The story of the Potter-Pryor duel,

HAS GEYSERS OF ALL KINDS
No Display Like That in the Yellow
stone Can Be Found in All
the World.

Perhaps there have been greater
geyser basins somewhere in the pre-
historic past. There may be greater
still to come; one or two promising
possibilities are in Alaska, writes
Robert Sterling Yard, in 1.-THE Book of
the National Parks" But for the
lapse of geologic time in which man
has so far lived. Yellowstone has cor
nered the worlds geyser market.
There are only two other places where
one may enjoy the spectacle Of large
geysers. One of these is New Zea-
land and the other Iceland; but both
displays combined cannot equal yell
lowstone's either In the number or the
size Of the geysers.
Yellowstone has dozens of geysers
of many kinds. They range in size
from the little spring that spurts a
few inches every minute to the mon
ster that hurls hundreds of feet in the
air every six or eight weeks. Many
spout at fairly regular intervals of
minutes or hours or days. Others
are notably irregular, and those in
clude most of the largest. Old Faith

Birds Have Right of Way.

Fowl have the right of way in air,
warns the director of military aero
nautics. This is justice indeed, since
birds flew first.
But this is not all. Recently many
towns along the Atlantic coast have
been visited with dead bird showers.
Aviators flying by a town would see q
flock of wild fowl coming their way.
They would set their machine guns
and let the bullets fly.
Presently a prominent citizen walk
ing below would be hit with a large
bloody bird. He complained to the
department of agriculture. Then the
federal migratory bird law between
the United States and Great Britain
was referred to, and it was found that
shooting birds from airplanes is I'M
lawful.

Parchmented Leather Valuable.

Parchmented leather has greater
strength while lacking the elasticity
of tanned leather, and the betting of
NJ. Felice Giiardiri of Turin is designed
to combine these special qualities. The
hide being impressed deeply with a
trelliswork pattern, the compressed
portions are unaffected by tanning
agents, while the Interior of the
meshes is tanned in the usual way.
The product has the required elasticity
and is claimed to be so strong that
belts may be much narrower than the
ordinary.

METHODISTS MAY BUILD
ANOTHER HOUSE OF
WORSHIP IN ABBEVILLE

It is understood that there is a
movement on foot among the Metho-
dists to build another church. The
proposition was informally discussed
at a congregational meeting Sunday
but no definite action was taken.
It is very probable that another
meeting will be held in the near fu-
ture at which time committee Will
be appointed to consider the matter
and report back to a congregational
meeting. -
Nothing has been said as to the
cost of the new church, but It is un-
derstood that the Methodists want to
onstruct a handsome building, mod
ern in every respect and having a
much larger apacity than the present
structure.

COAL FAMINE IS
NOW FEARED

Washington, Sept. 19.-Because
of the strong probability of coal
famine during the coming winter and
desiring to prevent such a situation
if possible, senator's from the States
of South Carolina, Georgia, North
Carolina and Florida, in conjunction
with the Appalachian Coal o Operators
Association, have called a meeting to
be held in Washington September "a.
Car shortage is said to be the
prime reason for failure to make de-
liveries which may cause the threat
ened coal famine. Senator Harris OF
Georgia, took the matter up last
week with the railroad administra-
ton and Senator Fletcher Of Florida,
on behalf Of the Pensacola interests
is protesting against the same condi-
ton in his State. Senator Dial, be-
cause of the large number of cotton
mills using coal in South Carolina
and the trouble generally that fam
inc this winter would cause has be-
ONE active in the matter and is prob
able that Senator Smith of Georgia,
Senator Smith of South Carolina and
those from other States affected will
lend their presence to the meeting to
be held next week. A shortage Of
coal this winter would tie up the en-
tire South and paralyze many Of her
largest industries, it is said.

"FLU' REPORT TO

NOT ALARMING

Washington, Sept. 21.-Two hun
dred and seventy-five cases Of inhu-
enza were reported to the United
States public health service for the
week ending September 13, it was an
nounced today.
Officials do not regard this as
alarming, however, since for years
past the disease has been prevalent,
and the present season is one in
which it ordinarily shows an in
crease. RI. g.. H. +

ports have been received:

Officials say there probably will
be recurrence Of the epidemic this
autumn.
According to Rupert Blue, surgeon
general Of the public health service,
doctors do not know whether or not
know whether or not some Of the
cases thought to be common colds
are influenza.
'The one great need in providing
effective control is the discovery Of
SONS way in which the disease al
ways can be Identified said General
Blue. "Ihe Pfeiffer bacillus, or So
called influenza bacillus,l is easy
enough to identify, but there is
grave doubt if this is the germ Of in
fuenza. a. \
'In the first place it is frequently
found in the sputum and in the
lungs of persons suffering from dis
ease other than influenza, and sec
ond, it is not always present in cases
that are undoubtedly influenza.
"A positive means Of diagnosing
influenza only can be arrived at by
the most painstaking and extensive
scientific investigation carried oil

workers" ",.'r"> n.
