' -Every man who ran an autc mobile has to pay a license tax of five dollars the first year and a renewal tax of one dollar every year - thereafter while running the same car Automobiles have the same rights no more and no less than every ' other vehicle running over the public roads The party running a machine and also others parties traveling are expected to exercise due judg ment and discretion to prevent accidents. The law provides that when a vehicle is overtaken by an automobile and the driver of the car indicates a desire to pass the driver of the cart, buggy or other vehicle shall turn out and allow it to pass. Failure to do so is a misdemeanor and the party subject to a fine. Yet every person running a car overtakes people every day who drive riftht along in the middle of the road and refuse to let them pass. People meeting a machine will sit in the buggy or cart when they see the horse is afraid of it and let him turn round or back into the ditch instead of getting out and holding the 'horse by bit and standing between him and the car. ihe drroer of the ear, does not know whether the horse will etaad or not until he is right1 near and then to top will cause a great deal of noise and throw; out a much greater gasoline odor which wnH frighten the horse much worse. Thereat majority of horses will do better to let the car paes'on bymoterate speed. ; Some people get (very mad whes: you blow your horn when 'ap-j proacm'ng them. The horn is in tended to give notice of the ap proach of the machine and the driver is required to use it. People will often -came plowing right down to the coad where a ear is massing instead of stopping and the horse rune around over; the crop and the plower stands, tbereand'.cu86es"every'mobileia the world and the people who run them, while he only to blame. We find right often horses left tied to the fence right side the road bitched to a plow or some times he is there not tied at all and no one in sight. He begins to rear about the time you get in a hundred yards of him. Should the driver be expected to get down, unhitch him and take him home before he can go on'? People should realize ribe fact that an automobile is liable to pass any time and there is no use quarreling with your neighbor if he happens to have one for he will stop and neip you if he can when vour horse is frightened but 4 people touring through the country might not do so, and un til your horse gets used to them be careful, exercise feood judg ment and there will be few accidents.-.;:-'';: 1 This article is written in the interest of harmony and with the hope that good feeling may be encouraged between those who j do and tnose . wno do not run motor vehicles. For some un known reason some good people are prejudiced against all motor vehicles in general. But; they are ; coming, ' The craze, if you cnooae to so call it, has hit the country and we are to make the best of it " i v Of course automobilists should exercise prudence in , running their cars and the public should treat them, fairly and that ia all the law requires. The law burdens the man with THE ADTK3SILE, the auto, with tax and other re strictions but it does allow him some privileges and they should be respected. A Man Who Occasionally Runs One. Origin af Artesiaa Water. Whence comes artesian water? It is believed by many persons that artesian water is stored up in the depths of the earth in great reservoirs or exists as mys terious underground rivers which eventually find their way to the surface. It is true that the water is stored up in underground res ervoirs, but not as popularly sup posed. With the exception of a few caverns of comparatively small extent such reservoirs bear no relation to open basins of the surface type, but are as a rule rock strata or masses in which tne only openings are spaces be tween the grains or along lines of solution, planes of jointing, cleavage, or bedding, or other fissures. The probable source of under ground waters has been widely disccssed, and while every one would doubtless agree that by far the greater pert is derived from rainfall, there is consider abie variety of opinion as to ihe relative importance of the other sources, auch as seepage or -absorption of water from the ocean, or the release ef otherwise un available waters in the earth's -crust which have been set free fey physical or chemical exclusion. Bulletin 319 of the Raited StatesCreologioal Survey, entitled "Summary of the Controlling Factors of the Artesian Flews," by Myron L. iPuller, discusses the aubaW -of 4ha theory and be havior of arteoian wells.

' Rules for dealing with fine fly nuisance: Screen all windows and doors, especially the kitchen and dining room. Keep the 'flies away from the sick, especially those ill with con tagious diseases. Kill every fly that strays into the sick iroom. His toady is .covered with ioease germs. Do mot allow decaying material of any sort to accumulate en or near your premises. All refuse vwhich tends in any way t fermentation, such as bedding, straw, .paper waste nd vegetable matter, should be dis posed of or covered with lime or kerosene oil. : Sereen all food. Keep au .. receptacles for gar bage carefully covered and the cans cleaned or sprinkled with oil or lime. Keep all stable manure in vault or pit, screened or sprinkled with lime, oil, or other cheap prepara tion. Cover food after a meal; burn or bury all table refuse. Screen all food exposed for sale. Don't forget if you see fliep, their breeding place is in nearby filth. It may be behind the door. under the table or in the cuspi dor. If the$e is no dirt and filth, there will be no flies. . v Pa Twaddles ' 'Tommy, if you run away from school today and go to the ball game I'll certainly give you one of the worst thrash ings you ever had." , . ; Tommy Twaddles "Pa, would you just give it to me now, so I won't have hothin' disagreeable to look forward to?Vv ; ' , ijHSERYATION 8F YOBTI. toip pitcnari Discusses Evils aai Mvacates Aooouot Amusement ! ot Proper llnl Congress has recently passed a bill which has for its object the conservation of our forests and water i power. While this is a meritorious law and one which means; much for our material de velopment and future prosperity, yet it is vastly more important that We should endeavor to con serve the young manhood of our state. - The boys and girls con situ te the most valuable asset of a community, but in the mad ruan to accumulate weaitn we have failed to recognize this truth J There is every reason why we should, above all other things. devote our time and energies m an enort to secure tne proper moral and intellectual develop ment of our bovB and girls. The individual who recognizes the ex istence of a Supreme Being and is devoted to bis family and his country must, from the very; nature of things, appreciate the responsibility that rests upon him in dealing with questions of this