woodlawn Farmers Meeting

Promises to be one of the largest and
most entertaining gatherings of the
kind that ever assembled in this section
of country. Arrangements have been
completed, first class speakers procured
for the occasion and nothing neglected
that promises to aid in making the
meeting great success. A good display
of farm products, machinery ETC., will
be on the ground, and if the weather
continues fine an immense crowd will
no doubt meet on the pleasant camp
ground on those days.
Music has been secured to give zest
and variety to the meeting A chorus
of singers with organ and comets will
entertain the meeting the first day
with grange songs, and Nottingham
band will discorse instrumental music
the second day. Good speak and
good music offer profitable and pleas
ing entertainment that should attract
every one who can possibly attend to
be present and share the enjoyment
which is free to all. Any persons who
may wish to contribute trifie toward
the expense, Cecil Grange will be
thankful for such contribution. The
grange rents the use of the ground
from the camp meeting company, foots
all bills and offers a free blow to the
public. Come all without money and
without price.
A very interesting discourse on
Tuesday will be given by Mr.. G. F.
Stephens, chairman of Philadelphia S.
7. Society. on the single tax system
applied to farm lands. Or the single
tax from the farmers stand point. This
discourse will be new to most of the
audience and very interesting.

How Fast can a Fly flyP

J. A. Bascom tells the public through
the ST. Louis Globe Democrat that he has
determined that fly can fly more than
a mile minute, and offers the follow
ing testimony.
THE air was chill and crisp, and as
we passed through stretch of swamp
l noticed that great swarms of little
green flies that abound in the Arkansas
swamps were attracted to the locomo-
tive by its heat. They appeared almost
frozen. When we stopped for minute
they fiuttered around the smoke stack
and the boiler. and soon seemed to get
thawed out. When we started again
they flew along close to the engine to
keep warm. Going on a down grade of
As miles in length we ran mile a
minute. The flies kept up, and, in fact,
really went faster than we travelled,
for every little while they would fly
away from the engine and then come
back to us. am confident their speed
was greater than a mile minute, and
l will venture the assertion that they
didn't reach the limit"
This is just no evidence at all. IT
Mr. Bascom had thrown out bits of
paper they would have flown along as
fast as the engine ran till they got out
side of the suction. The rush Of the
engine caused a vacuum in the atmos-
phere which was as rapidly closed by
the pressure. The flies had only to
hold their balance and the inflow of
the atmosphere kept them along side of
the locomotive with scarce an effort ON
their part. The difficulty the flies
would experience YVES to escape from
the suction, not to keep up with the
engine. Had it run ten miles minute
escape for them would have been
difficult in fact impossible.

A Pleasure Tour to Niagara Falls

Singerly at 1919 a. m. Newark at
1927 a. m. passing through the pic
turesque Wyoming and Lehigh
Valleys, amid the anthracite coal
fields of Pennsylvania, and ARRIVING
a: Niagara Falls at midnight. AS
tickets will have ten day limit,
ample time will be afforded for side

Canada and the lake region of
Central New York. On return
journey tickets will be valid on all
regular trains and to stop off at
Buffalo, the romantic glen Onoko
Mauch Chunk, and Elmira, near

by the phenomenal popularity they
have gained in q short time. The

The Whi0 quotes from the Tonek

The Whig quotes from the Topeka
Capital, which assumes to predict
the result in Kansas will be 10000
majority for Harrison. II the Wing
knew the status of the Capital as q
political profit it would not waste
space repeating the same reckless
assertions that it retailed in 80 and
81. Harrison has no more chance
or hope of carrying Kansas than he
has of carrying Maryland. The
Peoples Party will elect every con.
gresham in Kansas as we'll as the
Weaver and Field ticket and send to
congress two United States senators
the next term. This is as certain to
result as anything in the future,
among which we might class the sun

ELKToN VS. RISING SUN.

The Elktons visited Rising SIM on
Tuesday for the purpose of playing
that long talked.of return game.
Elkton is an old foe of Rising Sun
and the boys swore vengeance for
their defeat last year when the mighty
Hawke proved such a terror. With
Huey, of Wilmington, in the box
under the assumed name of Eddie
Green of the Athletics, Elkton ex.
pected to again terrorize the Sun
sluggers but after the second inning
discovered their mistake as the boys
took kindly to " Eddie pounding
the ball all over the field and kept it
up throughout the game, Kitchens
and Wilson receiving the same recep
ton when they were in turn substi.
tuted. Besides batting heavily the
home club backed their pitcher up In
first class style. Elkton could not
hit Ximhell with any effect and their
field work was a comedy of errors
After six innings the visitors gave
up in disgust and left the field. The
batteries were Kimbell and Dare. for
Rising Sun, Huey. Kitchens, Wilson
and Green, for Elkton. Following
is the summary:

Tho Louisiana way.

r.. New ORLEANS, April 20.-Special
dispatch received this morning from
Ronito, Morehouse parish, Northeast
louisiana, says: The commissioners
and officers of yesterdays election
and the people of this vicinity are
spell bound. Last night after the
polls closed, a body OF masked men,
armed with Wiuchesters AMI shot
gums, secured the ballot box from
this precinct and destroyed 1t. An
unusually large number OF negr"
votes were placed in this box yeste' -
day and it Is claimed this was the
cause of last nights outrage. Elec-
ton retufus are coming in very
slowly both in the state and city, but
enough are at hand to permit Of
the following positive statement
being made. The state will give Eos.
ter no less than thirty thousand
majority, New Orleans giving Nc
Emery eight thousand majority, elect
ing John Fitzpatrick as mayor by LOCO
majority over mis- opponent, Joseph
Shakespeare, present incumbent. The
result Of yesterdays election for may
or of New Orleans places the city inthe
hands of what 10 con sidered very
corrupt ring, which 10 greatly de-
plored by the better class Of people.
The entire Foster ticket Is elected. in
GLIDING all of the state officers. E. B.
Kruttsnitt, chairman of Fosters
state executive committee, elaine q
victory for Foster of $4,000 majority
and control of both branches of the
legislature, which claim is pretty
well substaptiated by the returns 30
far received.
At Elkinsville postoffice, eighteen
miles from here, after the. polls
closed, two wagon loads of masked
men, armed with Winchesters
and shotguns, drove up land
fred into the building, at the same
time demanding the ballot box. The
election officers fed. leaving the box,
which was carried off. One hundred
and ejghty.Diuevotes had been placed
in the box for Leonard, republican,
and McEnery, with none for Foster.
Henry Demas, . big buck negro, has
represented the parish in the state
senate for number OF years, very
much To the disgust of the white
people, and it is believed last nights
work to be the result of this feeling,
as the throwing out of this box will
defeat DRmas.
