The reporter who dictates the artistic
in Cumberland Nems intelligence lays
down the following requirements for
ga perfect female arm :"
Measured from the armpit to the wrist
joint, it should be twice the length of the
head. The upper part should be large, full
and we'll rounded and the forearm must not
lie too flat, not nearly 80 flat as mans, for
example. A dimple at the elbow is also
desirable.

court of law did you find all that out ?

The Swearingen Murder.
The New York Journal tells in very
graphic style how George Swearingen, high
sheriff of Washington county, murdered his
jealous wife in 1928, how he was captured in
New Orleans, brought back and hung on his
own gallows. There are few inaccurate
statements in the article, among them prob
ably being the assertion that on the spot
where Mrs. Swearingen FELL near Cresaptown
this county, no grass will grow, nor snow
lay.-Cumberland Ne,cs.
The sketch was written from data
furnished In some well prepared manu-
script by Miss Elizabeth Seymour
Caudy, of Cedar Cliff. W. Va. The
references to "the barren spot" are
repetitions of legendary import rather
than as statements of fact.

DEMANDED BALLOT BOXES.
A Mob at Pike Roads Forcibly Enter the POLL
ing Place and Demand the
Boxes.

Montgomery, Aug Especial. .)-There
came near being serious trouble at Pike
Roads. in this county, on election day.
The Journal tells about it as follows:
Just about midnight after the board
of election inspectors for Pike Road pre-
cinct had concluded the count of the
votes Mr.. 8. s. Belser, the fusion candi-
date for sheriff, his brother, H. A. Belser
a prominent local merchant, and Messrs.
Baskin, Lowe and Johnston, all white,
forcibly entered the polling place and
threatened immediate personal violence
upon the inspectors, Messrs. w. HI. Law
son, Morgan s. Gilmer and John Ingram,
If recount was not had and the box de-
livered to them. These men were backed
by a riotous mob of fifty to seventy five
negroes, who crowded the doors and win
dows. Belser and the other white men
said they would have different result
and the boxes or blood. But 1t is not be-
lieved the white men who entered the
polling place sanctioned the riotous con-
duct of the negroes. Believing that they
would be murdered, and after much
cursng and more threats from the white
men, the inspectors informed them that
fair election had been held and that
the result was correct and legal and
further told them that they did not pro-
pose to have any difficulty about the
matter, and to avoid any trouble that the
Belsers and the mob could have the
boxes. AS soon as they found that they
could get the boxes they declined to take
them, and thereupon the inspectors deliv-
cred the returns to the proper returning
officer, Mr.. Sam Solomon, who was not
molested in delivering the same to the
sheriff.
The count showed Belser to have car
ried the box by a liberal majority. The
authorities will look into the after.

THAT MOORE TROUBLE.
The Governing Committee Is Still at Work
investigating the Moores'
Properties

Chicago, Aug. 6.-The governing COM
mittee of the Chicago stock exchange
held a meeting this afternoon, but ad-
journed subject to the call of the secre-
tary without accomplishing anything to-
ward the settlement of the Moore Bros.
tangle or the opening of the exchange.
Just when affairs will be Strengthened
out no one can yet tell.
The subcommittee has been comforting
from day to day with w. H. and j. H.
Moore, but the committee desires to have
complete information In Its possession
and awaits the results of the Moore nego-
tiations with local and eastern bankers
before submitting a report to the gov
erning body of the exchange, which could
be given to the press.
j. H. Moore said today that he had
nothing new to say, except that their
affairs were progressing favorably.
President Jameson of the stock ex-
change said This subcommittee was
appointed to investigate fully before re-
porting, and that kind of work, involv-
ing so much property not in the best of
shape, cannot be done thoroughly In two
or three days. We don't propose to re-
port what we have done from day to day.
Moore Bros. have given us every facility
to examine their properties, and the
prospects are favorable for speedy set
tlement of the trouble"

accomplish the end which at last has
crowned your efforts. To the noble

Ocala, Fla, Aug. 6.--The state populist
convention which met here yesterday ad-
journed this morning after naming the
following candidates: For governor A.
A. Weeks of Walton county; secretary of
state, j. T. Keller of Volusia ;comptroller,

Frank Harris of Tampa; judge of su-
preme court, D. L. McKinnon of jack
son; superintendent of public instruction,
o. NJ Williams of Osceola; commissioner
of agriculture, J. H. Richburg of Santa
Rosa.
The platform indorses the declaration
of principles adopted by the national con-
vention at st. Louis and then considers
state affairs at length, denouncing the
democratic party for the manner in
which it Is conducted. A resolution was
offered to the effect that if Sewall did
not withdraw in thirty days s. F. Nor
toms name should be substituted for
Bryan. After much discussion the reso-
luton was withdrawn and the following
adopted: 'In accepting Bryan, the DEM
ocratic nominee, the populist party has
done all that reason and justice can de-
mand. We desire a union of all reform
ers and a failure by the democrats to
withdraw Sewall and substitute Watson
places the cnuS of possible defeat of re-
form forces upon the democratic and not
upon the populist party"
In combating the resolution demand
ing Sewalrs withdrawal s. S. Harvey,
leader of the party and delegate to st.
Louis said some populfstS walked SO
straight in the middle of the road that
they gradually leaned back and fell over.
Mr.. Harvey asserted positively that Wat
son would withdraw. Harvey said he
knew whereof he spoke, as he had been
consulting populist leaders in several Of
the southern states.

nominated the following candidates: For

the committee ON resolutions, which SUBJ
mitted platform indorsing the national
populist code of principles, severely ar
raigning the republican state administra-
ton, demanding the enactment of a max
lature. sr
The committee in its report neglected
to mention the populist nominees for
president and vice president. This was
noticed by the middle of the road ele-
ment and engendered a. fight on the ques-
tion of indorsing the candidacy of Wat
son for vice president. After q stormy
debate the names of Bryan and Watson
were injected into the resolutions and
kilograms were ordered sent to the pop
ulist state conventions of Texas, Geer-'
gia. Pennsylvania and Nebraska notf-
flying them or the action taken. This
was done at time when 1t was known
that the convention in conference COM
mittee appointed yesterday had reached
an agreement with the democratic COM
mittee, which practically accepted on be-
half of the populists the pr oposition
made by the democrats to name the
presidential electors and the populites
