All Anxious For SWAM Game There seems to' be considerable ap prehension on the part of local foot ball enthusiasts, both A-jM. A. and M. A. adherents, lest the big Thanksgiving Day game between teams of these two schools will not materialize.

Coach Krebs states that he understood that the game was settled, "up to aday or' two" ago, but a Leader man on phoning to Captain Roller was informed that "under no circumstances would they play Kable Kyle was in the line-up. Krebs, it is understood, is determined that Kyle shall play or there will be no game. A. M. a.

claims tnax ivyie is way out of the Prep, class, and Captain Roller states that A. M. F. M. S.

and Woodberry Forest made a binding agreement at the opening of the season that none of them would play S. M. A. if Kyle was in the game. Roller claims that" Kyle is a 'salaried man" at S.

M. A. and is hot in the "preparatory class and states that he has written to Captain Russell declaring finally that- the Thanksgiving game will be all off unless S. A. agrees to Jay without Kyle.

Foot-ball fans are one in the hope that the two schools can come to a mutual agreement in the premises and arrange a game for November 24th, as this game has been the big athletic event of the year for several seasons past. Treasurer Has Good Balance Little new business was in evidence at the, regular monthly meeting of common counicl Tuesday night.

Whooping cough, directly, or indi rectly through its complications pneumonia and" convulsions, was responsi ble for the death of seven young children, all under ten years of age; Even tuberculosis had.

to 'take second place in the death list, and the sad part of it is that some of these chil dren might have been spared if par ents, generally, had exercised more care in protecting young and delicate children from this treacherous disease. No child with whooping cough should to school, Sunday school, moving picture theatres, nor anywhere where people are crowded in doors. Young and delicate children should be kept away from the disease at all hazards. The contagious material is in the particles of phlegm coughed up during a hence parents should see to it that every thing soiled is immediately disinfect ed before others get hold of it; Health departments can do little, as yet, to protect public against this disease without the aid of and teachers, and that is my- reason for going into details in this report.

Little Jjusiness was transacted, other than the portrait presentation, the reading of the minutes and roll call of officers.

Craftonfr sealer of weights and measures, for- Staunton says that the Leader was slightly in error in its article of yesterday headed "Two Pints Don't Make A Quart" that two of his pints used as standards, made nearly half a table spoon over a quart and that had his standard quart measure been accurate, percentage of measures thrown out, would havel even greater than 95 per cent, instead of less than that figure. In -other words, the error was in favor of the dealers rather than against them.

iiJ Mr. Crafton says he tested all of his sealed measures and that two half gills made one gill, two gills made one half pint," two half pints made one pint, and two made about half a tablespoon over a quart. The quart measure was greatly in demand in testinsr the measures of the icecream and milk dealersr and of 56 cans tested for one ice cream dealer, only 3 were found be correct. Another. dealer had 51 correct, out of 81 while two others did not have a single can that was correct.

They till ordered new cans. Mr. Crafton also said that he had not been notified by Judge Holt of any suspension of his work until his weights and measures were verified at Richmond.1- Box For Mountain Folk The Christmas box which.

Bennett Fortune out by llope. Negress Mike Safe Re treat. By far the mzzt develop ment that has ytl occurred in con nection with the ncv-famous cave-ins, on Baldwin and Lewis streets, took place at 1:15 6'fclock this after noon, when earth gave away on the west side of Eewij treet immediately in front of th4 yost property, -en gulfing two white rkmen and almost entrapping two ctiirs, who were in the shaft. One "of the men, S. Sprouse, is still "missing and has probably found a wstery grave, from which he may nvet be rescued.

