CONSCIENCE HURTS HIM.
And Man Pays For Iron Stolen From
Anderson County.

No one ever forgets to collect mon
ey from Anderson county when it is
due them, but it remained for a mid
die aged white man to break all pre-
cedents in coming forward and pay
ing a debt to the county that is ten
years old, and fulfilling an obligation
which the county had no record OF.
According to ]. S. Acker, a clerk
in the supervisors office, middle
aged white man came in his office the
other day seemingly rather i'll at ease.
The man was rather poorly dressed,
and seemed to be in very moderate
circumstances. He hemmed and
hawed about his business with Mr..
Acker for a few minutes and finally
stated that he wanted to make con-
fession and get straight.
Mr.. Acker did not know what to ex-
pect. Whether this was man want
ed for some crime, an escaped convict
or what not, Mr.. Acker did not know,
but he just sat and waited. The man
finally told his story.
Some ten or eleven years ago a new
bridge was built near Portman. This
bridge was used to replace another
structure, and after the job was COM
pleted, much of the iron was left on
the banks of the river. The man had
taken a small piece of iron and made
himself a plow, using it a great deal
since then. His conscience prompted
him to come to Anderson and pay for
it.
Friend" he said, 81 owe this coun-
ty some money and want to pay it..
You remember ten or eleven years
ago when the county was building
Earle's bridge, near Portman. Well,
there was whole lot of iron left on
the side of the river and l took a
piece of it to make me a plow. l
have used this plow whole lot, but
I'll tell you it has bothered me ever
since. I don't feel like I did right,
and I want to pay the county for the
iron"
"Well, SIR I told him, 81 don't
know what the iron was worth, nor
ANYTHING about it, but if it will ease
your mind any, I'll be glad to accept
payment for the piece and give you a
receipt for it,
"The man paid me so cents" con-
tinued Mr.. Acker, "saying that it was
just a little piece of iron, and he
guessed so cents would pay for the
iron and interest on the debt. An

THEY PREPARE FOR WORST.
Federal Officers Take Undertaken
Along When After Smugglers.

An army would not move to battle
without having the ambulance, and
first aid corps close behind. Neither
would federal officers stationed along
the Mexican border go after SNUG
glers without taking precautions
against injury or death.
Federal officers at Ell Paso, Tex,
often take with them an undertaken
and his outfit. The undertaken and
his assistants follow near the officers
cars. They stop in the distance and
wait until the fight is over.
When the shooting ceases, or if a
call for aid comes, the ambulance
moves to the scene of the fight. With
the officers the undertaken surveys
the field, assisting any officer who
might be wounded, or carrying any
dead to the ambulance. Then he
goes to hunt for the killed or wound
ed smugglers, who often are found
in clumps of mesquite bushes or half
hidden behind sand dunes.

COLUMBIA ELKS' HOME BURNED.
Midnight Blazes Causes Damage in
Heart of the City.

Columbia, Sept. 1S.-Firemen early
this morning succeeded in getting un-
der control the fire that shortly after
midnight Saturday night threatened
an entire city block in the heart of
the business section.
The fire originated in small vul-
canizing plant in rear wing of a
three-story building, and was for
more than thirty minutes smothered
between the ceiling and roof, finally
breaking through to completely de-
stroy the structure. The building was
occupied by Wingfeld's drug stire,
Haltiwanger's, a fashionable woman S
dress shop; the Elks' home, small
vulcanizing plant and barber shop.
All these buildings were wiped out
and, including the building itself, en-
tailed a loss of $250,000.

FORECAST BY DUTCH PROPHET.
Early Cold Wave Predicted and Sc
yerest Winter Since 1918.

September 25 is the central date
for predicted change in the weather
from hot to possibly to cold,
SAYS the Dutch Weather Prophet. In
northern and northwestern latitudes,
he predicts it will be cold with frost
previous even to the central date,
which will move the cold wave for
the west forward to Wednesday and
proba bly, to the same time for the
east and southeast, the time for the
termination of cool wave extend
ing from September IS to 25. Sep
tember was another period for a
cool wave and it occurred in the West
and passed northward, having been
DETECTED by the San Antonio disturb
ance.
The coming winter will be the
coldest since 1917-1S he says. Three
SHOWS are indicated for the territory
south and east of the Blue Ridge.
Indications at the same time are to
the effect that snow will extend far
south, and the winter will be accom-
panied besides by numbers of snow
f1urries.
'These forecasts will be confirmed
more decidedly October 1, together
with predictions as to possible
amount of precipitation during the
winter and prospects for grain crop
(wheat and oats) in this section,' y
the prophet said.
Precipitation will occur September
in the south and southwest and it
may include Columbia and vicinity in
it's progress northeastward, accord
ing to his prediction.

