OLD DAYS IN AMERICUS#

'gripper' by profession, has been in
the grip of the LaGrippe for ten
days. He is out again, but still
shows evidences of his serious i'll
ness.
Mayor John B. Fielder went over
to Abbeyille, yesterday on business,
returning here today.
The county board of registrars.
Messrs. W. +. Clarke, B. T. Adams
and H. Wetteroth, completed yester-
day the task of revising the list of
registered voters Of Sumter county,
calling there from such Democrats,
POpulists and Republicans as have
not paid their taxes and, therefore,
are not eligible voters
The marriage of Miss Mary Watts
and w. D. Miller yesterday morning
was a pleasant surprise to many of
the friends to whom the approaching
nuptials had not been announced.
The pretty young bride is the daugh
ter of Capt. and Mrs. Fl. D. Watts
and as one of Americas most pre-.
possessing young ladies has long
been a favorite among many friends
and admirers. Mr.. Miller holds a
responsible position with wholesale
house in Jacksonville, where he IS
generally esteemed.
A terrific cyclone passed to the
left of Ellaville yesterday afternoon,
and while particulars were not OBJ
tainable last night great damage no
doubt resulted. An entire Central
Railroad train was blown from the
track. Three miles from Ellaville
the cyclone struck it, lifting the To-
connective, which was under the
charge of Captain Sapp, three pas
senger cars and twelve freight cars
from the tracks and ditching the
whole outfit. Several people were
badly bruised but not one was killed.
The rain yesterday flooded the
caverns and cavities in the wretch
ed sidewalks on Cotton avenue, and
the city can derive much revenue in
leasing out these lakes for fishing
privileges.
City Marshall Feagin wears the
belt for the finest green cane grown
in Sumter county. Yesterday he
brought in a sample stalk, from
bed of seed cane. measuring nine
feet and having 81 well developed
joints. When it comes to raising
city taxes, fine horses, watermelons,
and green cane, Marshall Feagin oc-
cupies a front seat in the band
wagon.

Ancient Cartridges
Added to Mystery of
Cache of Skeletons
Special to The Tribune.

Special to The Tribune.
Jordan, Dec. What may be a
new link in the scant link Of evidence
surrounding the mystery of the find
ing of three skeletons of white hu-
mans in shallow grave ON a small
knoll of the G. Il. Bailey farm on Vail
creek northwest Of Jordan two months
ago is contained in a communication
from Eugene Cypert of Huntsville,
Ark, formerly a resident of the Vail
creek country. Mr.. Cypert tells of
the finding of several empty cartridges
near where the skeletons were found
His letter in part follows:
my mother, while looking for one
of Carol Bailey's shoes, which he had
lost, found IL empty cartridge shells
of ancient make in one pile. There
were no letters on the cartridges to
identify the make. They We're long
and smaller at the top end. The car
tridges were just under low white
hill, which hill is southwest of Mr..
Bailey's house. Mother then remark
ed, Here is where some one has lain,
behind this hill. and hidden, while
shooting buffaloes'"
It might be said in connection with
the above information that the knoll
where the skeletons were unearthed
is in a general southwesterly direction
from Mr.. Bailey's house and that the
soil of the shallow grave and of the
knoll is Of white character.

HARDING PROPOSES
CONGRESS HELP
DEVELOP AVIATION
Lack of Wise and Necessary
Legislation Has Confined Air
Craft Progress Says President.

Washington, Dec. President
Harding transmitted to congress Wed
nesday the annual report of the ma
tional advisory committee for aero
nautics with the recommendation that
a bureau for the regulation and de-
velopment of air navigation be estab-
lished in the department of commerce
as proposed by the committee.
''I think there can be no doubt the
president said, in message which ac-
companied the report. ''that the de-
velopment of aviation win become of
great Importance for the purposes of
commerce as well as national de-
Tense. While the material progress in
aircraft has been remarkable. the use
has not as yet been extensively de-
veloped in America. This has been
due. in the main. to lack of wise and
necessary legislation. Aviation is
destined to make great strides and |
believe that America. its birthplace,
can and should be foremost in its de-
velopment.a
The report. which supplemented one
made last April to the president, rec
commended continuation of the air mail
service and development of aviation
for military and naval purposes.

PRESIDENT PLAN
FOR FLEXIBLE RATE
ON TARIFF FAVORED
Penrose Expresses Opinion
Congress Should Go Slow on
Giving President Power.

Washington. Dec. President
Harding's suggestions for flexible
tariff rates and provisions for pro-
claimed American valuation apparently
have been well received by many of
the republican members Of congress
charged with the drafting of tariff
legislation, but a formal decision on
them by the senate finance committee
is likely to be deferred until the actual
rewriting of the house tariff measure
is started, probably next month.
Plan Is Favored
Chairman Penrose, of the senate
committee, plans to confer soon with
the leading republicans of the house
ways and means committee regarding
he had heard much favorable comment
on the presidents suggestions.
Senator Penrose expressed the opin-
ion that careful thought would have to
be given to the manner of delegating
authority to the president to change
the rates or proclaim American valu-
ations as the basis for assessing duties
as changing conditions might warrant.
Amendments to the house bill prescrib-
ing the means of making the grant Of