Just after the Einner hour, four men descended into the work on the arch which is now being erected to sttan the channel across Lewis street, preliminary fo filling in. Suddenly, without warning, he men were knocked off their feet by earth giving away along the edge of the west pavement. Two of them were swept on into the deep Cavity; but the other two, both of whom Were colored men, jumped to their feet and scrambled to safety, after the narrowest escape and most shrilling adventure of their lives 4 A. W. Cash, foreman, was on the scene and at once threw a rope into the underground passage, hoping to save the although both" were far out of sights P9 One of.

the workmen, Dennett For tune, managed to. grab the rope-and was dragged out, alter a few minutes, as It were, from the very jaws of death. The foreman states' that Fortune had been swept clear "back to the opposite pavement, in the chan nel, some below the level of Be niarvelously hear drowning arid was of course wet through and through. Saving a small gash in his forehead, and an experience calculated to turn a man's hair was little the worse for his mishap. Efforts were at once made to save Sprouse but little could be done, as the earth continued to give away for three-quarters of an hour, by slow degrees, and the pavement and stone wall, having-no support, went into the opening to be swallowed up in forty feet of water.

This made it exceedingly dangerous to assay a rescue, as the hole which swallowed up the missing man was the-- only opening between the Yost shaft and the other one on the Wilson property, ee or more apart. The two negro workmen, who escaped when the earth first commenced to sink are -Warren Taylor and George Obie, both of whom were working on portion of ground that gave away. It jseems that a ledge of earth in the rear of the workmen gave away first, and took them off their feet before they were aware of their predicament. The two mentioned were agile enough to make their escape but the other two were swept, into the cavity, one to be res cued later as already stated, and the other doubtless to find a grave under the water. It seems that props had been pre pared to brace the earth which gave away and the first thing ordered done after dinner was the placing of these braces to obviate danger from falling eath, but the tragedy occurred before the order could be carried into effect.

This is the first fatal accident in connection with the cave-ins and is of course greatly deplored, particular ly, on the part of the workmen and the officials. Fortune stated to a Leader reporter that he was carried so suddenly into the water that he hardly knew howit happened. The first t)e knew he was struggling against the stone wall after an icy bath and he gave himself a shove and came to the surface, some fifteen feet from the opening, back under the roof he had helped layover the chasm. I swam to the side of the rock wall" said Fortune, "and held on calling for help, until Andy Cash threw me, a rope. I tied myself in the rope and was drawn out.

1 did not see anything of any of the other fellows while in the water and did not know they had gone down. Iwas not hurt a. bit and feel all right." Fortune- wanted -to tay at work but was advised to go home and change his clothes, which he finally did. tie is a sturdy young fellow and did not seem the least bit excited over his narrow escape from death. i i that the discharge struck his hip-pocket which contained a number of shells which aerved to break the impact of the shot.

"The accident occurred about two o'clock in the afternoon on Mr. Patterson's farm, on the very opening day of the hunting season. He was hunting birds in company with his young twelve year old son, and when the latter was load ing his piece, it went off accidentally and struck Mr. Patterson in the thigh. Owing to the close range, Mr; Patter son would doubtless have been severe ly wounded, but for the fact that nearly the entire load of bird shot struck his.

pocket filled with shells. As it was, the man was only slightly injured, "not even requiring the ser vices of a physician. About' twenty or more shot entered his skin but caused little pain. The shells in hia pocket were torn to pieces and many shot ran down into his shoes. Married At Augusta Hotel An early morning wedding took place at 8:30 o'clock at the Augusta Htel, when Miss Agnes F.

Hippert, pretty young lady of Augusta county, and Mr. C. T. Burgess, of Clifton Forge, were quietly married by Revj Dr. O.

The most essential thing to remember is that jewelry, iwheth-er solid gold or gold-filled, should be cleaned frequently; It should also be kept from acids and their fumes and not exposed to the effects of sulphur, rubber, drugs and chemicals. 'Perspiration, even, will discolor gold and affect its wear. Chains, especially, require to be kept clean for if dust and grit collect in the links where they rub together they will surely wear through the gold. Clean your chain once every month or so in a strong suds made of pure Castile soap and hot water with a little ammonia added using an old tooth brush. Rinse in clean cold water, then plunge in clean hot water, and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.

Do this and the chain will wear much longer, besides being always bright as when new.