The little town of Elko shipped
during the past season 127 solid car
loads watermelons and truck. This
was a wonderful showing for that
section and goes to show that the
farmers there are not depending on
their cotton crops entirely. 1t is to
be remembe bered, in this connection,
that Elko has some of the finest cot
ton lands in the country. Last year,
we believe it was, the finest field of
cotton perhaps in this section of the
state could be seen short distance
from Elko on the railroad. The
rows appeared to be six feet apart
and the stalks were so rank that one
could hardly walk in the field. Such
lands afford a great temptation to
plant cotton, but the past season "a
carloads of melons were loaded at
Elko; IL carloads of cucumbers, and
27 carloads of asparagus. In addi-
tion to this several thousand dollars
worth of similar crops was shipped by
express in smaller lots. However, it
may be remarked, the freight rates on
this enormous shipment amounted to
a tremendous sum, eating a large
hole in the profits. The total freight,
we are told, amounted to about $751;
120, and the gentleman giving the in
formation says that the shippers re-
ceived only about one-half of the net
proceeds Of the sales.

DREW ON HIS IMAGINATION
To Put It Mildly, Longfellow was Not
Always Accurate in His De-
scriptive Poems.

The poet LOngfellow has set an ex-
ample Of inaccuracy in dealing with
our Pilgrim ancestors which has been
widely followed. His charming poem,
"Fhe Courtship of Myles Standish,' .
mas been read by millions Of his coun-
trymen and doubtless accepted by
great numbers as gospel truth. Yet
1t has no historical basis, says writ
er in the Boston Transcript. There
is not scintilla of evidence that the
fearless captain, who was small Of
stature and red-haired, but every inch
soldier-had any desire to win the
affections of Priscilla Mullins. He
was a very busy man during the first
years at Plymouth. And, but for. his
wisdom, skill and heroic actions, there
is little doubt but what they would
have all been murdered by wild saw
ages, who were not wholly restrained
by Massasoit. It seems too bad that
so brave and unselfish a man as Stan
dish was should now be paraded be-
fore his descendants as rejected
suitor. He and they deserve better
fate.
The poet is no more accurate in
dealing with him than he is in de-
scribing the marriage of John Alden
and Priscilla. What a pretty bit Of
fiction it was to place Priscilla on a
"milk-White steer" when there was
not COW, nor a steer, in all New
England!

For Love Of

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Rural Delivery Mailman Clark
logged along the country road in his
white wagon feeling, as he expressed
it to himself, considerably down in the
mouth. For one thing, the dress goods
ordered parcel post from the huge
mail order house had not arrived for
old Mrs. Bassett; for another, he was
bringing Joel Sanders, long out OF
work from rheumatic fever, another
bill from his city landlord; but most
important of all, he had no letter for
Ellen Mary.
Now, John NJ. Clark was very sym
pathetic young fellow and the thought
of the disappointment in Ellen Mary's
blue eyes when she ran down to the
letter box to wait for him and found
that still no letter had come, was very
upsetting.
Yes, there she was! He could catch
a glimpse of her white dress as she
ran lightly down the slope of the lawn
to the gate. He gave his white horse
a flick of the whip, either to get the
business over with or to shorten the
interval before having a chance to
speak to her.
Ellen Mary had grown up in the last
year. Although he wasn't very many
years her senior he could recall her
as little girl with long braids and a
happy laugh. He had watched the
braids disappear into thick, fluffy
knot at the nape of her neck and her
skirts lengthen decorously.
And since last summer he had OBJ
served that her happy laugh had gone,
too; ever since that fellow from the
city with his white fannels and So
phisticated airs had come to board
with Ellen Mary's aunt while doing a
job Of surveying for the state COM
missioner of roads. At the mere re-
membrance Of him, John, who was
ordinarily most mild-mannered man,
flicked the patient horse again, this
time so irritably that the animal

Wonderful Nevada Opal.

The mines of Humboldt county, Ne
vada, have produced every kind Of
opal known to science. The great
black opal found there some years ago
was the largest ever discovered, weigh
ing 1919 troy ounces, or, in jewelry
phraseology, 1866 karats. 1t is nearly
inches long, 3 Is inches wide and
averages 2 1-8 inches in thickness. It
is, in short, about half the size of an
ordinary brick. At Sc karat it's
value would be more than $4,000, but
its great size increases the value to
the point where it is worth whatever
a gem fancier will pay for it. The
highest rating ever obtained for an
opal was that for gem from Hun
gary, which was estimated to be Worth
S25O,0OO. On the same basis of rating
the Nevada gem would be worth as
much.

Bathed in the warm waters of the
Gulf stream, the climate of the He

sidering the latitude, and there is an
average rainfall over the entire group

mounts to over 100 inches at the coast.
In spite Of this, the islands are for
the greater part treeless. Hope Mon
