 When he had gone there was a short silence. which Havey finally broke with a question:
 Why didn't ye say all these things to Jeb? l sent the letter on his say so."
 But you sent it-and all the Havey power is fin your hands. Jeb wouldn't understand such plea. I come to the fountainhead. My school is not a Ha- vey school nor a McBriar school. It is meant to open its doors to both sides of the ridge, regardless of factions"
 Did young Milt come there ter git eddication? thought he went to col lege down below" The question car ried an undernote of irony.
 Juanita shook her head.
 No" she answered. He came there as any other passer-by might have come. and he hasn't come often. Let me keep the children and he shant come again"

I say that again. Ye can't take fire out of blood with books. But if ye've done persuaded Brother Anse that you're doin' good, I didn't want him to hear me belittle ye"
 Anse Havey went to the window. where he drank deeply of the spiced air Then he began to speak again. aAd this time it was in voice the girl had never heard-a voice that held the fire of the natural orator and that was colorful with emotion.
 The first time ye saw me ye made up your mind what character of man was. Ye made it up from hearsay evi- dence, and ye ain't never give me a chance to show ye whether ye was right or wrong. Ye say I've never dreamed a dream Good God! ma'am, I've never had no true companionship except my dreams.

 These are my best friends" he said and she read on the covers. "Plu, tarch's Lives" and Tragedies of Will liam Shakespeare"
 The girl looked up in amazement and she met in his gaze a fire and ca gerness which silenced her.
 She felt wild thrill of admiration not such as any other man had ever caused, but such as she had felt when she watched the elemental play ol | lightning and thunder and wind along the mountain tops.

I've stood up there on the ridge with Julius Caesar and Al exander the Great, an it seemed to me that 1 could see 'em as plain as I see you now. I could see the sun shinin' on the eagles of the legion an the shields of the phalanx. I'm rich enough, reckon, to live amongst other men that read books. but dream keeps me here. The dream is that some day these here mountains shall come into their own. These people have got it in 'em ter be a great people, an I've stayed here because 1 aimed to try an help 'em."
 "But." she faintly expostulated, you seem to stand for the very things that hold them back. You speak almost reverentiy of their killing instinct and you oppose schools"

CT schools into larger, stronger graded schools. with high school courses, directed by a competent principal and corps of teachers.
 On the other hand, in counties which have improved their roads, the schools are easily reached, the aver age attendance greater, the efficiency largely increased and economic con- solidation made possible. Regular at- tendance at school means consistent and regular growth of both school and pupil, and consolidation of schools means a maximum of efficiency at minimum of cost. It is also note worthy that there Is a marked tend ency for the consolidated school to be- come the social and intellectual cen ter of the community. Most modern rural schoolhouses are so constructed as to serve the community as gather. ing places for various kinds of public meetings, and where vans are used to convey the children to school during the day they are frequently pressed into service to haul the farmers and their wives to institute work, lectures, or entertainments at the schoOlhouse. The consolidated school becomes sort of community center to which all educational and social activities con- verge, and In order that it may pro- perly perform that function all of the highways leading to it should be so improved as to render it readily &C., cessible throughout the year.

CHAPTER XII.

In other years Bad Anse Havey re- membered the days in that house when the voices of women and children had been raised in song and laughter Then the family had gathered in the long winter evenings before the roaring backlogs, and spinning wheel and quilt ing frame had not yet gone to the cob long ago.
 The quarter-century over which his memory travelled had brought changes even to the hills. The impalpable ghost of decay moves slowly. with no sound save the occasional click of a sagging door here and the snap of cord there, but in twenty-five years 1t moves-and an inbred generation comes to impaired manhood. Since Bad Anse himself had returned from Frankfort his house had been tenanted only by men. and an atmosphere of grimness hung in it's shadows. A half dozen unkempt and loutish kinsmen dwelt there with 'im, tilling the ground and ready to bear arms. More than once they had beer needed.
 It was to this place that Juanita Hol- land and the preacher were making their way on that October afternoon.
 At the gate they encountered soli- tary figure gazing stolidly out to the front, and when their coming reused it out of its gloomy reverie it turned and presented the scowling face of Jeb McNash.
 Where air they?" he demanded wrathfully, wheeling upon the two ar rivals. and then he repeated violently: By heaven. where air they? Why hain't ye done fetched Dawn and Jesse?"
 "Jeb." said the missionary quietly. we done come over hyar fust ter hes speech with Anse Havey. Whar's he at?"
 T reckon he's iL his house, but ye haint answered my question I'm ther one for ye ter talk ter fust. Hits my sister ye've done been sufferin' ter consort with murderers, an hits me ye've got ter reckon with" Brother Talbot only nodded. Son. be gently assured him. we aims ter talk with you, too, but I reckon ye haint got no call ter hinder us from hayin speech with Anse first" For . moment Jeb stood dubious then he jerked his head toward the house.
Tombstone epitaph., 1917-01-28

