OIL AND GASOLINE
CONSUMPTION BIG

While the reports for the gasoline
distributed throughout the city and
county have not been received as yet,
there is every indication of the past
month having exceeded all others, al
though August bounded away ahead
of July. The increase in the use of
oil and gasoline both has been very
decided during the past four months
Since the tax reports have been is
sued there has been a steady increase
The cause is not known. However, the
demand has been out of the ordinary
during the past fortnight, dealers as
sert, and the indications are that the
consumption for the present month
will surpass that of last month, which
is believed to be the biggest Of the
year. Some state the increase in
the use of coal oil is causde by the
cooler weather, which causes more
people to stay at home, the major
portion of whom use coal oil for

WATCH YOUR STEP
l FALL FIRES ARE due

Watch your step" is the warning
OF Mayor L. p. Evans and other Off
Gals of the city in regard to placing
nres in stoves for the first time dur
ing the fall. The great danger is
that many have the stoves or CRATES
stuffed with paper and trash, one off
cial said, with the result that fire is
caused either from the extreme heat
or flying embers from the first fire
made. Chimneys are also stopped up
IN some instances, it is reported, and
there is also danger of fire from this
source.
"Al chimneys should be investigat-
ed" said another official, "and in
spected regarding the refuse that has
accumulated during the summer. This

BIG SCHOOL FAIR
AT SCAFFOLD CANE
Samples of Students Work Prove
Surprising and Development
Is Being Advocated

The first school fair of the year at
a Madison county school is in prog
ress at the Scaffold Cane school, and
there is on exhibition a large display
of the work of the students of the in
stitution. The exhibition includes re-
suits of the manual training, domes-
tic science and class work generally,
and is said to be the most extensive
and complete seen for years.
Some of the students are said to
have demonstrated great aptitude for
the various classes of work, a their
work indicates. There are in attend
ance Superintendent B. F. Edwards,
of the county schools; Mrs. Edwards
a number of the principals of the
graded schools of the county as well
as number of teachers from the
nearby schools. The privilege was
granted teachers in schools in that
neighborhood to attend and some of
them took advantage of the emporium
ity and dismissed their students. The
affair is said to be of unusual inter
est and is very instructive. 1t is prob
ed at the exhibition which will add to
the Importance of the school carni-
val to be held in Richmond later on
. 1t is probable there will be additional
fairs of this character held in tho
schools of the county and a compar
ison of the work of the students
made.
There have been samples of work
by Madison county students, since the
introduction of manual training &C
domestic science that have attracted
the attention of many, some of then
critics, who have advocated future
exhibitions in order to maintain the
highest standard of work through the
| interest gained by comparing the re-
suit of work. The members of the
county board have been advocating
this method, and it is probable there
will be more fairs held during which
one day will be devoted to the show
ing of the work of the students. This
brings about, it is said, many Of the
instructors, as well as the parents Of
scholar and the general reult is tina,
there is keener competition upon the
part of the teachers to have thei1
students do well, as well as the stu
dents themselves, thus adding to the
Importance of the new phases Of
teaching in the schools of the coun-
ty, for which the state is becoming
noted. s

The result of the warning was
satisfactory There have been

though several residents have
been warned, some Of they stat
