way places to spread
THE doctrine of religion and civil
cation!
X What's the matter?
Our own country is full of
trouble. The papers are full of the
\ details of serious accidents" bad
fires, boats sinking, mine disasters,
and other catastrophes that claim
Hives and destroy accumulations of
wealth.
u Are all these mere "accidents?"
Whats the matter?
Read of the endless murders, rob-
berries, and crime of every conceiv-
able sort. There never was the
like of it before.
What's the matter?
Figures just published show that
the penitentiaries of at least six
Southern states have more inmates
than they ever had before. More
room is being made in the asylums
all over the country.
Something is the matter.
"a A great section of the country
must now recover from the most
disastrous overflow of years, an
accident" that destroyed some
lives and swept away thousands
yand thousands of dollars worth of
property.
"A What's the natter
X These things are not accidents,
unless it be an accident that the
universe and all the people are in
existence, and unless every other
Transformation and transaction Of
life is an accident.
The world is so old now that it
has had ample opportunity to learn
the most important lesson that it
ought to know, yet in spite Of the
progress that belongs to the age,
II would seem that civilization has
reached its height only to be stie-

that has visited Slsss'1 hty and
this section of the state in many
years wrought damage that can
hardly be estimated on Thursday
and Friday of last week.
The rain began falling about
midnight Tuesday night and con-
tinued steadily for the following
fifty hours. In Evening Shade
Thursday evening the small branch
that runs through town had been
transformed into a veritable river,
and people who reside in the south
part of town were using a boat in
order to reach their homes.
ON PNEY CREEK
Piney creek reached about the
same height as in the big overflow
of August, 1911. The crop dam
age along this stream is probably
not so great as four years ago for
several reasons. One is that the
corn crops are better matured now
than then, this overflow coming
later in the month. Another is
that the water did not stay on the
crops so long. Still another is that
the weather was cool during the
few days Immediately following the
falling of the water, thus prevent
ing some damage to the fallen corn
that would have occurred had the
weather been warm. Anyhow, the
Piney bottoms are not SO extensive,
and the damage is insignificant in
comparison with the damage that
was wrought on the larger streams
of the county.
ON STRAWBERRY RIVER
There is complete devastation in
the fields along Strawberry river,
where the lands were producing
the largest and best corn crop in a
quarter of a century, In addition
to the crop losses, the damage to
land is great, it being reported in
numerous instances that the land
is washed as deep as it had been
been plowed this season, At the
bridge north Of Evening Shade the
river was three or four feet higher
than in the overflow Of four years
ago, The crop losses along Straw
berry cannot be estimated The
crops were fine, and they are gone,
Along lower Strawberry, in the
Pouehkeepsie and Strawberry town
ship sections, the loss is immense,
The river there was higher by sew
eral feet than 1t had ever been
known before. On upper Strawber-
ry the ruin Is just as great, Men
who were expecting to gather one,
two and three thousand bushels OF
corn will not gather busheI, un-
less 1t Is damaged stuff, fit only for
hog feed,
ON SPRING RIVER

bushels of wheat, which we under

and Willis Watkins. The grist
mill at the mouth of Piney, few
miles southeast of Evening Shade,
was also swept into the river This
mill was formerly owned by Calvin
Watkins, but was sold by him some
time ago to Wiley Vanwinkle.
GREAT LOSS AT WILLIFoRD
The town Of Williford suffers
great loss from the flood The pre-
vious high-water mark at that place
was exceeded by at least eight feet,
and water stood at least five feet
deep in every store in town, in the
bank building and in the hotel
The stores that suffered were W. A.
Yates, J. M. g. G. H. Gray, Ben N.
Yates & Co., McCaleb Nero. Co.,
Snow Drug Co., Kellett & Son,
J. B. Booth, restaurant and grocer
les, and the Spurlock grocery and
restaurant. The damage and act
ual loss to stocks in these places OF
business is very heavy. The pro-
prietors at first had no fear that
the water would reach their stores
Then as the flood continued to
climb higher and higher, goods
were piled on counters, only to be
soon covered by the increasing
rush of water. Water covered the
safe in the bank building, but no
loss of Importance is reported from
there. The hotel, kept by Mrs.
Dora Boyce, was flooded with wat
er, and great damage was done TO
the interior Of the building and its
fixtures. Three good pianos were
ruined in the hotel building. One
was the property of Mrs. Boyce;
another belonged to her daughter,
Mrs. Joe Kellett. The third was
stored in the hotel by another rela-
tive of Mrs, Boyce.
THE TOWN OF HARDY
The damage at Hardy was small
in comparison with the Williford
loss, although the river was higher
there than it had ever been known
before. A blacksmith shop near
the railroad tracks was washed
away, r. M. Jackson's warehouse,
also near the railroad tracks, was
taken away, as was part OF the
stock pens, and the pump house
was moved from its original posi-
ton. The high water and washout
of bridges along the line prevented
train service at this point for a few
days.
