COUNTY DEMOCRATIC
EXECUTIVE Committee
A Record of the Proceedings at Its
Meeting Last Saturday

Ihe turmoil, strife and button
holing that ran riot on our streets
from Saturday morning until
noon was happily ended by 2:3O
pm. of that day, because the Ma
rlon county democratic executive
committee had by that time COM
pleted it's labors.
Owing to the enforced absence
of Chairman w. S. Bullock, who
was attorney in an important
land case, E. L. Wartmann of
Cltra was, on motion of NJ. l.
Payne, made presiding officer,
and got through with blushing
honors mantling his manly brow.
Secretary Clyatt was on deck.

The first escape of gas took
place when the proceedings of the
Linadale club. through It's chair
man, D. McCraney, Sr, and Sec
retary j. B. Booth, certified that
the club on Feb. II elected G.. A.
McCraney committeeman, q. G..
Hlgglnbotham's time having ex-
pired.
Professor Stroller said it was
contrary to precedent, and that
because, the club having slept on
it's rights, no charges had been
preferred against Higginbotham,
he was still the member.
Payne was ON his feet in a mo-
ment; his zeal extinguished the
fires In his pipe, and in true trib
une style he defended the rights
of the sovereigns of the Linadale
club to say to it's creatures, "We
made you 20 He echoed the vox
populi sentiment, and a call of the
roll didn't lay McCraney on the
table by 9 to IA. Yankee Bill
Smith moved that McCraney be
seated. Payne hedged and
amended that half vote each be
given to the contestants. Smith
declined to accept. The vote was
taken, and Smiths motion was
lost by 10 to l3.
Payne then moved that the
matter of executive committee
men be referred back to the Lima
dale club and that they settle the
matter, and that for this meeting
each of the contestants have half
a vote each. Carried, 20 to 4.
1t developed in statements
made by McCraney and Higgin-
botham that out of twenty three
votes only eight were present,
and that the reason of calling club
together was for choice of coun-
ty commissioner; committeeman
came up as an afterthought.
Mr.. Carney also took hand in
the flow of eloquence and favored
seating McCraney.

it, as his people were for 1T 100 to

Speckled Cigar Wrappers.

Some of the tobacco imported from
Sumatra for making the wrappers of
cigars has a curiously speckled appear
ance. In the minds of certain buyers
this marking is evidence that the cigar
has Sumatra wrapper. Such is not
always the case, for the artful manu-
facturer has learned how to spot
American tobacco artifically, and he
occasionally does so in so clever man
ner that the uninitiated customer never
suspects the trick.
Sumatra is a Dutch possession, and
the spotting of the tobacco raised in
that island has been made the subject
of investigation by Professor Boyer
inck, of the Amsterdam Academy Of
Sciences. This learned man presented
to the Academy a few weeks ago a pa
per in which he set forth the results of
his inquiry. He described a Giving,
fluid contagion," which he declares is
the cause of the disease. This disor-
der, also known as the mosaic disease
of tobacco leaves, may be inoculated
into healthy plants by injecting into
the stem, near bud, sap pressed from
infected plants. The active virus
passes completely through the pores of
very dense porcelain, and can even
penetrate into agar by diffusion; there
fore it cannot be 'contagium fixum"
in the usual sense, but 1t must be fluid.
Out of the tobacco plant it cannot be
made to multiply; but in the dividing
tissues of the leaf-rudiments and the
meristems of the buds it multiplies
freely and over a great extent. A
very small drop OF the porcelain filtrate
can render all the leaves of the infect
ed plant entirely covered with spots
and the sap of these leaves would be
sufficient for the contagion of an un.
limited number Of healthy plants.

LONDON, Eng, April 5.-A test case
which has excited great interest in cy-
cling was decided to-day at the Kings
ton session when Lady Harberton
charged the landlady of hotel with
having refused to serve her because
she was attired in boomers. Lady
Harberton, who is treasurer of the Ra
tional Dress League, said on the WITT
ness stand that she had travelled four
thousand miles in boomers including
the west end Of London. The land
lady pleaded that she only refused to
serve her ladyship in the coffee room
and would have served her in private
room or at the ordinary bar. She also
claimed her business would be ruined
if she was obliged to serve some women
attired in bloomers. The jury decided
against Lady Harberton.
LONDON, April 6.-With the excep-
ton of Hon. Joseph Chamberlain, CO.
lonial minister, no English statesma n
seriously considers the idea of exchang-
ing the British West Indies for the
Philippines. The public generally is
Indifferent to the project and to Jamai-
cas- woes.

TURKEY LA ROYALE.

