willingly counted every one of them.

pulloct in at MbaTleston going norlb,
an excited follow approached Johnny
Pates and began to remind bim of tbe
(panellation whlnh they had. and said
that among tbe coppens there yas a
ten dollar gold pioce, or at least it
should have been, as be bad lost one.
Johnny told him that he was right,
that when he got home that night be
found a ten dollar gold piece among
the other money which he could not
account for, and gave man two five
dollar bills, whiob vouches for Johnny

The Clark & Baldwin Manufacturing
Company last Thursday sold the site
and buildings of tbe Baldwin hub fao
tory to the American Screen Door
Company. An addition will be built
to tbe Clark hub factory and the ma
chinery in the Baldwin hnb factory
will be moved thereto combining the
two hub factories lo one. The Ameri
can Scroen Door Company will at once
commence the erection of a large
screon factory on their newly acquired
premises juBt south of the site of the
bub factory. Tbe buildings now on
the site will be used by the screen door
people for warehouses. The hub peo
ple expect to vacate tbe Baldwin
factory and give the screen factory
complete possession by October 1st.
By that time or earlier the now factory
will bo completed and it is expected to
work fifty hands or more making
screens.
A writer from Mann, this county, to
the Roynolds County Outlook seems
somewhat disgruntled at the result of
tho late teachers' examination in Iron
county. Here is what he says: "Our
people and teachers of Iron county are
worked up to a vory high pilch over
tho results of the late examination.
There were thirty-three who took the
June examination. Nineteen of the
number failed, only fourteen being
granted certificates. A large por cont.
of the failures wero old experienced
teachers. Some of the most success
ful teachers of the county were num
bered with the failuros. A young com
missioner may tblnk this will profit
him, be may think he will get a name,
and so ho will, but not very far up the
ladder of fame. We need older and
hotter experienced men in our County
Commissioner offices. Why not grant
tho teachers who have proven them
selves, certificates? Some of theso
teachers had made tho grade in alge
bra and literature, thinking they
would receive a second grado."
Rev. T. F. Marshall, formerly pastor
of the Presbyterian church hero, but
now of Linton, Indiana, has just closed
a big tent meeting in conneotlon with
his work there. Rev. Chester Birch
was a leading feature and his work is
greatly complimented. In speaking
of the meeting a late issue of the
Linton Heeord says: "Oae thing we
must not fail to mention; that is the
energy and enterprise exhibited by
the local minister, Thomas F. Mar
shall, who had charge of tho manage
ment of tbe meetings throughout.
He is an able young man, vigorous,
active and effoctive in whatever he at
tempts. His presence in body and
soul was in every meeting. Between
meetings he was as busy as when in
the services, hustling around In some
way to make the meanings better. He
is very popular, especially among the
members of biB congregation, where
his worthy efforts are continuously
being manifested. All who had the
pleasure of attending the meetings
feel thankful to Mr. Marshall for hlB
untiring efforts in the worthy cauBe.
If such services were carried on all
the time it would be a good thing for
Linton."
In another column I reproduce an
article from the Emporia Gazette.
While I do not approve of some of tbe
terms used and tblnk bis criticism at
times unduly severe, yet the trend of
the article is in the right direction.
An item in this paper two weekB ngo,
written in the kindliest spirit, and be
cause of tho knowledge I have of the
dangers that beset the weaker sex of
tender age, has aroused some untoward
comment; yet I have seen some things,
and heard of some others, which more
than justify the warning then given.
Is it righ't that girls in their early
teens should unattended visit the Rifle
Ran go at evening and call for this or
that soldier? Is it the correct thing
for them to be buggy-riding through
the Valley with strangers at eleven,
twelve and one o'clock at night. And if
It is right, why do the girls get out of
the rigs at tbe outskirts of town and
walk unattended homo? Is this not
done to deceive their parentB? As
sure as they are girls, their greatest
danger comes with their practicing
deception with their mothers! Can
they with impunity seek association
with strangers and callow youths and
play the hoydenP I warn their par
ents that worse may come of it If
greater care be not exercised. If
these little Misses could hear the re
marks made about them in their ab
sence by some of those same men it
might make them more circumspect;
certainly It would beget more vigilance
on the part of their parent?, who ought
to be likewise tholr guardians.
Can some one Jell us when and
where originated the fashion for wo
men and girls to go on the stroot with
out a covering for the head? We may
well be thankful that the women in
America do not have to be shrouded
in a thick, heavy veil, with only the
eyes visible, as do the 1 women in
Turkey and India. Nor do they have
to stay indoors all day, and only have
a walk on the street at night after all
their lloe lords are in bed asleep, as
In some eastern countries. , Nor do
our women have to wear a bonnet as
large as an umbrella or carriage top,
as la Corea. But our American inde
pendence seems to have lod the modern
woman to the other extreme, to ap
pear on the street, in glaring sun
shine, harqheaded. Some years ago a
foar of spoiling a fair oomploxlon led
girls to wear a sunbonnot or large bat
and often a veil. It is not to be re
gretted that gtrls are no longer afraid
of the sun, wqose top waj-.ca r.&ys will
tan or bring out annoying freokles,
but it is not ladylike or an indication
of true womanly character to go on
the streets with head uncovered. How
many of the girls who do this wpqld
like tbolp gent.lpmaq ecor,t to go with
out a hatS If our girls onty realized
bow much prettier even a pretty face
is half hid by a dainty white sun
bonrjotor straw hat, they sorely would,
nqt forpgq this part of their proper
dress. As for comfort! what comfort
can there be with tbe head oxposed to
the glaring sun? (One is tempted, to.
tblnk the filrlu bareheaded on a hot
July day haven't much brains, for a
i sensible person wants hla head cool If
he expects to use his thinking appar
atus. May tbe day be not far distant
when this senseless, unladylike fashion
shall no longer be seen in our fair
valley! F. S.
Arthur Mann, who has been con
fined in jail here sinoe March for bur
glarizing the post-office at Piedmont
last winter, escaped from jail last
Thursday evening. It was about 8:30
o'clock and Sheriff Polk was locking
tbe prisoners in their cells. Ai Is tbe
usual custom Sheriff Polk had bis little
boy lock tbe outer door as the Sheriff
went into tbe jail. While Mr. Polk
was locking the cells Mann cams to
the door and asked the boy to give
him tbe key. The little fellow did so,
Mann unlocked the door, let blmBelf
out and then turned the key on the
sheriff again. Mann then made for
the front door of the jail residence
wblch was also locked, lie made
several attempts to open it but was not
successful and tbe noise attracted Mrs.
Polk who came and grabbed him by tbe
coat. She endeavored to give an
alarm but before anyone could get to
the scone tbe prisoner made bis etcape
by breaking the glass and getting
through a window. In a short time
the sheriff was liberated from the jail
and he immediately started in pursuit
of the fugitive. Tbe officer was satis
fied that Mann would attempt to get
away on some train and he, with some
assistance, patroled the railroad from
Ironton to Tip Top to see that ho did
not board any of the passing trains.
Up to 11:30 o'clock Mann succeeded in
eluding bis pursuers. About that
time No. 5, one of the south-bound
passenger trains, stoppod at Arcadia
for a pusher. The sheriff boarded tbe
train to go to Tip Top. As they
reached the Hinchoy place the Sheriff
discovered Mann coming through a
field evidently intending to board the
train. They were going a pretty good
rate but the sheriff dropped from the
train, threw his gun into Mann's face
and brought him back to jail where he
is doomed to languish for many
months.
"Let not him boast that puttoth on
his armor as be that taketh it off,"
and "a still tongue makes a wise
head," are two familiar quotations.
The truth concreted in them is often
evident, but nover wad it made moro
manifest than In a little occurrence
last Saturday evening after the sun
had disappeared and the heat of the
day was abating. Gus started to tbe
barbor-shop, hoping to be "next!"
when he got there. A block ahead of
bim tho station agent and his wife
wore sauntering in tho same direction.
Ben, the colored "shiner" of tho barber-shop,
homeward bound, met Gus.
"Anybody In the shop?" inquired the
latter. "Nobody, Bah, 'ceptin' the
barber; but 1 think the depot- man
yande' is goin' thero now." This was
hint enough, and Gus quickened his
walk, hoping to pass the man in front
of him, but the distance to the ton
Borlal establishment was rapidly
lessening, and tho walk grew Into a
trot. As Gus is usually sedate and
leisurely in his movement, all the peo
ple on the street gazed in wonder, but
he only ran the faster, and when the
shop was still half a block away be
pasaed his unconscious competitor.
All would have been well if the
sprinter bad observed the second of
tho foregoing maxims; but as he
ruBhed by he turnod in triumph and
cried out, in response to tbe inquiring
look of tbe agent, "I wanted to beat
you to the barber-ehop that's all!"
"Did you?" said tho agent, hlB war
paint on in an instant "I'll see about
it!" and, being young and of light
sprinter weight, and fresh to tbe race,
lit out and fairly beat him to the goal.
"Well," said Gus, as ho sat waiting
his turn, and endeavoring to rocover
his breath, "I would do bettor if I
knew how to keep my mouth shut!"
And bo would we all, Gus; io would
we all. I

