MAN RENDERED UNCONSCIOUS BY
/ BAD ROAD

The Harney correspondent writes
the following OF December 2S:
On last Thursday night, while Mil
ton Spangler was driving from Tan
cytown to Harney. over our almost
lnpaSsable road. his horse fell some
where between GTeenville and PincN
Greek Church, and threw Mr.. SpIns-
Ter with great force from the buggy.
His head struck somethin2-he does
not know what. He was rendered IN
conscious. he thinks only a short time.
when he became conscious again lie
says that he was laying on his back
in the road. He tried to get up, and
finally succeeded. but was very dizzy.
II was dark and he began to look for
his horse and found it laving in Tne
road. With the ala Oi his buggy lamp,
he managed to get the horse IN and
get the harness fixed up, and get
home, but felt the effects OF the shock
for several days. His horse, which Is
a perfectly quiet one. was slightly
hurt and has been lame from the ct
fects of the fall. While the acciden;
was not fatal. it might have been =
very serious one, and all on account
of the bad condition o. the road; and
we earnestly hope that those III au-
thority will take heed. before some
thing more serious happens. We are
heartily in favor of something beine
done in the matter OF road cOnstruc-
tiun. that Will give the rural Commun-
ity at least some benefit of the money
they paw for road mdintainance. The
way things are at present. our money
that is being expended on the roads
seems to be simply wasted, and We
know, Judging from the previous
yearly statements. that the amount
spent is considerable and we also
know that the benefits derived are
seemingly nothing.

STATE N.C. r. L. ENTERTAINS
FORT HcHENRY BOYS.

For several years. it has been the
custom OF the State Woman'S Christian
Temperance Union to furnish the New
Years treat to the cOnvalescent b US
at Fort NcHenry: this year was not
an exception. for, on consulting Mr..
Mattox. the Vocational Director of the
Fort. il was learned that should this
New Year pass minus the treat. il
would prove great disappointment
to the laddies. So. early in the fall. a
statewide appeal was made by the
State Soldiers and Sailors Superin-
teudcnt Miss Jeanette Mallalieu,
which WAS met with gratifying re
sponse Not only from members and
friends OF the WOman's Christian Tenn
perance Union. but by the Young peo-
pie of the Young Peoples Branch and
the boys and girls of the Loval Tenn
perance Legion as well Packs and
packs and still more packs of post
cards. containing good. wholesome
Jokes: bundles of stories and boxes
of puzzles found their way to State
Headquarters. SIC Park Avenue, Bal
timore. thence to beautifully decorat-
ed envelopes. which. when filled were
given the name of Sunshine Enve-
lopes" a fitting and appropriate name
Not satisfied with such cCntribu-
tions. the County Unions sent money
from which was bought the best ice
cream available Feeling that treat
to ice cream was not complete with
out cake the Baltimore City unions
gave as their part fine contribution
of real home made cakes.
Usually the best always is last and
especially was this true in this case
for. after days of anxious waiting for
all concerned. the happy day and hour
arrived January ,. 2.30 p. m. The su-
perintendent. her committee and a
host OF friends found their way to the
spacious Red Cross Hut auditorium.
where We're congregated 700 smiling.
Jolly bows. Great Christmas trees.
wreathes and garlands of holly stood
out conspicuOus!y. giving the whole
place and atmosphere holiday as
pect.
A special feature was an unique en-
tertainment given by Susa's Kitchen
Band Lasting an hour. the entertain
ment from start to finish was clever.
humorous and amusing. causing the
bows at times to chuckle with laughter.
This band is composed of young men
and women of the Jubilee Young Peo-
pies Branch of Baltimore City. and is
sure TO please an audience fortunate
enough to hear il.
After the entertainment the treat
followed. Besides giving each boy all
he could eat. he was presented with a
Sunshine Envelope as well.
The happy crowd dispersed and
someone overheard some boys re-
mark: Well it just takes the w G..
r. t. to do things right"
The members of the Westminster
local Union desire to thank the friends
who contributed generously TO the
appeal for cards, stories, and puzzles.
