He choked himself into gulping
inarticulate silence as he climbed
from the cab to look in the face the
sum total of all human stupidity. No
sooner had he allghted than Miss Van
Teller found herself In voice again.
"Oh! obi" she moaned, pressing her
hands to her eyes, achingly open,
take me away from here"
Sure, MISS" said Mr. Randolph
promptly, threw in his clutch and was
off.

was very plainly, the last very family
heard by Mr.. Randolph. After them
came down the wind something that
sounded very much like the ghost Of
wall of despair, but the driver paid
no heed. His attention was absorbed
by something quite different; the dry
sobs of little heap of smoke -colored
chiffon.
Detours, subterfuges and the finesse
of the roadfaker were swept from
Randolph's mind; he made straight
for the bridge and home, but long be-
fore they reached the river all sound
had ceased to issue from the cab and
in Its stead reigned purposeful. al

she thinking in there? What could
she think? Why didn't she go right
on crying and keep her mind fully
occupied with that?
AS they swept down the incline
from the bridge into City Hall park
he suddenly realized that he had been
on the verge of giving himself away.
He half turned his head and shouted
through the speaking-slot, "What ad-

Her voice came back to him from
very close as though her face had
been pressed TO the glass In an effort
TO make him out. AT the corner of

Ten minutes later he drew up his
cab at the appointed spot and reached
back to throw open the door but kept
his foot on the clutch release, leaving

All his precautions were in vain.

this landlord has given his tenants
permission to cut wood off Of his
land, using his own teams, gasoline
saving outfit and all, and to sell the
wood, keeping half Of the proceeds.
The farmers will thus be enabled
to make enough during the next few
months to keep the wolf from the
door, said the writer, who asked Mr..
Penn not to use his name in connec-
tion with the plan. Considering the
high prices Of coal, it would behoove
the people Of Greenville to buy wood
for fuel where 1t is possible to use It,
and by so doing, both the farmers
and the people who buy the wood will
be helped, the letter goes on to say.
It Is expected that within a short
time the wood will be brought into
Greenville and offered for sale at very
reasonable prices. Other farmers will
no doubt adopt the plan in the near
future.

Is to allow the baby bird to become

After the birds are strong enough
to fly a great distance they are taken
some 25 miles away and allowed to
return to their lofts, at the same
time being timed by a special clock
for the purpose. In this manner the
best birds are secured. Before flight
they are given little to eat, and thus
their return to the base Is always GER
tain.
In the recent pigeon race held in
Washington the birds were released
at Cameron, w. Va, and flew to the
city OF Washington, a distance Of
about 200 miles. The winning pigeon
travelled at the rate Of 1,543 yards
per minute, or almost 53 miles per
hour. Birds from the army, navy and
from the Department Of Agriculture
were entered.

We are informed just before going

here last Sunday stating that Robert
zimmerman had passed away at Mil
ledgeville, Ga. His body is expected
to arrive here some time to-day or
tomorrow for interment In .Eastvicw

his mother, who died some 26 years
ago.
Robert was the eldest son Of w. r.
Zimmerman, Of Chappell, who was at
one time station agent for the Rich
mond and Danville Railroad at this
point. We presume that he was near
34 years Of age, as he was born in
the eighties. His mother was Miss
Mamie Foster, of Cowpens, S. C.,who
was sister Of Mrs. r. Frank White
and Mrs. J. d. NJ. billiard, both OF
whom, with Mrs. Zimmerman. a re

We understand that Robert had
been in, poor health since leaving the
army. There arc many who sympa-
