Springs, 73, widely known Charlotte
man, brother of the late Colonel Leroy
Springs, who died at his home
301 Queens road, Myers Park, after
having been in declining health for
about four years were conducted on
Saturday afternoon at"3:30 o'clock
at the home. Dr. Albert Sidney
Johnson, pastor of the First Presbyterian
church, officiating. Burial was
in Elmwood cemetery.
A splendid way to bring some of
that hoarded money out of its hiding
places and turn it* into the channels
of trade is to put on a lfttle fix-up
campaign, including overhauling of
the premises and the repair or renovation
of broken articles. Those who
do this sort of work would probably
be glad to make special prices,' also
those who' have supplies to sell. A
concerted move, with -a little advertising
to help it along, might start
something worth-while.?^Chester Reporter,

. On The Scaffold
(By Or. R. H. Bennett, President
of Lander College, Greenwood).
It was a hanging scene. Xhe &vn* j
tence of the court was being carried
out. The sheriff and his men stood
about the culprit. The rope was
round his neck, the black cap about
to be drawn over hia face, when the
fire bell rang, "Hurry up! Spring
the trap!" said one. "No," said the
sheriff. "Let's ^ do things decently
and in order, He can't. get away.
He is tied. Let's leave him here, go
and put out the fire, and come back
and finish this thing. They left.
Pretty soon another colored gentleman
came along, looked up at the
man on the scaffold and said, "Hi,
what you doin' up dar?" "I wukkin'
for one o' dese here movin' pitcher
companies." "Whar de folks?" "Dey
gone to put out de fiar." "Ho?w you
like your job?" "Just fine. Nebber
had one I like better. Don't hub
nothin' to do but come out and hab
my pitcher taken, den go back tp the
hotel and eat a bid# dinner and
smoke my seegar." "Umph!" "Yassir,
dis is sure a easy job. Dey ain't
but one ting 'bout it dat L don't like.
All dis here high libben and eatin'
turkey ebrey day upset my stummick.
I been thinkin' some o' dese
times I'd quit and settle down. I got
me a little house, and I goin' git me
a cow and somp chickens and jest
stay at home wid my old 'oman. De
only thing, I don't like to leab dese
folks widout noboddy. Ef 1 could1
jest find a man I like, I might gib
him my job and go home." "Umph,
how'd I do?" "Well, I don' know
nothin' 'bout you. But I like your
looks pretty well. I don't care. I believe
I just soon gib you dis job."
"What I gwine do?" "Come up here
and ontie me and I tie you in my
place. And den -atter while de men
come back and take your pitcher
and you go back to de hotel and cat
yo' dinner and res' till tomorrow."
"All right." "All right. Come on up
and ontie me."
The exchange was made and the
freed gentleman . shot out for the
woods. The sheriff ana deputies
came back. They did net notice the
substitution. "Spring the trap." As
it happened a man came up just
then with a moving picture camrea.
"Wait," he said, 'Met hie get a picthen
with a moving picture camera.
The trap was sprung. The victim
was so heavy the rope broke, after
nearly jerking his head off. He
picked himself up rubbed his neck
and said in a voice of reproach,
"You all playe too rough for me.
Fust thing you know, you gwine hurt
somebody."
The preacher was holding an experience
meeting. He asked for testimonies.
"Brethren, tell us what
great things the Lord has done for
you. Bro. Simpson this is the first
time you have been out since yoyr
sickness. We are glad you are well
enough to be out. You speak first."
Bro. Simpson had had a stroke of
paralysis. He got up with his leg
dragging and his arm dangling and
his face pulled round to one side.
"Bro. Simpson, teH us what the Lord
has done for you." "Well brother,"
he said, "he's jest nigh about ruined
me." - '

night by introducing a jesolutior
calling for a legislative investigation

administration of Governor Franklin

was strictly a party one and

Three Girls Burn;
Parents Helpless
?Bar Harbor, Me., Feb. 14.?Three
girls, the daughters of Mr. and Mrs.
Julian Tracy, were burned to death
today in a fire which destroyed the
Tracy home at West Edena, a few
miles from here. The dedd: -Caroline,
13; Mary, 11; and Gladys, 7.
Two other children, Marcia, 16, and
Julian, 6, were dragged from the
blazing building by Lloyd Norwood,
a neighbor.
The fire sarted in an explosion of.
fat which Mrs. Tracy was heating on
the stove in preparation for frying
doughnuts. Flaming liquid spattered
all over the small kitchen, starting
fires on every side.
The father of the family who was
sawing wood with Norwood outside
the two-room home, dashed into the
kitchen and helped , his wife through
the flames, while Norwood, crawling
on his hands and knees, rescued
Marcia and Julian from the inner
room.
The other three girls frightened
by the explosion, fled to an unfinished
upper part of the structure,
^rom which it was impossible to rescue
them.
The frantic parents stood helplessly
outside the building, within -sound
of the wailing of their trapped children,
as the fire, swept by a high
wind, consumed the tar paper covered
shack.
Firemen arrived too late to be of
assistance. The building burned to
the ground in 20 minutes.

"It's Lucky
We Kept our Telephone" .
i . Said Jim aa he hung up the receiver, "or I'd still
be out of a job. Just had a call to report for work in
the morning."
The other side of the picture: a contractor needed
men in a hurry . . . "get them by telephone?it's the
easiest and quickest way" . . . the natural ordec from
j a modern business man with no time to hunt those
out of reach.
With a telephone in your home you are always ? "
within instant reach . . . The cost is small. So little,
in fact, that it doesn't pay to try to do without it.
