ARIZONA GETS
 NOTABLE BOOST

Phoenix is given prominent section, attractively illustrated with half tone cuts, in the latest issue of a publica- tion printed for the Far Western Trav- elers' association. Secretary Harry Welch, of the chamber of commerce, has been presented with a copy of the booklet. An article by the governor, sets forth the virtues of this section of the United States, and the frontis- piece of the division in the booklet de- voted to this state, contains a picture of the governor and of Roosevelt dam, together with the state capitol.
 Comparative maps, drawn accord ing to exact scale, show that the states of Bulgaria, Switzerland, Portugal, the Netherlands, and Montenegro, would all comfortably fit within the space occupied by Arizona with room to | spare. In a comparative map of New Mexico, it is shown that the divisions of England, Scotland Ireland and Wales, would all fit into the neighboi state, with room around the edges
 Calling attention to this, the pamph- let declares that while the population | of Arizona is about 250,000 there is room here for a million people, ant the world is invited to look us over with a view to utilizing some of tn, | space.

ABBEVILLE HELPS
SWELL ARMY FURTHER

Twenty-seven white men left yes
terday afternoon on the Seaboard
as another Abbeville County con-
tribution to the forces at Camp
Jackson. Mr.. James Calvin Steven
son acted as captain and Mr.. Abner
Milford Dodson was appointed first
lieutenant. Lieutenant Snodgrass,
of Camp Jackson, was sent up to
take official charge of the men.
1t seemed to be a L~owndesville
HON egathering, for most of the
men seemed to come from that Sec
ton. Leftridge Manning, age %,
who likes the idea of leaving very
much, was decorated with a flower,
the parting gift of some young lady
the night before. He had a little
red morocco New Testament in his
pocket, believing in starting the
thing right.
j. H. Wilson, who has been farm,
ing at Parksville, also is glad to get
into the big doings. AS he entered
the line, a friend hollered, "Wish
was going with you," and he looked
like he meant it. Noah McMahan

bunch. Like his old namesake, he
has no fear of the water. Asked if
he was married, he said no and he
didn't hope to be. He was confident
that he would get a pretty French
maiden when he got there. "Some
lady-killer, eh?" a friend %interject-

James Grant, Knox Campbell and

I hated to do was to leave my wife"
he said. He has been married only
three months. While he is away,
his wife will stay with her sister and
his brother i n Greenwood. For the
two brothers married two sisters.
Leon Grant, who also lives in Green
wood, registered in Missouri and only
heard yesterday that he was to leave
today. However, he said that he
was anxious to 60 and have it over
whit. Special mention should be
made of Floyd Jordon, the youngest
member of the bunch. He is twen-
ty-one and just registered the other
day. Consequently, he would not
have gone for some time. However,
he wanted to 60 Immediately and
volunteered. He lives at Calhoun

UNUSUAL SNOW FALL.
QUARTER INCH OF SNOW COMES
FROM cLOUDLESS SKY

An unusual phenomena was obser-
we'd locally Sunday night and early
Monday morning. For about two
hours before midnight and an hour or
more afterwards snow fell from an
sky. The flakes were not
thick or heavy but the length of
time of the fall left about a quarter
of an inch depth on the ground. Nor
was a cloud to be seen during the
entire length of The precipitation.
The snow fall at times was quite
and the flakes of good
size, .... ..
Explanation of the occurrence is
given by some of the weather wise
as follows: The air near the surface
OF the earth was sur-charged with
moisture from some source. A sudden
lowering of the temperature from a
bove caused this to condense in the
form of frost crystals, not snow, when
quite near the surface of the earth and
to fall like snow
Old timers say that like occurrences
with the Indians was sign of good
times, portending a fruitful year to
follow.

BIC BRIDGE: ABLAZE
SECOND TIME WITHIN A FEW
WEEKS-SMALL DAMAGE.

Fire threatened the high bridge"
on the Peoria line of the NJ. & st. L.
railway south of town. about midway
between Market and c streets, about
two o'clock Sunday afternoon. This
was the second time the structure
has been ablaze and attended by the
city fire department within the space
of few weeks Sundays fire was
going at a lively clip when the fire
department arrived, and three tanks
of chemical were required to control
the trouble.
A double-header had passed over
the bridge about a half hour before
the fire was discovered and the
bridge was likely fired by the drop
ping of live Goals from the fire box
of one of the engines.
The fire was first seen by Earl Jul
Der and a number of boy companions
who were coasting near the bridge.
But before the lads could get to a tel
ephone the smoke had attracted at
tention of residents near by and the
department was notified.
While some of the heavy timbers
of the bridge were charred by the
blaze, the structure was not material
ly harmed. No repairs were neces-
sary to continue use of the bridge.
