THE prospects are that soon United
States Senators will be elected by a
direct vote of the people instead of
through the Legislature. We expect
the Democratic Congress to give us
this privilege. The house committee
on election Of President and Vice
President has voted to make favorable
reports on the bill of Representative
Tucker, Virginia, providing for the
election of United States Senators by a
direct vote of the people. The report
was agreed upon by nearly unani-
nous vote.

1t will be seen by inspecting the
above statement that each one of
these townshipsis endebted to Henry
county for overdrafts in these Road
Improvements, and Mr.. Russell as
serts that there is no lawful way to
enforce the collection of this indebt-
ness from the townships which ag-
gregates $12, 1920 18, and after deduct
ing the full amount on hand of $S72.1S,
these townships still owe Henry coun-
ty the sum of 81, 44S.00, and if Henry
county has no recourse in law, neith-
er have the townships, and while
Richfield township has the greatest
amount on hand she nevertheless is
much the greatest debtor to Henry
county for the payment of a debt that
should have been paid by the several
townships in which the improvements
are located, and there is no written
law in the statutes that could bring
order out of the confusion of funds
that existed in Henry county prior to
the transfer and the unwritten law of
good management and business sense
was combined with the written law
pertaining to transfers and the appli-
cation of both resulted in the pay
ment and closing up of all overdrawn,
abandoned, and imperative funds
and left only active funds to be sus-
tained and operated in the interest of
the taxpayers of Henry county ac-
cording to law, and since Mr.. Russell
has insinuated that the Auditor and
Commissioners are law breakers and
Anarchists.
1 in defense of all thatI have written
and in defense of the adjustment of
funds, do hereby invite Mr.. Russell
to meet me during the month of Oc-
tober, 1894, in every township in Hen
ry county in friendly discussion as to
the good or evil resulting from the
transfer of surplus funds and levies
imposed for the year 1899, 1898 and
1894.
Very respectfully submitted,

THE Akron Republican and Beacon
says the administration of Gov. Nc.
Kinley is disgrace to the State and
that Mckinley is totally unfit for the
Presidency. This coming from SO
high authority will no doubt have its
weight among thinking Republicans,

his Presidential ASPIRATIONS. The pa
per is managed by Col. A. L. Conger,

THE ORIGIN OF FIRE.
ytarted by Whale, According to the Sout
Co VaIo

Started by a Whale, According to the South
Sea Islanders.
The South Sea islanders tell a curious
story of the origin of fire. If they are
10 be believed, they came into possession
of that useful element in the following
manner: A great whale was once wash
cd ashore upon one Of their islands during
the prevalence of terrible hurricane.
The monster became entangled in a
grove of tallow trees "a species of ever
green's whose branches easily ignitel
and while gnashing his teeth in his inn
potent rage struck off spark which
lighted the grove and consumed both
trees and whale. Fires which are said
to have been perpetuated since the day
of the ''great whale fire" may yet be
seen burning in many parts of the is
lands.
Another fire legend, believed in by
the inhabitants of the islands to the
north of the ones in which the great
whale fire" is preserved, is to the effect
that a great air dragon (probably light
ning) breathed upon a tallow tree and
set its branches ON fire. From the Goals
left from this fire they learned of its
great value and have ever since used the
element for domestic purposes and in
their religious ceremonies. They also
have tradition that the time will come
when the dragon will return for the fire,
and that no man will be able to with
stand him and save the sacred spark ex-
cept he be a person born with pink eyes,
fair skin and white hair For this rea-
son the birth of an albino is always
hailed as good omen and his or hel
person guarded with jealous care, SO as
to preserve life to its utmost limit.
Marionette mentions seeing q fire god
or ''fire guard" (albino) while on his
visit to the islands who was believed
to be at least 155 years old and who had
always been provided for by the tribe.
Reffinesque, who made South Sea Is
land myths and legends study fol
years. is Of the opinion that the return
of the dragon for his fire is symbolic o.
death and the fight of the spirit. st

THE Republican press have been
quite busy charging Senator Brice
with being connected with the sugar
trust. Now we will see II it is honest
enough to print the following letter
which Senator Brice has sent to the

The letter should convince the most
skeptical the Senator is innocent OF
the charges heaped upon him. The
letter is as follows:

one as to me, all accounts of mine, or
