a coat cf snowy white, The fowl clung
to his black during the first two years
cf his existence and bred black chick
ens. Luring the past season, after
I having changed to white, he bred
white chickens, and whereas there for

Miller farm, there are r.ow plenty oi
them—-White Minorcas that ought to

Great Antiquity of Florida.
For many years the origin of
the peninsula of Florida has
been the subject cf speculation
among scientists. Some sixty
years ago the great naturalist
Louis Agassiz advanced the hy
pothesis th.it the greater part of
the peninsula had been produced
during comparatively recent
times by successive growth of
coral reefs along its southern
margin, which has thus heen ex
tended farther and farther into
the waters of the Gulf. A few
years later Joseph LeConte re
stated this view cf the organic
origin of Florida and suggested
that the work of corals has been
largely supplemented by mud
and other sediments dropped by
the Gulf Stream.
This hypothesis was generally
accepted as correct for many
many years, but in 1881 Prof.
Eugene A. Smith discovered
that the greater part of the pen
insula of Florida is underlain at
no great depth by limestones
which are not the work of cor
als and which were formed long
before the recent epoch,
For the last 34 years these
fundamental rocks of Florida,
often called the Ocala limestone,
have been thought to be nearly
equivalent in age to the Vicks
burg limestone of Mississipi i
and Alabama ana have been
called the Vicksburg group. A
short time ago C. Wythe Cooke,
of the United States Geological
Survey, discovered that the
Ojala or sc-ealled Vickshure
limestone of Florida contains
many fossil remains of sea shells
cf the samo species that occur in
the marl? near Jackson, Miss.,
and that are known to have be
come extinct before the rocks 11
Vicksburg were deposited. It
therefore appears that the Ocala*
limestone is of about .the same
ige a3 the Jackson formation
and is considerably older than
iias heretofore been supposed.
Instead cf being of recent ori
gin, as was thought by Agassiz
and LeConte, the Fioridan pla
teau was in existence during the
Eocene era —probably two mil
lion years ago.

friends will bring any donations which
they desire O distribute to the needy
to the church and these will be deliv

Decides Against
Town of Morganton
Morirantoa, Dec. 18- -Judge
Shaw handed down a decision
this week which is giving the
town authorities grave concern
and which may have the effect of
suspending ail city improve
ments.
hor years here, as in other
places, the property owners have
been taxe.il with half the cost of
permanent cement sidewalks.
Upon refusal of Dr. E. S. War
iick to pay his half for a sidewalk
in front of his residence and of
Mrs, A. C, Avery, in frcnt of Ho
tel Morgan, the town brought
proceeding to collect, holding the
property liable, and under Judge
Shaw's ruling nothing can be
collected and the officials fear a'
general refusal to pay for im
provements.
It is contended by the fearful
that the owners of the lot be
tween the two in question had
paid their part, so they will prob
ably demand the amount refund
ed, and if the decision stands in
the Supreme Court the town as
well as other towns throughout
the Scate will be swamped with
suits.
Attorneys Huffman and Avery
for the town announced an ap
peal to the Supreme Court.
* * '*
Since the above was put in type
Judge Shaw has made a corract
tion stating that he had only
held that a magistrate had no ju
j fisdiction in matters of this sort, !
and that the Supreme Court had
held that municipalities had the |
right ttf levy on property to pay
for street improvements if their j
charters so stated.

Children and Young Part'idges.
(Contributed.)
Children and young partridges
are much alike. They have more
enemies and are subjected to
1 more dangers than most any two
iiving creatures.
Partridges are exposed to dews,
storms and hawks. Also, the?
are the prey of eats, dogs, boys
and heartless men. They are
constantly in danger of their
lives. They have no protection
except what nature gives them—
weeds, grass and briars in which
instinct tells them to run and
hide.
| Their parents are helpless to
protect them in times of danger.
And when about grown, they are
bated intd nicely arranged traps
and deadfalls. And last, but not
least, they become the helpless
victims of sportsmen, dogs, guns
and shot. So, from first to last,
their existence in the world is a
! dangerous and pitiable one.'
It is so with children. They,
I too, are constantly in danger of
| falling, getting choked, catching
contagious diseases, getting kill
; ed on play grounds or drowned in
ereeks.
In towns?-, it is worse. If they
play on. or even cross the streets,
they are liable to be killed by
runaway tesms or flying automo
! biles. If they piav on sidewalks
off the protected square, they are
liable to be run over by bicycles,
as one was the other day. Folks
are in an awful hurry on wheels.
But start them on foot with a
package to deliver, or with a hoe
to the garden, and they are gen
tlemen of leisure instead of plea
i sure.
| It is against the law to ride on
any side walk after night, yet it
is done. And done with speed
and impunity. And they have
no more lights on their wheels
than they have regard for law
and human life under their hats.
Children are net only subjected
i to these and many other dangers,
but when a little older, the devil
sets all kinds of traps and snares
to catch and to lead them off into
: all kinds of bad habits and sports
I which ruin them for life, physi-
Jcally, financially and morally,
So children have very little safe-
I fy in this ago that is beset on all
sides with dangerous temptations
and snares, sins, tio, that have
been licensed by Christian gov
ernments—pool rooms, etc.
Now the person, society, state,
church or thing that thinks —
with present and popular condi
tion —parents can insure the safe
ty of their best children, even, is
simply blinded by the devil, the
god of this world. If the exist
ance of children, like that of par
tridges, ended with this life, it
would not be so bad. Yet we say
we do not believe it does, while
we do like it does. J. F. C.
Giant Motor Guns
New Defense Plan
Gigantic guns mounted on mo
tor trucks or railway cars prob
ably will be added to the coun
try's coast defense system as a
result of experiments now being
made by army ordnance experts.
It was learned that a scheme is
being worked out contemplating
the establishment of mobile bat
teries to protect stretches of
coast lines not commanded by
the permanent fortification built
to or be constructed. Part of the
$50,000,000 expenditure for coast
defenses included in the adminis
tration's program may be devot
ed to this work.
The European war has demon
strated that high power guns can
be used as mobile weapons, such,
guns as the German 42 centimet
re Howitzer having revolutioniz
ed land warfare by the easy re
duction of forts believed impreg
nable.
Tne experiments are to deter
mine how big a gun can be ef
fectively transported and trans
ferred from its carriage to a con
crete foundation. Consideration
is being given to 12-inch, 14-inch,
16-inch and even larger weapons.

War Upon Pain!
Pain is a visitor to every home and
usually it comes quite unexpectedly.
But you are prepared for every
j emergency if you keep a small bottle
,of Sloan's Liniment handy. It is the
I greatest pain killer ever discovered,
j Simply laid on the skin—no rubbing
required—it drives the pain away, It
j is really wonderful.

around the Panama Exposition with
wet feet, I came home with my neck
so stiff that I couldn't turn. I applied
Sloan's Liniment freely and went to
