same verse he says that the sec.
ond man was the Lord from
heaven. This according to the
explanation which God has given,
has reference to the man in the
garden because Luke says:
(which was the son of Enos
which was the son of Seth. which
was the son of Adam which was
the Sun of end. Luke 3 38)
Adam the son of cod! This
will show to the reader that God
in this explanation lin the 46 v.
changes the two men right a.

Explorer StsfA,sson is Safe

Vilhjalnur StefAnsson, chief of
the Canadian government Arctic
exploring and surveying expedi-
tion that left Victoria, B. c., in
June, 1913, and who set out
afoot over the ice with two CON-
panions from the shores of north
eastern Alaska in March, 1914, to
seek new land in unchartered seas,
did not 60 to his death, as the
world had begun to fear, but
found the new land and the only
hardships endured were those of
short rations.
The power shcooner Ruby has
arrived from Herschel Island with
dispatches from Stefansson to the
Canadian government, in which
he omits reference to the perils
OF the journey on the ice and gives
space to the scientific results
achieved.
Stefansson is win tering at
Banks Land, where he has a large
power schooner and a small one.
He'plans to explore his new ter
ritory during the winter and next
summer penetrate further into
the region of mystery between
Alaska and the North Pole, where
no ship has ever gone.
The southern, or Anderson,
wing OF the expedition is pursu-
ing it's scientific work in Macken-
zie Delta and reports no mishap
except the death OF Engineer Dan.

''The new schedule OF rates for

to obtain his lowest operating
cost and greatest efficiency from

of the Southern Power Company,
to q group of cotton mill men at
Anderson this week. Further.

FsrnaIldss ssnstln,s Necessary

The Raleigh News and Observer
is outraged about the amount Of
red tape required to get into the
State prison, as illustrated by the
case of Walls, the Watauga man
who, although he had proper
commitment papers, had to wait
in Raleigh q week for the sheriff
.of his county to 60 to Raleigh
and formally accompany him to
the Stateprison. The Landmark
has no patience with unnecessary
formalities, but it seems oft that
the prison authorities gave a
very good reason for the enforce
ment OF this rule. If a convict is
allowed to 60 to Raleigh and
commit himself the way is open
for fraud. The prisoner could,
by arrangement, give the papers
to a friend and the latter could
enter the prison and stay until
the real convict had ample op-
portunity to make a safe get
away. Then the substitute could
make himself known and the
State prison authorities couldn't
hold him. There may be, and
doubtless is, a law to punish one
who would help to perpetrate a
fraud in such cases, but this
wouldn't bring the real offender
back and it would involve much
trouble. twill be contended that
such cases would be rare, but it
is best, possibly, to be on the safe
side and not open the door for
them. .-Statesville Landmark.

Purveyors of side.show amuse-
ments are agreed, it is said, that
dwarfs no longer may be counted
upon to draw audiences, no mat
ter how gifted these Liliputians
may be. In Charles Stratton,
known the world over by his
pseudonym of Tom Thumb, this
country furnished the most at
tractive dwarf thatever exploited
his accomplishments, and who,
as stated by his sponsor In what
was considered the most "stun-
ming" advertising of the day, was
"the delight of all the crowned
heads OF Europe" as we'll as of the
uncrowned sovereigns of America.
Great as Tom Thumb was in
his time, there were dwarfs pre-
ceding him that made most ell
viable regulations. Among these
were Richard Gibson, aged Is at
his death, July %, 1890, and his
widow, who died 10 years later,
at the advanced age Of 80. Glib
son was a miniature painter
miniature in every sense OF the
phrase-as we'll as court dwarf to
Charles l of England, and his
wife, Ann Shepherd, was court
dwarf to Queen Henrietta Marie.
Her majesty promoted a mar
riage between these two clever
but diminutive persons, and the
marriage proved a happy one.
The couple broke another estab.
llshed opinion-that dwarfs do
not reproduce. They had nine
children, five OF whom lived to
years OF maturity and were of or.
dinary stature.
Glbson's works were valued and
one of them was the innocent
cause of a tragical event. This
painting represented the parable
Of the lost sheep, and was highly
priced by the King, who gave it
in charge to Vandervoort the
keeper OF the royalpictures. One
day the King asked for this pic.

that he mislaid it, Vandervoort
committed suicide by hanging
A few days after his death the

objection by the mountain people
to the adoption of the stock law
was that it would give protec-
tion to the snakes and things
have turned out just as they had
anticipated. There has been a
multiplication of snakes of all
kinds and especially OF the rat
tier. This variety is the particu-

hog. The average pine.rooter

neck between the split Of the hoof
then tears him into ribbons, eat
ing the strips with loudly-grunted
satisfaction. In some of the east
ern counties, notably Bladen, the
rattlers have multiplied to such

the girth of a log and the length
