No Harm Dono.?The new post
commandant was of a highly moral
character and was amazed and shocked
at what he considered lax ways
about the camp. What particularly
astounded him was when he dropped
down to the athletic field on a Sunday
and found B and C companies engaged
in what had alljhe earmarks of
a ball game.
"See here," he exclaimed, getting
the players on the carpet before him,
"don't you know you shouldn't play
ball on Sunday?"
There was a brief silence until the
InfalllTOnt ahnrfRtnn rnnrplved a hrlffht
Idea.
"We ain't playin' ball, cdlonel," he
explained. "We're Just praoticln'
through nine innings for the next
game."

The Finicky Public.?Rastus was
serving his first term in jail after a
life of petty thieving, from the consequences
of which he had managed to
escape through a general public indulgence.
When he fell so far from
grace, however, as to steal a small
sum of cash it was decided to discipline
him, and his conviction was
speedy. To his parson who came to
visit him Rnstus made his lamen:.
"Rev'rend," he said, "all my life Ah
done stole chickens and sechlike, but
not till Ah takes dis trifiin' amount o'
money has Ah evah sufTered dis indignation."
"Son," replied the parson gravely,
"de Book says that money is de root
of all evil, an' Ah tells you dat when
you starts to tamper wid dat root, tie
vv^ite folks simply will not stan' fo' it."
A Walking Example.?There wasn't
a prouder young father in the town
than former Lieutenant Haskins. Even
if the two-year-old was a bit backward
about learning to operate hie
1 feet, his parent could not see that it
was anything except an advantage.
One day, as he was guiding the child's
uncertain footsteps along the path in
front of his home, a neighbor approached.
"Ah, teaching the little fellow how
to walk, eh!" he commented.
"Not at all," replied the father
proudly*. "The child is teaching me
things about walking I never dreamed
of before. I never in the world imagined
it was such a complicated process.
Could Stay on Second Call.?Ruth
and Alar^orle were spending the afternoon
with their little friend. Jane. At
Ave o'clock they informed their hostess
that they must be going.
"My dears," srfld Jane's mother,
"can't you stay and have supper with
us ?"
"No, thank you," they both replied.
"Mother told us to come home at 5."
Hats and wraps were brought. As
they were being put on. Jane's mother
asked again: "Are you quite sure you
must go before supper?"
"Yes, thank you; we must go" replied
Ruth.
Marjorie seemed to have a different
opinion, and said sotto voce to her sister:
"We don't have to go. Mother
said we could stay to supper if she
asked us twice."?Judge.
Quick.?A. J. Balfour said on the
Aquitania:
"I go back home impressed with
your American quickness. You are
certainly the quickest people on earth.
"An English, farmer was showing an
American over his sheep farm one
day. .
" 'How many sheep do you think
there are in that field?' the farmer
asked.
" 'Er?600,' said the American.
"'Right! Exactly right!' said the
farmer. 'How the deuce did you
know ?'
" 'Why,' drawled the American, 'I
just counted the legs and divided by
four.'"
Helpful Hint.?The wrestling match
was a whirlwind and hotly contested
affair. Every man near the ropes was
on his feet wild with excitement and
yelling with every ounce of lur.g capacity?all
but one frail little man,
who was sitting totally oblivious to
both thp bout and the bedlam in the
attitude of a man who is ,-ninly trying
to recall something.
Finally, with a hopeless sigh, he
looked up and glanced casually at the
wrestlers. Then he sprang up and elbowed
his way through the crowds.
"The osteopath!" he shouted wildly.
"That was it! I have an appointment

traveling salesman to the country
storekeeper. "I have the best adding
machine on earth. It will add any
number of figures accurately."
"Reckon 1 don't need one," replied
the storekeeper, shifting his seat on
the cracked barrel.
"But, man, how else can you keep up
with things?"
"Wal, I got a plenty good enough
system. I cut a notch on the counter
every time T make a sale."

Making Good Progress.
Good progress is being made on the
Sharon-Bullock's Creek trestle link of
the West road. The road hns been cut ,
out and partially graded for a distance
of more than a mile and with favorable
weather the contractors expect to
finish the link within a few weeks.
To Work at Night
Lockhart Mills at Loekhart will inaugurate
night shifts this year, it is
stated. The mill -management has recently
let the contract for a large
number of additional residences for
operatives in order to put on a night
shift. The mills have never operated
night shifts, it is stated.

