two C0LORED MEN KILLED
In STORM YESTERDAY
james Nichols And Charles Camper
Killed When Barn In Which They
Were Standing Was Struck. Barn
And Contents Burned. Mr.. Roland
Jones Has Narrow Escape.

The first electrical Storm of thi,
year. in this section. resulted in the
killing of two colOred men yesterday
afternoon. while a white man. Mr..
Roland Jones had a very narrow es-
cape.
The TWO colorcd men. James
Nichols and Charles Camper. who
live near Woolford had been engag-
ed in balinS hay during the day for
Mr.. Edward 3. Jones, Jr., at his
farm on the State road between
Church Creek and Milton, and had
completed the job and had Just mn
ished putting the hay in the barn
when the storm came up.
As the storm burst upon Them
about the time they finished getting
the hay put away they sought refuge
from it in the barn. Mr.. Edgar Is.
Jones. il, to whom the proper'!
and hay belonged, had worked win
them in baling the hay but became
very warm while putting the nay
away and. his brother. Mr.. Rolahu
Jones, finding him not feeling Wen
advised him to go over 10 NEARBY
house and rest. and that he Woulo
help finish getting the hay IN. W men
the job was completed the two COLOR
ed men took seats upon the nay on
one side of the door while Mr.. Jones
stood upon the opposite side.
Suddenly an unusually bright
flash of lightning came and Mr..
Jones noticed that his team, which
was standing at the side of the road,
had started to run. He ran after
ivi
building in which he had been stand
ing had been struck by the llghth-
ing. After catching his team ne
glanced back and noticed the smoke
coming from the building and ran
over and called his brother to come
over to the barn to see what tneg
could do. When he got there thes
saw the body of Camper near the
door and succeeded i'll getting nm
out, he having fallen toward the door
when struck by the lightning, put
Nichols had fallen or been thrown
in the other direction. in the nay
and on account of the smoke ana the
flames it was impossible to get his
out.
Mr.. Roland Jones was within al
few feet of the two men when the! |
were struck and killed and did not
even know the building had been
struck. He stated afterward that ne
never heard sound from either OF
the men. nor any Indication that the
bolt had struck the building at all.
II is believed that the bolt of nghtn- |
ing entered the door upon the OPP |
nosite side from that in which he |
was standing and struck the men,
probably killing them instantly.
The barn and its contents were
set on fire by the lightning and burn |
ed to the ground. Mr.. Jones stated
last night that both the building ana
the hay were insured although not
sufficiently TO cover the loss.

New York, April 4.-Professor Albert
Einstein, originator OF the conception

universe and space are limited, and
both space and time will finally disap-

ers here virtual "brainstorms" yester
day in their efforts 10 follow his ca.

They gathered, however. that the
professor does not claim the theory is
entirely infallible but he declares that
two facts so far bear out his deductions
They are the irregularities OF the
movements Of the planet Mercury and
the fact, since proved by British scien-
lists, he said, that light is deyiated
when passing by a planetary body like
the sun or a large planet
That was about all The professor
would add to make the poor report

A LITTLE TALK ON THRIFT.
(By $. w. Straus, President Ameri-
can Society for Thrifty


The most concise and comprehensive
definition of thrift may be stated in
two words: Eliminate Waste. A very
simple definition, indeed, yet the mind
can travel far before it reaches the
end OF the possibilities for human bet
terment that spring from the consistent
practice of this rule
Eliminate waste and we have the
most perfect system of efficiency no
matter in what phase OF human activity
the rule may be applied.
Eliminate the waste that springs
from false pride and habits of extrava-
gance and we shall have an end TO
much of the human sorrow and vice
that exists in the world today.
Eliminate the waste Of ignorance and
we Shall see fewer losses sustained by
those who are the victims OF fraudulent
investment.
1t is not possible to established a
standard Of thrift that will be appli'
cable alike to all persons. Environment
and circumstance alter conditions.
What might be considered thrift for
one man would be the height Of profit
gacy for another.
The man whose income is large or
whose wealth is ample, has no moral
right to be thriftless with his resources,
but he has duties TO his fellowmen
which call for expenditures of money
along lines that would be considered
ill-advised for persons in less affluent
conditions.
During the war We limited our eX-
penditures TO channels that would be
unfair to certain business interests II
continued today, because certain lines
OF merchandise were non-essential 10
the winning of the war, but they have
their rightful place in the business life
Of nation at peace.
What is wasteful therefore under
one circumstance or with one person
may not be 50 considered from the
standpoint Of another person or under
a different condition. Saving money
at the expense Of ones health or edu-
cation or general development is not
within itself an example Of thrift.
To develop and grow, to gain our
rightful place in the affairs of men, TO
be Of constructive value to the world,
to keep step with the eternal march Of
civilization--these are the manifesto
tions of thrift. And they come primar-
ily and fundamentally from the thrift
which is the elimination Of waste.
Let US keep these two words-Elimi-
nate Waste--ever in our minds. They
Will prove helpful to Us in the midst OF
our daily duties.
