REX STEELE BADLY BURNED
Gasoline Tank EXplodes, Setting
Fire to His ClOtheS-ThOSe
West End Roads.

DR.. Rex Steee, of Pounding Mill,
vas painfully burned ut his home on
Wednesday afternoon by the explo-
sion Of gasoline tank. His hands
were burned badly, but not necessari-
ly permanently injured. DR.. p. d.
Johnston went from this town We'd
nesday night to attend the injured
man, and when he reached Pound
ing Mill, found young Mr.. Steele sit
ting up on the front porch wrapped
in cotton, which had been saturated
in linseed oil. He went to work on
him, and peeled out several pounds
of skin, and bandaged the upper por-
tion of his body, wrapped up his ears
and fixed him up to be as comforta-
BILE as possible under the circumstanc-
es. DR.. Steele will live on fried chick
en- and old ham for the next few
weeks, as his mother, Mrs. w. b.
Steele has fine flock of friers on
hand and the smokehouse full of
good old hams. A citizen from this
town accompanied DR.. Johnson on
the trip Wednesday night, and is
willing TO add testimony to the doc
tors ability to negotiate any kind
of road with his old Hup. He can
climb fences, jump bitches and make
the old "boat" do any kind of stunt.
And if there's good clear patch of
road ahead, he can pick up speed to
about-well, doctors are allowed n
little more freedom than other folks.
The greatest trouble the doctors en-
counter in riding at night is with
old cows and hogs, who monopolize
the roads in certain sections, but the
beasts were in the clear Wednesday
night, and we came from Pounding
Mill by way of Wardell in little or
no time.
1t is always customary when writ
ing an article of this kind to "cuss'
the bad roads, but about all fellow
can say in this case is that the road
after leaving the macadam in Bap.
tist Valley is doubly disgraceful te
civilized community, and that the
hog-path called road, over Smiths
Ridge, should be fenced in and ex
hibited to the future generations, ol
to "posterity" borrowed from thu
bond issue campaign) to show thu
folly and reckless and careless manner
in which our forefathers squandefet
their money.

day evening Professor Ferguson, tho

evenings, in addition. The United

special interest on Tuesday night
Madame DENNY, the colored sing

isl Tuesday night were both pro-
nounced excellent by good judges.

Judges one of the best efforts of the

the subject that following the plans
the u. S. Food Administration offers
will materially improve the American

it is also healthful TO follow your

So much also may be saved by

provide its own canned products for
next winter. Call on Miss st. Clair
for any information you may want
along the line, and if she is not able
to supply it off-hand, she will get it
for you. You may make this de-
