HEAD TOO HARD FOR LEAD. Ball Split and Deflected by Man's Skull. York, Jan. 1.?It is a good thing for Son Hinton, colored, that his head is hard, for had it not been he would be a dead one now. Son got in a rucus Saturday afternoon with Haas Watson, also colored, the affair occurring on the Simrill place just east of town. Haas shot Son in the head, the ball, a 32-calibre, entering straight until it struck the skull, when it turned and lodged behind his ear. When removed several hours later by Dr. W. G. White, the * + rVia notrrn's leaden missie was Spill, IUC uvg>v . head proving so hard that the pistol fired at close range could not penetrate it. The wounded man is getting along nicely. Watson made his escape after the shooting and has not been apprehended. THOSE GREEXVILLE ROADS. Philadelphia Newspaper Points Pennsylvania to the South. Greenville county, South Carolina, strongly resembles Franklin county, this State, in area ,and population. Its territorial extent, 745 square miles, is almost exactly that of Franklin, 751, and its population, not far from 60,000, is close to the 59,775 inhabitants credited to the Pennsylvania county by the last census. Probably it is not so hilly as Franklin, but that is immaterial. nnint about this 1 Lit! imcicoi.iub South Carolina county is that it is setting an example in road building to which not only Pennsylvania, but the whole country, might well give heed. Presumably it is not so wealthy a district as that tributary to Chambersburg, but with a fine spirit of enterprise it has issued $1,000,000 in bonds for the purpose of building good highways. Already about a third of that amount has 'been spent with results that are reported as being most satisfactory in increasing farm values and stimulating improvements. Two main types > of road are constructed, concrete and top-soil. The concrete roads are those which constitute the immediate * approaches to the city of Greenville, the county seat. They extend out into the country in every direction for about six miles. Thence the topsoil road, one surfaced with the gray earth which is found almost everywhere in that part of the State, is to be used throughout the county on the ipain highways. Properly lo cated and drained, it is claimed that this type of road improves with use and can be repaired more economically than any other type. An interesting fact about this n "aan irilla /TmntV had WOr& IS luai 'Uiccutihv no trouble in finding buyers for its $1,000,000 bond issue. Tblirty years ago it is described as having been a poverty-stricken, illiterate region, where schools'were few and crimes of all kinds flourished. Then cotton mills were introduced and the progressive spirit aroused which led finally to the demand for good roads. There seems to be a les3on here for some of our Pennsylvania counties. They have plenty of money, but they too often tolerate vile roads, frequently obstructed by toll gates. Probably'i many of their people regard South Carolina as an unprogressive State. Greenville county should show them that they can learn much Worn a district they never heard of before.?Philadelphia Record. Mr. Wilson's Latest Innovation. The country has become so used to President Wilson's delightful way of discarding wornout precedents that his newest innovation almost escaped comment. When, at the beginning of his administration, he re. turned to the simple, democratic custom of the fathers and appeared before congress to deliver his first mes - sag8 in person, rue pwyie wmw about it for days and days. Now that he has unostentatiously cut the junk out of the president's annual message on the state of the union, we hardly realize what a remarkable thing he has done. The conventional message was cluttered up with a mass of detail information that obscured its important recommendations. President Wilson very wisely contents himself with giving a concise, comprehensive outline of the important things to be done. He notifies his auditors that all detail information necessary to their work will be supplied them later in supplementary reports prepared by the proper officials. The result is a clear, short statement, over ? * ? - - j wmcn noDoay noas ana wnicn eveivbody grasps. A business-like thing is done in a business-like way. It is only the man certain of himself and certain of what he ought to do who dares innovations. Precedent and convention are the anchors of .the timid and unsure.?St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Powerful forces, both sinister and benign, are lining up in New York, for the case of Billy Sunday versus Broadway, Wall Street, Bohemia, et al., which goes to trial April 1. What sort of reception Sunday and his old time shouting .Methodist camp meeting style will get^in the world's gayest, richest, wickedest, most material city, is the subject of much speculation among the residents. He will be the biggest at traction tl^e Old Town has seen for years; and it is predicted that great mobs will literally fight to get near his giant tabernacle. It will be a battle royal; and preparations are being made accordingly. Billy and Broadway have been sparring for position for several years; and now at last the evangelist is coming to fight the devil in his own home town, r Broadway, as Broadway, seems to have paid little heed to Sunday's plans. But scratch the surface and you find that what Cyclone Davis calls The Boys of Booze and Boodle are jiot asleep. Organizing Now. The belligerent Billy, though busy with Boston is watching carefully every move in his preliminary campaign here. Already a small army of Sundayites are organizing the Big Town. On January 14 th a brigade of the evangelist's most remarKaDie trail hitters from every city he has invaded, wfll march on the metropolis and take it by storm. This is one of many of the preliminaries calculated to create atmosphere for Billy's coming. "Billy Sunday, Incorporated," with John D. Rockefeller, Jr., as one of the principal stockholders is officially in existence in New York city. Plans for the erection of the mammoth tabernacle, the great pine and sawdust temple for the spiritually unwashed, are well under way. Soon it will rear its rough hewn dome above the upper Manhattan hinterland of that great and gay white way whose gleaming searchlights evei beckon the pleasurelorn from the far four corners of the earth. Committeemen and women have divided the city into sections and the population into classes for organization on a house to house and man to man basis. Mrs. William Asher, for instance, has charge bf all work among New York scrubwomen, domestics, factory girls and hospital nurses. No one has been neglected. Bible meetings and song services will be held daily on the New York curb and at the portals of the New York stock exchange. Wall street will be comb ed for the spiritually unwashed. That work is even now under way. Chance of Lifetime. Unquestionably, Sunday faces the chance of a lifetime in New York. Here will be Broadway, Citadel of Champagne and home of The Sinful Supper; Wall street, whose hall mark is Midas shearing a Lamb; Bohemia with its loose leaf ledger weddings, its lavender souls and sun god cults; the Slums, steeped in squalor and degradation from which uptown respectability distills pure gold; the home of the gunman with his regular scale of murder prices and of the painted lady who drives her limousine and reckons her income in six figures. All these and more are here for Sunday to deal with. Homer Rodeheaver, Sunday's choir director, expects to organize a double choir of 8,000 to 10,000 voices. George C. Dowie will lead the prize trail hitters from Philadelphia and elsewhere^, some of them having been converted . seven years ago. These will be used to prove that Sunday conversions are not "flash in thepan" work. , Nothing is being left undone to pave the way for Sunday's triumph-n<*><-> ! > nnn "NTon.* Vnrk n nr. on ant auT auvv uyvu *^w?? * v* f 7 ? the other hand, is anything left undone to circumvent his efforts. SENSE OF DIRECTION. How Do Birds Know Where They Are? Prof. K. S. Lashley has completed an investigation of the sense of direction in birds. This is called the problem of "orientation." To "orient" means in straight English to know where you are. Dr. Ashley used the wild birds of the Florida keys, known as noddy and sooty terns, in experiments. In their recognition of their nests, it was found that their eyes as well as their muscles are concerned, says the Popular Science Monthly for January. The birds showed no evidence of any special sense of locality such as a "magnetic, sense" or a "second i sight." Birds are no more "mind readers" than men are. Xor do they have any ability to retrace their paths of flight by memory. They recognize their nests and their own young by muscle habits and eyesight.
