The local Chautauu.ua committee held a meeting last evening at th library building for the purpose of making plans for a Chautauqua here next year. The leport of the committee for this year was given and it was shown that they made an actual profit forty-three dollars. The new committee discussed the contract offered by the Redpath Hornor people and decided that they could not sign it as it is. A committee was appointed to try and get n better contract with the Red-path-Horner people and if they fail in this i is probable that they will try elsewhere. They feel that the contract as it is presented to them is unfair and that Hhere is no opportunity for the local committee to. come out -ahead while there is a great possibility that they will fail bohind. The committee appointed is as follows: H. G. Knowles, B. A. Cram, Dr. N. McCabe, Bert M. Reynolds and Chas. F. Temple. E. H. Kendall was chosen secretary of the committee. The advisability of an independent Chautauqua was also discussed. It was stated that with an independent Chau tauqua thay could engage what talent they wanted and hold the Chautauqua at any time they deemed best. The early Chautauqua is not as successful as later in the summer on account of the farmers being unable to attend. The committee will try and get a better contract and if thay fail in this they will call a meeting and decide definitely what they will do. Sutherland Will Celebrate.

Stability, Efficiency and Service llitvo havn tho vjotoivs In tho gron'th or the First National Bank, It Gets tho Criminals. According to tho Chinese method of criminal prosecution, a man is respon sible for the erlmo he may have- com mitted personally, but if ho choosea to escape justleo by running nway from the place where tho deed was commit ted then tho remaining members of his immediate family nro hold and punish ed In lieu of tho real culprit This may seem n strange way of attracting tho real criminal back to the scene of lila crime, but it appeals to the religious sldo of tho man's superstitious uaturo. According to their religion, tho mnn who forsakes his parents when In peril will find his soul sailing nrouud through hades without chnrt or com pass for all eternity. In view of this, compliance with the law Is very prompt, for John Chlnnmnn does not care to tnko the desperate chance. -of- XOltVll J'&ATTJS, XnniZASICA.

The county commissioners decidtd some time ago to have Beech hill, loca ted northwest of town on the Tryon road, worked down and clayed and Contractor Waldo left for that place this week and began the grading work. The hill has always been a hard one to travel on account ol the irregularity of the grade, the occasional steep places and the sand. The commissioners ar ranged to have it graded down to make a gradual slope all the way, a distance of nearly half a mile, nnd after this is done a layer of clay will be put on the road bed. This will make a big im provement in the road for tho people living northwest of the city and will make it more easyTor them to reach town. E. C.
