They were quests of ?'rvin Jones, at his country home one r ile from Cool Springs. The drive throe :h the country was made without an;, special incident and groat' sport was 'ound in shooting birds along the \v: y. The hunt< rs came to their destination about S o'clock in the evening1 ami found a hot supper awaiting, which was most a, pothing to all after a drive of more than twenty miles, and each did ample justice to the meal. The town boys, tired out, retired soon, but little did they sleep the first night, for t! e hooting of the owls and the unusual 30unds of the country life. Gee! How tho noiso would rinc out in the open districts of the swamps nearby. Fox and other game is nearly as l plentiful as birds in that section and two of the young Mullins boys declare they saw a large red fox approach in the open held near the house on Saturday. During Friday and Saturday the boys roamed over the large plantation lying between Cool Springs and Aynor so abundantly productive and rich in resources. Cotton and tobacco has beeti the principal crops until this year and the acreage of tobacco especially us being cut. Wheat is in the ground where it has never been knowr be fore. One of the boys who went over or the trip last week contracted to at tend a one horse farm for the family where he stopped. He is now follow ing the plow daily and expects t< make a bumper crop on 25 acres thi season. He will not return to Mullins * "Rex" a valuable bird do# belong ing to one of the hunters, was takei sick suddenly on Friday. The younj men began to wonder how the bird could be found without his assistanc the next day. Saturday's huntin was good notwithstanding the fac I that the dog was feeble, and man I were the birds killed. I Monday when the return trip wa I made the faithful old bird dog agai I showed signs of sickness and the ton B? miles to Ay nor was driven qufakl I for :i physician's advice.

She was certainly a ( bright little girl and carried sunshine ] whereever she went. Not only will the family miss her bright little face but the community also. She made friends with all whom she met, but her time had come for the Lord knew best?for the Lord gave, he took her He doeth all things well. We hope to meet her in heaven in the sweet bye and bye. For her bright face and cheerful disposition have lighted all our paths. Though her stay here was . short, not quite six years of age, Oe, neva was born May 31st, 1909, and 5 died March 10th, 1915. Her body was ; laid to rest the following day at the . Thompson cemetery in the presence ; of a large number of sorrowing 1 friends and relatives, Rev. H. B.

AM later part of the Cretaceous and the early part of the Eocene chapters? perhaps b to 10 million years ago. A report recently issued by the Geological Survey as Professional Paper 90-J, entitled "The Cretaceous-Eocene Concact in the Atlantic and Gulf Costal Main," by L. W. Stephenson- discusses this missng part of the record and >hows that the break must cover a rery long perod of time. It is known .hat at that time the continents were it least as large as and probably larger than they are now, and the oceans ,vere accordingly smaller. Any rocks hat. were then formed in the sea seem o have been weathered and washed iway. Hundreds of kind of plants ar,.d aninals that lived before and hundreds iftcr this great period are known, hut iot one which lived during the period. Strange to say, few if any of the species which existed before the unknown period lived through it. It is like a play in which the places of one act remain the same as in the preceding but the characters are all new, and yet many of the new players resemble the old ones so much that one is compelled to admit that they are close relatives. In each of the States bordering the Atlantic Ocean, sou'h of New York, and the Gulf of Mexico, arc layers of rock which were formed before and after the period whose record is missing. In these layers arc entombed sea shells of many kinds but apparently not one spcies liver through from Creatceous to Eocene time.

Express companies and railroads lines are as much concerned over the proper construction of the law as over the question of validity. Liquor dealers throughout the country have gone into the court to compel carriers to ac cept shipments of "personal use" into dry territory. In Kentucky, the courts adopted the ! "wet" construction and an express | company forseeing an alleged nccesj sity of employing a big force of in! .spectors and detectives to ferret out the purpose of each shipment appealed to the supreme court.

Taylorsville, 111.?First with amaze ment, almost increduity, and finally with alarm, citizens of Taylorsville yesterday morning gazed at a billboard on a side street of this city, which bore a whiskey advertisement. It was almost too much to believe! 5 Here was an open violation of the local dramshop ordinance which, on account of its being probably the most ' drastic measure of its kind ever passj ed by a city council, has attracted attention all over the country. The ordinance expressly forbids th e sale, drinking, smell, sigh, possission or pictures of anything that in any way r might be call ed or enjoyed as spirit1 uous liquor. It has a section which expressly states that no signs or advertisements which might create a desire for liquor shall be allowed with in the city limits. Under this section - falls the billboard advertisement?for it was a particularly attractive piece - of work, plainly stating that the whta. - key mentioned was one "without a - "headache"?and obviously that is e some inticement. So the city authorf ities hauled out their legal artillery r and directed its fire upon M. J. Hogan head of the Hogan Posting Service? i- and Mr. Hogan has intimated that i- they may blaze away and he'll be i- VQady with some of the gun (ire him[ self when the judge calls the case to I- trial. The penalty provided by the o city ordinance for the offense is a e fine of from $5 to $100. Mr. Hogan y'will fight the case to a finish. Under I fK iiir Tmsm ms lywgg i wa ILi IL ^61 ?

President Wilson has undoubtedly displayed wonderful judgment all the while. His attitude in the matter has attracted world-wide attention.
