8 U. S. KING OF LONDON NEWSIES CHOOSES ‘QUEEN’ The Newsboy Kins’ has taken a Queen consort. “Keystone” Sam Cole, who long has been hailed as King of the London Newsboys, but who is American born and bred, has just been m-wried to Adela Victoria Robertson ».t St, James. Piccadilly. She. too. went from New York to England, traveling with the Cana dian Red Cross, and is now attached to St. John's Ambulance. She won a bunch of decorations for service during the war. The Newsboy King—we might call him “Young King Cole,” for he is only twenty-nine—his bride is thir ty-one—saw plenty of the war, too. When he arrived here for a visit three years ago he had been through a French military prison camp, Oran, and had been pSsesent at the fall of Monastic. Since 1905 he has been globe-trotting, making his way by selling newspapers, and he declared during his latest stay in New York that he would travel until 1920. when he would have completed fifteen years of swinging around the -world circle and would have been in every country on earth. He was born in Hagerstown. Md. He wnt to York. Pa., and thence to Baltimore, where he started sell ing papers. Then he came to New York. He worked his passage to Liverpool, returned to New York, took a flyer into New England, re maining some months at Portland. Me., then made a tour across the continent to Los Angeles, collecting letters from most of the mayors along the route. In July, 1916, he Went to Alexandria. Egypt, thence to Cairo and the Pyramids, return ing to Salonica. Greece, where he met two representatives of the Amer ican Red Cross. ~ Will he now “marry and settle down’ —or will the call of the road still be a lure to the feet of perhaps the most adventurous “newbie” of them all? Aged Gamblers Fined When They, Stand Pajt And Refuse to David Gideon, seventy-five years ©ld, and William H. Busteed, sev enty-two, the Nassau county gam blers, who refused to trade immunity for information, were sentenced by Justice Scudder yesterday in the su preme court in Mineola, Long Island, as common gamblers. A fine of SI,OOO was imposed on each of them and a sentence of six months in Sing Sing was suspended during their good behavior. John Shaughnessy, owner of the house in which thev operated, who testified willingly for the state in the investigation to discover whether the gamblers had official protection, got off with a suspended sentence. Five employes of the gambling house were sentenced to pay fines ranging, from $250 to SI,OOO each and a peni tentiary sentence of ninety days, which was imposed on each of them, but suspended during good behavior.. In spite of the steadfast refusal of the two chief figures in the case to assist, the district attorney in tends to prosecute his inquiry into conditions in Nassau county and the grand jury has been summoned for tomorrow. Gideon and Busteed are under subpoena to appear before this bodv and walked anxiously up and down the courthouse corridors after their sentence discussing the situa tion. They are in earnest, they say. in their intentionto quit the gambling business and expect that their prop erty in Hewlett will be sold within five days to a purchaser with whom they are negotiating. Old Bursar Alarm, Guards Tibet Tombs by Sharp-Pointed Arrows In Tibet the Tartars have what is possiblv the oldest burglar alarm jn. the world. It was invented as a pre caution against the robbing of tombs. When a royal personage died in Tibet he was buried with all his jewels and precious robes. To add a still higher tribute, the most beau tiful young woman of his court was suffocated and embalmed upon the day of the funeral. This conserved their beauty,, ami they were placed in a standing po sition around the to.T,b of their master, each holding trinket used by the royal personage during his lifetime. To protect these treasures from vandals the Tibetans erected an arch of sharply pointed arrows, and whoever passed under this trod on a release, which discharged arrows in quick succession. This invention, hidden around the temples and tombs of the rich Tar tars, was doubly efficient, as it pro tected property as well as executed justice without unnecessary trial by jury.—London Tid-Bits. _ Real Bombs Will End Career of Dreadnaught WASHINGTON. —Explosive tests will be made in Lower Chesapeake Bav this week with the old battle ship Indiana by placing bombs in various parts of the ship to demons trate their destructive effect hat. they dropped from the air. Already airplanes, flying over the Indiana. have demonstrated the practicability of hitting a target of that size from a height of 4.000 to 9.000 feet, but the bombs used were dummies and the test was merely one of accuracy. After the experiments the old war ship will be anchored in Tangier Sound as a target for the ships of the Atlantic Fleet which will use a new type of projectile. The battleship Oklahoma of the Atlantic Fleet has been awarded a bronze trophy for excellence in small arms practice for vessels of the battleship class.

