His Fervor pampened.

Down in southern Oklahoma, after
the cotton crops are laid by, it is the
custom of the colored population to
hold big camp meetings. AT one of
these the minister was talking of the
great joys of heaven. One Of the
brethren became very much excited
and began shouting: "Praise de
Lawd! Praise de Lawd! How l does
wish Use a June bug! I'd spread my
wings and fly away to heaven" At
this one of the sisters sprang up and
said. "Why, Bruddah Nose, one OF
dem woodpeckers would be sho to git
yo' on the way."-New York Evening

SMALLPOX

Written by a patient in the Con-

General Hospital.
Little chills and fever,
Little aches in back,
Little wish for living,
Head about to crack,
Little skin eruptions
Showing up in flocks,
Little pus formations
That's what makes smallpox.

SENATE TO SOON
RATFY TREATIES

Washington, Sept. 29.-Ratificatior
by the senate in fortnight of the ad
ministration's peace treaties with
Germany, Austria and Hungary loom.
ed as prospect tonight after Re
publican and Democratic leaders dur.
ing the day had discussed proposed
unanimous consent agreement drafted
by Senator Lodge, the Republican
leader, to take the final vote October
ID or 15. Both expressed hopes of
obtaining formal order of the senate
tomorrow providing for such a pro-
gram and all factions expressed the
opinion that the agreement would be
reached.
Announcement of the negotiations
was made in the senate late today BY
Senator Lodge, and with the discus.
sion showing evidences of success the
Republicans dropped their plan for .
session tonight. Senator Lodge init
mated, however, that should the agree
ment be blocked, he would return tt
the night session drive for ratification
Mr.. Lodge said he had "every reason:
able hope" of reaching an agreement
and Senator Underwood, the Demo
cratic leader, also said an agreement
had been practically reached" and
was ready for consummation tomor-
row.
Involved in the program is pro-
posal that should any senator desire
to debate the treaties the tax revision
bill would be laid aside temporarily.
1t is expected, however, that the tax
measure actually will be before The
senate most of next week, with the
following week, preceding the date for
voting, largely devoted to the treaties.
The movement for voting agree
ment developed today in conference
of Democratic senators who declared
unanimously against the Republican
plan for night sessions and authorized
overtures by Senator Underwood to
the Republican for a voting agree
ment. The Democrats reaffirmed their
stand against making ratification a
party question and left each senator
free to vote as he shall determine.
In the effort to agree upon a date
for voting on ratification Chairman
Penrose of the finance committee in
charge of the tax bill agreed to give
way to the treaties, stating he be.
lieved it would operate actually to ex-
pedite his measure.

can in an automobile parked by the
ssidesr fs,thesrxoad behind Orr cottor
mill Tuesday afternoon led the officers
to believe that whiskey hadhomethine
to do with the car being there. Sc
they continued their search into the
woods and in short time had uncov-
cred 80 gallons of whiskey in two
kegs. This was brought to the jail
but the car was not confscated as nc
liquor was found in it., and it was sill:

KIRBY TO ALSO
MAKE AN APPEAL.

Lexington, Sept. 29.--Notice has
been served upon Solicitor T. 6. Cal.
lison by A. D. Martin, appointed by
the court t. defend S. j.. Kirby, one
Of the three Calumbians convicted al
the recent term of the court of gen.
eral sessions of the murder of Will
liam Brazell, Columbia taxi driver
that .Kirby's case will be appealed
to the state supreme court. This ap
peal acts as an automatic stay Of ex'
ecution and Kirby, who has been held
in the death cell at the state peniten
tiary since his conviction, will not die
October 81, as provided in the sen
tence imposed by Judge Sease, in
sread getting a new lease on life until
the case can be heard by the supreme
court. "@
The Jesse Geppins case has ALREADY
been appealed to the supreme cour,
and C. o. Fox remains as the only
member of the trio scheduled to die
October 81!
Notice of the appeal of the Kirby
case was served upon Solicitor CALI
son both by mail and in person, the
notice being stuck under the door Of
the solicitors office during his absence
from Lexington. The notices were dat
ed September 26 and therefore, So
licitor Callison says, will fall within
the time limit allowed by law in which
the appeal can be made. Mr.. Martin
has yet to prepare his appeal, but,
he announced last night, an effort will
be made to prove that Kirby is men
tally deranged and therefore not re-
sponsible for his crime. Mrs. s. j. Kir-
by, the prisoners wife, made a per
sonal appeal to Gov. Robert A. Coop
er the day following the trial, claim. .
ing that her husband was mentally de-
ranged, due to a blow on the head and
prolonged illness. Kirby, his wife told
the governor, now wears silver plate
in his skull. This personal plea, how
ever, was disregarded by the chief
executive.
Kirby, the first of the trio to face
trial, admitted on the stand that he
had assisted Jesse Gappins in hold
ing young Brazell while c. o. Fox
calmly proceeded to stab the taxi
driver to death. Kirby also admitted
that he had bought the blackjack
which was broken over the driver's
head by Fox. Kirby, according to the
testimony of Gappins and Fox, was
the ring leader in the automobile
stealing plot, which resulted in the
killiIg Of Brazell. 8
The supreme. court opens it's fall
session in October and it is not prob
able that either the Kirby or Gappins
appeals will be heard at that time, al
though it is possible that the ceases
may be heard by mutual consent
Even should the case be heard at the
fall session of the supreme court a de-
cision would hardly be handed down
before Christmas as the court will be
in session until after Thanksgiving.

Difficult to rs eSo Old

4iisn. Il = ! 81 q lEks
Railroad Trainman of Cleveland told
the delegates at the National Safety
Council here today.
"It is difficult to teach an old dog
new tricks" he said, "you know as
well as 1 know that switchman,
brakeman or conductor who takes his
time is not regarded as an efficient
employee, You know also that it
means time to hold up switching in
these days when SO many cars are
handled at one time. You also know
that railroad impatience will not
stand for much of what seems even
in this day of safety first and service
afterward' to be unnecessary delay.
You know also that every train and
yard man starts to work with the
idea of getting done as soon as he
possibly can firmly fixed in lis mind.
He also knows that every man on the
job, from the president down to the
engine foreman, expects him to keep
that in mind until he is through. II
is difficult at times to reconcile tho
thought of safety first and hit the
ball at the same time.
"It will take another generation tc
change this condition of mind. Dan
ger, disability and death always were
supposed to go hand in hand with
job in train or yard service.
"It must be our united work tt
overcome the traditions of all oul
railroad years, to have our railway
men realize that the railroads are il
earnest in trying to save their men
and to get down under the hides oi
the men and their immediate SUI
periors with the fact that safety
means what it says and that unneces
sary injuries and death will mean dis
cipline for the personal cause Of eth
err, if he can be reached"
