each could have thrown away their
nearest guesses and then would have
again tied for first place, in their
guess at the number of walnuts in the
cedar chest.
The number according to the count
made by J. E. Littlefield and George
E. McKennon was 2,463. Mr. Frier
son suessed 2,465, and Miss Allmond
guessed 2,461, each being within two
of the exact number. They each had
another guess of 2,460, these being
the next nearest gueades.
There were a large number of per

The meeting of the Board of Mayor
and Aldermen tonight promises to he
one of universal interest to the peo
ple of Columbia, as it is said that
the matter ot buying a fire motor
track will be discussed and possibly
a plan of action determined upon.
Tin fire ccn mittee of the board com
posed of W. O. Cherry, S. E. Calen

the matter with Chief Rltter thor
oughly, and these with the Maury
Motor Company, which firm is hand

details with the city authorities to a

can be bought at an expense of
$5,500.
In addition to the above attach
ments on the outfit there is an aerial
extension ladder. The present fire
fighting outfit cost $3,000 to $4,000,
and is without this essential. Be
sides the expense of maintaining the
present outfit will almost pay for an
outfit of the motor truck character,
and the latter can be purchased by
the city almost on its own terms.
The alarm of fire from the 'institute
Wednesday night was the occasion
Df some remarks from Chief Rltter
this morning, whe said that as he was
on his way up the street answering j
Ihe call he was much perturbed as to
how he would master the flames If it
should prove a fire of any proportions,
as he was without any available
means whatever, to contend with a
fire in a building of the character of
the Institute. He further said that a
building of that nature, to 'say noth
ing of the peril of life, would be at
the mercy of the flames, and that
false alarm as it was, it opened his
eyes to the absolute needs of the sit
uation The aide: men and mayor , are ery
much interested in this matter, and
the flie committee as above, accompa
nied by Warren S. Titcomb, of the
Maur7 Motor Company, and two mem
bers of the board of mayor and alder
men from Decatur, Ala., who are In
terested In the same proposition, will
leave here Sunday morning for Chi
cago, where they go at the expense of
the Maury Motor Co. to be present
at the auto truck exhibit which tikes
place thero Monday,
In this connection it begins to look
hke the present board is to be a bus
iness board. They have gone about
, the administration of the city's af-
fairs in a truly business' like way,
dound to the benefit of the city and
the advantage of the taxpayers.

PANAMA CANAL ZONE
ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR
MEN ON THE ISTHMUS, 8AY8
PAPER.
HAKES SPEECH AT SMOKER
Deals With History of Canal Coun
try and Pays Tribute to Its Great
Wealth and Sagacity of Unci
Sam.
From the Daily Star and Herald of
Fanama City Is taken the following
extract of a speech made there on
the night of January 13th by William
G. Erwin, at a Knights of Pythias
smoker. The paper says he is one
of the most popular men on the isth
mus. He had for his subject "Pan
aman. a Name With Which to Con
jure Coin, and said in part:
From that day, when Balboa, the
first of all the great Conquistadors,
-lied on Isthmian soil beneath the
headsman's axe, to the day when
FerdjJiand de Lesseps, the first of all
the great modern engineers, sailed
away from Panama, a discredited,
dishonored and financial wreck, there
seems to have been a fatality at
tached to those who have" sought and
won fame in the Isthmus of Pana
ma, his narrow neck of land which
connects North and South America,
pjid divides the Carribean from the
Sreat South Sea, has seen more
blighted, hopes, more of the greed for
gold, and more of man's inhumanity
to man than any other spot of like
size on earth. If the bones of the
rank pnd Je who have lost their lives
here during the past four-hundred
years, could be gathered together,
there would be enough to build a
beautiful, bleached boulevard across
the Isthmus from the Atlantic to the
Pacific.
During the first twenty, years of
Spanish occupation the Isthmus
changed names several times. .First
it was Castflla de Oro, or Castle of
lold, later on La Antigua, then
Darien, a few more changes and at
past In 1519, when they built the city
of tho Pacific, It settled down with
its present name. And two years lat
er it was oflicially designated by
Charles the Fourth, of Spain, as
Panama.
In he old Isthmian Indian lan
Diage the word Panama .means,
-Abounding in' Fish." The noble re
man has always been more or less of
a Delphic oracle one who wasted
no words. Hence for four centuries
the world has been left to draw Its
own conclusions as to just wht ram-
iiy of fish gave the Isthmus Its name.
This has always been a much mooted
luestion, and some of the would-be
"vise ones have been so unkind as to
claim that the word properly translat
ed means, "Abounding In suckers."
It may be that they who made this
claim were prompted by a spirit of
Jealo isy. But be that as it may,
"Panama" has always been a name
with which to conjure coin.
For three hundred years the spend
thrift kings of Spain when they ran
short of money had only to write
three words, "Panama! Dinero, Pron
to!" and a stream of glittering gold
the blood-stained wealth of rich Pe
ru would pour across the Isthmus
to fill their empty coffers. When
Morg.-n, the 'ichest of all buccaneers,
tTrew weary of his bloody gamp and
decided to crown his victorious infa
ny with one master stroke for mil
lions 'rom among all the wealthy cit
ies -of the western world he selected
Panama as his treasure house. Even
'hough he knew that it was by far
tne most inaccessible and guarded
by fle thousand men, two thousand
of whom were the flower of the Span
ish army. And twelve hundred mule
loads of gold and silver bullion, inter
minged with priceless gems and cost
ly silk and laces was the booty that
oe brought away from the ruins -of
that sacked and burning city. This
was a mighty tribute to the instinct
cf the first Morgsn entering th cir
cles of high finance.
Foi more than three hundred years
Panama gave her wealth to the,
