Carnegie.

1t is said that in ninety days the
box factory will be running full
time, in it's new home in Carnegie,
which will be one hundred feet square
and filed with the best machinery OBJ
tainable.
1t will require skilled labor to run
this new industry, which means the
coming of at least about 80 new cit
izens, besides giving wark to great
number of home people.
Mr.. Ford Jones said Johnson City
was an ideal place and held out
many advantages over any place ne
had seen. The credit for this new
industry coming here is due the Off
cials of the C. C. & o. railroad and
Mr., A, B. Crouch of the Unaka Ma
tional Bank.
The officers of the Box Company
who are here from Chicago, are Mr.

ing of Johnson City and its people
said in all their travels they had nev,
er had the pleasure of meeting more
perfect gentlemen than Messrs. A. B

to establish military training schools

two things-they will provide for the

year, and at the same time, they
will, under the arrangement proposed
furnish a reserve of trained military

prominent citizen of this city, was
arrested here yesterday on eight
warrants, all charging forgery in
connection with the filing with the
Equitable Assurance Society. of
which he has been the local agent
for years, of alleged fraudulent
death claims. 1t is charged that
Jones forged the names of the
payees to claims which the company
declares are false, and it is further
alleged that such practice has ex-
tended over period of several years.
Saturday afternoon three warrants
were sworn out by Er F E Wander
Veer, a physician employed by the
company, and yesterday five more
warrants were taken out, all charg-
ing forgery. Jones was arrested by
Sheriff Bradford, but was immedi-
ately released on bond of $4,000.
The affair came as a great surprise
to Sumter people.

On account of the fact that all
kinds of paper and materials used
in job printing are higher than ever
before within our experience, we
find it necessary to require cash on
delivery for all job work. We feel
sure our friends will appreciate the
necessity that compels US to this
course and help US by paying prompt
ly. On account of poor collections
and falling off in advertising pat
ronage, we have lost on an average
since January l, 1915. 500 a month
Printers have to be paid every Sat
urday night AMI our other expenses
have increased until it has never
cost us so much to run the business.
Some cash must come in or we shall
be forced to the wall. tt

old, old adage, Where there's a
will, there's way, and l must
confess to you had no faith in it
since mother had to verify the state
ment with half dozen peach
sprouts half dozen times a day.
And oh, my, that old peach tree!
What magnificent sprouts it would
sprout. But here, these energetic
teachers with the liberal co-opera-
ton of friends and patrons, have, in
spite of the money panic, equipped
our building with every modern i'm
provement. The installation of
single desks, set of 8 Johnston's
maps in patent case, a globe. pic
lures, 60 feet Hyloplate board in
both rooms, a large school diction-
ary, teachers desk, an S18 sanitary
drinking fount, and a library worth
$500. This equipment with the
corn club, tomato club, flower club,
and, last and best, the Cooking, or
Home Keepers club, the largest in
the county, say these things stand
for progress. The boys have their
corn planted, the girls have their
tomatoes growing. and we see the
flowers blooming and oh, my, the
good things these Home Keepers
club girls have been feeding us on.
Really, Mr. Speigner, l wish you
could have stepped into my home
one afternoon when they had their
first meeting, and seen the table
loaded with the incest cahes-pound
cake, chocolate cake, jelly cake,
Lord Baltimore cake-I mean Lady
Baltimore cake-the kind they stick
together with icing full of raisins,
fruit and nuts.
Then. Brother Morris, l wish you
had been with US at q reception
given here. following the unveiling
of the portraits of Gen Lee and Gen
Washington, when these cooking
club girls served, in such such ap-
propriate colors, their daintily pre-
pared refreshments. Boys, when
you are ready for your better half,
you had better come to Vox. When
this school gets through with girl
she'll be fit for the wife of a king.

music and now these music pupils

Earning Their Salary

The hardest worked men in Clear
water county today is the board Of
county commissioners, who e laying
ava ke nights struggling to solve the
many knotty problems that have
confronted them as county officials
since the 18th of last January. To
carry on needed improvements, with
no f unds and bankrupt treasury,
with more than one hundred thousand
dollars of Indebtedness, drawing
seven per cent interest, and new
law making it an offense to run the
county in debt, it is more than play
to meet the situation. And for this
hard labor Messrs. Coontz, Harlan
and Choate receive from the people
the magnificent sum of SAL per month
each. Yet they are meeting the
situation in business like, efficient
way and by the end of their present
two year term will have placed Clear
wat county on a sound, business
basl IS, out of debt, or practically so,
with taxes among the lowest in the
state. For this most valuable SER
vice the people owe them no small
debt of gratitude.

Child Gets Bad Fall

The two-year-old daughter of Mr..
I'd Mrs. Owen Crockett fell out of a
window in the rear of the home Tues
day evening, striking on her head.
The tot dropped twelve feet, but es-
capped with nothing more serious than
some truises and good shaking up.
She took the screen with her. and
when picked up was laying on the
screen, which may have acted as a
bumper for some of the shock. The
drop rendered the little miss uncon.
scious for few moments.
