LUCERNE
Tradition Marks 1t As Place of "yvtI.
liam Tell" Episode

Lucerne. scene of important conferences
| among Allied statesmen. is described in
| a bulletin from the Washington, D. c..
headquarters of the National Geographic,
Society as follows:
"Lucerne is a precious jewel amons
| Swiss cities. with the lake of the SAINT
name for It's setting-a lake where varied
beauty and historic associations are
blended.
"On that lakes shores William Tell is
reputed to have exhibited his marksman-
ship to the discontinue of Gessler. and
on its waters tradition holds he won his
revenge by Selling the rudder of tina
vessel on which that tyrant held him
prisoner and guided 1t to the rock where
he aimed. not at an apple, but at his
oppressor's heart.
Less picturesque, but more signifi-
cant. was tho formulation OF the Per
petual League. Thet famous instrument
not only was the antecedent OF the Swiss
Confedsra uon. but marked a mile post in
humenity's political freedom.
Beloved by tourists and crowded with
them in normal years. Lucerne has re-
tanned many of It's ancient aspects. Its
crumbling wall with its watch towers
give It medieval stamp; two of its
covered wooden bridges also serve as
art galleries. On the walls of ono are
depleted scenes of the citys history ami
the other has paintings of the Dance oS
Death.
Perhaps the most famed art object OF
the city Is the Lion OF Lucerne. cor
sidercd by one critic the most appro
pirate and touching monument in exist
ence.' In grotto, hewn from the nat
ural rock. is dying lion, pierced by
LANCE. with his paw protecting the flour
de-lys OF the Bourbons. Thorwaldsen.
Danish sculptor, designed this tribute to
the Swiss Guard who died in seeking 10
protect Louis XVI. against the mob OF
Paris revolutionlsts that stormed the
Tuileries in 1892
"Lucerne is situated on the Reuss
where It PUSHES from the cross-like Lu-
cerne. The city grew as the St Gotthard
Pass improved, first from mule path TO
carriage road, and from roadway to a
railway tunnel. BY the St. Gotthard
line Lucerne is 50 miles from Basel and
$50 miles from Milan Its citizen popu-
lation is less than 5000, supplemented
by nearly rs many more tourists yearly
before the war, Its chief industry lies
In It's more than three score tourist
hotels. and the establishments which
supply tourist needs.
THE mountain views from Lucerna
are thought by many travellers to be un-
surpassed In any Swiss city. Cut In half
by the river, 1t lies in a natural ampi-
theater. overlooking the blue expanse Of
the lake, which Is dotted by craft OF
many kinds. The Pilatus range rises to
the southwest. and the Riga mountains
span the eastern horizon. World famous

STREET. WORK PLANS
PUSHED BY COMMISSION

F. b. Murray, assistant State high
way engineer, came to Fort Mill from
Columbia Tuesday afternoon and for
some time was in conference with the
street commission Of Fort Mil relative
to the improvements which the COM
mission. In conjunction with the town
council, hopes soon to have made on
the streets Of the town with the pro-
ceeds OF the proposed bond issue Of
$S0. 600. supplemented by federal funds.
After inspecting the principal streets
Of the town, Mr.. Murray gave it as his
opinion that the $40, 900 which the COM
mission hopes to have in hand soon
would assure smaller number Of
square yards Of permanent paving than
the commission had in mind to have
put down, but added that it was not
improbable that additional federal aid
could be secured for the project after
the new federal appropriation for road
projects becomes available subsequent
to July 1, next. = - =. g. =
Meanwhile the street commission is
receiving many inquiries from con-
tracing firms anxious to bid on the
street work. 1t is said to be not i'm.
probable, however, that the commission
will buy the paving material and with
the assistance Of expert engineers have
the work done under the supervision OF
Mr.. L. A. Harris, chairman of the
commission, whose good work in con.
nection with the paving of the inn
proved sidewalks of the town some
years ago while he was mayor is &evi.
dence of his ability to superintend &C.
ceptably the larger undertaking now
proposed.