A crop of gadding girls has coma on,
and we hope that no ona'ti uodestv
will he ob,qc,kfta ly saying that theso
little hussies ought to be spanked good
and red. They are between 14 and 17
years old and just so everlastingly b.oy-
struok that they can't tt 1'helr
rtothews know nothing of the situation.
They think that their little girls are
so sweet and pure that nothing can
harm them. Tho truth is that these
children are trade out of the same
kind of mud that we all are made of,
and they are just ai liable to tempta
tion as older people and a thousand
times lees experienced. And their
mothers let them gad the streets and
flirt with all kinds of men, and then
their mothers wonder how tbe devil
got them and think the girls must
"take after" tbelr fathers. There are
just two things that will keep girls of
that age straight one Is plain olotbes
and tho other is borne duties. A
simple, pure-hearted girl has a place
in a home, home work and borne
dutljs, has ber heart there and no
hoy can steal it. Only when maturity
comes and a real man comes, and a
real affair of ths heart comes will
such a girl leave home, and then only
after heart-aches and heart-rending.
But the girl whose place in tbe home
is at the table and in bed, won't love
that home. Work makes thing;
sacred. Tbe child whoso home mem
ories are not hallowed by work, who
is not needed and does not need, will
not love home. And if she doos not
love the home of ber girlhood, she
will love no other. Tbe mothers of
this town who are responsible for tholr
girls who gad the streets, should stop
and tblnk what they are doing. Those
girls are no longer children. They
are at the Impresslonablo age.

after which O. L. Mungor, of Carter

is a logical and eloquent speaker, and
those who heard him were well pleased
with his address. He said in part
that liberty had not its origin with the
Declaration of Independence; that it
was this innato principle that caused
tho Pilgrim3, in 1(120, to cross the
Atlantic and como to the eastern coast
of North America; that tho Declara
tion and the Constitution stimulated
and accelerated this principle ol
liberty, and such is true. There was
some little scrapping in tho afternoon
and a few wore somewhat hilarious,
but as usual in such cases peoplo gave
but little attention to their conduct.
