Engineer Bell of Smith, Emery &
Co. and Harvey Ling, inspector for
the springs commission, narrowly
escaped injuries which might have
been fatal when returning from Cen
tral Point Saturday. Had they been
travelling at a high rate of speed
there probably would not have been
enough of the pair left to tell the
tale. Coming around one of the
sharp curves this side of Central
Point at a rate of about twenty miles
an hour, they came up to horse
standing crosswise in the road. In
turning out around the heavy car
skidded into a post and the tonneau
was torn off. A broken axle also re-
suited. The young men escaped un-
hurt and are thanking their lucky
stars that they were not going faster,

Bandon Recorder: Elbert Dyer,
who has been here this week, reports
that fruit from the Umpqua and
Rogue River valleys is to be had in
the region where grown at very
reasonable price. He says that
peaches can be purchased there at
25 cents a box and they can be had
for the picking if one has the ambi-
ton to 80 after them. The farmers
of that country are feeding them to
their pigs, and they do not make ex-
ira good pig feed at that. Not near
as good as could be grown on the land

Dyer says the farmers are beginning
to get the fancy farming idea out of
their heads and to go in for staples,
alfalfa and grain and the forage that
will sustain dairy COW. These are
the crops favored in the klamath dis
trict on the other side of the Cas-
cades, and that section is in much
better condition than the valleys next
east. Mr.. Dyer and family expect to
spend the coming winter at Ashland.

springs, an diff that section does not

ART FIT TO JUDGE THYsELFi

Frank p. Walsh, chairman of the
Federal Commission on Industrial Re-
lations, recently returned from an in
vestigation of trouble in the Colorado
Fuel and Iron Company's fuel fields
in Colorado. There was civil war out
there. Machine guns ratified out
death to armed strikers. Federal
troops interfered. There is only
truce there now, according to Mr..
Walsh.
"The calling off of the last strike is
simply an incident" Mr.. Walsh says.
That strike was simply an incident.
Since 1876 these incidents have sue
ceeded one another with, each time,
increasing intensity.
They will be more intense in the
future unless the people of this coun-
try are able to provide some funda-
mental justice for the relation between
big industrial enterprises and their
workers.
"Just now," MIR. Walsh adds, IAN at
tempt to get at the root of things is
being made by the Rockefeller Foun-
dation of New York. Mr.. Rockefeller
is the principal owner Of the Colorado
Fuel and Iron Company and the sole
source of the munificent foundation
funds"
The commission accordingly has un-
dertaken an investigation of the foun-
dation to see if it has the ability with
out prejudice to handle the subject.
For" Mr.. Walsh continues, "our COM
mission was the more impressed by the
necessity of this inquiry by the de-
velopment that men-men like Elbert
Hubbard and Ivy Ledbetter Lee. at
.tached now to the foundation-had
been secretly employed to write
pamphlets or periodical articles on
the Colorado situation-pamphlets and
articles that did not give a real COM
prehension either of the facts or OF
the general conditions
If the Commission on Industrial Re-
lations finds that the Rockefeller
Foundation has been giving, or caus-
ing to be given, untruthful or mis-
leading information to the public the
commission should take steps to have
the foundation suppressed.

The Literary Trawler
The Younger Generation.

He had learned to play at tennis,
He had on full many a match;
On the ball ground he was famous
He could pitch and bat and catch,
He could box and throw the hammer,
And at wrestling he was good;
He was thoroughly athletic
But his father chopped the wood.
She was well informed on ethics,
She could formulate plan
Which would show us all our duty
To our struggling fellow-man.
She could write on household topics
In a manner hard to beat;
She embroidered fancy pillows
But her mother cooked the meat.

FOR A CENTRAL HEATING PLANT.

Just what are your thoughts when
YOU walk down Broadway. gathering
on your face and collar flakes OF
blackest SCOT? If the proposed anti
cuss" law goes into effect and should
apply to Columbia, it might be dan
gerous to express some of these
thoughts.
Because of its smoke and SCOT, Co
lumbia could be called little Pitts
burgh. Smoke pours from the Chin
news of every store building in the city
all day long. AS the business houses
are situated in an unusually compact
manner, there is black cloud OF
smoke hanging over Broadway and vi
cinity almost all the time.
Columbians have become accus-
toned to all of this, but when one
visits a city the size OF Columbia

A cat may look at king. And a
COLUMBIA,S LABYRINTH.


