In framing the new tariff bill
every Democratic senator but one
voted for protective duty on some
one or more articles. And of course,
every one of them was top-loftily op-

have tariff placed on the products

In the way she left her money. Among
the many personal possessions she

woman who had brought eggs to them

Lack of Precaution
In Handling Money

few months ago the postal de-
partment of the United States was
losing vast sums OF money in daring
robberies which were being pulled off.
The state of affairs got so bad that
something had to be done orders
were issued that every mail clerk on
the railways and every clerk in any
other position were there was danger.
should arm himself with a big gun
and have it loaded ready for action.
1t was but few days following that
order until every man was armed
and he was instructed TO shoot and
shoot to kill if an attack was made
or if there were circumstances lead
ing him to believe that robbery was
likely. The method worked, for now
there is scarcely mail robbery and
there has been none in months of any
Importance
In Denver a few days ago four rob
bers appeared on the scene when
$2O0,O 900 was being loaded into a
truck to be hauled from the U. S.
Mint to the Federal Reserve bank.
and in few seconds a gigantic rob-
berry had been pulled off, successfully
from the robbers point of view One
man, a guard. was shot and died soon
afterwards.
In a suburban bank in Los Angeles
the same day robbers entered and
held up the cashier and took about
SO 900 while the directors of the bank
were having meeting in a rear room
of the institution In Kansas City
only a week before a robbery took
place and a big sum of money was
carried off, in broad day light, by the
bandits.
| These daring holdups are success
fully pulled off because there is not
adequate protection of the money,
i not enough precaution taken to pre-
vent such holdups. There is crime
wave it is true, but that is all the
more reason why the utmost care
should be taken to protect money, not
only because there is the loss of
the money, but because the lack OF
protection of the money places the
men in charge in dangerous positions
many resulting in the loss of life

Road Signs
Must Go

The edict has gone out from the
State Highway Commission, thru the
various boards of county commits
sioners, that all signs such as adVer-
tisements shall be removed from the
state highways within thirty DAYS.
This is an edict that should be met
with favor by ever resident and
heartily commended. Signs strung
along the highways are not only un-
slightly but they tend to detract from
the regular road signs that are placed
along the highways to properly guide
the traffic. Some signes are placed
in such positions that curves or turns
in the road have become dangerous
TO travel
Big signs placed as they are. along
the highways tend to mar the beauty
of scenery thru which road may
run. Colorado has scenery that ID
second TO none in all the world
Vast sums of money are spent to aG
vertise this scenery and then to
have people come TO the state and see
a road plastered at every interesting
point or at every important turn with
large gaudy signs would tend to dis
gust them.
The order to remove all signs is
commendable one and county COM
missioners should have the backing
of the people in the movement.

Hollands Way.

In several places the rivers In Hcl.
land make their entrances to the sea
over extensive sand-beds, the water
being SO shallow that large vessels
cannot sail in 1t. Rather than remove
the sand-beds, which were looked upon
in olden times as a defense, since they
then kept men Of-war at distance
the Dutch adopt the plan OF sending
out two large fiat-bottomed craft to
the small trading vessels that wish
TO enter the harbor. Arrived on
either side the ship, three pontoons,
as they may be called are partially
sunk by admitting water, and when
their sloping sides are well under the
hull Of the ship to be carried. the
water Is pumped out, and they rise
buOyantly with their burdens between
them Across the shadows they then
bear 1t in triumph. and lower it gently
into the deeper water of the harbor
with equal care the return Journey
Is made when the merchantman L.

Carol Singing Pop,,1..

In over 600 towns throught the
nation Christmas carol singing was
indulged in last year and possibly
twice that many towns will revive the
old custom this Christmas. In De
| troit they started with $50 carolers
in twenty-five groups and the move
ment has spread until that city had
| 100 groups out singing last Christ
mas from to 8 o'clock Christmas
eve. Each group covered both sides
of the street for half a mile or LOO
miles of homes, wonderfully pic
turesQue and uplifting custom. the
plan helps community spirit. kindles
Christmas sentiment and revives q
charming old usage, and as 1t has
been said no other music so well ex-
presses the true Christmas spirit as
the carol of joy. exultation. praise
and devotion.
Carol singing will doubtless spread
and it is quite likely that next Chris
tmas carol singing will be part of
the Christmas program in Ordway. in
connection with the commendable
Community Christmas tree and prog
ram started this year and to be cond-
ucted under the direction of the Lions
Club.
There are a great many who love
the old songs especially suitable at
this season of the year and many
who have photographic instruments
in the home have records of some one
or more of these songs. The New Era
herewith presents the words for five
songs and among them may be rec
ords in the home. If you have rec
ord of Silent Night, or any one OF
the others, put it on and sing with it.

better known as Cyclone Mack" on
last Sunday afternoon, June 18th, an
immense crowd witnessed the largest
baptizing that has ever taken place in
North Carolina, 143 people being i'm
mersed in the beautiful lake at Kan
napolis in exactly 80 minutes. This
ordinance was administered by the
pastor, Rev. }. II. Brown, assisted by
a number of his deacons. The crowd
OF spectators was estimated 10000.
Among those present was Rev. Kirk,
who organized this Baptist church in
1912.
On Sunday afternoon, June Is, the
pastor baptized 45, this making some
300 with those coming in by letter.
This brings our resident membership
to well over 200.
Just word about our Sunday school.
we have 200 on roll, with splendid
attendance every Sunday. Two Sun
days ago 420 were present in the Ba-
raca class, 119 in the Junior Philathea,
ll9 in the Senior Philathea class, with
as equally large number in the other
various classes.
At present we are greatly handi-
capped for lack Of room, as our
church is being added to, but we hope
to be in our new building by the last
of July, thus having room for all who
wish to attend the Baptist church.

Mother-in-Law Accuses Barnwell
Man.
Barnwell, June, 30-Milton Still, a
white farmer, who lives few miles
from this city, has been arrsted on a
warrant charging him with the mur-
The arrest is said to have resulted
from a difficulty between Still and his
brother-in-law, Frank Owens, about
ten days ago, at which time the lat
ter shot Still in the leg Still had
Owens arrested, whereupon Owens
mother, Mrs. NJ a, Owens, divulged
Information which led to the arrest of
|Still on the charge of murder.
From the best information available,
1t seems that the evidence against Still
Is very meager as no eyewitnesses to
the alleged murder can be located. In
May, 1904. the body of IBarnie Diamond
was found lying by the Southern
railway tracks about two miles south
OF Barnwell, and it was thought that
he had been killed by a train during
the night. On the night Of his death
Mrs. Owens was at the home OF Mil
ton Still, her son-in-law, and now
states that she heard cries and the
sound Of blows coming from the house
Of a white woman named Mamie Phil
lips, who lived just across the rail-
road track from Stills home. Mrs.
Owens. 1t is understood, charges that
Diamond was killed at the Phillips
house and his body placed on the track
by Still in an effort to hide his al
legged crime.
The case will probably be brought
to trial at the October term OF the
court of general sessions.
