THERE ARE THOSE WHO WALK.
"Pedestrian" Thinks That Autoists
Have ObScured Him With Dust.

Editor Keowee Courier: We have
noticed, since the present administra-
ton of Supervisor and County Com
missioners took charge of the affairs
of Oconee county, that they have
made many improvements in the pub
lie highways of the county, and to-
day, notwithstanding the extreme
rains of the past month, the
public roads show more improvement
than is usually noticed in most any
other direction in the county.
This is all very good for the ad-
ministration, and we would like for
them to know publicly that we ap-
preciate their efforts and ability to
give us good roads; but we have
noticed for several years back-even
before this administration-that in
all these improvements our officials
seem to have in mind provision for
the easy travel of the horseDacker,
the persons who travel in carts,
wagons, buggies, carriages or auto
mobiles, while those of us who walk
are utterly ignored-not even II place
for footway, much less a comforta-
BILE way, provided. We think we
are entitled to walk-ways, at least
across muddy swamps, near creeks
and branches, and all other places
where the public roads are liable to
get very muddy and disagreeable
during bad weather.
Our Communication tax is just the
same as the man who owns his bug
gy, carriage or automobile; and
20. Il ;,. ,1,
because we don't see how we can
spare the money while the books are
open for payment of this tax, and
when the time comes round for work
ing the roads we are warned out for
four days instead Of two, and then we
have to "COmc across"
If we are not mistaken, something
was said about this matter during the
campaign, and we confidently en-
pected to have seen some move in
this direction before now. We still
hope to see something doing" be-
fore the term OF office Of the present
administration expires, but if not, we
predict that the men who fill these
important offices in the future will
have to make some public promises
as to this matter before they get our
support.
In conclusion, we would like to
suggest some excuse for our neglect,
but we hardly know how to go about
it, 1t would not sound good to say
they just have not thought of us, and
then it would seem absurd, too, be-
cause, during last campaign, they
even knew where we lived. So we
must conclude that the men with
their automobiles have just run in
ahead Of us until the officials can't
see us at all. c'Out Of sight, out Of
mind.~ Present officials should
take warming There is a good del'

POLITICAL PRAYER MEETINGS

1t is a sad day for Christianity when
the church bells cali the communicates
together for political prayer meet
ing. Such gatherings mark the high
tide Of religious political fanaticism,
put bitterness into the lives OF men;
fan the flames of class hatred and de-
stroy Christian influence In the COM

meetings is anarchistic. un.Christlike

HAD A CROP TO SHOW.

A twenty-year-ago item from the
Minneapolis Messenger: Among the
many emigrant wagons passing
through the city last Saturday was
one occupied by a man and woman
and eight children. The inquisitive
man approached the wagon and com-
mcnced to question the head of the
family. Where did you come from"
asked the inquisitivc man. The man
with Il family replied that he came
from Lane county. Been there
long, Bout ten years Raise
anything while you were there?
Yes replied the cmigrant looking
at the eight children in the wagon,
raised what you see in the wagon

man went and looked at the ther-

EMPEROR CARRIED THE WOOD
Appeal Of Aged Peasant Woman Re-
sponded To by the Ruler of
AustriaHungary.

The humanity of the Austrian eIn-
peror. that aged and much-harassed
monarch. has often been revealed in
his dealings with the peasantry. In
his earlier days. says 7. P.'s Weekly,
he emperor had many adventures
in the mountains, since, as he was
undistinguished II his shooting kit
by any mark of his rank, the Tyro-
lese peasants often failed to recog-
nize him.
Once, when he was descending late
in the evening from one of these
expeditions, he met an old, wrinkled
peasant woman, groaning and grum-
bling under the weight of fagot.
The emperor addressed CHEEKY good
evening to her His ovcrtures were
not at all well received. for the Old
lady was in a very bad temper. If
"cIc SlSd', otiOhS man. Si'N
observed. Il should offer to help a
body to carry her wood home, in
stead OF passing her by as if she were
OF no account. .
The emperor took the delicate hint,
shouldered the fagot and carried it
for nearly two miles to the nearest
village, with the old woman grum-
bling at him behind. 1t was only
when she saw the imperial foresters
anxiously looking out for their lost
master that she learned that she had
shifted her burden TO the heavily
weighted shoulders of the emperor.

WINTERED ON AN ICEBERG
Precarious Home" Occupied by Ant
arctic Explorers in the interests
of Science.

Sir Douglas Mawson, in the Strand
magazine, tells in detail the story of
his thrilling experience in the ant
arctic regions, in the course Of which
both his companions lost their lives,
and he himself, after perhaps the
most terrific perils out Of which any
adventurer has ever escaped alive,
was just able to reach safety. In the
course Of many startling adventures
Sir Douglas relates how he and his
companions once camped on an ice
berg.
In longitude 95 degrees east, saws
the explorer, the ship was again off
new land, but on account of the
still frozen sea could not approach
within II miles of the coast. How
ever, floating tongue of land ice
extending far out to sea was reached,
and upon it the western party were
landed with their hut and stores. AZ

out the feeling that they might one
day wake up TO find that they had
commenced voyage on nothing
more substantial than an iceberg.

two antarctic bases was LOO miles,

USE og ALUMINIUM VESSELS
Scientific investigation Shows That
the Metal Has Many Advantages
Over Other Kinds.

Now that aluminium utensils are
coming into use it will be interest
ing to note the following expert
ments made by Prof. John Glaister
of. the Glasgow university, his object
being to find whether various all
mcnts we're likely to attack the metal.
He finds that the only substances
that attack the surface are oranges,
lemons, brussels sprouts and toma-
toes, but even in this case the guam
tity of aluminium dissolved is insig-
nifcant and quite inotfensive.
Ii is already known that alumni
mum is not affected by air at any
temperature and it does not blacken
on contact with hydrogen sulphide as
silver does. As the metal is easily
cleaned it appears that such utensils
have all the advantages and all kinds
of foods can be prepared in them
without danger.
Another advantage that they share
with copper vessels is that, being of
thin metal, they heat up very quick
ly. For electric or fame heaters this
means quite an economy Of heat, as
less heat is now lost in warming mp
tie material Of the vessel. This re-
lcrs specially 10 rapid heating, such
as boiling of water and the like