The way in which Columbia resi-
dences are numbered puzzles even an
old settler and sends him wandering
aimlessly across and back, up and
down a street, seeking the house he is
looking for. To arrive at the differ
ence between the numbers of two
houses on the same street, side by side,
1t is often necessary to do sum in
addition by subtracting and failing to
carry forward.
Take Maryland place. On the west
side of the street beginning at Conley
avenue, the houses begin with so on
the west side, odd numbers. On the
east side, the houses begin with 700,
even numbers. There is only diff
ference of 100 or so between houses
opposite each other on the same street.
A small matter.
Go on down Maryland on the east
side. Right across from 71S stands
7O7. How can that be? 1t is, that's
all.
Missouri avenue starts at Conley
avenue. The east side begins with 700,
even numbers. The west side starts
with so, odd numbers. Number SO3 is
on the corner. Move up this side of the
street. You pass a few vacant lots
and come to a house numbered 7O9. 1t
is like the reports from the Allies con-
cerning the movement of the Germans
back in August: 'The farther they
retreated from Paris, the closer they
came to it."
A few more curiosities in street
numbering: West Ash street has two
houses bearing the number plate 207,
and the houses in question are two
blocks apart. On Cauthorn avenue
even and odd numbers are on the same
side of the street Numbers 16O7-S-9
come in a row. So on West Broadway,
odd and even numbers are jumbled to-
gether. On Edgewood avenue, there
are two houses on opposite sides each
numbering 204.
Such numbering of the citys resi-
dence districts may not befuddle the
mailman who knows the middle name
of every man, woman and child on his
delivery route. But it is a mighty
poor system for city the size of Co.
umbia.
The City Council should see that the
city engineer takes a few days or,
goes over the streets of the city and
maps out a systematic numbering OF
houses. Then, the Council should no
tify property owners what are the cor
rect numbers and force them to num-
ber their houses accordingly. Only
two-thirds of the houses now have
any numbers on them.
Few villages would allow their
houses to be numbered in the haphaz-
ard way the City of Columbia permits.

where there is central heating plant,
and notes the absence of this smoke,
dirt and SCOT, the difference is most
striking. In nearly all central heat
ing plants there is smoke condenser.
Mexico and Maryville have municipality
owned central heating plants and are
far cleaner looking cities than before
these plants were installed.

THE NEW BOOKS
By and Large.

A newspaper versifier's writings
are wrought daily for passing pub
lie. There is nothing, generally, OF
an enduring sort to be found in the
average "colyum." But F. P. A
Franklin P. Adams, to be explicit
the genial paragrapher of the New
York Tribune, seems to have proved
himself the exception to the rule. His
daily writings charm thousands of
readers all over the country; but his
most recent volume "By and Large"
a collection of verses has interest Of
an enduring sort. 1t is live, and it
will live.
The verses truly are "by and
large" They are on every conceiva-
BILE subject, nearly, from Horace to
Chloe" to "The Optative Mood" and
"The Ballad Of the Two Lame Men"
One thing they have to unity them,
however; they are clearly, cleanly,
undeniably funny. Adams writings
vary in tone from the classics to the
slang of the baseball field; but al
ways they are Of humorous nature.
F. P. AS gift for initiating the dis
tinctive styles of contemporary writ
ers is best exemplified in the extract
he gives of various methods Of hand
ling a baseball game. In this respect
he is a literary mocking-bird.

PACE TWELVE
GENTILES THINK 1T TIME TO
FIGHT BECK.

Dear Sir: At maSS-meeting of
ladies held here last night, the un-
dersigned, were appointed as a COM
mittee to give letter of publicity to
our meeting as we'll as our motive
for same.
The ball has started rolling" and
the ladies of our city are going to
keep it rolling. Our motive is this:
Boycott the Jews eve have plenty of
Gentiles to buy from who carry any
thing We need) and, last but not
least, the three daily papers: the
Journal, Georgian and Constitution
Our reasons are this: Our class is
distinct from the Jews, and while we
believe there are some good ones,
they, like we disgraced Georgians,
will have to suffer the consequences
Of a deed done, which can never lie
undone, by one of their own race.
AS for the papers: When Frank
first murdered Mary Phagan who was
the first to paint horrible picture
in words and spread the news not
only to the people of Georgia, but to
the United States? 1t was our pa
pers, and after they have brought us
up to the time when justice should
have been meted out they sold out
for Jew gold, along with Slaton. We
hope they will enjoy it, for the wo-
men are in the fight to stay.
AS for Slaton, we feel that he is
too small to even be noticed, as he
has disgraced the grandest State in
the Union for money, but we are go
ing to show the people that we have
the self-respect, humanity and Chris
ttanity to resent such insult to our
WOmanhOod.
We met at the home Of one of our
committee to prepare our letter, and
feel that~we have been paid the high
est honor that we have yet had as
our Chief of Police Beavers sent one
of his most trusted men out to watch
over us to see that we did not make
an efTigy of Slaton to drag through
the streets, blazing, tonight. They
are afraid Of us-afraid we can
really do something-and we will.
The Jews will have to go sooner or
later, as we will starve them out.
Several little speeches were made
at our meeting, and if we could only
have had your honorable self or our
faithful and dear beloved Hugh Dor
sey with us we feel we could have
won the world. Respectfully,
Mrs. G. w. McDade, Mrs. w. G.
Glass, Mrs. G.. w. Mcdaniel, Mrs. S.
B. Adamson, Mrs. J. A. Stallworth.
