HOW PAPBR 18 MMiVFAi With Aid of h Paper Mill Oi of Wood Informs 3.G00 P( Kvery person who buys a 2 newspaper for two Cents cuts o, the forests of tho United State Canada a block of wood two inc high, three inches wide a?id fo inches long. With the help of J paper mill a cord of wood informs 3,600 people of the day's news. "To convert that cord and millions more into nowsprint man has created a huge mechanical silkworm which munches its way through piles of kpruce and balsam logs instead of mulberry leaves, digests with chemi cals instead of secretions, stores its products in concrete tanks instead of thin-walled sacks, and spins its white thread, which is twelve and a half ?4feet Avide, with a copper tongue In stead of delicate membrane," says a bulletin of the National Geographic society from its headquarters at Washington, I). C. "One, plant produces in a single day sufficient paper to supply one 24 page paper apiece to about l,fl<}0,000 subscribers. A single day's output of this mill, unrolled on the country side, would cover a 1,400 acre ranch# "Rivers are the maidservants of tho mechnical caterpillars that spin pa per. They serve in three ways; as power and transportation and they supply water for pulp. Some modern wills use electricity exclusively. On the St. Maurice rivers broad back are carried annually logs enough to make a rift four feet wide, four feet high and nearly 200 miles long, or nearly two-thirds of the river's total length, all to supply one mill's maw.! At the river's edge* are located water pumps that would meet the needs ol a city the size of Baltimore or Bos- j ton. The electric power from Shaw1 inigan Falls, used by this one mill would fill the daily requirement * "I Atlanta, (!a., or Omaha, Neb. "Colossal machinery, capable oi grasping the river's might, looms within the modern 'newsprint' mill. From great piles of pulp wood, clear of bark and cut to'four-foot lengt h >; automatic conveyors bring logs to the grinding room. The principle of this room's tusk is simple?it is that of a ?pencil pushed with its long side against a whirling grindstone. BuV , the grindstone of a paper mill looks like the wheel of a terrible jugger naut; it is solid sandstone five feet in diameter and nearly as broad on the face. Such stones aie generally hitch ed in pairs on an axle whose cross, section is as big as a large pie plate. Batteries .of huge,, whirling electric motors drive the great, stones.

As the screen moves swift ly along water falls through and is also pulled through by vacuum cham bers, "Under one's eyes a stream of broth running three times as fa'st as a man can walk changes to a wet sheet of pulp. This sheet swings across a gap, leaving the wire to land on a wool blanket which, fol lowed by cotton blankets, will carry it 200 feet to the other end of the room. On the way the ?blankets carry it between huge rolls that press out more water and wind it about 44 super-heated drums as big around as hogsheads, which rob the paper of still more water. After running it nearly 500 feet, in and about, all in 45 seconds, the garantuan machine eb-Kpflflr ~as vla:sul-'yaf. u up pup delivers the twelve and a half foot sheet air dry to the calenders. This set of polished steel rolls puts or* a finish. "The starting of a paper machine holds all the thrills of those weil known dramas of industry.

Now the pulp river is falling on the wire belt, but it gi'c." on around and drops into a pit below. "Near the 'dropping off' end of the wire belt a mounted compressed air nozv.le slits the twelve and a half foot sheet of wet pulp four inches from tlit* edge. 'Watch thifUi' a guide shouts above the din. Now the felt blanket, rollers and drums start. Both blanket and seren belts are running at 1,000 feet per minute, with a six' null gap between.

Cobb yes terday morning and waa bound over to superior court under $1,000 justi fied bond. He was represented by J. Clyde Stancill. V. V. Fesperman, chief of the rural police, and Kural Officer J. S. Wal lace, who made the arrest near Fifth and Poplar streets Friday night, were present to offer testimony in tho event of a hearing, but the waiver taken by the defense made this un necessary. The 50 gallons of whiskey and the Ford coupe captured with the de fehdant were held in custody of the rural police pending superior court next week, when the D'ewese case is scheduled to come up for trial. The arrest of Policeman Deweae and the seizure of his car and the great quantity of liquor was the talk of Charlotte yesterday.

