THE TITLE CEASED
With the Death of Winnie DaYis, Says
General. Gordon.

General John b. Gordon, Comman-
der-in-chief of Confederate Veterans,
says that no one can succeed to the
title Of the Daughter of the Confed-
eracy," as it ceased to exist with the
death of Winnie Davis, just as did
the president of the confederacy''
die with Jefferson Davis. There is
universal opposition throughout the
south to the titles being conferred
upon Miss Hill of Chicago, or anyone
else for that matter. The outcome
will probably be that there will be nc

KILLED BY AN ELEPHANT.
Took Revenge on Man While Asleep.

AOOh htftMSG Olf u NAdH Nlut ASIctps
A Lincoln county exchange says
that news has reached it that George
Dilly, former Lincoln county boy,
had been killed at Ronceyerte by an
elephant.
He had been teasing a female ele-
plant and her baby, and though
warned to desist, kept it up at inter-
walls until the animal became enraged.
George and two other of the canvass
hands had laid down and gone to
sleep in the tent where the elephant
and her baby were. While they were
sleeping the animal managed to get
the chain from her leg, walked over
to the boys who were sleep, picked
up young Dilley with her trunk and
thrashed him over the ground until
he was dead, finally winding up by
tramping on him.

The Street Railway.

Articles for the incorporation of tae Pine Bluff Electric Light and Street Railway Company were filed with the county clerk and the Sec retary of State Tuesday, and the en- terprise is now practically assured fact.
 It is also an encouraging and as suring sign in that connection that the enterprise is to be under local control and management. A ma lority of the Board of Directors and officials are Pine Bluffians, making assurance doublY sure that the in terests cf the company aud local investors will be guarded and pro tected.
 This is altogether one of the most encouraging movements that has taken place in Pine Bluff in many years. It will give our people re- newed hope and our city will lake on new life. The very hum of the electric car will instill energy aud activity in our population, anu with an energy born of hope, there will be renewed efforts for new enter prises and industries.
 Altogether, we regard the enter
  prise as u new birth that will set the wheels of progress again in op- eration in this city and community, aad from the day that witnesses the completion of the plant, Pine Bluffs career will be steadily onward and upward.
 The Graphic conqra tulates the people upon the promise of an early fruition of their long cherished hopes, and the assurance Of the ae- complished success of long desired and much sought after en erprise.

WHY HE DIDN'T BID UP.
Tho Plight of a Man Who Had weals-

Tho Plight of Man Who Had Weak
 ness for Auction Sales.
 There was red flag out in front of 6 farm house up in the Swift River region in Oxford the other day when Burns was driving past the place. He can never get by an auction sale. There is something about bargain at Vendae that strikes him just where he lives. So Burns hitehed his horse and stopped on the outskirts of the crowd. He re- membered that at the last auction he attended, he bought two pod augers and an OK yoke, and this time he steel ed himself lest he might commit sim liar egregiousness. In fact he conelud- ed that he Would't bid at all.
 But when the crowd got well walked up over. Jersey heifer. Burns clipped in a bid or two, and finally got to going hard against a red-whiskered man who carried a whip in his left hand and ex- peetorated violently after every bid.
 As the contest waxed somewhat en- ergetie, Burns reached for his pocket book. His fingers ran down and down into his trousers pocket until they slid into good big hole. The pocketbook was gone. You, who have found holes tn your pockets where wallets ought to be, can. In some measure. appreciate Burnsis feelings.
 He stopped bidding, and while the red-Whiskered man, still expeetorating. was paying down an installment on the heifer, Burns pushed forward through the crowd and got the auetioneer's ear. That funetionary listened intently. Then he arose erect once more, and in his professional drone commenced:
 'eThis gentleman informs me that he has lost poeketbook containing the sum of s200. He offers the sum of $10 for it's return Now"
 "Ill give twenty" broke in a voice in the corner.
 Thirty" cried another
 "Thirty-fve, came in determined tones from the red-whiskered man.
 That was beyond what I could af- ford" says Burns, and so I came away and left them bidding on it.

On Friday of this week the change
in the Lewistown land office takes

will surrender the trust which they
have held for the past four years to
Edward Brassey and l.. w. Eldridge,
who will assume office as register
and receiver, respectively. 1t is but
just and due to say that the retiring
officers have filled their responsible
positions with honor and credit to
themselves. Their decisions in land
cases have been governed by their
best judgment, free from personal
favors and pecuniary gain, and they
retire with the consciousness of hav-
ing done their duty well. The new
officers are well known to the people
of Fergus county. Mr.. Brassey has
already gained a good knowledge OF
the land business, and his int elligent
grasp of the intricate features of the
land laws will insure competent and
thorough work. While Mr.. Eldridge
has had less experience than his asso-
ciate, he will quickly adjust himself
to his new duties. Both are popular
and accommodating gentlemen, and
the public will find them model Off

THE sHEEP-SHEARINd PLANT.
The Machines Now In Operation on Boyd
Creek, Below Town.

The Lewistown and Maiden road
had fair time appearance last Sun
day owing to the number of people
who took the occasion to visit the
strengthening plant on Boyd creek.
ALTHOUGH everything was not run
ming as smoothly as it will be later
On, visitors were enabled to get II
good idea of the process OF removing
the wool from sheep.
Through the kindness of Mr.. Dom
aid Fowler, who is in charge, the
ARGUS reporter was given some facts
i'm relation to the operations OF the
plant. The building, which was
erected this spring, is 1S0x3l feet. On
one side is the yard and sheariDg
pens or booths, into which the sheep
are driven and caught. Down the
full length OF the center of the build
| ing extends a revolving shaft, to
which, in front OF each booth, is at
tached the shears, an S-horse gaso-
Iline engine furnishing the power to
move the shears, or clippers, as they
might properly be called. These clip
pers are constructed much like those
BARRIERS are now using, only the little
blades move much faster propelled
by an engine. OF course, man is re-
|quired to handle each pair OF shears,
which he simply directs over the car
cass OF the sheep. The wool is thrown
|out in front of the booth to be cart
led away for packing. The speed at
ftained so far is not equal to hand
|shearing, though Improvement is be-
ling made in this particular nearly
every day. The chief and important
kgain is the saving of the wool-clean
work. After the men become used to
|the shears and the plant gets to run
ming smoothly it is thought an aver
|age of 100 to 125 can be shorn in
day.
Those who have already had shear
ling done at the plant are as follows:
Mcdonald Sheep Co., 4,429; Fergus
Live Stock Co., 1923; E. p. Chandler,
,737; Fergus & Sons, 3,6lS. Most OF
the above We're by hand shearing,
the machines being delayed. There
are between 10000 and 10000 to be
shorn by the machines, and the work
will require several weeks. Twenty
Eight machines will be i'm use.
There were some fine records made
lin Misunderstanding last week, of which
we give a few samples: ID. b. Green
wood, lS6; w. w. Davidson, Isl: B.
e. Davidson, $50.
