FLEEING SOUTH
(By United Press.)

WARSAW, Nov. 7.-Twenty-nine
Poles who have just completed a pill
grimage of many months from the
heart of Siberia to the newly redeem
ed city of Minsk. have brought the
news that at least 100000 men taken
prisoner by the Austrians are waiting
in Siberia for an opportune moment to
return to Poland.
According to the newly-returned
refugees who were themselves Aus
trian prisoners of war, western Sibe-
ria is full of homeless men claiming
Polish nationality. Several among
them places the number as high as
100000 The problem created in Pol
and by the returning prisoners and
refugees is already acute. the govern
mont being forced to rely heavily on
Red Cross help to feed and cloth
them. should the number OF refugees
still to return ne in keeping with the
estimate brought by the new arriy-
ais, it will mean an enormous add
tionsl burden.

Or. HARRISON BACK
FROM TRIP NORTH
ARRANGES FOR EARLY SHIP
MENT OF oLDsMoBILES TO
HARRISON MOTOR CO.

DR.. S. Roy Hardison has returned
from a ten days trip to the automo-
bile centers of Michigan. Mr.. Hardi-
son spent some time at the Oldsmo-
bile factory and arranged for early de-
livery of number of cars here. 1t
has been an exceedingly difficult mat
ter for the Hardison Motor Company
to secure the cars to meet their ever
increasing orders, but DR.. Hardison
believes now that this difficulty has
been at least in part obviated.
The Oldsmobile Company are plan
ming big additions to their plant, and
during the coming year will exDend
s70O0,000 in adding to the equipment
This will enable the factory to meet
the growing demand for this popular
car. !.

old John" Is
Dead In Little
Old NeU TX

Charles P. Hatcher, local attorney
has just returned from New York
where he has been on legal business.
Mr.. Hatcher reports splenid trip.
He was asked concerning "atmospher-
ic conditions" in the metropolis. He
said well, it is little dry up there
If it's not dry it looks like it. He was
asked if it was as dry as in Nash
Vile. Well, its not bone dry he said,
| did see a few bottles pulled from
pockets, whose owners requested
cocktails be served before dinner, and
am sure | saw one man drinking inn
ported beer.
1t is gathered from Mr.. Hatcher
that New York, while being dry is
not nearly so arid as the Volunteer
state, but still the great gobs of mois-
ture that once hung over the city no
longer hang there. John Barleycorn
is dead.

Steel Strikers
Heading South
Seeking Work

Roads in Tennessee are good, yea
they are fine compared with those in
Kentucky" said two German boys
who arrived in Columbia Saturday
night on motorcycles, having travelled
from Canton, Ohio, in this manner.
Their destination is somewhere in
Oklahoma" The boys camped for the
night on the bank of Duck river, near
Cherry's shop, and spent Sunday
morning in getting their machines in
shape for the long journey ahead of
them
The boys say they were employed
in the great steel mills in Canton
when the strike came, and belonging
to the union they were thrown out OF
employment, and were obliged to go
south in search of work. The motor
cycles in which they travel are spec
tally equipped with side cars which
contain provisions and parapherna-
liza for campin out. The wheel base
of the cycles-is such that they will
travel in automobile tracks, making
hill climbing an easier task.
The boys say they are glad indeed
the war is over, and intimated that
they left Germany because they did
not wish to fight the United States.

