entrance the inquisitive females, who
had swallowed their breakfasts hur
riedly, or dispensed with them entirely,
made one of the prettiest rushes ever
seen outside of college premises.
The two blue-coated representatives
of the local police were carried of their
feet and whirled along with the resist
less petticosted surge from below until
several deputy sheriffs jumped down to
their rescue and turned the tide.
The result was that the pushers were
kept out entirely while those who acted
in fairly decent manner were allowed
the coveted privilege of fighting for
seats inside
Miss Borden was in her seat fifteen
minutes before the court came in and
eagerly looked over the contents of a big
official looking envelope which she
afterward passed to Governor Ro obinson.

James T. Farley. in an interview with
an EVENING JOURN&L reporter said this
morning, in regard to the trouble at the
Third election district polls of the
Twelfth ward, last Saturday.
Il was chairman of the inspectors at
the polls. The trouble began early in
the day, when three illegal votes were
cast. Each of them was cast on fraudu-
lent tax receipts l told the officers
that they were such and said if they
accepted them l would have them ar
rested.
Adam Harris came up to vote and
had one Of these receipts. l took it and
laid it on the table so that anyone in the
room could see it. l would not allow
Harris to vote and had him arrested"
Anderson, sometime afterward jumped
up and demanded that he see that tax
receipt, and said that if he did not that
no more voting would go on at those
polls, at the same time placing his hand
over the ballot box.
II said, you get it if you can. 1 told
him to sit down as he was interfering

cause the city fountains were so dry

would be the first to burn.
Probably the only cold water available
for public uses was that In the City Hall
fountain and TRtnall street spting At
these there was a constant procession of
vehicles going TO and fro and
waiting tor the turns for their
horses to drink during the three
hot days Especially was this noticed at
the City Hall fountain

improve affairs, the Wilmington Foun

saws it is able to sell goods at close
figures and make a reasonable profit,
and this it proposes to do, irrespect-

demand. The manager says he is
in Shreveport to do business, and If
others engaged in the same line can
not afford to sell at his figures, it is

goods and clothing merchants make
il a point to dispose Of as much OF
the waning seasons goods as posi-
BILE, in order to keep from holding

that it will pay a merchant to sell
these for less than cost than to hold
them over for an entire year and take
