Catamount Robs Farmer.

Adam Sterner, an Augustavills,
Northumberland county (Pa.) farmer,
had an experience with huge cata-
mount that almost turned his hair
gray. He was driving to the Sunbury
markets with load Of produce, and
was passing through dense woods
when he felt a heavy body land on his
wagon, followed by splitting and
"meowing" that were hideous.
Looking back, he saw two big balls
Of fire, the eyes of the largest cata-
mount he had ever seen. It was paw
Ing at the canvas cover he had over
his load. With a revolver, the fright
ened farmer fired twice. At the dis
charge of the weapon the cat jumped
and escaped In the darkness. When
he arrived at the market two fat
dressed chickens were missing.

War Rooms Home Brewing.

The new beer tax in England has
had the effect Of reviving the obsolete
art of home brewing in the country
districts. If home brewing becomes
widespread, one of the main sources
to which Lloyd George has been look
ing to raise funds for the war will
be cut off. The brewing industry
will suffer. Ale can be brewei at
home at ~ cents a pint, or ~ cents
cheaper than it can be bought at q
public bar. Small householders pay
ing less than $50 a year In taxes are
allowed to brew for home use free
from any excise tax. Empty casks
are bought up to store the home
brews, and brewing coppers are lent
among neighbors.

YUKON RIVER LITTLE KNOWN
Average American Unfamiliar with
the Characteristics OF the Great
Alaskan Waterway.

The Yukon means so much as a wa
terway to Alaska that report by the
United States geological survey on its
discharge at Eagle and on some OF the
great rivers characteristics have espe-
cial interest. The Yukon is the fifth
river in size In North America. 1t
drains an area Of 100000 square miles
and its length, including the LeWes
and Teslin rivers, is 2,700 miles. The
Mississippi-Missouri rivers are 5000
miles long; the Mackenzie, 2,S6S; Col
orado- Green, 1000, and Ohio-Allegheny,
1900.
The discharge of the Yukon varies
from a maximum of 254,000 cubic feet
a second to 10,100 cubic feet, average
of 73,200. This discharge is relatively
small compared with the average now
of the Mississippi, $4,000; Ohio, Soo,-
600, and Colorado, 23,9O0. The Nile,
with a drainage area Of 1,262,OoO
square miles has an average flow OF
$4,000 cubic feet second.
The comparatively small flow IN re-
lation to it's drainage area is attrib-
uted to the fact that the interior OF
Alaska has the small rainfall charac-
teristic of that portion Of the United
States that lies between the Rocky
mountains and the Sierra Nevada
north of the latitude of Salt Lake
City.
The Yukon means so much to
Alaska and the territory means so
much to the United States in gold
production and in other latent mineral
and other development that the lack
of general knowledge regarding its
characteristic must be surprising to
the sojourner in this country who
comes from its banks.-New YORK

With all her sassy talk to
"Uncle Sam" Germany doesn't
hesitate to use our harbors for re-
pairing or interning her merchant
ship destroying sea rovers without so
much as by your leave. WhenGer-
many wants favor we are neutral
all right, but when the Allies ask
one, no matter how reasonable and
legitimate, the United States, by
granting it, is forthwith subjected
to a severe preachment on what con-
stitutes the rights of neutral ma
ton toward belligerents.

Don't you know those old veter-
ans believe that if Lee and Jackson
were in command of the Allied
forces, with all that tremendous ar
ray of men and equipment to back
them up, the European war would
soon be brought to a close? We
believe ourself that with both these
matchless leaders on one side they
could have taken either European
army and licked the other.

Editor Applet.

The sudden passing OF Editor
Louis Applet last week was to us a
distinct shock and we can scarcely
realize yet that the big, strong man,
seemingly the embodiment of health
and vitality, has been thus ruthless
w stricken down, almost without
warning.
We have known Mr. Appelt for
seventeen years and have always
esteemed him as personal friend.
He had hundreds of friends all
through South Carolina, who are
shocked and grieved by his death.
Among the newspaper men OF the
State he was very popular and his
paper was welcome visitor to ev-
cry exchange desk.
He had striven long and achieved
much. He now sleeps. May he
rest in peace.

French phx,leIan In Demand.

Doctor Doyen, the French surgeon,
is generally considered to be the
wealthiest medical man in the world.
He is also one of the busiest, and It
is proverbial In Paris that no healthy
man can ever get talk with him. Pa
tients come from every part OF the
world to his private hospital in the
Rue Duret, and in recent years he has
had all his more important surgical op-
erations cinematographed, with the OBJ
ject of leaving exact records Of his
work for the aid of other surgeons.

John Bunny the idol Of millions OF
cinematograph patrons, died Sun
day at his home in Brooklyn, after
an illness of three weeks. Bunny
was a prime favorite, especially

earned him, it is said, a salary big
ger than that of the President of the
United States.

APPRECIATION.
Mr.. Chandler C0mmends Work
of Misses McLees and Edwards.

| OF Misses MCLeeS anu EO"dfuo'
Editor County Record
Will you allow me space through
your highly appreciated paper, not
to seek notoriety, but to express
my views, as l see them? If | am
correctly informed the good work
that is being carried on by Miss
McLees and Miss Edwards will soon
be discontinued. If this be true
shame be upon oursgrand old county
of Williamsburg. Ihave been watch
ing with great delight the good
work of these noble young ladies, as
they travel throughout the county,
carrying on their good work with a
horse and buggy, taking lunch with
them in order that they could cover
all the territory possible. Have we
any men that would do as these Ia
dies have done? | say no. The men
would stop with some one and get a
warm dinner, not caring whether they
ever got around. These young Ia
dies several times stopped at my
home and urged me to do more than
ever to help carry on the good work.
Any man that can't see the good
work these young ladies are doing
and appreciate it enough to come
out and endorse their work. fail to
see what manner of manhood they
possess.
have had the pleasure of visiting
Marion county and had the great
pleasure of meeting Miss Brown and
Miss Adkins, who are doing the
same work. If those who are op-
posed to the continuation of carry
ing on the good work done by Miss
McLees and Miss Edwards would 60
to Marion and meet Miss Brown and
Miss Adkins and see the good work
they have done and not change their
mind, | fail to see their mind. These
young ladies have had no encourage.
ment from their Superintendent OF
Education, but the good work goes
on all the same. l am glad to say
that our County Superintendent of
Education has rendered Miss McLees
and Miss Edwards all the aid he
could, which l think the good people
of our county should endorse. / am
glad to say that Miss McLees and
Miss Edwards are not without
friends, either of them can secure
good positions, and it would be an
honor to any county to have these
noble ladies cast their lots with them.
wish to openly endorse Miss Nc
Lees and Miss Edwards good work
and say that the good work done by
these ladies will shine and it can't
be hid under a bushel. but what it
will shine, so that those that are op-
posed to continuing these young la.
dies can't help from seeing it, and
be men open to conviction and come
out like men and say 80, and not try
to rob these noble young ladies of
their good work.
Twill call attention to our last
Field day. That needs no comment,
speaks for itself. Young ladies, 60
on with your good work, those that
oppose you can't rob you of your
good work, the good people of Will
liamsburg who are interested in the
welfare of the young ladies and
young men should endorse the good
work of these young ladies and ask
them to continue their good work,