character. In a representative, form of government 'hke onre, the indi vidual is a part-an important part of the government. We are governed "by the consent of the governed," and in the last analysts all the strength, power and majesty of government is derived from and maintained by toe people. Therefore, the gov ernment ooq rise no higher than the level -of our citizenship. ! Pablic oaanion dearly indicates the iomd-of citizenship that may be found in each community. Shew me ft community where the pecqrie recognize the existence of an Attwise Being and govern themselves accordingly;; where they are (patriotic and devoted to their flag and their country, and I will show you a community where law and order prevail and where the Church of Christ is supreme. On the other hand if you ehow me a community where the barroom is present: where gambling and horse racing are prevalent; where ail manner of crime is committed: where the public official is unfaithful to his trust; where graft, bribery and all manner of evil prevail, I will show you a community, that is dominated by bad citizenship and where it is impossible to en force the laws that are intended for our protection. I fed sure that we sometimes make a mistake in denying to young peopleiproper amusements, There is much in the old saying that "all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." It is very es sential that both young and old .should ' have recreation and amusement provided the amuee- saent is the proper kind. The modern club where whiskey is drank and gambling is permitted is doing as mucn as any one agency to corrupt, demoralize and destroy the youth of the land, but if we are wise we will pro vide some' place in every com munity where the young people may enjoy themselves in inno cent pastime and at) the same time be afforded an opportunity to take that exercise which is so essential to physical development and without which we cannot hope for a Btrong, - virile race of people in the future. It was to supply this want that the Young Men's Christian Association was established. No woman wants her daughter o marry for money unless she ets the chance. I Sulfa era lofter. Clarence Poe, in Raleigh IN C.) Pro- gresslvs f armor. In the course of a brief article called forth by the recent death of his own mother, Editor Clar ence Poe, of the Progressive Farmer, pays the following de served tribute to a rapidly-vanishing type, the women of the Old South. I sometimes wonder if the world ever knew a higher type of womanhood than the Southern women of mother's time. They grew up on the plantations of the Old South in what proved to be the sunset glow of a patriar chal civilization that has vanish ed as completely as the social or der of Homer's time, but whose charm and romance still lure us to dreams of its beauty. They were just budding into woman hood when the fateful war drums sounded in bl, and tneir young souls were tested in the four years of epic struggle and dis tress that followed. And then, with spirits made perfect through suffering, with a dignity which poverty had not altered and courage which defeat had not shaken, they took up life on the small farms of the South and be came the inspiration of the best that was wrought by the men in tattered gray in the long ordeal of our rebuilding. To that generation my mother belonged, and I think her spirit was sweeter for the times through which she -had lived. Before fe-er marriage in 1880 she was a teacher; and not so much to any ad from the schools as to the instruction and inspiration I received from her do I owe what ever material success I have been able to win. Yet I feel, and I know she feels, that this is the smaller part of the debt that I am due her. If I have kept, if I may hope to keep, in Tennyson's fine phrase, my "trust in all things high"; if I may hope that, "though I trip and fall, I shall not blind my soul with clay," 1 must pay tribute to the influence of a mother and father whose well-lived Faith enabled them to appraise life's valuesfairlv. They fired me with ambition for achievement and success, but they taught first and most of all that the truest victory or defeat is within one's own souland that the earth -knows no more tragic failure than the man who has baught so-called Success at the cost of his only enduring treas ureshis manhood and his Weals.

Teoo and N. C. One of the most lofty mountain regions of the Appalachian sys tem, recently surveyed by the United States Geological Survey, is depicted in detail in a tope graphic map which the Survey has just published the map of the "Abingdon quadrangle." This map is on the scale approxi mately 2 miles to the inch and shows an area of a little over 1,- 000 square miles, embracing por tions of southwestern Virginia, northeastern Tennessee, and northwestern North Carolina, the three States cornering in the southern part of the quadrangle. The topographic maps of the Geologiacal Survey portray the works of man as well as the physical characteristicts of the country, and the Abingdon map. indicates a region of great divers ity. Part of the area is seen to be somewhat thickly dotted with villages, settlements, and individ ual farm houses; other portions are shown as vast stretches of high mountain regions with many lofty ridges, peaks, and knobs,, devoid of habitations.. The lar ger portion of the quadrangle was surveyed by Topographer Duncan Hannegan, but other to pographers who worked on the map are J. D. Forster. R. W. Berry, C. C. Gardner, R. A. Ki- ger and U. w. reaboay. Hun dreds of miles of area were trampted over by thesesurveyors, and scores of camps were estab lished, thousands of sights made,, and hundreds of miles of level, lines run. Thirty-nine indestruc tible iron bench marks were es tablished, showing the elevations above sea level to the nearest foot. The line between Virginia and1 Tennessee, as shown cn the map, was the subject of much contro versy for many years. Recent ly, however, it was resurveyed, and it can now be easily followed by the monuments which have been placed at prominent places and by the cutting of the timber a long the line. The line between Virginia and North Carolina, ac cording to Mr. Hannegan, is of ancient date and is very difficult, to follow ;many of the inhabitants living close to the boundary are in doubt whether they should pay their taxes in One State or the other, as there are no monuments, and marked trees are very scarce. "The entire country is pictur esque, high, and healthy, the lowest elevation found being 1,- 500 feet. The flora is abundant and luxuriant. Through the thickly settled sections macadam roads are under construction, costing $5,000 a mile or more; these are paid for by each coun ty, some of them using convict labor." The Abingdon map can now be obtained from the Director of the Geological Survey at Wash ington for 5 cents a copy, or S3 a hundred.
