Friday, June 21, IQI2
Base hall and politics are the
r only theai*s foc» discussion now.
7 It is difficult to decide which is the
more interestine.
Keep your temper, eat lipht
wholesome food, avoid so tnuch ice
water and all intoxicants and the
hot weather will not produce a bad
effect.
It is sincerely hoped that the
steam roller will be left out of the
Baltimore Convention, but as Col.
Bryan says, the Democrats will
not need the roller as they are
going: to hold a model convention.
Resolve to make your towu tle
best one in the whole country and
the resnlt will astonish the most
sanguine. There are great possi
bilities in civic bettermeut here and
to every othtr town.
Now that Hon. Locke Craig has
been nomiuated for governor of
North Caroliai, our esteemed
friends across the river the in county
of his people can sleep sweetly, for
be will be elected by a majority
any man might be proud to have iu
the race for office.
A writer looking into the lives of
the presidents of the United States,
makes the statement that none of
them were boozers, only a few us
ing liquor moderately. This might
be expected lor uo man who boozes
could ever have power withiu bitu
to become the ruler of these mil
lions of American citizens. Amm
who cannot get the mastery over
himself is not capable of ruling
even a cross roads postoffice.
Our City Fathers should inau
gurnte a movement to clean the
town before the pilgrimage of the
summer visitors begins. "A stitch
in time will save nine." Other
towns have put on r. clean new
dress, why not Williapiston? With
improved streets and reads leadirg

SEVILLE HOUSES MAY FALL
Authorities Require 4,000 Inmates to
Vacate ard They Are Homeless—
Collapse of School Buildings.
Madrid. —A& inquiry provoked by
the recent collapse of a school build
ing at Seville has revealed the fact
that there ia Imminent danger of 411
houses In that city tumbling down In
like manner. They have been vacat
ed, with the resuii that eome four
thousand people are homeless.
The collapee of the schoolhouso,
which cost the lives of a master, an
old woman and several youngstors,
aroused great public feeling and
prompted tho civil governor to order
an official investigation by' the mu
nicipal architects.'
Their report shows that 411 houses
aro in such a dilapidated condition as
to be absolutely dangerous to the in
habitants.
When the tenants were served with
a notice to move at once, very few
could comply with the order, being
unable to find other lodgings at any
thing like the same rent. They ac
cordingly stopped where they were un
tlll the police exjtelled them, putting
, four thousand people Into the streets.
The majority of those thuu* evicted
1 found shelter In the houses of rela-
I tlves, friends and neighbors.
Another problem which then faced
the authorities was what to do with
the furniture and goods of these. The
' alcalde eventually settled the matter
: by ordering all tho furniture to be de
posited in the Plaza do Toros. So tho
, bull ring 1B now packed with ward
robes, tables, desks, chairs and so on.
t Kvery family has its separate allot
ment, and the whole is guarded by the
police.
> Meanwhile. In caaes where their
I condition permits, the houses are be
ing repaired.

I>OB Angeles.—A girl's sweet slng-
I Ing is calming into sanity in the coun

demented. Whore drastic medlcsl
treatment baa been jtowerless to effect
a cure, her molodlous rendition of
{ simple hymns and pastoral melodies Is
producing striking mental improve
ment.
The girl, a young nurse, is no col
oratura soprano, nor, perhaps, could
she tell 0 from O on a musical staff,
: but her aongs are songs of sym
pathy, and for more than a week
have been the only Influence that has
controlled the patient.
May Flynn Is the nurse, a recent
recruit at the county hospital, and
Stephen S. Stephens the man, who,
but for a brain Jangled by wild de
lusions. Is a fine specimen of the
American workman.
, Physicians and Internes watching
the effect of the girl's voice on the pa
tient. declare that she holds out the
only hope of his recovery.
