FOR GOOD ROADS
RECENT ELECTION WAS QUIET
AND RESULTED IN LARGE
MAJORITY FOR BONDS.
RESULT CREDITED TO WOMEN
Tho Vote in City and County was MOI

pulled herself out OF the mud'' when
the citizenship OF the county carried
by majority of 2,161 votes, out of q
total of $500 cast, the two million dol
lar bond issue for good roads.
The work of the women, in this the
first community fight in which they
have engaged, is recognized as having
been the deciding factor, even in the
big majority, for the bond issue going
over so handsomely, and the men took
of their hats to the ladies and admit
ted that they put it over"
The figures given above include the
city and county complete, except for
one outlying rural precinct, a small
one.
In the city Of Charlotte the bonds
were carried by a majority of about
three and a half votes to one, the ex-
act figures being 1904 for the issue
and HOB against, a majority of 2,7O1.
In the county, the good roads advo
Gates carried six townships, while the
opponents carried eight.
The vote was comparatively light
in city and county, not amounting to
more than half of the number on the
registration books.

"MIlIlons for Defence"

Charles 0. Pinckney was one of three envoys sent by the United States to France in 1707 to settle disputes which had arisen between France and the United States. The American grievance was caused by the seizure of American vessels by France. The French grievance was that commercial privileges had been granted to England. Talleyrand, the French foreign minis ter. refused to receive the env0ys. but it had been conveyed to them by secret agents that before any. settlement could be reached 1t would be neces- sary for the United States to pay . large sum of money, which was, in fact, little more than a bribe. It was then that Pinckney made his fa. nous declaration that the United had millions for defense, but not ono cent for tribute"

OLD FAITHFUL GEYsER
By T. T.MAXEY
@, Western Newspaper Union.


 OLD FAITHFUL GEYSER THE Lord didn't flake many geys- | CTS or water volcanoes, but he gave distinct Individuality to each of the few which he did make
 He placed the majority of them in Yellowstone park and of these, one has been dignified with the name-Old Faithful, because of its dependability.
 Geysers are do-as-you-please freaks of Nature. Their activities are gen. erally devoid of any regularity. Some "go or with great frequency: Others only at long intervals. But, Old Faithful, true to the name, can be depended upon, day and night, winter or summer, to thrust her tremendous column of water high into the air (some times TO feet), for four min utes at a time, at intervals of from sixty-five to eighty minutes.
 From a bowl-shaped surface open ing an irregular passage, known as a tube. reaches down to the intensely heated regions. Water from the sur face or underground springs trickles down through rocks and holes and collects in the bottom of this tube. The heat makes it boil. Then 1t turns to steam. The steam forces the water toward the top. Later, clouds of steam arise. Finally. the pressure of the steam overcomes the weight of the water above and the geyser erupts with astonishing force. continuing to do so until all the water in the tube has been expelled.
 The discharged water falls to the ground and cools of. Soon the water again collects in the tube, becomes heated to the breaking-out point and the operation Is repeated.
 According to observations made by the U. S. Geological Survey, Old Faith ful shoots" 100000 gallons of water at each eruption, or about 33.225.O0O gallons every twenty-four hours enough to supply . dty of 100000 h. habitants