Parrott Resigns.
Andy J. Parrott has resigned his position
as road supervisor of the North |
and South Rood between Bowling |
Green and the Chester county line.
Mr. Parrott tendered his resignation
Wednesday to the state highway commission.
It is reported that he is
slated for the position of superintendent
of the York county chaingang.
Road Almost Finished.
North Carolina's end of the CloverGastonia
road is now complete except
the asphalt on one and one-tenth miles
of it. There has been an important improvement
in the l<?eation of the road
by the elimination of the double-re
verso curve just norm 01 cruwun s
creek. A few weeks of Rood weather
will facilitate the completion of the asphalt
work that remains to be finished.
The Christmas Bazaar.
The Christmas bazaar o/ the Curb
Market association, was held on December
23, in accordance with advertised
announcement; but because of
the condition of the roads the offerings
were small. However, the day's work
was quite successful considering the
circumstances. Everything offered was
sold and the proceeds amounted to $30.
Miss Lula Smith, the president of the
i association, stated that the next market
will be held on Saturday, January
113th.
An Open Jail.
Sheriff Quinn turned out his last
state prisoner last Saturday, a man
named AJlman, charged with housebreaking
and larceny, and who was released
on bond. There was still one
United States prisoner, a negro, sol ving
six months foi \ iolation of the p
hibition law; but as he is treated as a
I kind o'f a trustv who gives the sheriff
no trouble, tho jail was regarded as
practically open. This condition of affairs
lias occurred probably three or
four times within the past forty years.
Clover-Gastonia Road Closed.
The Clov< r-fJnstonia road has been
closed again, Herat *.e of the fact that
the detour bet wren Howling (ireen and
fJastonia had got ion into almost imj
passable shape, the main road lietwcen
Howling fSreen and flaslonia was
; opened before Christmas. It was not
completed, however, and has been
I closed again in order that the con1
tractors may complete it. According
to P. Tj. St rut hers, engineer in charge,
the work will be pushed as r pidly as
the weather will permit.
Farming On Halves.
Most farmers who went blindfold, d
into th?' present year, lea riled ? nough
one way or another to form some kind
j of an idea as t<> what they v ill do next
)<^\
er Looks as Though He
year. And of course different farmers
have different ideas. In a short talk
with a reporter for The Yorkville Enquirer,
Wednesday, T. Campbell Barnett,
a pretty level-headed farmer of
Bethel, put it this way: "This year I let
out my land for standing rent. Next
year I propose to furnish everything
that the other fellow cannot furnish
and go it on halves. I got my rent this
T Vmrt no pnntrol over the w.lv
the crops were handled. Next year the
farming will be done my way. I expect
to use more fertilizer and do better
farming."
Killed By Switch Engine.
Herbert Lowry, 12 years old, son of
Mr. and Mrs. James Lowry of
Rock Hill, was accidentally killed in
that city last Friday by being struck
by a switch engine.* Herbert, in coinI>any
with his brother, Garnett, was
standing on a side track watching an
engine on another track pushing cars of
coal up into a chute. The switch engine,
which had been taking on sand,
backed back on the track on which the
boy was standing, knocked him down
and cut off one of his legs at the thigh.
The switch engine was in charge of
Engineer H. L. Talley.
Paid One Hundred Cents.
Fred Roy Black, a prominent farmer
of Ebcnezer, went into bank: uptcy a
! few months ago, with J. S. Brice' of
Yorkville, as his attorney. He had assets
in excess of his liabilities, but certain
creditors were pushing him and he
was unable to realize. It appeared
that there was nothing else to do but
| go into bankruptcy. Adjoining landi
owners offered him a fair price for his
lands and on the advice of his attorney
j he agreed to sell. In his application
j for discharge lie submits a report that
I shows all creditors paid in full. The
like has never occurred before in this
! section under the present bankruptcy
| law.

