Interes! in track work lias been growing slowly during the past dec ade. Ten years ago track meets were uncommon and wehere held only at the largor inst il ut ions. Now every college of any sl/.o has a track ti ?un, and the secondary schools of tho state aro doing very creditable work in this branch of sport. Track work stands out pre-emi nently as individualistic, lu all other bra min's of sport team work and team play stand for more than individual ability, in track the In dividual stars, and nn mau of bril liant achievements is handicapped by mediocre support, nor can poor mate rial be bolstered up hy the work of a few good players. Il ls the oldest of all forms ol" sport, all Its branches being a spontaneous expression of some form of bodily activity. The first track meets recorded lu history wore those held In ('?reece, many hundred years before Christ, nuder thc name of Olympian games. The earlies) victor on record ls a Mr. Coroebus, who won a foot race in 77C B. C. In those early games comp?tition was open only to the Creeks and the events consisted of long and short runs, boxing, wrest ling ami throwing the discus. In 1895 these old games were revived, made international and a meet held Aere uncommon, and were held in tho old stadium in Greece In lSHtJ. in 1904 ::i St. Louis, and in 1908 In Lon do i. ,n all these meets Ameri can at ?.,?tes have taken a prominent part, usually winning a majority of the track and field events.

Many people who are baseball Ians and foot hail enthusiasts have novcr had .m opportunity to see this most exciting of all sports. A knowledge of thc game is essential for real en joyment of lull games, but any one with no previous athletic experience can enjoy a rac .. This Is an unusual Opportunity to see tho strongest col leges of tho South vying with each other lo seo Southern records go to smash and world records tremble. Dropped Division o? Diocese.

Emma Wuldrop, Now in Jail, Admits Murdered Child was Hoi's. (Greenville News, May 6.) Admitting that the white Infant found dead last Sunday morning on a hillside on Bushy Creek, a mlle south of the league hall park, was hers, Emma Waldrop, the white wo man held in connection with the supposed murder of the baby, gave a sensational Interview to a News reporter yesterday. Yesterday morning the woman talked to the coroner and the sheriff, admitting that the dead Infant was hers, and that she gave; hirth to it In the home of Bill Brown, a negro, who ls now In jail charged with be ing connected with the child's death. Her story dates back to the treach ery of a man who pretended that he loved her, but after the stigma of disgrace had clutched her character he slipped away, leaving her de serted. She admitted that she gave hirth to the child, and that Brown, the negro, took the Infant away. She said tho child was alive, and that Brown wrapped it up in a brown underskirt of the white woman that used to live, with him, and was known as his wife. The dead infant was found lu a hole, covered over with dirt and trash. lt was bloody and the skull was mashed, showing that violence wa; used to end the life of the little unfortunate. The woman stoutly denies having taken part in the death of the child, and lt is very evident that the child w?.s murdered, for she declares that it was living when she gave birth to I it, and that it was still living when Brown wrapped it tip in an under skirt and carried lt away. Both the woman and the negro man will be indicted for murder be fore the grand jury either Ibis week 01 next. TOGAS BOUGHT HY WHOLKSALE. Kif ty I'd" Cent of Seats in U. S.

The ground was covered with hail three to four Inches thick. In places it washed up in piles th reo feet deep. Corn, colton and small grain are completely ruined. Damage to build ings is not so great; some water tanks and some outbuildings were blown down and completely wrecked. A great many chickens, pigs, etc., were killed.

