Just few years-or possibly q few
months-ahcad.
This scientist is Moses b. Cots
worth. He's one Of the worlds best
known scientists.
Plans Calendar Reform.
He's devised a new calendar known
as the yearal calendar.
1t provides for 13 months, each
month with 2S days to supplant the
present cumbersome system Of IL
months with 80 or 81 days.
Every month in this new calendar
begins on Sunday and ends on Sat
urday and has four even weeks.
The thirteenth month is known as
ISL" and is inserted between June
and July. All other months have
the same name as in our present cal.
endar.
But IS months of % days make
only 364 days and the year has 1865.
So Cotsworth would make New Year
Day a special day, without any name
or date. inserted between the end of
enc year and beginning of the next.
This would be holiday the world
over and would be the necessary
extra day TO bring the number of
days to 365.
Its Advantages.
And every leap year Cotsworth
would insert another extra day--Lean
Year Day-without any name oI
date. That would be a holiday, too
Cotsworth says his calendar would
have these advantages:

signed, saying:
Bitter Pill TO Swallow
After | had empaneled the grand

followed the law in the matter and
acting on my own initiative which
was backed up by the opinion of tho
then attorney central, s. p. Freezing
dismissed it, although 1t was u bit
ter pill for me to swallow in ac-
knowledgng my mistake.
"In the excitement of seeing an ac-
count of the situation in last nights
newspapers l erred in my telegram to
County Attorney Hepburn at Okmul-
gee this morning when / said that |
acted under the directios and advice

This was not true. Freezing gave
me no instructions in the matter, but
merely told me his opinion which bore
out my convictions, when l was in
Oklahoma City last Tuesday 40 at

Walhalla, March 2S: Rev. s. O..
Whitman, superintendent or Oconee
Orphanage, situated several miles
from Walhalla, near old Pickens, was
cantured at a blockade still about mid
night last night by Sheriff Alexander
and deputies. 1t is alleged that two
others were at the still but escaped.
Several years ago Rev. Whitman came
TO Oconee from Anderson county ana
established the Oconee Orphanage.
This institution has had n rather
stormy life, but of late the superin-
tendent seemed to be making some
progress with his institution. Mr.
Whitman was lodged in Jail ard up to
noon had made no bond. 1t is not
stated whether or not Mr.. Whitman
owned the still or whether or not
other arrests are to follow.
- Governor Cooper has set April
as date for the hearing on the tele-
phone rate act, which is still on his
desk and unsigned. This is the act
putting the telephone rates back on the
basis of January /, 1921, before the
railroad commission last year author
lied the increase of rates. The act is
opposed by the telephone company
and at the company's request the gov
ernor agreed to have hearing. He
will hear the companys arguments
for veto of the measure. 1t has been
stated that the governor will in all
probability sign the act, but that he
will hear the telephone company's side
of the question first. This act is back
ed by the telephone subscribers asso-
citation organized last year. In addi-
ton to providing. for reduction of
rates, it also provides for the restora-
ton of free service between towns
within short distance Of each other.