; So He Came Across. i
* .
Stark Alston, colored, who ran a '
drug store in Hock Hill, some time ago 1
gave Treasurer Neil a check for $139 1
for his taxes. Execution had already '
been entered, and the amount of the
check included penalties. But when '
the check went Into the bank, it was
turned down as "no. good." The treasurer
.wrote Alston several times; but
got no answer. Then he looked into
the matter of having the sheriff levy on
the property, and confronting the receipt
that Alston would offer with the
unpaid check. But there were complications
about this. In the meantime
the drug store had. been sold, under
foreclosure, and among other things
there was a question of the rights of the
presumably innocent third party, notwithstanding
the fact that the circumviunr-n
m" thi> unnaid check was an
nounced at the auction previous to the
sale. As the upshot of it all, after securing
the best possible legal advic^,
Treasurer Neil swore out a warrant
against Alston for uttering a worthless
check and gave it to Constable
! Johnson to serve. On being arrested
' Alston wanted a little time in which to
get up the money; but there had already
been plenty of time, so Alston
was brought on to jail. Next day he
came across with the cash and was released,
subject to further prosecution.
? Seven masked men, who approached
the United States mint at Denver,
j Colorado, in an automobile on December
18, got away with $L'00,000 in Federal
reserve currency. The currency
belonged to the Federal Reserve bank
and was being kept at the mint for
j safety. It was in $5 notes in fifty
I sacks. J. E. Allen, cashier of the bank,
{had just gone to the mint after the
| money and with a force of men had
finished loading it into a truck. Just
. as the door of the truck was being
j closed, the robbers came up in a black
touring: car and commenced shooting
with sawed-off shotguns with which
; they were armed. Charles Lintbn, one
jof the Reserve bank guards, was struck
j in the stomach and died shortly afterward.
The alarm was given and arm!
ed mint employes rushed to the front
of the building. Three of the robbers
' kept up n fusllade against the mint
door and windows while others transferred
the packages of money from the
' truck to their automobile. Mint guards
| who came to the upper windows had I
i to be careful of their tire for fear o.
hitting reserve hank employes. As the
robber ear drove off, however, one of
the robbers was badly hit and was
pulled into the car from the running
board. The ear immediately proceeded
' from the outskirts f ' he town and escaped.

calls by the police department.

STATE SYSTEM OF ROADS ,
Badly Needed, But Not to be Had
Without More Taxation.
About the only way to get a state
system of roads is to build It, and the
only way to raise the money'is by" the
issuance of bonds. Those facts arc
obvious. We need a state system of
roads and there is absolutely no other
development to which the people of
the state can donate their energies
thaf will be more worth while. Of
course there will be room for all kinds
of quarrels as to where tho roads will
go?by whose front yard, etc.,?but that
is not worth quarreling about. Give
the state a worth while system of
roads and increased valuation, will
more than pay the cost.?Yorkvllle Enquirer.
Mnhnrtv wants to SCG a State SYStCtll
of hard surface roads any more than
does the Daily Mail, but lets not fool 1
ourselves about the matter. We have
been through many a bond issue campaign
and have been told time and (
again that to vote bonds for so-and-so 1
would not increase taxes a penny; '
that the saving on thus-and-so would
pay tho Interest and retire the bonds.
But when it came to work out the
proposition it has always taken additional
taxntion, and it is going to do '
it 4n the case of a slate highway system.
We have had these "increased valu- '
ations that will more than pay the t
cost" for years, and know exactly how I
it works. It may increase valuations, '
but it won't increase the productive
power of farms a single penny, but '
will increase taxes a whole lot. Not <
every farm is for sale, and for all
practical purposes it makes little dlf- <
ference to the owner of a farm wheth- '
er it is vnlued at $15 or $150 an acre, t
except in the matter of taxes and then <
it matters a great deal. <
The Daily Mall wants to see a sys- c
tem of state roads in South Carolina 1
and hopes some scheme can be work- 1
ed out to construct them, but we have 1
never yet seen a person lift himself i
over the fence by his bootstraps, and <
we nre not going to see it in this case. \
The state tax commission has been t
combing the state to find anything \
that It might place more taxes upon, r
and it has about reached its limit, and |
where new sources of taxation will
come from we do not know. I <]
Hard surface truck line roads arc 11
coming In South Carolina, but it is r
going to take several years' missionary a
work to get ready to absorb this additional
lax burden, but in the meantime ^
let's not try to fool ourselves that we j
can spend a great many million dol- j,
lars without having to pay for it in r
the shape of more tuces. Let us' first a
take stock of ourselves, and see if we g
are ready to take on this additional j
tax, and if so, then lets go ahead. We a
are writing from the standpoint of one
who has seen his taxes increase four- f
fold within a few years, and the prop- fl
erty not worth a cent more and there
are thousands of others in the same j
boat, yet we have voted for practically ^
all the improvements asked for, and r
think they are worth what they cost
In most cases. But wo have not got- ^
ten over the idea that we can eat our1
cake and still have it.?Anderson