HERE ARE SOME FINE HALLOWE’EN GAMES A TOUCH OF WITCHERY Witchery is always a mystifying game to play. One of the play ers leaves the room agreeing to tell who of the company holds his right hand over the head, while eh is out of the room. When he .returns, all hands are extended to him and he can detect at a glance the hand he seeks, because the blood has left it, leaving it whiter than the others. 1 lOiMtii iSi DUCKING FOR APPLES A favorite game and one that should not be omitted on Hal lowe’en is ducking for apples. Fill a tub with water and throw sever al apples into it. The person who first succeeds in getting a bite of any of the apples wins the prize. A WAILING GHOST No Hallowe’en party is complete without its ghost story. Let the guests be seated in a circle on the floor and dim the lights in the room. When the story reaches an exciting point, let a ghost with a loud w r ail jump into the middle of the group. This will furnish plen of thrills. f SS^^SIMIWWI ii i ilni r IBiIJIHWIIB MYSTIC CIRCLE IN THE DARK A game that will furnish many thrills and much excitement is I the following: The guests should be seated in a circle and the lights 1 turned out. Then various articles are passed around, such as a ham bone, a piece of fur in a mouse-trap, a peeled banana, a rubber glove filled with wet cold sand. There is much excitement when these ar ticles are passed around the circle in the dark. LIGHTED CANDLES TELL IHARRIAGE The number of years before wedding bells will peal is found by setting a number of lighted candles on a platter, blindfolding the per son and telling them to blow. The number of candles that remain lighted indicates the number of years. REFRESHMENTS A LA CAFETERIA A novel idea of serving refreshments is the cafeteria style. The guests serve themselves, picking up a tray near the door, further along a napkin, silver and then the eats. All finish up at the cash ier’s desk, who looks the trays over and gives a check to each guest. The number on this corresponds with anothei- and thus partners for 1 the supper are secured. Spalding County Fair Noted for Excellence In All Departments BY JACK Xi. PATTEBSON GRIFFIN, Ga„ Oct. 28. —The eighth annual exposition of the Griffin- Spalding County Fair association, October 25-30, is per-eminently the greatest affair yet promoted by an association that has initiated many new departures in county fairs. Un favorable weather up to Wednesday night reduced the usual large at tendance, but record crowds are ex pected Thursday, Friday and Satur day. Spalding, one of Georgia’s banner agricultural and ,iog raising counties, is the home of more than twenty thousand people, thousands of whom are engaged in the healthful and profitable occupation of farming. The Georgia Experiment Station situated two miles north of Griffin, does not set a pace for Spalding farmers, but its officers find much to do to maintain a position in the forefront of the great agricultural ranks. The county ranks first in hard surfaced road construction, on which it is expending a million dol lars, tenth in population, sixth in production of cotton, and occupies the head of the column in white chil dren of public school age. Famous for its agricultural and other re sources, Spalding is supporting its county fair, organized eight years ago as the result of a successful poultry show promoted by a few pro gressive men from Griffin and the rural precincts, and it is no wonder that it has grown into one of the biggest and best in the state, having secured possession of the old Camp Northern grounds of about 140 acres. Agricultural Exhibits The agricultural exhibits at the fair this year, T. E. Elder, cu perintendent, show no evidence of the invasion of the boll weevil, but the cotton yield is far short of the general average. Prizes were award ed in the agricultural department Wednesday as follows: For the best and most complete individual agricultural display from Spalding and adjoining counties: First prize, $350 —J. -A. Burnett, Spalding county. Second prize, S2O0 —W. C. Maddox, Spalding county. Third prize, sls0 —Tull Patrick, Spalding county. Fourth prize, $10 —D. O. Daniel, Spalding county. Awards were placed in hundreds of single agricultural specials. For general display of preserves, jellies, .pickles, catsup, canned fruits and vegetables in glass and tin. First prize, $50 —Mrs. J. J. Calla way, Sunny Side. Second prize, $30 —Mrs. W. F. Hud dleston, Aiken district. Tnird prize, $20 —Mrs. M. R. Mitch ell, Griffin. R. F. D. Fourth prize, $15 —Mrs. B. B. Col only, Griffin, R. F. D. School Exhibit Awards Best exhibit from school with more than one teacher —Ringgold. Second to above —Rising Sun and Rehoboth tied. Best exhibit from teacher with