Judges for the Big
Parade Appointed

Hon. Drew w. Paulk, Mrs. G. E.
Robertson and Mrs. S. L. Smith, have
been appointed judges for the big
parade to be held here on July 5th.
This is fine committee and its per-
sonnet will assure all entrants fair
chance at the prizes. None of the
judges are in any way connected with
any enterprise that will enter car
or float in the parade and they have
no other interest than to judge fairly
and see that those entitled to a prize
get it.
Mr.. w. P. Bragg, official decorator
for the big Independence Day Cele-
bration here on July 5th, will arrive
Friday with full line of decorations
suitable for decorating floats, cars,
store fronts, and in fact any kind of
decorating that one wants. Anyone de-
string to rent decorations or who wish
his services in fixing floats or auto
mobiles should see him on the streets
or telephone the Secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce who will put
him in touch with you.

MADE HIT WITH RECITATION
Princes Speech Consisted of Verses From the Koran, but Audience
 Didn't Know 1t.

It Is interesting to recall that dur ing the recent European tour of Prince Feisal of the new kingdom of Syria. his memory of the KOranic verses stood him Tn good stead. In London, at dinner in the Guildhall the prince, who was the guest of honor, and who knew little French and less English, was called upon to reply to the toast of his health. Reside him sat his friend and mentor. Colonel Lawrence Oxford professor and oriental scholar to whom he whispered as he rose to acknowledge the lord mayors speech. Colonel Lawrence nodded his assent, and the prince addressed his audi ence in flowing Arabic periods, win ming appreciation and applause.
 When the guest of honor had re- s':,~ ed his seat. Colonel Lawrence, as his interpreter, rose to express in Eng fish the princes sentiments of grati- tude for his reception. and to voice his devotion to the principles of democ- racy and allied Solidarity. It was not until many days had gone by that Colonel Lawrence allowed 1t to be known among his friends that what the prince had whispered to him was:
 "Tll recite the verses from the Koran about the cow"
 Thus did :the diplomatic professor deceive the nnwitting ears of his Guild hall friends.-Munsey's Magazine.

LOOKING TO SOUTH PACIFIC
White Men Planning Complete Posses sion of Fertile Islands of That
 Parkway Ocean.

With Europe a Srething mass of un- rest and discOntent and uncertainty. your Brtsher isa looking to the islands of the South Pacific already owned by the empire, us the next place to go and to exploit. to use the expression of a lot of people who do not know the meaning of the word. Already corpo- rations are being formed to cOlonfze the islands. and beautiful word pie lures of disadvantages of a residence upon them are being painted.
 The truth is, for some years the white man has been gradually getting T fOOthOld in the region. The delight full pictures which one sees of the na- tives, gives a little idea of what is really to be seen in the country. They are not the wild, naked people roam ing at large, eating each other and the missionaries. Rubber plantations, ceconut groves, phosphate mines and other industries are operated by Eu- rOpeans And schools and churches are encountered on every hand, with the honk of the horn of the automo- bile heard in the shade of the palms.
 The white man will not reach the end of his road until there is no more country to be settled up, and there are still vast areas to be brought un- der his domain. In Africa. and upon the islands of the sea, he is setting his foot and clearing up the jungles and conquering the pests and becoming ac- cli1nated. But the end is not yet; there is still much to be done, and the chances are that the next few years will see an exodus to these far away places where beginning has already been made-COlumbus Dis patch.

Country's Motive Eneroy.

The gauge of a nations industrial might Is the amount of motive energy which it can command for the mani fold fields of production and the es- sential cOntributory activities. We have maintained our supremacy in manufactured output very largely be- cause of the vast amount of power which we could call into service, RNh- ert G. Skcrrctt wrote in the Scientific American. Modern nations expend far more energy than the combined muscular ability of their population and beasts of burden. The margin Is covered by the employment of me- chanical energy in the form of power. To accomplish the work done annually in the United States, would require the labor of 5000, ,OOO,O GOO hard-working slaves. The use of power gives to each man, woman and child in this country the service equivalent of thir A servants