Smith, mayor of the city of Union, has sent out a number of letters to the women citizens of Union asking them to serve on the juries in the mayor's court. Mayor Smith has been, waging war on the blind tigers and lawbreakers in Un ion. Many whiskey cases have been heard in his court recently. This is believed to be the first attempt in Soufh Carolina to secure-the service of ladies on juries of the mayor's court. The letter sent out to the wo men citizens reads ,as follows: "My Fellow Citizen: I believe that a vast majority of the women want the laws enforced. The laws cannot be en forced unless the juries want them enforced. You have shown your de sire to make this a better city by registering to'vote. You can enlarge your servits#?by giving your consent to serve on the juries.- If we can have 50 per cent of our juries women, it will greatly raise the moral stand ard of the average jury and enable the city authorities to run out the boot loggers, vagrants, etc. The sta tutes of South Carolina exempt you from jury service, but the supreme court has held that said exemption ir a perxuaal privilege and does not disqualify you.

Completed for Iamunce Home Time This Month Washington, Jan, 2.?The express* ed determination of tho commanding officer of ^he Grand Army of the Republic that a bill enacted last spring authorizing the production of ?coins bearing the faces of heroes of the Confederacy would be reconsid ered and defeated, will result in failure, it is indicated today. It is apparent that it will not be necessary for southerners to insti tute a filibuster to the end that that which was done shall not be undone. . Senator Walter F. George, of Georgia, was informed today by the director of the mint that the dies have been completed and "work of the actual coinage begun." It is anticipated that the coins will bo issued this month. The bill was introduced last March by Senator Smoot,, of Utah, and had the ardent support of all Democrats. After its passage, the G. A. K. contended that tho produc tion of government money bearing the faces of Generals Lee and Jafck son, "who tried to destroy the gov ernment," would be "little short of treason." It is indicated, however, that the plan to have the measure reconsidered could not be successful prior to the completion of the coin age; The work will commemorate the Stone Mountain monument to the South and its heroes. The coins, on the reverse side, will bear a likeness of the late President Harding. Seventy-nine passengers and seven ty-three members of the crew of the Japanese ship Ginyo Maru, were taken on hoard the American ship .Julia Lurkenbach, Tuesday morning off the cT>a'st of Mexico near Acap ult-Oj after part of the rescued had been tossed around in small boats for several hours after leaving the ship on account of fire. Killed While Out Hunting Charlie Dove, thirteen-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Jim Dove, of the Bethlehem church section, west of Blackstock, was almost instantly kill ed by the-accidental discharge of his gun while out hunting Friday. It scorns that young- Dove had shot a rabbit, and was pulling his gun after him while getting through a wire fence, when the weapon was discharg ed, the entire load of shot taking effect iri the unfortunate youth's side. His father and Belton Shirley were along, but could do nothing, as young Dove merely gapped once or twice, and was dead.iT-Chester Reporter.

She took it down in shorthand with appan nt ease and grace, Thought I: "At last I have a girl worth keeping round the place," Then said: "Now write it out, you needn't hurry." She took a fresh supply of gum and answered: "I should worry." The Remington she tackled, now and then she struck a key. And after thirty minutes this is what she handed me: Deer sir.

THE GLAND THAT CAUSES MEN TO GET UP AT NIGHf The -gland that causes getting up at night is known as the prostate and is a notorious trouble makei. It is estimated that 65 out of every 100 men past 40, and many under that age, have prostate trouble, which, if unchecked, often ^Seads to a serious operation. The prostate surrounds the neck of the bladder like a washer. Naturally, when the bladder becomes inflamed by poisons .which the kidneys filter out of the blood, the irritation spreads to the prostate. As the gland swells, it closes the neck of the bladder, mak ing urination difficult and painful and causing pains in the back, head and legs. * An easy way to treat these annov L?g and dangerous conditions is to \ake one or two renex pills after each meal. The renex formula has been victorious in thousands of such cases. One authority says it also has a valuable tonic effe.ct.
