such debt, shall, for the purpose Of assess.
ment and taxation, be deemed and treated

BARN DEMOLISHED.

Hon. Thomas Cooper came up from Sa.
lem last Friday, remaining until Monday.
When he left for the capital city about two
weeks ago, large frame barn on his place
west of town was nearing compilation. The
frame work of the ntructure was up, the
sheeting on and sh;ngling had begun, and
by this time tho outside work would have
been entirely completed, but the windstorm
on the night of the 18th razed it to the
ground. Work on the building is now we'll
under way again, and barring accidents will
soon be completed Once finished, Mr..
Cooper will have one of the largest and best
barns in the county.
Speaking of the recent senatorial contest
Mr.. Cooper stated to GAZETTE man that
until Wednesday afternoon before the eau
Gus the anti-Dolph element controlled 81
votes This number would have been suffi-
cient to control the nomination, but few
hours before the caucus convened, Dolph's s
strength was augmented by five votes from
the opposition party, thus giving Dolph 40
votes. What influence was brought to bear
upon these members Is not known. Mr.
Cooper was of the opinion that Mr.. Lord
would have been the caucus nominee had
Mr.. Dolph failed on the hrst ballot. He
said there were a number of members who
considered themselves in duty bound to vote
| for Dolph the first time, but subsequently
would have thrown their strength to som'
other candidate. Mr.. Cooper says there
was very little enthusiasm over. the result
and great deal of disappointment.
Mr.. Cooper says the house displays
penny wise pound. foolish course by wrang-
ling over little things, and thus taking ul
| the time which should properly be devoted
to larger and more important matters. HI
is Of the opinion that the house IS at least
week behind the senate in the consideration
OF bills.
