THE PATRIOTIC RALLY,
Meeting Was Real Incentive to Patl.i-
otism and Love Of Country,

The patriotic rally held in Wal
halla last Thursday was quite a sue
cess, though not as many out-of-town
people were present as it was hoped
would join in the celebration. This
was not surprise, however, for the
day was an ideal one, all farm work
Is badly behind, every hour of time
counts in the preparation Of crops
and soil, and those who had work to
be done were right to stay with it.
The auditorium of the Walhalla
High School was we'll filled, however,
the gallery being occupied by colored
people, the main auditorium being
reserved for the white people.
Some splendid speeches were made
by r. T. Jaynes, Esq, Harry r.
Hughs, Esq, Mayor w. M. Brown,
Wade G. Hughs, Esq, and others.
Ellison Smith, Clifton Cobb and Miss
Annie Strutton were on the program
for an oration, the reading Of the
Ride of Paul Revere and a recitation,
their parts adding greatly to the oc-
casion.
w. y. 1uOuidS, cOlOEeu, tSdCHer OF
the colored school Of Walhalla, was
invited to the stand and made a
sound and patriotic talk, in which
he called attention to what "The
Flag" had done for the colored race
and what the colored people had done
in serving "The Flag" He closed
his remarks with the statement that
where had never been a negro traitor
to the American flag, and that he, as
an humble representative of the ne
gro race, bespoke the loyal support
Of the 100000 colored population
in the raising Of the army Of soldiers
and the army Of workers III the cause
OF raising more food supplies.
The big American flags that ap-
peared here and there along the line
Of march were cheered Justify and
heartily. The Court House flag was
taken down and carried in the parade
by two men, and on it's return to the
Court House was raised in the pres
ence Of a large crowd of people. A
gun salute was fired, the flag was
cheered, and the crowd returned to
the school building. where the days
exercises were concluded.

Coin.Operated Soda Fountain.

An automatic soda fountain has
been patented by resident Of Hous-
ton, Texas, which is operated merely
by dropping the proper coin into a
slot. Contained in an attractive
wooden cabinet are three tanks, one
filled with syrup, another with car
bonic-acid gas, and third, which is
surrounded with ice, Is filled with
water. There Is also container
filed with paraffined cups. When
coin is dropped into the slot 1t re-
leases three delecately balanced le-
vers, one after the other. The first
allows cup to drop from the con-
tainer into an opening, where 1t Is
within reach of the customer. and be-
meath two spouts. When the coin
passes the next lever 1t releases a
spring-operated apparatus that al
lows the proper amount Of syrup to
flow down into the cup. The third
lever operates in the same manner az
the second and allows a little less
than cupful Of iced carbonated wa
ter to flow into the cup. In this way
the drink is properly mixed in SAN
itary way and supplied to the GUS
toner without human aid.
