II famigerato foglio dele otto
strade, abituato a tutto falsare,
da quando e rimasto solo senza
controllo, mel numero del 26 giu-
gno pubblicava, in inglese ed in
italiano, una colonna circa di ro-
ba che costituisce un capolavoro
di impudenza e di ipocrisia.
In verita tn rimani perplesso

lie menzogne o il redattore inco-
sciente che, con soverchio zelo, lie
ha sfolnate calde calde per uso

In quegli "Echi Rilievi di GRO
naca" s'incomincia col deplorare

mo contro lie arti maIvage del
Cavaliere, che sollecito solo di

circondato ancora una volta del

nuto lontano dale manifestazio-
nj migliOli cOnnaZionali,
che, per mile prove e per mil
lie motivi, erano piu di lui degni
di partecipare ad una manifesto
zione eminentemente italiana.
Che la Missione sia stata invi-
tata dial Sindaco Smith, nessuno
di moi ha discusso; che sia
rimasta soddisfatta dele acco-
glienze entusiastiche, e fuori di
ogni dubbio. Ma la buona riusci-
ia del festeggiamenti va dovuta
esclusivamente al patriottismo
della colonia, che, sebbene messa
a dura prova, esplose col piu de
lirante entusiasmo; va dOvuta al
POrdine "Figli d'Italia" che, col
Penergico ausilio del r. Console,
ha potuto, almeno in parte, sven

In answer to such, my dear

that it was my duty to do so.
There was however a person
who interviewed me in reference

MRS. WARNER TALKS
|ABOUTWARWORKERS
REGISTRATION OF WOMEN AND
OTHER SERVICE FOR THE
NATION EXPLAINED.

Emphasis on President Wilson's
declaration that the war cannot be
won without the united support of
the women of the land was the fea-
ture of an inspiring address by Mrs.
Lena o. Warner Monday afternoon be-
fore an earnest group of Columbia
women at the First Methodist church.
Mrs. Warner, who has charge of the
rural health work of the division of
extension of the University of Ten
nessee, is engaged in field work for
the Woman's League for National
Service. She told yesterday about
what the women of America are do
ing to equip hospitals for the Red
Cross and in other ways perform va
rious kinds of service for the nation.
She urged every woman to partici-
pate and assist in the registration of
women in Tennessee during the Sec
Ond week in October. 1t is probable
that Mrs. Warner will return to Co
lumbia at an early date to deliver
another address on this subject, at
which time it is hoped that every
woman who did not hear her Monday
will be present.

COURT HOUSE TO
Be WARM DJR| c
COOLEST WEATHER
NEW BOILER INSTALLED AND
FURNACE RESET WITH SMOKE.
LESS DOWN DRAFT.
N. N. BRADLEY WAS CONTRACTOR
Improvements Cost $1,165 And Will
Eliminate Smoke Nuisance That
Occurred Last Winter-Given Test
Monday and Tuesday.

Habitants of the Court House will
not suffer the fortunes of cold weather
and persons on the streets about
Court Square will not be subjected to
smoke as thick and dingy as that
about the Union station in Nashville
this winter, because the heating plant
has been rebuilt and was given a sat
isfactory test yesterday by M. NJ.
Bradley, who had the contract for in
stalling a new boiler and resetting
the furnace.
1t will be remembered that last win
ter for about two weeks during the
coolest weather of the season, officials
and attaches of the Court House Off
ces lowered over smoking, smelly
coal oil stoves while trying to keep
themselves warm enough to perform
the necessary duties of their offices.
The draft of the furnace was such
last winter that dense volumns of
smoke were emitted from the smoke
stack much to the discomfort of the
people on the streets and the bust
ness houses in that section Of the
city. AS reset the furnace has a
smokeless down draft which, if prop
erly fired, will prevent all smoke and
be a conserver Of fuel.
The old boiler had given trouble
since it was installed and finally got
so bad that at the July term of the
quarterly court committee was ap-
pointed to have new boiler put in
and the furnace moved back to a posi-
ton that would give 1t better draft
The contract was given to M. NJ
Bradley, who completed the work
Monday at a cost of $1,165 and took
advantage Of the cool weather Tues
day to give it thorough trial. 1t
worked satisfactorily and the Court
House folks are rejoicing.
