NOT MAKING MANY ARRESTS

The marshal is not making many ar
rests for violation of the sanitary or
dinance, thanks to the law-abiding
people of Tarpon Springs; but there
are yet quite a few who have not re-
sponded to our appeal to clean up
their back yards. Your own health,
as well as that of your family and
your neighbors, may depend upon
prompt and thorough work. Hot
weather is now approaching. Infec-
tious diseases will spread more rapidly
than in winter. Lime spread over back
yards after thorough cleaning up will
destroy germs, aid at this point |
say that any one not able to purchase
lime for this purpose will be furnished
same without cost to themselves by
applying to the Gourley-Logan Hard
ware Co. This is our third and last
appeal. Something will be doing.
Respectfully,
]. E. DOUGLASS, Mayor.

RICH DEPOSITS OF COAL
DISCOVERED IN SWEDEN

London, April 10.-Deposits of coal
in Sweden, discovery of which was re.
ported recently from Stockholm, may
help to solve one of Sweden's most
difficult industrial problems.
Sweden has an almost inexhaustible
supply of very fine iron ore and Swed-
ish scientists for years have unsuc-
cessfu!ly attempted to devise means
Of working it by electricity. With a
coal supply at home it is pointed out
that Sweden has an opportunity to be-
come one of the great industrial cen
ters Of the world.
The rising cost of labor in Great
Britain already has placed England at
a disadvantage with the United States
in the Italian coal trade and if Swe-
den could produce coal in quantities
warranting export she doubtless would
become competitor of both the Unit
ed States and England.
The coal contained in the newly dis
covered Swedish deposits is said to
have caloric value so per cent great
er than that of British coal and it is
stated that it can be produced for
about $575 ton.

EMILY STEVENS IN
THREE POWERFUL ROLES

In Destiny, or the Soul of Wo-
man," the powerful Metro production
which will be seen at the Edgefeld
opera house Friday and Saturday
night, August 20 and 80. Emily
Stevens, the talented star, plays three
distinct periods and phases of wo-
mans life. First she is seen as the
young wife who is happy and con-
tented in her home and her hus-
bands love. Next, when The wrong
fully accuses her of deception and
casts her out without an explanation,
she enters a resort known as the
"House of Lost Souls" where she be-
comes the reigning beauty. Many
years elapse and she appears as the
penitent and broken old woman who
seeks the forgiveness of the church
before she dies.
In these roles Miss Stevens shows
an artistry in the delineation of each
distinct characted which is marvel
Gus. She enters into the spirit OF
the different difficult part as only g
past-mistrees in the art of acting
would be capable.

Brother Brown is. young man

was unconscious, and for two weeks
he could not be told of her death.
He did earnest work; each service
was we'll attended, despite the rain,
and unbounded attention was held,
proving the interest of his hearers
in his efforts to give US plain gos-
pei truth day after day.
His closing remarks were full Of
encouragement to the church, ex-
pressing much gratitude and appre-
citation for the pleasure of being
among US, coming as he did, an entire
stranger.

MUCH DAMAGE DONE TO BRIDGES
GM COUNTY.
Mass Meeting Called for Monday.

The bridge across Mill creek on
the Martin Town road has been re,
ported total loss.
Horns creek bridge has been bad
ly damaged.
Two bridges across Beaver Dam
are a total loss.
Three bridges have been washed
away on Log Creek.
One each on Sleepy creek and
Stevens creek reported gone and two
damaged on Turkey creek.
This is a list of wreckage wrought
by the recent floods, and is suff-
cient to make all tax payers scratch
their heads in deep concern. Most
of these bridges are needed at once
and all of them will soon be needed
for marketing crops as they are har-
vested. Certainly this list of dam
age, and total loss in some instances,
is sufficient to cause the supervisor
to call the people together to coun-
sci with him in looking after their
interests.
There is no questioning the fact
that as soon as market conditions
warrant, the county should begin re-
placing all wooden bridges with steel
structures. The initial outlay is
greater but is cheaper in the long
run.
Attend the mass meeting in the
court house which Supervisor Broad
water has called for Monday morn
ling at II o'clock.

A New Bank For Edge6eld.

Edgefeld has been "stuck in the
mud" of stagnation for long time,
but is being pulled out of the old rut
a little distance almost every day.
There are signs of new life and of
growth on every hand. One of the
latest evidences of renewed activity
| is that of providing this section of
the county with larger banking fa-
cilities. Tuesday morning some
thing like score Of citizens met to
discuss the matter of organizing an
other bank and after a full discussion
from every angle it was unanimous
ly agreed that there is an opening
for such an institution and that it
would be profitable investment.
Steps are now being taken to secure
a charter and formally organize at
once. The capital stock is to be $780,
600, divided into shares of $50 each
and no person will be allowed to sub
scribe for more than 20 shares of
$4,000, which will distribute the
stock among large number of in
vestors, giving the institution a
strong support. Already about half
of the stock has been subscribed and
the other $4,000 can be easily Sc
cured.
While nothing definite has been
done looking to the selection of quar-
ters for the new bank, it is probable
THAT a banking room will be fitted