SDitch
For Discipline
Urges Minister

Liberty and Law" was the subject
of most forceful sermon delivered at
the morning service by the Rev. Geo.
o. Watts to the congregation of St.
Peters Episcopal church.
DR.. Watts carried his hearers back
to the dark ages when men apOlogized
for lawlessness, saying they had no
ruler. Progressing through the age
of good government, DR.. Watts said it
seems that the good people of the
world are again losing control of af-
fairs. In order to perfect law and or
der, and the rightful recognition of
authority it is necessary to begin the
training of children to make good citi-
zens. They must be disciplined, the
speaker continued. Back when was
a boy, the hickory switch was the best
disciplinarian known. The speaker in
timated that it was not hardly proba-
BILE the hickory tree had outlived its
usefulness, if it was applied at the
correct moment
The speaker also said in substance
that the schools of our country are
not teaching the respect for authority
that should be taught, nor are the
young Americans taught to love their
country as they should. Patriotism,
and love for the land of their birth
should be instilled into them. He said
they should be taught to love God,
and the love of country would follow
in natural sequence.
DR.. Watts sermon was most eff
fective one, and 1t was quite apparent
that his auditors were deeply i'm
pressed, and determined to be better
law abiding citizens than ever be-
fore.

Thirty-five new members were add

Legion at the meeting of ex-service

When the meeting of the ex-service
men was called to order by Major
Frierson more than $50 were present
there being soldiers, sailors and ma

High School administered a most un-
merciful drubbing to the institute
lassies in the High School gymnasium

High School 80, Institute 2. An add

assistance to the score keeper in
keeping up with the march of pro-
gress made by the High School.
Scores were made with alarming reg
ularity. ty
The Institute opened the scoring in
the first minute of play with field
goal. They never scored again, but
1t seemed to put the High School in a
fighting frame of mind. and within a
half minute the score was tied. After
that moment there was never any
doubt as to who would win the game.
The first quarter ended with the

High School had added five more tai

third quarter seven more tallies were
added and in the last quarter ten ad.

COAL SUPPLY
OF CITY RUNS
NEAR BOTTOM
DEALERS ARE LIMITING THE
AMOUNTS SOLD TO THEIR
CUSTOMERS.
MANY CARS ARE SEIZED HERE
Held on Railroad Tracks by the Fuel
Administration for the Use Of the
Essential Industries Of the Commu-
) nity-Fine Weather Help.

= Coal supplies in Columbia are run
ming low. The dealers here have very
little on hand and they are limiting
the purchasers of customers to very
small quantity. There are would be
coal hoarders just as there are food
hoarders during the war and already
they have been discovered and their
supplies cut off by the dealers.
There are large number of cars
of coal standing on the railroad tracks
here, seized by the railroad admins
tration which is carrying out the or.
ders Of the national fuel administra-
ton. They are held for use in emer-
gency, to keep essential industries
running, to supply those who must
have coal and for the use of the rail-
road. There would probably be no ac-
tual suffering In Columbia for another
month. although many people would
be very greatly Inconvenience II the
strike continues.
There are several of the essential
industries of the city that are run
ming low on coal but the supply here
under the orders of the fuel admins
tration would be sufficient to keep
them going for the time at least As
long as there is considerable coal be-
ing moved from non-union mines any
fear that the water and light plant
will have to suspend for lack of coal
is not justified. Superintendent Rob-
inson has been assured by the fuel
administration that his plant is right
near the top of the preferred necessa-
ny Industries and that il there is any
coal at all, il is sure to get a supply
Of 1t. Practically all of the coal using
concerns hereabouts are essential in
dustries, the laundry, the mills and
the water and light plant. The UNI
preoedentedly fine weather this fall
has decidedly reduced the ordinary
consumption of coal.

When we have reached the summit OF
our lives
Time speeds the downward years with
cruel pace,
We feel far less inclined with fate to
Than when in youth we started on the
race.
Much sweeter now to sit in twilight calm
While memory brings the light Of
other years,
And phantoms of our loved and lost
bring balm
To soethe our pain and wipe away our
tears.
When life was young we took no heed Of
time.
In truth, it Jagged while we would
hurry on;
But later on when youth was gone tn
chime
OF passing years held sadness in its
song,
With dimming eyes, with graying hsir
and slowing step,
How can we doubt that we are growing
cldp
Yet with this knowledge comes the rec
cmpcnse 20 sweet,
The sconer we'll be gathered In His
field.
With tearv we think ef her who passed
away
And left her little ones TO weep and
