"The contractors have applied 20 the
Building Department in Richmond Bor-

Staten Islanders, like small boys at

EMPTY SUBWAY CARS BUMP
Collision on Storage Track Causes
Short Block Above 96th Street.

A smash-up of two empty trains on
the storage track beneath Hath Street
and Broadway caused a five-minute
block in the subway above Ninety-slxth
Street shortly before 9 o'clock last
night. Train dispatchers ordered the
mower shut of until the extent Of the
accident could be determined.
One empty train, in charge Of a
switchman, was southbound when II
struck the other, at a standstill on the
centre track. The dropping of the draw
bars allowed the bumpers TO take the
force of the smash and small harm was
done, though a dozen windows in each
train were broken. The switchman was
unhurt.
Interborough officials declined TO re-
veal the cause of the accident. Storage
battery lights burned in the trains
stalled by the power shut-off and pas
sengers were not discounted

SIXTEEN TIMES AROUND THE
EARTH.

Last year Hart Shaffner & Marx
had use for 700,00o,000 yards Of
thread-silk thread, of course,
The figure 70o,o00,o0O is too big
to grasp; it sounds better to say 400,-
600 miles. In other words, the silk
thread used by the greatest Of all
clothing manufacturers in one year
would make about 70 round trips
from New York to Los Angeles, or
would extend 16 times around the
world.

VIM. Glattly Withdraws.

In withdrawing or declining the
nomination for State Senator on the
democratic ticket for the Fifth Sen
atorial district, comprised of the
counties of Decatur, Ringgold and
Union, feel that owe the electors
of this district an explanation for the
action taken.
The channel through which the
nomination came to me is not an ex-
preston of any party or electors but
system.
In withdrawing my name from the
official roll ] wish to assure the pub
lie that it is not done in spirit of
Interpretation, but on the premises
that it is not popular nomination,
which should not be taken ADVANTAGE
of by anyone.
l wish to assure my democratic
brethren that the adverse majority
in this senatorial district had moth
ing to do with my decision and ac-
ton in this matter. Anyone could
feel proud of being one of our stan
dard bearers in the coming political
contest, after SO much needed and
beneficial legislation has been en-
acted into law in the past three
years by the democratic party in
power at Washington.
Nor do look upon the nomination
of state senator of this district by
the democrats as forlorn hope. If
there is anything in the signs that
are apparent at this time on the po-
litical horizon of this district, the
next senator will be democrat who
Will be elected in November.
From the rumblings that you hear
and the smouldering embers that are
beginning to assert themselves
among the ranks of our opponents,
who are beginning to earnestly enter
their protest against the machine
politics of their party, will in my
judgment result in democratic vic
tory and landslide.
In conclusion let me urge that the
proper committee of our party fill
the vacancy caused by my with
drawal, assuring them in advance Of
my hearty support.
Yours for Victory,
VIM. Glattly.

The Watermelon.

The watermelon is a pleasing and
harmless beverage which is 20 pei
cent water and 80 per cent seeds
much on the order of Sunday school
lemonade. Owing to the lack of alco-
hol in the watermelon, it is MUCH in
favor with the clergy and can be
shipped into dry state without re-
curing the customer to swear that
lit is bought for medicinal purposes
only.
Watermelons are grown largely in
the south and are used to sustain
and initiate the colored brother. When
a greedy, wabble-jointed cotton hand
has wrapped himself around thirty
pound watermelon and settled back
for sonorous nap, he will look as if
somebody had attached a tire pump
to him and forgotten to shut off the
engine. The look of perfect content
ment which fastens itself upon the
face of Georgia darkey who has eat
en- six or eight two-story watermel-
ons, seeds and all, is enough to cause
a hardened dyspeptic to jump off the
lake front.
The watermelon has been grown in
this country for hundred years and
thousands have been eaten by our
college professors and other shining
intellects, but nobody has ever dis
covered a way to prevent it from run
ming to seeds and stopping up the
windpipe of the trustful northerner.
The watermelon would be served at
polite social functions more if it
were not for the narrowing fear on
the part of the hostess that some ner-
vous male guest will get few seeds
be operated upon with pair of duck
bill pliers. To a country which boasts
the incubator baby, and the non-cor-
rOsive banana the presence of the
watermelon seed is standing re-
proach.
Watermelons intended for ship
ment are picked before they have
had time to get ripe anywhere ex-
cept on the surface when they are
sent into the far north and bought
insight and unseen by people who
hope for the best. All such purchas-
es are usually followed by disappoint-
ment and a rebellious uprising in the
stomach. Economical housewives try
to get even by manufacturing water
melon pickles, which is fed all winter
to cowed husbands who are too brok-
en- spirited to resist.
The watermelon is great delicacy
when it is allowed to stretch Outand
get ripe internally II there were
more of this kind of watermelons to
be had, the average grocer would
not wear such haunted look.

church services last Sunday morning
were the lowest in ten months. Evil
IDENTIFY the vacation season with it's
picnicing and visiting is not yet past.
We are urging upon the christian
people of Leon that with next Lord
day we turn over new leaf and be-
gin active service for Christ and his
church. If the church is to AXE a
record for itself during the 1916-17
season it must begin to lay it's foun-
dation strong and deep. God knows
the tremendous need of our commun-
ity in things religious, He knows of
souls going down, lost every day be-
cause they have not known of sal
walton. May the people of God be up
and doing in the saving of souls. If
no other church claims or presumes
to claim you for next Sundays SER
vices we cordially invite you to come
and worship with us. We are not at
tempting t, secure the entire town as
members of our own church but we
are hoping in the ministry that is to
be ours as church to the commun-
fty to bring salvation to dying souls.
May Gods blessing rest upon every
effort in the cause of righteousness
on coming Lords Day.
