Ashland Has New
Tourist Attraction

While on your evening stroll
through lithia park, II you are ac-
costed by shining creature which
looks like a spark from the kitchen
stove don't make a hurried retreat
or visit the doctor for medicine for
the nerves or eyesight, but stop a
minute and investigate our new dis
covery, for more than likely you have
met with one Of the new inhabitants
Of Lithia park and one which Is
decided novelty attraction-the glow
worm.
Recent picnlckers up the canyon
report that they have noticed the lit
tie worms in many places, and It is
now even rumored that parties are
being arranged for the sole purpose
of visiting the sylvan haunts and to
seek the tiny ball of light in his nay-
tive haunt. Again, II Is said that if
the insects keep on increasing, their
heat will warm the waters of Ashland
creek to such an extent that the Ash
land citizens will have hot water for
their baths at night and cold
water for domestic purposes in the
daytime (the glow-worm is only no.
ticeable at night. And way not cap
ture group of the tiny creatures
and train them to do stunts which
would make decided tourist attrac-
tion for the auto camp grounds at
night? At any rate, the park COM
mission will not have TO worry about
their new attraction being carried
away by mischievous young America,
for they are afraid OF the new arrival
because of his formldably warm ap-
pearance. And why not start an In
dustry of canning the discussed sub
ject and shipping them to nearby cit
les to adorn the electric chandeliers,
the reading tables and the electric
light poles?
But we must return to the news Of
our article. Several parties of pic
nickers report that they have noticed
several glow-worms In the damp
places near Ashland creek up the
canyon.

Damages Of Sl,7S6
Against Geo. Barron

Damages for s1,7S6 were awarded
Justin Judy in a suit for damages of
$4,000 against George Barron of
Ashland in the circuit court at Jack
sonville Friday. The case grew out
of collision on the Pacific Highway
near Talent last summer, when Bar
ron is alleged to have driven his au-
tomobile into buggy driven by
Judy. Judy claimed to have been
injured in the smash. Barron struck
the buggy from behind.
Attorneys Neff and Briggs address,
ed the jury for the defendant and At
torney A. z. Reames for the plaintiff.
The defense maintained no damage
had been inflicted upon the complain
ant, that he suffered from physical
ailments before the accident occurred
and that his failure to have lights on
his outfit and his being Oh the wrong
side of the road disqualified his
claim for damages.
Attorney Reames spent consider
able time attempting to refute the
testimony of Benton Bowers and Ed
Staples, witnesses for the defense,
and vigorously attacked the state
ment of George Barron on the stand
that he was not exceeding the speed
limit at the time of the smash.

A request had been made by the

ment will be feature CT our cele-
bration that a good many have never
witnessed and will add to the spirit
of the occasion. The stay in Ashland

be made to bring heavy equipment

lied since coming to the United
States, we're registered by Postmaster
Kaiser. Orders from the government
appointed Postmaster Kaiser deputy
marshal for ten days and required
that all alien enemies be required to

enough to materially reduce the fruit

THE SANTEE BRIDGE.

Charleston, Dec. Ito thresh out
the details of the proposed bridge or
bridges over the Santce River, the
Charleston Chamber Of Commerce has
called conference to be held at Flor
encc at 10 o'clock Friday morning,
December 2l. Invitations to this con-
ference have been extended to the
mayors Of the various towns in all
the counties in eastern South Caro-
lima, to the chamber of commerce
officials in such towns, to county Off
cials, and to the delegates who at
tended the recent hearing on the pro-
Ject before the State Highway Com
mission at Columbia. No less than
fifteen counties are interested in the
conference.
The spirit prevailing in Charleston
at this time is one Of determination
not to all ow the Santce River to re-
main any longer barrier between
the upper and lower sections of east
ern South Carolina. Charleston has
stated repeatedly that it is willing to
do even more than its share to have
bridge or bridges built, as the feel
ing here is that the crossing of the
Santce River will be great forward
step for both the Pee Dee and the
coast.
