ming in one OF these streams came out
dyed black.
A chemical analysis Of the black
snow has been made and it was found
the substance was composed of pure
carbon in the very finest state-so fine
that it passed through ordinary filter
paper.
Carbon Undisputed.
The presence of the carbon in the
black snow is undisputed. The only
theory advanced for it is that the fine
carbon from the smoke of one of the
large industrial centers was carried by
the higher air currents.
Then conditions changed over the
Brooks Gap area, causing the carbon
to be precipitated with the snow fakes,
giving the latter a coal black appear

SAVANNAH GIVES LIQUOR.
PRISONERS BIG SENDOFF.
SEVERAL HUNDRED PEOPLE
AT CENTRAL STATION TO
SEE THEM LEAVE.
SHOUTS AND WAVING OF HATS
Eighteen Prisoners Leave in Special
Coach to Begin Terms in Federal
Penitentiary. Some Must Pay Big
Fines in Addition to Prison Terms.

SAVANNAH, Ga.-The Central of
Georgia depot was the scene of noisy
send-off for Is men who had been
sentenced to terms in the Atlanta PEN
itentiary on prohibition charges.
The car in which the men were ia
ken to Atlanta was a passenger coach,
sandwiched in between the sleepers
near the rear OF the train. A crowd OF
several hundred people, including men,
women and children, gathered to see
the men off. The men in the car hung
out OF the windows, all of them ap-
parently in good spirits, shouting last
messages and farewells to acquaint-
ances in the crowd.
The Train Leaves.
Bv train time the crowd had swelled
SO that it was with difficulty one man
aged to get through it. The men in
the car were hastily exchanging good
byes with their friends The warning
that the train was about to start was
sounded. A woman lifted small child
up to the car window for man to
kiss. There were hurried handshakes
and farewells The train started. A
great shout went up from the crowd,
The men waved their hats at the de
parting men with shouts of good
luck!" and so longp Women waved
their handkerchiefs-som of them
cried. The train pulled out of the shed
and the crowd dispersed.
Officials on Board.
United States Marshal Mcleod,
Deputy Marshal Stuart and special
deputies were on board the car, which,
it is understood, was run direct to the
federal prison near Atlanta. The pris-
oners had been under the supervision
of the marshal in his office at the fed
cral building following their sentences.
While the men were detained there
throughout the afternoon, President
street, outside the postofice, was 5en-
livened by shouted communication
between the men and their friends in
the street.
Judge William H. Barrett, of the
federal court of the southern district
of Georgia, was a passenger on the
Cantral train that carried the men
whom he had sentenced earlier in the
day. The Judge was in the sleeper i'm
mediate1y next to the prisoners car.
He was returning to his home in Au-
gusta.
Given Heavy Sentences.
Among the 20 men who were SEN
fenced on pleas of guilty to conspiracy
to violate the United States prohibi-
ton law were a number who had been
more or less prominent figures in Sa-
vannah. The sentences ranged all the
way from two years imprisonment
and $4,000 fine to one month in jail
and $500.

Merchant Loses Sale;
Backs Out on Bargain

1t takes all kinds OF people to make
a world, and the quickest way to learn
the human side OF persons is often, or
rather nearly always. by rubbing ell
bows with them in a business deal.
As an example the writer cites two
men Of vastly different natures and
vastly different ideas of business.
Recently | purchased from merch-
ant an article which was somewhat
shopworn and which had seen in his
window a year before. II was marked
50 and | called the attention OF the
dealer to the fact but he said, We'll,
they were 50. but you may have 1t for
81"
Just then his son came, wrapped the
bundle and when rendered my dollar
he insisted ON having two. He called
his father down sharply for telling
this woman she could have the ar
ticle for 81" and offered stingy
compromise at s175. which was re-
jected. and the sale was not made.
The toy was carefully unwrapped and
again placed in his familiar stamping
ground in the window where It will
doubtless stand for another year or
two.
In striking contrast was an eN-
perienoa with a young man who sells
perishable merchandise. purchase
was made and placed on ice late in
the day 1, was not used next day. and
the following morning was unfit for
use. Calling the merchant I told him
the circumstances and said that what
ever he felt was right would be salts
factory with me: that perhaps owin &
TO weather conditions | should not eN-
pect the article to remain in good
condition, but he Immediately said he
would replace It. | then begged off
and wanted to compromise, but he in
sisted ON making the entire purcha 81
good
The point I want TO make Is this. In
the first place a bargain had been
made and was acknowledged by the
elder man and should have been lived
up to. The establishment has lost a
friend and a customer.
In the second instance. even whore
there was question involved. the
merchant made good" cheerfully, and
by his attitude has won the undyinE
respect OF his patron.
The merchant first named. I am
glad to say. does not I've in Delta. The
other one does.

HAMMOND PROTESTS
AGAINST PAVING BONDS
Delta, Colo, July 2, 1924

Delta, Colo, July 2, 1924.
To the Citizens of Delta:
feel that it is my duty to
bring to every reasonable person in
the City of Delta the facts concern
ing the Pavement on Main Street.
In doing this want to call attention
to the fact that ! am not against pro
gress and I do not lack civic pride. I
call to your attention. not with any
sense OF eEotism the fact that | am
the only white man living in the
county who came here before the In
dtans left That ! was one OF the first
to erect fine ten-room brick dwelling
on Main Street That | have maintain
ed this dwelling, and kept the prim.
tses in respectable condition during
all the period since its construction,
and that during all the period since
its construction. | have never gone to
the County Commissioners, nor to anv
one and sought a reduction OF taxes
upon my property
Every dollar have made I have in.
vested in the City Of Delta. and | am
now 81 years Of age. and past the
earning capacity in my life With
my dwelling ! have three lots. which I
am informed will cost me in the
neighborhood OF sl2OOoO for the sole
purpose Of frontage tax for paving
not including the side street tax
which might be levied upon me. which
would make tax upon five lots or a
total of about $4,000. as a possibil-
tty OF expense. have just been In.
formed that am to pay for the lots a
water maintenance charge which is an
additional $500. In other words the
people OF the city have encountered
my property to the extent OF from
100000 to about $4,000 90 without nv
consent and against my protest
l have repeatedly asked the CITY OF
ncials why the dirt streets were not
kept in good condition. and have been
informed that there were not sufficient
funds to grade and care for the
streets we now have have observed
streets which have pavements. and
have noticed that the expense OF the
upkeep is about the same. II not
greater than the upkeep on the dirt
street besides the additional expense
OF paying interest on the bonds which
VIII be floated to make this paving
possible.
Now. ! do not want anyone To be.
lieye that I am against progress but
! believe that II is my duty as a citi.
zen to bring forth the Fundamental
business principles that one is re-
quired to exercise in the maintenance
OF their own private affairs. No sens.
ible man, in the transaction OF his
own business would cucumber HIS
property and incur indebt edness and
never make provision for payment.
To my mind this course which ia
peinE followed does not lead to pro- 1
sress but to poverty. II does not
orighten our outlook for the future |
nut Is curse upon posterity. We
Know that we have a large indebted. |
ness already hanging over us, which |
has never been substantially reduced. |
and no concerted effort has ever been
made to liquidate this and now that
we are passing through the hardest
times that our country has ever known |
IL seems to me impracticable to attempt
10 make outward show. Ahen we arc
fully Incapable OF performance.