Ono of the vory latest Industries to he electrltlod ls tho making of paper. Tho process of making paper demands a steady and reliable source ot' power and electricity has been lound hy actual test to he Ideal for I his delicate work. The making of paper ls one of the oldest industries In tho world-older than history itself. Although the word paper ls derived from "papy rus," the beginning of the paper in dustry can he traced hack to ancient Chinese history thousands of years ago. Even the half-ctvillzed Central American Indian?, the Aztecs and Incas, knew the art of making paper. William Rittenhouse built the first paper mill in America, near Philadel phia, in 1 OOO. The first paper mill in New Kngland was erected in 17 28. Previous to the year 1798 all paper making was done hy hand, hut that year a Frenchman patented a device to make paper In an endless web. This paton! was not put into practi cal use until further developed in langland hy the Fou rd ii nier Hrothers, who were the real founders of mod ern paper making. Their early ma chinery differs only in minor details from the machinery in use to-day. What l'ancr Really ls. A shed of paper of the better grades is an artificially felted web of vogetable fibre, purified of all perish able material so that the remaining lihres aro nearly pure cellulose. The process of making it is simply collect- ! lng thc raw material, cleaning lt, ! grinding it into pulp, diluting it with water, forming a sheet and allowing ! lt to dry. The chemists tell ns that J any plant can bo used for the raw j material ol' paper, as cellulose ls the structural basis of all plants. Wood ls cheapest, so it ls generally used in j paper-making to-day. There are many different kinds of paper, such as wall paper, blotting, j writing, hook, news, wrapping, tissue, : etc., hut in general they are made by the same process, the difference being in the finishing. In a general way it may he said that the manufacture of paper from wood pulp involves ahout 28 sepa- ; rate operations, from the harvesting , of the spruce sticks to the market-1 ing of the finished product, Including the process of cleaning, harking, grinding, screening, digesting, cook ing, washing, pressing, heating, dry- . ing, calendering, eic. Pulp logs of spruce, hemlock, beech, cottonwood, etc., are cut dur ing the entire year. The logs are ; conveyed from the river or cars to tbe mill, whore they are cut in sticks two feet long and dropped into a vat of water to remove the dirt. From this vat the sticks are conveyed to the harkers, where revolving knives ' strip the bark from each stick. The wood ls reduced to a pulp In the j grinders, where each stick ls forced against a largo grindstone which re- i volves at a speed of 200 revolutions a minute, rapidly reducing the wood : (ihre to a pulpy mass. Water i. ee- j ly used in this process to soften the l wood, to wash the pulp from the : stone and keep the wood from burn ing. This pulp is .icreened to remove j splinters, hark and dirt and then | lacked off on wet machines In laps or large matted sheets Vi inch thick, j This is the usual method for storage j or shipment, as from these thick j sheets the finished product ls rolled i and finished. In the sulphite process the wood | is first chipped, then crushed to break up ali knots and splinters. ' These chips are then placed in a large vat and covered with an acid solntion, which eats awa\ everything j . nit tile cellulose, and lt is then heat ed to a high temperature hy steam. After this process the stock is screen ed and washed and finally run over the wet machines, which consist of cylinder molds covered with wire cloth placed in vats. The water is withdrawn from the Inside of the revolving cylinders, leaving the fibre in a thick, soft mass on the outer surface of the screen, from which it is removed hy a "doctor" and run into storage tanks ready for use in the paper mill. lt is in the heater room that, the finished pulp is prepared for making the numerous qualities anil colors of paper. During the processes of beat ing and mixing the color is added to produco the shade desired. Then the rosin size ls added to give the necessary non-ahsorhing qualities and sufficient alum Is put In to set the colors. After leaving this room the stock ls called "stuff" and ls run Into stuff chests. From the stuff box the pulp ls put through the Jordon en gine, which mixes lt thoroughly, and !t ls ready to bo mad?, into tho fin ished product. The paper stuff, af ter being screened again, ls run through the Fourdrlnlor paper ma chine. Reliable power service and uniform speed are essential to the satisfactory manufacture of papor, for when a *?f TPHE best recom? A vehicle can ha\ guaranty that it wi satisfactory service? It is a QA Easy Running Weil Balanced. C. W. PITCHFORD Ger 1111 > i > i : >. DANGERS. Natura Gives Timely Warnings That No Walhalla Citizen Gan Afford to Ignore.