BEAR BROKE INTO HOTEL v
a
Better Divide Your Honey With a r
Its Anger.
bear i n?n ?.u > ? ?
A bear burglar came down out of I
the Rocky Mountains In Glacier Nat- <
lonal Park according to a Washington <
letter and demonstrated to the Nat- 1
ional Parks Bureau there is more '
truth than poetry in the old adage, "It '
is better to divide your honey with a
bear than to provoke its anger." But,
Uncle Sam will not place "free lunch"
beehives on the mountain slopes to '
savo National Parks hotel property
from burglar bears.
Tired, of a long summer of licrba- .
ceous diet and bent upon a "honey
spree," a huge marauding grizzly
broke into the commodious kitchen
of the mammoth Many Glacier Hotel
which had been closed for the season. ^
During the height of his "sweet spree"
the bear created a scene of violent indiscriminate
destruction for which
movie producers would have paid a
large sum to film.
The prowling pillager shattered a
thousand pieces of china and classware,
broke a hundred panes of window
glass by hurling out plunder
which he evidently intended to carry
to his winter cache, and otherwise
clawed a property damage estimated
by the Glacier Park Hotel company
to exceed $3,000. .
The broken glass from smashed
honey jars, broken china, glassware
and other debris, when swept up,
? Jilnmn
mndo live wagon wiua iui i.n.
The burglar beast entered through
the main entrance, with true Western
daring, as if he felt entitled to become
the last guest of the season. He
broke a heavy shutter off and then
threw his strength against the main
door within, breaking it off from its
heavy hinges. He took hams and
bacon strips out of the icebox, tore
down shelves with his jaws and paws,
scattering glassware and dishes helter
skelter. He passed on Into the cafaterla
and ruined five sacks of flour
and four bags of sugar by breaking I
them open and mixing the contents of I
all into one pile upon the floor. In i
this mixture he rolled, just to scratch ;
his back. Evidently he forgot how |
he got into the cafateria, for he j
smashed the windows to get out. He |
broke fifty panes of glass and a num- I
her of sashes right there and it was I
evident from blood stains on the sills I
and upon the ground below the win- j
dov/s that he jumped fifteen feet to
the ground from one of the cafateria
windows in making bis get-a-wa.v.
That was Sunday morning, Oct. 22.,
The lingeiing taste of honey, was too!
much for him. He ventured back on j
a second raid that night. Cyril McGills,
the watchman, having made the
alarming discovery of the previous
visit was In waiting for the "Feasting
Forager" in the kitchen, armed
with a high powered rifle. It was an
Intense moment for the watchman
when he threw on all tho electric
light switches illuminating the hotel
for the encounter. He found Bruin
in a hallwny between,the kitchen and
the cafateria, on his haunches, shaking
his massive head from side to side .
In an alarmingly defiant manner. The
beast roared and plunged forward but
the watchman took quick aim and sent
a bullet through the animal's neck.
The towering beast fell back dying,
his bulky body striking against a
large box which collapsed under the
great weight.
It was a giant silver tipped grizzly
and measured seven feet and nine
inches from tip to tip. Supt. J. R.
Enkin, of Glacier Park took possession
of the pelt trophy which the National
Parks Bureau probably will dispose
of as an exhibit for the Smithsonian
Institute.
ELEPHANTS* DI8CARDED
People of Siam Will no Longer Regard
Them as Objects of Worship.
-
White elephants are losing prestige ;
n Slam, the country which made them
'amous, relates a Bangkok, Siam dispatch.
Although several of these anmals
are kept in captivity in Bangcok,
the capital, they are no longer
evered by the people ds in former
iays.
The possession of one or more white
ilephants was considered as one of the
necessities of kingship by the early
ulers of Siam and the other countries
>f the Malay peninsula. Dispatches
)ver ownership were the cause of frejuent
wars. In the sixteenth century,
'or instance, Bayin Naung, king of
3urma, demanded a white elephant
'rom the king of Siam. Upon being
fused, he invaded the country and I
:aptured the royal family and three
vhite elephants. According to one of
he Siamese legends, Gautama Buddha
vas once a white elephant, end hlfe
nother, in a dream, met him in heaven
n that shape.
No elephants are entirely white,
rhe so-called white elephants are on- '
y a little lighter in color than ordl- ?
lary elephants. Sometimes one has
i few white hairs on the head or tall.
In olden days, the discovery of a
vhite elephant wgs a source of great
oy to the people. After the animal j (
tad been tethered with Bilken cords,
lews would be sent to the king. Then '
i, body of nobles would visit the place
ind escort the elephant, in stately
>rocession, to the capital where a palice
would be erected for it.
After a period of taming the cle- i
ihant would be given covers of velvet ,
md silk, embroidered with gold and ,
ireclous stones. A gold plate, bear- (
ng his names and titles, would be
astened on bis head. Slaves, priests,
nusicians and dancing-girls were set
ipart for his amusement. The finest
vegetables and fruits were given him
is food. t 1
But nowadays white elephants have ,
rone out of style. At the present time
hey are brought to Bangkok by train,
vithout any guard of honor.- They
ire housed in ordinary stables, with
10 priests or dancing-girls in attcndince.
Hay, leaves and young bam)oos
are given them to eat. The white
-lephant now iives the same work-a- |
lay life as his darker-skinned fclows,
though In the legends of th< [
Siamese and in their national flag he
vlII be honored for centuries to come, j