and stalked away. even before the com ing of the note she knew what would happen. and what would happen not only in this instance. but in others like it. This would not be just losing Dawn. bad as that was. IL would be paralysis and death to the school; it would mean the leaving of every Ha- vey boy and girl
 So she stood there, and afterward said quietly: "Milt. l guess you'd bet ter go." and Milt had gone grayely and unquestioningly. but with that in his eye which did not argue brightly for restoration of peace between his house and that of his enemy.
 When the two girls had gone to- gether into the cabin Dawn stood with face that bianchei as sine began to realize what 1t all meant, then slowly she stitfened ard her hands, too, clenched and her eyes kindled.
 She came across 10 the chair into which the older girl had dropped list lessly and, falling to her knees, seized both Juanita's hands. She seized them tightly and fiercely. and her eyes were blazing and her voice broke from her lips in turgid vehemence.
 T hain't a-goin' ter leave vel" cried Dawn. T hain't a-goin' ter do it."
 No word had been spoken of her leaving but in this life they both knew that certain things bring certain re- suits. and they were expecting a note from Bad Anse.
 "I hope not, dear" said Juan!ta. but without conviction.
 Then the mountain girl sprang up and became transformed. With her rigid figure and blazing eyes she seemed a torch burning with all the pent-up heritage of her past.
 '1 tells ye I ain't a-goin' ter leave vel" she protested. and her utterance swelled to fiery determination. "Es fer Milt McBriar, l wouldn't spit on him. l hates him. hates his mur. derin' breed I hates 'em like" she paused a moment, then finished tu, multuously like all hell. l reckon I'm es good a Havey as Jeb. l hain't seen Jeb do nothin' yit."
 Again she paused, panting with pas. sionate rage. then swept on while Jua. nita looked at her sudden metamor, phosis into fury and shuddered.
 When wasn't nothin' but baby fetched victuals ter my kinfolks a hidin' out from revenuers. l passed right through men thet war a-trailin 'em. I've done served my kinfolks afore, an I'd do hit ergin. but reckon l haint a-goin' ter let 'em take me away from ye"
 Juanita could think of only one step to take. so she sent Jerry Eyerson for Brother Talbot. whom she had seen riding toward the shack hamlet in the valley.
 Thar haint but one thing thet ye kin do," said Good Anse slowly when he and Juanita sat alone over the prob | lem with the note of Havey command l lying between them. An haint no ways sartain thet hitT come tel

nothin'. We've got ter go over thar an have speech with Anse."
 Juanita drew back with a start of distaste and repulsion. Yet she had known this all along.
 "Ye see" she heard the missionary saying, "thar's jest one way Anse kin handle Jeb. an nobody else kaint handle him at all He thinks he's right. I reckon ef ye kin persuade Anse ter reason with him yell hev ter promise that Young MiIt hain't a-goin' ter hang round hyar."
 I'd promise almost anything. cant give them up-I can't-I cant!"
 "Ef Anse didn't perfect little Dawn from the McBriars. Jeb would, ter a Gods certainty. kill Young Milt." went on the preacher. and the girl nodded miserably.

