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

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

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

MOVING OX GOTHAM.
Billy Sunday is Preparing a Great
Campaign.
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<*><->

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.

A Card to Owners
of Rural Telephone Lines
We are anxious to see that all lines owned bf
other parties and connected with us are kept in such7 " ??!
J j :
condition as to furnish efficient service. Where the > \
owners of rural lines are responsible for their upkeep, ^
we want to co-operate with them. 7
All lines require a thorough overeauling occa- ^Jf
lionally if the best service is to be obtained. We
recommend that 6very line connected with us be /fM
overhauled at least once a year, and that at least one v? f|
experienced telephone man assist in this work. The ,jf|j
cost of this work when divided among all the patrons /
of the line, makes the amount paid by each man
small, and this cost will be more than offset by the
improved service.
If the owners of rural telephone lines in this sec- 3l|l
don are experiencing trouble with their service, we
will appreciate their talking the matter over with our
Manager or writing us fully. We will gladly do *
what we can toward helping you improve the coniition
of your line. ' ;|9
