Old fasbfoned Cbrlstmas.

The backlog's fame has died away;
The embers into ashes drift.
Outside the SHOWS are eddying, gray
And pilng fast in many rift.
White robed is now the cedar tree
Where once the catbrd nightly sang,
And from the caves by two and three
The icicles like arrows hang.
The shadows on the somber wall
Fit cross and dance amid the gloom,
And streaks of ghostly color fall
In changing hues about the room.
The spiders in the corners dim
Within their webs the closer cling,
And from the mantel's oaken rim
A pair of children's stockings swing.
4'er field and forest, lane and road
Fast and still faster swirl the SHOWS,
And in the barn loft snugly slowed
A drOWSy rooster wakes and crows.
The clock strikes twelve, and midnight
Wanes.

Frost flowers blossom on the panes
The SHOWS float by and disappear.
And then across the rooftree swells,
Borne by the winds that fall and rise,
A sound Of many hurrying bells,
A sound that GIBBS and peals and dies.

The children's saint. in all the lands,
And, true to all the trysts he keeps,
White bearded on the hearthstone stands.

SPEEDWELL.

The writer had the pleasure a
few days ago. of taking \ drink of
water out of spring on top of Blue
Ridge between Hamburg and Cash
iers. This spring is famous to me,
from the fact, that part of the water
runs south into the Atlantic ocean,
and part runs north, through the
Tuckaseigee, Tenn, Ohio. Mississippi
end into the Gulf of Mexico. The
south branch of this spring runs
between the great Chimney Top
and White Side mountains, and the
north branch comes over the Tuck
aseigee falls. Chimney Top, White
Side, Shortoff, and Yellow Mountain
are grand old mountains. They
stand head and shoulders above all
the surrouding mountains, and it
looked to me as if nature had ex-
perimented in making all h, rest
before these were formed. On the
north side of the White Side mount
ain is the Devils Court House. The
writer when a boy thought that
this was the place where the Devil
held his courts, but alas! it is only
a gorge filled with caves and beaut::-
full scenery, the home of the wild
cat and bear In case the state
should add these majestic mount
aims to it's domain, this would be a
good place to test the titles. The
government no doubt will take this
section as part of it's national re-
serve.
Messrs. R. J. Crawford, John B
Miller and Rev. R. L. Cook spent a
night with the writer on their way
to Sapphire bear hunting. AS they
came up Cullowhee their dogs tried
to attack an automobile and if the
dogs had not been tied they lwoulC
have tried to put the automobile

JESSE UPTON and
PORTER CRISP CASES
BEFORE SUPREME COURT

Raleigh, Dec. Is. Your client
seems to be rying to thin the popu-
lation out" Chief Justice Clerk said
yesterday when attorneys for Jesse
Upton began to argue his appeal
from a manslaughter sentence of
four years.
The twentieth district was up. 1t
was the last of the appeals and three
capital cases, none convictions of
murder in the first degree, however
were being presented. The remark
was generally relevant but specif-
cally so in the light Of Mr.. Upton's
wide use of The gun. He shot his
father-in-law. What he was doing
for the laws was a good deal.
Upton's attorneys plead former
jeopardy. When the prisoner was
put on trial and after the prelimin-
aries began, attorneys slw juror
IN the box who Wcs known to have
been summoned from another coun-
ty. Fearing that the raising of this
question would invalidate the trial,
that it was plainly illegal, the state
and private prosecution asked the
withdrawal of that juror 1t wa,
agreed, the proceedings up to tha;
time thrown out and a new start
taken. Thomas S. Rollins arguing
the case for the state, contended
that all of this was done by agree.
rnent of counsel and that everybody
was satisfied. But after conviction
attorneys for the defense raised the
question of former jeopardy and thu
issue was argued.
Porter Crisp's case was presented
in an appeal from a conviction o
, manslaughter.
Crisp and the deceased Buckhan
) non fought over a game of poker il

MAINTENANCE
OF ROADS

The maintenance of our public
roads is not only serious question
in North Carolina but other states
are confronted with the same prof.
lem and are trying to solve it. In
West Virginia, lumber wagons have
been doing a great deal of damage
to the public roads and the county
engineers are now putting in force
an act recently passed at the extra
ordinary session OF the last legis.
lature, which is as follows:
Section s, Chapter s, of the acts
of the legislature of this state, en-
act d in the second extraordinary
session of 1915: Where it is requir-
ed that persons, firms, ETC., making
continuous use of any piece of
the county road, or driving thereon
any wagon, etc, and by such use
are causing more than the usual
wear, such persons, ETC., may be
compelled to put thereon a section
man or men and keep or assist in
keeping said road in such repair as
the court may order.
ANY person disobeying or refus-
ing such orders shall be adjudged
guilty of misdemeanor, and upon
conviction thereof fined rot to ex-
ceec::e50, or Imprisonment. or b ;th. >
This act of the West Virginia leg
islature is move in the right d.
rection, but | am still of the opiniC n
that the Wheel Tax method OF
furnishing a maintenance fund and
of controlling the damage that We
hicles do to roads, is by far the
most practical and effective one.
We tax all the people of tt {
counties for the construction o
roads but it is the users of the road
that should pay the greater part O
the cost of the maintenance tn. 81
roads and this will be accOmplis, 'e(
by the wheel tax,' all the revt nu'
therefrom being used for road main
tenance and for no other purpose.
Vehicles will pay wheel tax
according to the amount of damag
that said vehicles can do to tn
road. Thus a wagon capable of CAL
rying 1000 pounds and with wheel
having tires e. to q 1-2" in Widtl
would pay a much greater tax thai
the same capacity wagon who's
wheels have tires '6" wide. The
again, if the front wheel of such
wagon did not have the same trea
as the rear wheels, the tax woul
be still lower. The heavier the loa
the wagon will hold. the higher i
proportion, will be the wheel tax
and the wider the tire, the "Whe'
tax will be proportionately lowe
With automobiles the horsepoWe
and weight of machine will dete
mine the wheel tax
An equitable scale of the Whe
tax can be devised which will M
work hardship on any one an
the revenue derived from it wi
maintain the roads.

Fire at Brenau

Last Thursday, Brenau College, the

stroyed by fire. In the student body
now are four Ocalans, Misses Kath-
arine and Mildred Pyles, Beulah Hall

taken from the Gainesville (Ga) Her.
aid, will be of interest to many here:
yesterday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock
the fire alarm sounded and in a little
while the news flashed over the city
that Brenau College was on fire. The
fire was in the roof of Overton hall
and at the time the fire company ar
rived, the flames were bursting out
with a roar that threatened the entire
property. The fire having made con-
siderable Roadway before the alarm
was given in, it required considerable
water to extinguish it, yet the whole
of the damage, both by fire and water,
will amount to but few thousand
dollars, which is covered by insur-
ance."
