“What time did. you get in last
night, my son?’’ wa sthe query In
one of the homes of prominent
ThomasviUe people. The dutiful
and obedient and truthful son an
swered very promptly "Nine thirty,
•Mother." And thereby hangs a tale,
for mother had seen him come In,
and looked at the clock, and It was
twelve o’clock. The son would not
recede from hts position that It was
nine thirty. He swore by the old
town clock that stands In the court
house tower that the houi was a
quarter past nine. The more his
mother insisted the more positive
he became.
The matter was only settled this
morning, when his mother came down
town at about eight o'clock and
found that she was an hour and a
quarter ahead of herself. She
couldn’t understand and she began
‘.0 be troubled at her harsh treat
ment of the erring eon. She looked
at the dock and waited and looked'
again and -then waited in one spot
for the hands to leave the uncanny
hour of nine fifteen. 'Twaa not .to
be—the clock bad stopped!
The carpenters who were work
ing on the tower yesterday had
nailed large nails In the shutters,
and In the course of time they had
stopped the clock. The clock has
been straightened out by the jeweler
and Is running again. There is no
danger ol any fuxther mix-ups
about the time from that source
at any rate.

The Nation's Greatest Asset."

About 30 feet of lumber in every
0, that pass through sawmills In
tho South ls furihei 1 manufactured
the South. ' The rest is shipped
away, except what is used In the
rough at home. What becomes of
the rough lumber which Is shipped
out ot tho South? It la not possible
trace the carloads separately, but
lew figures concerning the wood-
using factories la Northern 3tates
will give a hint. The sawmills of
Massachusetts produce 361,200,000
feet of lumber a year and Its wood-
using factories demand 549,319,644
»t. The South Is supplying a pre>-
large part of the difference, mi
ls produces 170,181,000 feet of
niher a year and its factories de
mand 1 800,000.000 feet — more than
times what its forests yield. The
South’s rough lumber is concerted
Into finished product in Illinois.
Could not the South do It as well,
and become a manufacturer and
seller instead of seller only? Mich
igan Is still a large producer of
lumber; but after the amount re
quired for rouKo construction Is
taken ont, Michigan has not enough
left for its own factories. It buys
yearly from the South for the pur
pose of further manufacture 12,-
000.000 -feet of cypress. 15,1)06,090
feet of hickory, 22,000,000 feet of
short-leaf pine, 23,000,00') feet of
yellow poplar, 133,000,000 feet of
red gum, 35,000,000 feet of long-
loaf pine, and about 50,000,000 feet
of white and red oak, besides large
quantltlee of other woods.
The South is missing its oppor
tunity in not keeping Us lumber at
home until it ls manufactured Into
finished products ready for the
user. Before the war, the cotton
waa usold raw. It Is now found
profitable to make cloth or It and sell
the Cloth. ' In like -manner it will
be found profitable to convert the
trees Into 'furniture, house finish,
