not seen where the diamond had

through the little knot that fought
around him and had struck Luke Il
mighty blow between the eyes with all

Luke had shaken himself as dog

Durand.
Luke was nearly a match for the

with curses of disappointment, Durand

King Of Italy
Risks His Life
on Firing Line
When Horse Is Wounded He Mounts
Another and Leads Victor
ious Charge

Undine, Italy, Oct. 6.-King Victor
Emmanuel recently had a narrow es-
cape from death or serious injury by
shellhre while close to the firing line
at the front.
The king, desiring to assist in the
direction o: operations, was proceed
ing toward the front on horseback,
having left his automobile because of
the lack of road He rode In
among his troops, although he had
been warned that the Austrian pro-
tectiles were claiming a number of
victims.
As he passed a certain point a
shell exploded so near to him that
splinters OF shrapnel struck and in
jured his horse. He called for an
ether horse exclaiming: Here we
must win or die" Then he rode in
again among the troops who with
shouts of Savoy! took the Austrian
position by storm.
On another occasion when near
Monte Nero he passed a small de.
rachment that was exposed to bonn
bardment by the Austrians from a
mountain opposite the position. The
king stopped his automobile and In
quired whether there had been any
casualties On being informed that
only one gunner had been slightly
wounded the king drove on.
The royal automobile was scarce
" out OF sight when the Austrian
artillery fire was resumed, a large
shell falling on the exact spot where
the king had stopped, the explosion
tearing hole several yards deep
The king hearing the sount OF the
bombardmcnt returned to the scene
and photographed the smoking cav
ity where the automobile had just
! stood.

ERRONEOUS IMPRESSION CORRECTED

Information has recently been
received at this office of an eron-
eous impression that has gone
abroad concerning the policy Of
this paper.
1t has been said that it IS a
rule Of this Office to charge for
the printing Of death notices.
This is entirely incorrect, and
from the EDITORS point of view is
ridiculous.
We want all the news we can
get, whether it be of deaths.
births, marriages, divorces or
fights. In common with practi-
cally all other newspapers we
are compelled to make a charge
for long obituaries-which are
not news. 1t is not fair to the
subscribers Of a paper, who are
buying news service, to have
their paper filled with eulogies
of the dead year or more after
the demise.
So we repeat that we want all
the news while it is news. When
a good and useful man or woman
dies, we wish our correspondents
would tell as not only of the sad
event, but something of the life
he or she has lived, of the good
they have done, and not leave it
for an obituary t. be published a
year or so later.

schools and churchcs as 1hey
should be; when they begin to
cast about for the best plan to
build aud maintain good roads in
our county, then, in my Judge
ment, will it be necessary for
some law to be passed, as has
been passed in nearly all of the
Northern and Central states,
and as | understand exists in
part of the counties in North Ca
rolina, requiring wide tires on
all wagons or other vehicles up
on which loads are carried, not
only 10 protect the roads but to
help keep them smooth and main
tain the system"
Broad tires might help some
on poor roads, but Mr.. Rivers is
right when he argues that the
roads should be improved first.
We suggest that the move
ment for good roads throughout
Chesterfield county, especially
in Court House township be
started at once, and that legisla-
ton governing the width of tires
be not neglected to undo the
work.

A Chesterfield woman who at
tended the fair at Columbia made
the remark that 10 going through
the county booths one could easi-
ly distinguish between the coun.
ties that had girls canning clubs
and those that had not, by the
character Of the canned goods
exhibited. No phase of South
Carolina's progress attracted
more notice and received more
favorable comment than the
work of the girls clubs.
And the fame Of their art ex-
tends far beyond the confines of
South Carolina. Inquiries are
coming in from all parts Of the
United States asking How do
you do it,"
Maybe Chesterfield County
will some day get in the swim
too and have girls canning
club. And when she does, the
other clubs must look to their
laurels, for Chesterfield has the
soil to raise almost anything that
grows, as we'll as crop of girls
capable of making the very best
use of every opportunity offered.

GOOD ROADS AND MOISTURE
When Soil Is Dry It crumbIes to Dust
and When 1t Contains Too Much
Water 1t Becomes Mud.

(By w. c. PALMER, North Dakota Ex-
pertinent Station.)
One OF the important factors in
roadmaking is to control the moisture
content OF the soil in making up the
roadbed. When the soil is dry it
crumbles to dust and when it contains
too much water it becomes mud.
These are the two extremes to avoid.
To make hard roadbed the soil must
contain fair amount of moisture.
The control Of the moisture requires
that the roadbed be higher in the mid
die and smooth so that water cannot
stand on 1t but will run off. II water
