some six dollars, and then there
would be the expense of hosting the
flag pole, and the trouble of taking

be we'll worth the trouble and ex-

fine opportunity to teach the lessons
of the flag and the significance Of it,
and it would tend to instil a patriotic

ply is that if they will come in groups
tickets of admission may be had for
80 cents each. | also took up the
matter of transportation with Mr.. W..
f. McGee of the Southern Railway,
and he says the fare is one and one
half regular fare one way, and that
he would be glad to leave US any one
or more of the best coaches so that
the teachers might have car to
themselves. Mr.. McGce also said that
while the railroad does not. haul the
passengers out to the grounds he
would take pleasure in assisting to Sc
cure special street cars for the party
when it arrived in Columbia, so that
you might get off the train and right
on the street car, and be transferred
Immediately to the fair grounds. Su-
perintendent Cannon of city schools
says he does not favor giving a holi-
day unless the teachers really go to
the fair, and neither do l. If they
desire to go, and will go, then l
would recommend to the trustees
that they give this day for that pur-
pose, but unless they are really in
tending to 60 there is no use in hol-
iday. Of course the matter of giving
the day for this purpose is in the
hands of the trustees. If any num-
ber of teachers would like to attend
the state fair and will let me know at
once l will be glad to take the matter
up with the trustees, and also with
the state fair association and arrange
for the entrance and also for the spe-
cial coaches so that there would be no
crowding, and also for the street cars
so that there would be no delay in

nation at once so that / may make
the necessary arrangement. If any

it would take more than one coach to

Trustees could be counted in the

state fair has an education value and
l feel that a day off to attend by the
teachers of the county would be pro-
! ftably spent, but the matter of let
ting the teachers take the day is for
the trustees of the various school dis
tricts to determine.

THE IRISH SITUATION

In the last few weeks there has been
continual fighting among the Irish, most
ly between the Irish Free State and the
Republican army. Another stage in the
solving Of the Irish problem has passed.
The recent elections and the war results
show a great majority Of the Irish in
favor Of the Anglo-lrish Treaty.
The elections and the war have brought.
let us hope, the final OF last crisis in the
struggle for freedom and self govern
ment Of Ireland. The Provisional govern
ment has decided that the best policy is
TO obey the will Of the people and at
tempt TO get the Republican army to re-
spect the decision.
1t is difficult 10 say what the extremists
expect to gain by fighting. The word
republic means the sovereignty OF the
people. The Republicans propose TO
Fight to establish the sovereignty OF the
army against the will OF the people. They
cannot succeed. II they do force the
Irish people to submit to their armed
will they will Immediately be at war with
C-eat Britain. The British Government
will not tolerate a continuance OF the
present Iawlessness and murder. II the
Republicans set out to subdue the ver-
dict Of the people and establish their own
authority in ireland by the sword they
. will have 10 deal with united force Of
the Irish majority, Ulster and Great
Britain.
! OF course there will be but one end
The Republicans were defeated but with
their self-ceniered violence they can yet
DO immense mischief to their country.
The bitterness they can introduce will
weaken and demoralize the Irish for a
number Of years and if they compel for.
eign Intervention Ireland will lose the
Thing fer which the people have so long
fought, self-government.

HISTORICAL BELMONT
MANSION Il SHOWPLACE
OF PARAMOUNT PARK

By United Press.
PHILADELPHIA. July ll.-visitors to
the International exposition here in 1926
or 1927 will find many points Of interest
in the old mansions Of Fairmount, Park.
Among those worth visiting is she old
Belmont mansion which stands on one
Of the highest points in the park, COM
manding beautiful view Of the winding
Schuykill.
The history Of this old mansion is in
teresting. Once the home Of William
Peters, who built it in l745. and ia
vorite resort Of George Washington, it is
now a restaurant.
Wings have been added TO the original
structure, which was but a small building.
One was added in 1870 when Duke
Alexis was guest Of honor at a dinner at
the mansion. On the oldest part Of the
building there still is a stone flag set in
the wall on the north end Of what was
once the library, bearing the letters J.
W. p. and the date l745.
William Peters, the original owner,
was a man Of fortune and prominent in
Colonial affairs. During the Revolution,
of which he disapproved, he returned
to England and left his estate to his ia.
nous son, Richard. who was born in the
house. and died there in 1923.
Richard was an ardent advocate Of the
Colonial cause and during the war was
secretary Of the Board Of War. afterwards
was a member Of Congress and for nearly
forty years judge Of the United States
District Court.
Judge Peters was famed for his hospi-
iality, wit and charming and genial per-
sonaliiy. He was trusted and devoted
friend Of Washington, who used TO visit
the mansion often.
Washington was not the only noted Wis.
itor to the house. Benjamin Franklin,
Robert Morris, John Penn. John Adams,
Jefferson. Lafayette and the Chevalier Ia
Luzerne were all guests Of Judge Peters.

A CORNER BUILDING LAW

Building is on the boom in Columbia
now. Various structures are in the pro-
cess Of construction in different sections
Of town. Some Of lhem-a few bunga-
lows and small houses in particular
are being built on corner lots, close
enough 10 the street that they obstruct the
view Of the passing motorists. The driver
is not able to see the approach Of other
cars turning the corner, and accidents
are always imminent.
II. however. for corners where acci-
dents are liable to occur there were a
ruling that houses must be built at
designated distance back on the lot, a
clear sweep across the front lawn would
enable the moiorist TO see other cars
turning the corner and a step toward ac-
cident protection would be obtained.
In practically every case, the corner
lot is deep enough that house could be
built at such a distance from the street
that would keep the structure from being
a menace TO traffic.