Take loaf of bread two days old and
cut as many slices (rather thick ones)
as you have persons to serve. With
knife, or goodsized cutter, cut them
into heart-shaped pieces. Make raw
custard with one cupful of milk, one
quarter of a teaspoonful Of salt, dash
of pepper, and one egg; lay the pieces
of bread on a platter, and dip the custard
over them until they are well soaked.
Then, using q broad bladed knife, that
they may not be broken, immerse them in
smoking hot fat until golden brown, and
drain on unglazed paper. In saucepan
and two level tablespoonfuls of flour,
one-fourth of a teaspoonful of salt, and
a dash of cayenne. When mixed, add
four tablespoonfuls of strong chicken or
veal stock and four tablespoonfuls of
thick cream. Stir until thick, then add
two tablespoonful of the liquor from
can of mushrooms, 10 mushrooms, and
two truflles finely chopped (This amount
of sauce is sufficient for one pint of
cooked and fnely-chopped turkey meat)
Add the turkey meat, season with salt,
pepper and nutmeg, simmer for 10 min
utes, take from the fire, and add the
yolk of one egg, well beaten. Put
spoonful of this on each bread crouton,
and serve.

SAILORS AND SHARKS.

Two Facts Not Generally Known by Those
Unacquainted with the Sea.
"Two facts that may seem somewhat
peculiar to shore folks" said an ex-
sailor Of the navy, "are, first, that only
about one-half OF the man-o'-war's
men in our service or in any other SER
vice, in fact, know how to swim, and,
second, that sharks are the most cow
ardly of all living creatures. 1t is odd
that so large proportion of the naval
sailors don't know how to swim, but
1t is probably due to the fact that a
great number of our man-o'-war's
men nowadays come from the interior
of the country, where there is no water
for them to learn how to swim. In
the old navy-and put all of my SER
vice in in the old navy, so called-the
man who couldn't swim was, as soon
as the fact was discovered by his ship
mates, incontinently chucked over the
side when swimming call went, and he
just had to swim. OF course, the men
wouldn't let a fellow who didn't
know how to swim drown before their
eyes but they would see to it that he
made hard stab at the art of swim
ming before they picked him up. If he
didn't succeed in swimming the first
time, overheard he would go the very
next time all hands took a plunge over
the side at swimming call, and thus
all of the men serving on the old line
of packets became swimmers before
they left the service II is forbidden
to throw a non-swimmer into the water
now, but | think it would be a good
thing if the practice were still con-
tinued. The officers of the ships to-
day insist upon the apprentice lads
learning to swim, but they let the nom
swimmers among the newly recruited
landsmen go along without learning
There have been numerous drowning
incidents in our navy within recent
years, owing to the inability of men
who were otherwise excellent sailors
in the easy art of swimming.
'As to the cowardliness of sharks,
that fact is well known among men
who have been much to sea in southern
waters infested by man-eaters. The
fercest man-eater that ever bulled a
poor little pilot fish into acting as a
food scout for him will get out of the
seaway in mighty big hurry if swim
mer, noticing the sharks approach,
sets up noisy splashing. A shark is
in deadly fear of any sort of living
thing that splashes in the water Down
among the South Sea Islands the ma
tives never go in sea bathing alone,
but always in parties of half dozen
or so, in order that they may make the
greatest hubbub in the water, and thus
scare the sharks away. Once in a
while too venturesome swimmer
among these natives foolishly de-
taches himself from his swimming
party and momentarily forgets to keep
up his splashing. Then there is a sud-
den swish, and the man-eater comes up
beneath him like flash and gobbles
him.

WASHINGTON, April 6. - General

GLOUCESTER, April THE Rock
port granite cutters, and all others on
Cape Ann, are ordered to quit work by
a walking delegate O'Brien of New

that the Rockport Granite Company's

work at eight hours a day on a "a 90

labor is employed at reduced wages.

HAVANA, April 6.-The death of the
Cuban military leads General Maxine
Gomez to arrange a programme for
solidifying the Cuban people into Il
party that shall without ceasing, urge
the United States to withdraw from
the island. His purpose is to make
the people seem to have but one emo
ton, one desire--the thought of indie
pendence and of absolute separation
from the United States.
There is little opposition to re-instat-
ing Gomez as commander in chief. He
would be of great service to the United
States in the disbursement of the
$4,000, 900; but his political program
means the keeping up of agitation and
disturbance in the minds OF the people
and the weakening of American au-
thority by producing the impression
that erything done by the Americans
is temporary, and may sooner or later
be overturned. American observers
consider any such agitation as extreme
ly harmful to the industrial revival and
the restoration of Cuban credit. Some
who are high in authority and who
have exceptional opportunities of
knowing the character and ideas of
Gomez think the United States gov
eminent may have trouble with him
yet. His attitude has always been
consistent regarding independence for
Cuba, and he is still working for the
same end.

There is consolation in the intelli-
gence that the rainy season in Manila
does not begin until May. April is Of
ten dry month there, the precipitation
sometimes amounting to not more
than half an inch, and never rising
above two inches. OF course, the heat
is extreme before that time; there are
reports of the mercury at 100 degrees
already; in fact, the heat varies very
little in the Philippines throughout the
year. There should be opportunity to
do considerable effective fighting in
the month now before US. The rain
sets in pretty heavily in May, and it
increases until September. Probably
it will be severe enough during these
months TO interfere much with active
field operations, as we'll as to be very
