Merchants Asked To
Observe New Ordinance

Attention is called to the publ
cation in another column Of this
edition of the text Of new city
ordinance establishing a new sys-
tenn of purchasing city supplies. I'M
der the plan, which was reported a
couple of weeks ago, although the
ordinance had not been passed, all
purchases must be made on formal
order supplied by the city clerk and
treasurer after a requisition has been
issued by the chairman of the eoun-
ell committee having the department
concerned in charge, and also after
the purchasing committee has au-
thorized the purchase.
at will be of great Importance to
merchants, as well as the city of
ficials," said Clerk and Treasurer
Eldridgo today, 'if all dealers viii
refuse to sell supplies to any city
employee except on order properly
filed out. Of course after this Gus
tom is established it will be easy
for all to remember to follow it. I'M
til then, however, we would ask all
merchants to keep in mind the new
provisions, so as to avoid cmbarrass-
ment either to the merchant or TO the
city later on, in case purchases
which are not properly authirzed
are made.

HORNE OPPOSES
CONDEMNATION
Arbitrators Named To
Assess Damages BY
Paving Plans

G. II. Horne, living just west of
The Amor;cus city limits, has enter
ed active opposition to the re-grad-
ing proposed to be done in connec-
(ion with the rebuilding of the
Plains highway which is to be made
one Of Sumter county's permanent
paved roads.
Plans drawn by W. C. Cage, dis
trict highway engineer, who is d.
recting the engineering work. pro-
vide for a change in the location OF
roadway at Horne's home, at the
top of Muckalee Hill, and condom-
nation proceedings have been istitut-
ed against Horne's property. The
present roadway runs about so feet
from the Horne residence, whereas
the proposed change in grade would
carry the highway much closer to the
location Of his house, leaving him
with only a narrow strip Of land on
one side of the highway, and his
home fronting almost directly there
on.
Arbitrators to assess damages have
been named, and they are now con-
s;dering the case. These are w. w.
Dykes, representing the county;
w. Z. McMath, representing Horne,
land DR.. E. Thurman, umpire.
Pending the decision of this board
and final action in the condemnation
proceedings, work on the highway
on that point is entirely held up, and
it may be several weeks before &C.
tiyities are begun there.
Mr.. Horne Wednesday advertised
his property for quick sale at a sac
rifice, setting out that it must be
sold in 48 hours or it would be with
drawn.

AS the title indicates, the story

But as every rose has its thorn, 50

TO ATTEMPT ITO
, SCALE EVEREST
British Explorer Cuts
Out Great Task For
Himself

NEW YORK, Jan. 27--Mt. Ever
est, the Himalayan peak called "the
roof of the world" which Sir Francis
Younghusband, the British soldier
explorer will attempt to climb next
summer. has never yet been scaled
By man.
Towering above the frontiers Of
the hitherto forbidden land of Tibet
and the remote province of Nepal,
India, another land of mystery, the
difficulties in even approaching Mt.
Everest have been sufficient to baf-
file explorers.
The worlds highest peak lies in
Tibet north of the British Indian bor-
der, yet, so far as known, no Euro
pean has ever approached nearer
than so miles from its base and few
travellers have ever seen its upper
slopes.
The attempts which have been
made to ascend some &c Mt. Evcrests
sister peaks of the Himalays have
usually been made through Nepal
because access to them through Tibet
was not open. The approach to Mt.
Everest through Tibet is said to be
more accessible and pre- sent greater
prospects of success than from the
Nepal side.
Sir Francis Younghusband an
nounced that the Tibetan govern
ment has granted him permission to
attempt the ascent of the mountain
by the Tibetan route. It was Sir
Francis, who as colonel commanding

British mission to the Forbidden
City of Lhasa in 1903-O2, opened
Tibet to civilization.
Mt. Everest named for Sir George
Everest, famous British Surveyor
General of India, is the highest
known mountain in the world. Its
trigonometrical altitude is 29,002;
it's probable height is 29,141 feet.
The next known highest of the Him
alayan peaks are Kinchinjunga, 49,
| 225 feet and K-2, or Bride peak,
whose altitude is 428,191 feet.
The intrepid Duke Of the Abruzzi
who reached the top Of Mt. st. Elias
in Alaska (18,024) and who at one
time held the record Of 'farthest
north" in Arctic exploration, tried
to climb K-2 or Bride peak, in 1909
but failed because from whatever
point of the compass he advanced
he could find no way up to attain
| the summit. At 24,600 feet he and
| his companions were in good physl-
cal condition although progress was
slow and laborious; thick mist
warned them that to go on would
have been Madness" This achieve
ment of the Italian explorer, however

climbing. Bride peak is in the
Karakoram Himalayas. Besides It'll

are in the Himalayas no less than
rs peaks above $4,000 feet, 43I
above $4,000 feet, is above &c.
loco feet and FIVE above $4,000 feet.
Mountain climbing is one of the
most ancient as well as fascinating
forms of adventure. Its chief dan
gers are avalanches, landslides, fall
ing rocks, billiards, falling ice, land
slides, falls from precipices or into
crevasses, falls from ice slopes or
down snow slopes. u
Sir Francis announcement Of his
intention to attempt this mountain
climbing feat recalls the exploits OF
two American women-Mrs. Fannie
3. Workman and Miss Annie S. Peck
and their conquest Of some Of the
highest peaks in Asia and South
America.
Mrs. Workman in-1809, 1908,
|1906 and 1908 made ascents in the
Hialayas, including one of the Nun
Kun peaks whose summit is 23,3G0
feet high, or more than a half. mile
above the apex of that forbidding
sentinel of the Alaskan silences i
Mt. Mckinley. Miss Peck in 1908
negotiated the top of Mt. Huascaran
in the Peruvian Andes, height OF
81 ,812 feet and three years later she
climbed the two peaks of the volca-
no Coropuna.
Some of the notable mountain
climbing peaks of history and the
year in which the peaks of the vari-
Gus mountains were attained follow:
1744-the Titlis, the first true
snow-mountain; 1885, Mt. Blanc'5
summit reached for first time; 1911
the Jungfrau; 1925 the Finsteraar-
horn; 1913, the Zermatt Briethron;
1920, Pixies peak; 1854, the. Wett6r
