Havre, Dec. 5-The steamship

of Justice at Washington, sailed at
1890 o'clock tonight for New York.
Prior to the departure of the yes
Sc! Mr.. Morse reiterated that he had
received no reply from Attorney Cen
eral Daugherty to his request to be
permitted to remain in Europe until
January to undergo medical treat
ment.
At the American consulate today it
was said no reply had been received
tonight for Mr.. Morse.
Come to meet me here sometime
il, January were Mr.. Morse's part
ing words to the correspondent Of the
Associated Press. II surely will be
back If I'm still alive"
Mr.. Morse slipped aboard the
steamer so quietly that many of the
ships officers were unaware of his
presence until he became dissatisfied
with the stateroom, which he was
asked to share with another passen-
ger, and went to the purser and re-
auested that he be given another
room. The purser said his request
would be granted as soon as all the
passengers had embarked, IL there
was a vacant stateroom available.

MARION VOTERS
STAND BY SCHOOLS.
Bond Issues for Building and for
School Purposes Garry Unan-
imously.

Marion, Dec. 6-The election for
bond issue Of $4,000 to build a
new school and an increase OF seven
mills in the levy for school purposes
which was carrie: unanimously in
the Nichols school district broke all
records, declared s. j. Wall, county
superintendent of education yester-
day. The voting was 81 to 0 on both
Issues and Immediately after the
election, a meeting was called to dis
cuss plans for early building and op-
Grafton on the new and enlarged scale.
1t is the hope of the people in the
Nichols district that the school can
be finished in time for next session.
The spirit exhibited at the election
was of a most enthusiastic sort and
the desire for better educational con-
ditions in the district was most pro-
nounced. Never before in the history
OF the county, it Is said, has such an
election been carried without single
dissenting vote.
During the past six years every
district in Marion county, with the
exception OF one. has voted bonds for
modern school building and in
creased the levy for educational pur-
poses. The single exception is account
ed for by the fact that In this dis
trict already these steps had been
taken. The levy previously in effect in
the Nichols school district was eight
mills. This was increased to Is mills.

ENGINEERlNG JOB.


Maj. ON. Page is receiving the
Of his friends over
the completion OF most difficult
piece OF engineering In the mountains
near Stuart, Va. Maj. Page was call
ed to the work after six engineers
had failed to map out road that was
acceptable to the state and federal
governments. The following from The
terest to Herald readers:
It will probably be Of interest to
the Patrick County people to know
something about the High way now
under construction from the Corpor-
atc limits ofStuart eastward.
The Engineer in charge Of Project
No. 55 representing the State OF Va.
Is Major Otis n. Page, Of 8. C.~Aajor
Page is Veteran Of the World War,
having commanded one Of the largest
Engineer battalion ever authorized
by the War Department. Major Page
has q long line of experience. is a
member Of the American Society Of
Civil Engineers. The assistant Engi-
neer is Mr.. II. Hudley Of w. Va, Mr..
Hundley is also a Veteran of the late
war and was a Lieutenant of Engi-
neers.
Major Page states that the work
is being rapidly pushed to compile
tion. That the east end Of the road
will be Top Soil. That he is making a
study relative to the surface of the
Stuart end and will be able to make
a definite announcement in a few
days.
All work done is inspected by the
State Engineers and has to come up
the letter of State and Federal and
Government specifications. All con-
tractors are under the supervision Of
the Engineers. This contract is held
by Burgess and Atkerson of Scots

location finally decided upon is said
to be ideal from an Engineering

CAR OF FINE HOGS
SHIPPED TUESDAY

The first cooperative shipment Of
hogs was made from the pens Of the
Colleton Products Association Tues
day afternoon. These hogs came
from several points in the county and
were sold to a Charleston concern,
which made better offer than could
be had in Richmond, taking into ac-
count the difference in the freight
rates and the probable shrinkage
from shipping.
This car was assembled through
the combined efforts OF President
Shaffer. of the G. p. A, and County
Agent Kinsey. 1t was composed of
hogs from seven farmers, and the ,av-
erage weight was I'll pounds. The
shipment was as fine and smooth a
bunch Of hogs as was ever assembled
here. Many Of them were thorough
breds and these demonstrated the ad-
visibility of turning from scrubs to
thoroughbreds, on account of the
quicker growth and the smoothness Of
the animals.--Walterbo Press &

Robbers entered Judge McRae's
home just across McInnis's bridge on
the night OF the s0th ultimo and re-
moved an iron safe containing about
$50 In cash and currency and many
valuable papers. Judge McRae was
away from home at the time. The
robbers pitched the safe out>of q win
dow and rolled It over and over un-
til they reached piece Of woods sew
eral hundred yards from the house.
They secured an axe and entered the
safe through the bottom. It was an
easy matter to follow the track Of the
safe to where II was hidden I'm the
woods. The papers were scattered ov-
er the ground and Judge McRae was
fortunate enough to find some Of
them. but many valuable papers had
blown away or had been destroyed.
Judge McRae secured blood hounds
from Maxton and they followed the
trail to the rivers edge. It Is thought
that the robbers, after looting the
safe, made their escape down stream
in a boat.
