the nomination Of Judge Thurman:

window was posted a large circular
bearing the legend. "Save our
Boys" Similar signs were twined
about the iron posts, on the east

not known what effect they had on
the voters. Cards with "W. C.

From the closing of the polls
until the receipt of the re-

At the instance of G.. Dixon,
general manager of the Salamander

pany, q meeting of citizens was
called at the Court House Mon
day afternoon for the purpose of
organizing a local company to Is
sumo control OF the works. At
present they 7 owned for the
most part By Chicago parties who
threaten to mave the factory to
that city, shippingthe raw material
from the beds here. Mr.. Dixon
opposed this plan, claiming it to.
be, utterly impractieable. The
reason of the threatened removal
is that the works here have thus
far been idle halt the time be-
cause of the condition ofthe streets
and roads, the former being i'm
passable by the teams that haul
the product of the factory to the
railroads, the latter being SO mud
dy as to render it Impossible to
bring wood fuel from the country.
Mr.. Dixon stated that the plan
of hauling the raw material three
hundred miles to a factory was not
feasible for several reasons. He
was sure there was no richer
deposit of clay in the country, and
that within "a months the factory
here would be working 100 men.
There was considerable enthusiasm
and interest manifested and J.. FL.
