BARBER QUITS THE TOWN
Citizens Of Georgia Town Weep and
Ask "When Shall We See

Guyton, Ga.-Springfield, the county
seat of Effngham, is sorely lamenting
the loss of the town barber, who took
French leave few days ago and went
to seek other chimes, where, perhaps,
the natives are more bewhiskered.
The inhabitants Of the little village
are up in arms because they fear there
will be no one to trim their hirsute
adornments. A barber is very neces-
sary parsonage in a small town, and
Springfield is NO exception. It's ma
tives must have their tonsorial needs

About all of the boats on the &C. &

ports and tied UP for the winter, and
the water will probably be drawn from
the ditch the latter part of this week

season 81 boats have been operated
on the canal, and the season was a
fairly good one OF the 81 boats no
less than 81 are operated by boat
men from Sharpsbur9, and nearly all
of the 81 are now tied up at Snyder's
landing, three miles above Shepherds

winter. A new concrete lock is to be
built at Dam No to replace the old
wooden lock by the time navigation
opens next spring. -Shepherdstown

OH Wells sunk in Bed Of Ocean.


Many persons would doubt the state
ment that It is possible to pump oil
from the earth beneath the waters Of
the ocean. That this Is done, how
ever, is proved. The well towers are
located on rough frame piers over the
ocean and as far as hundred feet
from the surf. The oil is pumped
through the waters of the sea and is
carried through pipes to the land,
where 1t is emptied into tanks. The
pumps are worked by means Of steam
engines stationed ON the piers. A few
years ago there were many more of
these wells, but some have been ex-
hausted and abandoned In recent
years.-Popular Science Monthly and

LABOR CHIEFS SEEK PLAN FOR
SETTLING TROUBLE

Both factions of the building
trades and the Construction En-
ployers' assn held conference late
this morning to discuss a possible So
luton of the dissensfon over the pro
posed agreement.
All sides seemed willing for the con-
ference. Some men in each camp
spoke of willingness to concede some
points, but mostly there was dog
ged determination not to bulge.
Much of the reason for this latter
spirit was prompted by the attitude
of the employers assn, which init
mated yesterday that it was prepared
to declare and enforce a general lock-
out and would take this course rath~
er than cOncede a point.
AS testimony of the willingness OF
the employers to stage a general
lockout, a conference with the archi-
tects of the city was called today.
This meeting was arranged some
time ago. The object was to discuss
lockout plans. It is known that some
of the prominent architects are OPP
posed to a lockout and might openly
oppose the eTectors if one were
called.
The labor representatives at the
conference today were: Building

Ryan, architectural iron men; Chas.
