My Dog Wrinkles.

Dear Uncle Jed: I want to tell you about my dog Wrinkles. He came from New York, and was beautifully trained. He could do tricks such as sneezing and Jumping through a hoop. He would sit up and bark, then he would roll over and lay like a. dead dog. But he always had to have cake or doughnuts as a reward. While he lived in New York his master always took him with him in his car when he made his calls, as he was a doc tor But We have no car and one day a friend took us for a ride in his car and Wrinkles went with us. When we return ed and left the car he refused to get out but settled himself back against the seat as much as to say Get out if you want to; I am going to ride" He was such a good dog we miss him awfully, as he is dead.

UNCLE JED'S TALK TO WIDE
 AWAEES

From now on for the next several months many of the Wide-Awakes will be visiting the parks Some will go more often than others but whether It is once in the season, once a week or every day it should be borne in mind that each and every one can do much to beautify the parks by helping to keep them beautiful
 All the park workers can never keep a park attractive if people insist on throwing papers. boxes and other rub bish wherever they get through with them, trample on the young green grass or flower beds or break off branches from the trees and bushes. They can of course plant more grass seed to take the place of the tramDled lawns, but 1t takes money for seed, time and expense to keep sowing the seed and time for the grass to show, while it will continue to grow thick and beautiful with little at- tention if people do not persist in walk ing on it
 Many sorry sight has been caused by the careless throwing of papers and refuse into bushes or onto grass plots and leaving it there for someone to clean up when all such needless work could have been avoided by carrying 1t to some receptacle. Many hands make light work 1 of such things. We like the parks and we should do our best to keep them clean and attractive. At least we should do our level best to see that we are not the cause of their looking otherwise You can insist upon your playmates observ.
 !nging the rules of the park: you car
 refuse to play games that would do harm
 to any growing thing: you can show your contempt for those who destroy
 ahytning beautiful; you can frequently
 prevent others from iniuring plants ant rrees- II parks are worth having they 1 are worth nrot ectinp

My Trip to Providence.

Dear Uncle Jed: I am going to tell you about my trip to Providence. The trip was to be taken by my Sunday school class, which included seven girls and our teacher We started at 9 O. clock in an auto. On our way we sang songs and stopped sometimes to see if we could find some wild flowers.
 We reached Providence at noon and We went to Shepherds restaurant to have our dinner. Then we went to large railroad station and looked around
 We went to the capitol but we could not get in. We left there and went to ah
 arcade where some of us bought some
 souvenirs in remembrance of our trip. At Roger Williams park we saw many different kinds of birds such as pea cocks. ducks. guinea hens. pigeons, and
 other domestic birds. Also on our visit to the museum we saw birds, animals ! and many curious things which the h. dians had.
 In front of the building we had our pictures taken and then we started for home. I had very pleasant trip and | hope that all the Wide-Awakes will have such a chance to go to Providence. 1 JOSEPHINE HILL. Norwich Town.

WIDEAWAKE POETRY. My Wonderful Country.

live in a wonderful country That the children have bu1ded and made, And I watched in the day
 When, in laughter and play, Its lasting foundations were laid. I live in wonderful country !, Where the summons that calls with the
 dawn Is to come to the light Of the visions made bright From the dreams of the years that are
 gone. live in a wonderful country Where wide the horizons are spread, And on paths daily trod,
 Each companioned with God By the hand of a child I am led. I live in a wonderful country Where the noontide in splendor is
 famed;
 And from here and from there.
 On the ways ever fair, Come the children whose names l have
 named.
 live in a wonderful country Where the song of the evening time floats Over river and field Unto glad hearts that yield To the charm of it's magical notes I live in a wonderful country Where a mystical circle is spread In the frelights that blaze At the close of the days | While the stars keep their watch over head. 1 l live in a wonderful country, | Unpictured, unstoried. unknown, l But as boundless as space
 And filled with the grace 1 Of the lives that know are my own. i It is here, it is there, it is now; 1t will i live l In the years that are vet to unfold; l And though to it's treasure I ceaseiessly give 1 am rich with treasure untold. And I travel a path that no gloom ever And never my heart is afraid. For live in a wonderful country That the children have builded and
 made.

DEATHFOR NEGROES
I'm DOUBLE LYNCHING
TWO KILLED AFTER ATTACK ON
WHITE WOMAN IN AIKEN
Death Of Victim Expected From
Wounds Made With IKE and Hoe.
Negroes Ridd,ed With Bullets

The State.
Aiken, Sept S.-Two negroes were
lynched near Montmorenci, five miles
from Aiken, early tonight following a
murderous attack on the wife of a
prominent farmer, late in the after
noon. The negroes robbed the house
after beating the woman into insensl-
bility with a hoe and an axe. The In
iured woman was living at II o'clock
tonight, but>physicians say her chanc-
es for recovery are exceedingly slight.
In addition to being chopped in the
head with hoe, an axe was used,
crushing in the skull and bruising the
face and shoulders. She is between
80 and 40 years Of age.
A tremendous crowd gathered and
Charlie Thompson, Georgia negro, be-
tween 25 and 80 years old, and Mans
field Butler, Jr., about Is, who work
ed on the plantation, were taken into
custody. Butler had also been in
Georgia. When the crime was deti-
nitely placed on these negroes, they
were shot to death few hundred
yards from the house they had rob-
bed. Sheriff H. H. Howard and his
DEPUTIES were on the scene and did
what they could to prevent a lynch
ing, but their efforts were futile with
the crowd swept into a passion by the
crime.
The husband of the victim of the
attack was at his gin on his farm at
the time.
Aiken, Sept. 8.-Mansfeld Butler
and Charlie Thompson, negroes, were
lynched by an Aiken county mob to-
night about Z o'clock, following an
attack on the wife of a prominent
Aiken county farmer. The woman
was struck about the head and shoul-
ders with an axe and hoe, and will
probably die. She regained con-
sciousness a few minutes after the
attack and implicated Butler, who,
when caught in his cabin on the farm,
made full confession duplicating
Thompson. Both negroes were taken
to a corn field and shot to death, be-
ing tied with ropes about the wrists.
Sheriff H. H. Howard of Aiken,
on learning of the at
tack, wired Governor Cooper for as
sistance, but upon his arrival at the
scene found that the negroes were
dead and the mob had dispersed. Ak
en- tonight is quiet and no further
disorder is anticipated.
The attack occurred on farm near
Montmorenci. Both negroes were
employed on the farm operated by.
the victims husband and both are
said to be from Georgia.

flving boats and land machines OF
seventeen different types in all, and
never had a wreck. He once flew
from Philadelphia to Wilmington, a
distance of 500 miles, in six hours