GOOD ROADS HELP CHILDREN
Improved Highways of Great Benefit to Them in Going and Coming
 From Country Schools

The rural population is more willing to support better schools today than at any previous time. It is being re- alized that all educational activities or agencies must be more or less cor related. and. more than all else, that they must be more accessible to the children. In many counties where bad roads prevail, most of the schools are of the anticipated one-room va riety. They are usually located along bad roads which, during the winter, when the schools are usually in ses- sion, become so nearly impossible as to make it difficult for the children to reach them. This condition causes irregular attendance and restricts the educational opportunities of the child. Not only this, but it often impedes the economic consolidation of these small-

If you have ever ridden along a country road which has been worked to a peak in the center so that your load tilted one way while you tried to keep your balance by tilting the other, you know what the wrong kind of road dragging is.
 Roads so dragged should be reported to the road supervisor, or the county engineer Such roads are positively dangerous.

REPORT ON DEPOSITS
OF BAUXITE IN GEORGIA
FuIIer'S Earth Also Described
in Booklet Issued by State
Geological Department

A report on the bauxite and Fuller s
earth found on the coastal plain of Geor-
gia has Just been issued by the geolog-
ical department of the state of Georgia,
and is a most interesting and valuable
dissertation on this highly important
subject
The report contains $40 pages of print
ed matter and a large number of half
tone illustrations, tog uhher with a geo.
logical map of the costlH plains, showing
the location of the Individual deposits
of these two mineral. The report was
prepared by H. X. Shearer. assistant
state geologist
The introduction and part one of The
report treats of the formation of the
coastal plain. the physical and chem
ical characteristics of the bauxite de-
pOsits, the mode of occurrence and a
general description of the deposits.
Part two treats of the occurrence and
distribution of the Fuller's earth de-
posts of this region, description of in
dividuaI deposits, methods of mining and
so forth. The Importance of the issuing
of this report at this time is in the fact
that it should prove a valuable aid TO
the munition-making industry. Bauxite,
when made into aluminium. has a very
wide range of use, both in the initial
metal and in alloys and various compo-
sitions.
Fuller's earth is being widely used in
the refinement of cotton seed and petrol
cum oils. Copies of this report may be

WASHINGTON, July 2.-The selec
tive service system is one of equalil!
and fairness, President Wilson explain
ed today in a proclamation accompany
ing exemption and selective regulations
issued today.
His proclamation said:
The regulations which l am today
causing to be promulgated, pur-
suant to the direction of the selec-
tive service law, cover the remain
ing steps of the plan for calling into
service Of the United States quail
fed men from those who have reg
istered; those selected the result
of this process to constitute with
the regular army, the national guard
and the navy, the fighting forces of
the nation, all of which forces are
under the terms of the law placed
in a position of equal right, dignity
and responsibility with the members
of all other military forces.
The regulations have been drawn
with a view to the needs and cir
cum stances of the whole country
and provide a system which it is
expected will work with the least
inequality and personal hardship.
Any system of selecting men for
military service, whether voluntary
or involuntary in it's operation,
necessarily selects some men to bear

BRING s2.35 PER CRATE.
Heavy Movement Going on.
but Prices Continue *
CeIIent and Firm

June peaches from Georgia have been
bringing excellent prices this season.
according to reports received at the
Georgia Fruit exchange, although the
heaviest movement of peaches in sew
eral years for this month has beens
handled. The better grades are bring-1
ing 1895 a crate f. o. b. shipping point,
with numerous buyers in the market.
This means that purchasers are paying
that figure, with freight and icing
charges additional. Both growers ands
dealers throughout the state are well
pleased with the situation.
The Hiley variety, which is now at
the height of it's season, are of excel
lent size and color, owing it is said, to
recent rains in the peach belt. These
are moving at the rate of 100 cars per
day with a total for the past week of
$50 cars. They are finding ready mar
ket everywhere.
The Georgia Bell peach crop, which
begins moving on Wednesday Of this
week, is exceedingly short, experts stat
ing that $50 cars are all in sight at
the present time and little or no pros-a
pect of an increase.
Although the government has assuref
