for United States senator, and Hon. John
A, Peters, Republican candidate for Con-
gress from the Third District, accompa-

from practically every town and planta-
ton in the county listened with the clos
est and most sympathetic attention 10
the messages of Messrs. Milliken. Fernald
and Peters and gave every evidence of a
stirring revival of old-time Republican
enthusiasm.
The meeting was utterly devoid of the
artificial devices so often resorted to for
purposes of creating fictitious interest
and manufactured applause that bespoke
Enthusiastically the general confidence of
victory in September by large margin.
It was noticeable not only for the COM

plantations and the eastern section of the
county, but for the plentiful sprinklins
of former active members of the Progress

RUNAWAY IS
A THRILLER

Railroad square was treated to a thrill
ing runaway Tuesday morning between
11.30 and II o'clock that for a few min
utes promised to give a whole lot OF
trouble and possibly result in the death
of horse or two. The big black pair of
horses owned by the Thomas G. Stevens
Co. were at the freight sheds when in
some way they became frightened and
started to run. They came across the
square at a rapid rate and started up
the Lewiston track toward the yards. One
front wheel came into contact with the
standpipe and was demolished, but the
team kept on and ran head-on into the
rear Of Train No. 5, which was standing
on the track. The pole hit the bumper
of the last car and the impact threw the
horses up against the car and stopped
them. They were captured by employees
of the station before they could get start
ed again. An examination showed that
they were uninjured but the wagon was
badly wrecked. It was a lucky escape
for the horses, as had they got little
to either side they must have been wedg-
ed between the. cars and probably badly
injured.

A DOG FOOLED THEM
ALL AT THE STATION

People who were on the station
Tuesday morning waiting for the 9
o'clock trains saw a little drama en-
acted that was somewhat thrilling
while it lasted. A big extra freight
was coming into the station at a good
rate of speed when large dog start
ed to walk across the track in front
Of the oncoming train. The dog was
apparently paying no attention to the
train and everyone thought he would
surely be hit and several people called
to him. But his dogship had the speed
of that trained timed to the fraction
of a second and his hind legs left the
track just as the front Of the engine
arrived there. The pilot Of the engine
hit the dogs tail a glancing blow and
curling it up to one side he stalked
down the platform, never quickening
his step or turning to look at the train.
The watchers had held their breath for
minute expecting to see him ground
under the wheels of the engin, but
as he went down the platform every
one wo.e a broad smile

ERSKINE ACADEMY
IMPROVEMENTS AND
PLANS FOR FUTURE

South China. Me-. Aug. 15.-(SpeciaD.-
Principal and Mrs. Owen of Erskine acad-
envy arrived on Saturday to give their
personal supervision to Improvement in
the school buildings. to take charge OF
two entertainments, and particularly 10
meet all the prospective students OF TINS
and surrounding vicinities.
Through the persistent efforts or faculty
and students, united with the interest ana
generosity Of the academy's frienos' the
interior of the main building has been
redecorated and refurnished with stand
ard equipment. Now attention will be
turned to the exterior, and those interested
in the work hope that during the next
month it will be possible to raise sum-
'cient money not only to procure new out
side doors and steps but also to paint the
entire building. A part of this fund is
already secured, provided sufhcient sum
can be raised in addition.
With this worthy motive the students
will give a recital in the G. A. X. nan al
South China at SIS P. M. Thursday eve
ming of this week. This recital is planned
to entertain in delightful fashion. White
all the readings will be from the stand
ard authors, particularly Shakespeare and
Dickens, the selections are aboundlng IN
the rich and varied humor that character
ICES the authors. There also VIII be a
good variety of musical numbers, includ-
ing several piano solos.
On the following Tuesday evening. Aug
%, the students will give play and the
program on that evening will include vo-
cal and instrumental selections by some
of the talented guests among the sum-
mer residents. The play in itself Is the
bright little comedy "1ci on Parle
Francois" which made big hit when
the students presented it here in the
spring. With the addition of some real
artists, the program should be one 70
draw and delight a full house.
Both of these entertainments are given
at a difficult time of year to get the stu
dents together in order to secure the CO.
operation and patronage of those who
mass only the summer here. and 1t is
earnestly hoped that large crowd VIII
be in attendance on both evenings to help
along the good cause.