one teacher —Rover. Second as above —Midway. Honorable mention school exhib its —Vineyard, Kincaid, Orchard Hill, Teaman and Mclntosh. The school exhibits consisting of fancy work, canned products and va rious other entries of educational in terest are features of the fair. The exhibit of Vineyard school, a small one taught by a man, deserves Spe cial mention. Baby Health Center A special exhibit of healthful interest is that of the baby health center, under the direction of Mrs. Myrtle Sibley, demonstrating the proper physical care and nourish ment advisable for children. Health charts, weights and various foods prescribed and forbidden are on dis play, and much interest is being manifested in this department by the thoughtful parents of the coun try. The Art Building The art building, Mrs. O. W. Sib ley, superintendent, is a center of interest. The entries in the la dies’ department include hundreds of of specimens of paintings, needle word and other attainments of im portance to home life. The paint ings exceed the displays of all for mer fairs <nd are attracting the at tention of hundreds of visitors. Girls’ Canning Club The Girls’ Canning club depart ment under the supervision of Mrs. Franklin Sibley, is an attractive fea ture of the fair. The school girls of Spalding county are co-operating with Mrs. Sibley, the home emerg ency demonstration agent, in ev ery' way possible, and the results are highly gratifying to parents and teachers throughout the county. Cattle and Swine The cattle and swine department, Y. S. B. Gray and D. J. Gaissert, su perintendents, show many fine breeds of cattle and swine, the Jer sey prevailing in the former and the Duroc Jersey in the latter class. The colored Boys’ Big club, encour- aged with loans by the banks of Griffin, has achieved wonderful re sults, challenging the best efforts of the experienced farmers of the county. Harness Racing Daily The success of the horse racing held at the fair in 1912 1913, 1914, 1915, 1916, 1917, and 1919 placed Griffin in the blue ribbon depart ment of the Southern Circuit. Marie Bradley established the track record at 2:11 several years ago, said to be the fastest mile ever trot ted On a half-mile track in Georgia. Judge Joseph Davidson,^of Wilming ton, Delaware, one of the most ca; pable and satisfactory starting judges in America, is officiating for the third time at the Griffin fair. He will go from this city to the Georgia State fair in Macon. He has also started the speeders at the great Southeastern fair in Atlanta. The members of the racing commit tees are Y. S. B. Gray, W. T. Ben nett, D. J. Gaissert and J. A. Bur nett. A number of fast beauties are furnishing entertainment on the track every afternoon during <the fair. The largest and most creditable midway ever seen at a fair in Spald ing county is delighting the crowds The concessions include five riding devices and all the features connect ed with midway aggregations. Aviator Wright is thrilling im mense crowds every afternoon with aerial maneuvers, including a wild leap from the clouds supported bv a parachute. There are other at tractions, including fireworks at night. The Pair Association The officers of the fair associa tion are: President, A. P Patter son; vice president, J. W. Hammond secretary-treasurer, John B. Mills Board of directors, A. D. Patterson. R. O. Crouch, S. B. Frye, J. W. Ham mond, P. J. Slaton, John B. Mills, E P. Bridges. An Enterprising City Griffin, the Gem City of Georgia also known as the “Turkish Towel Town,’’ has a population of about 12,000 people, all of whom radite the famous “Griffin grit.” It was this city that inaugurated the automobile booster trip system of advertising the city and country fairs. Several weeks before the fair Griffin boosters invade all the counties of upper mid dle Georgia distributing matter ad vertising the city and the county fair, Tt'he commercial center of a larger area than any other city in middle Georgia, it receive./ more than 30,- 000 bales of cotton annually. Grif fin’s seven cotton mills, representing an investment of more than $2,000,- 000, and its two hosiery mills and various other prosperous manufac turing enterprises, make it one of the most imoprtant industrial points in- the state. The city owns its own light and water plants and maintains a paid fire department. The commis sion-city manager form of govern ment is proving eminently satisfac tory and the entire community is en joying unprecedented prosperity de spite the temporary financial depres sion that has developed as a result of the continued low price of cotton and the reduced yield. The city offi cers are: Commissioners, J. W. Gres ham, S. B. Frye, J. S. Tyus; city manager, E. P. Bridges. The Board of Trade Mention of the Griffin-Spalding county board of trade, one of the most aggressive and effective m America, should not be omitted. Since the establishment of the trade or ganization about eight years ago, the city has experienced a revitalization. Its progress along every line has exceeded that of the succeeding thirty years. The board also serves the county and is influentially in strumental in the inauguration and promotion of every projected enter prise. To speak of the organization necessitates reference to William B. Royster, the secretary-manager, who is the dean of the/ state trade board association. Mr. Royster is a dynamo of energv, radiating enthusiasm and success. Notwithstanding that he has received offers from many cities he elects to remain in Griffin and manage the board which he organ ized seven years ago. The officers of the board of trade are: President, William H. Beck; commissioners, E. H. Griffin, Has kell H. Bass. J. A. Burnett and Gil man J. Drake. Co-operation is the upower that has made Griffin one of the prettiest and most enterprising cities in the state, all persons working together for the welfare of the entire county. Taxes Reported Overdue Frcr/n 860 Alabamians MONTGOMERY, Ala. —Reports re ceived bv the state tax commission from T. A. Mooring, assistant to the commission, show that operations .in DeKalb, St. Clair, Talladega and Blount counties during the past few days have developed tax escapes which will jmt more than $25,000 in the state treasury. It was found that S6O persons were operating without paying privilege licenses and that 125 franchise taxes had not been col lected. The former class will vield $16,128 and the latter $9,388.68. The money has been due the state for some time. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1020. Firemen Stare When Hose Spouts Flame BOSTON. The phenomenon of flame bursting fi'om a fire hose, through which water was passing when there was no fire nearby, has mystified the Boston fire department. Nothing like it ever occurred before, according to Fire Commissioner John R. Murphy, who said it was “the most interesting thing that has happened in the fire business in a long time.” The fire developed during a test of big motor pumping engines. It nurned holes through the hose in two places, each near the engine connection, flame breaking through on the outside. First opinion of ex perts was that “free sulphur” had been left between layers of the hose as a residue of vulcanization, but analysis showed a minus quant ity as compared with specification allowed. The burned sections have been sent to Prof. Augustus H. Gill, of Massachusetts Institute of Tech- rit a i i..

Chinese Cemetery Os Pigeon Holes A good Chinaman insists on being buried in China. He may live in the United States, but when he is about to die he makes it clearly under stood that his remains are to be transported to the Far East for final burial. To transport each bodj’’ separate ly’ would be prohibitive in cost for the average Chinaman’s estate. Hence established procedure is to 'accumulate a large number of bodies until they make up " shipment and can be transported at minimum ex pense. From, the time the Chinaman dies until the shipload is being made up, his body is kept in a separate com partment of a stone structure which serves as a cemetery. After placing the body in its compartment or pigeon-hole, it is sealed in with a thin cement wall. Each compartment is numbered, and a suitable epitaph is -written on the cement wall to flowery Chinese characters.—Detroit News.

Aspirin Is the trade mark of Bayer Manufacture of Monoacetlcacidester of Sallcyllcacld Alligator Is Useful As Pest Destroy ci Killing alligators' has been from time immemorial a popular pastime. In Louisiana it was found that when the aligators were killed off the muskrat multiplied and destroyed levees; also the cottonmouth jnoc casin, the garfish and the carp in creased wonderfully. Whereupon protection was given to alligators. This lacertilian, to give him his correct family name, has probably kept the muskrat away from the South Carolina coast, for the musk rat is unknown on the coast. If allowed to multiply the alliga tor will make inroads on the carp, the garfish and the cottonmouth, all un .esirable members of our' fauma. The sum total of the alligator’s evil doing amounts to this: '' He catches a dog now and then; once in a long while pulls a hog or bites the tail off a cow, for sundry stumn-tailed cows along the Atlan tic Coast Line right of way have met misfortune in this way. The cow. the dog and the hog are out of place when the alligator can get at them: but at best very little of this happens.—Charleston News and Courier.
