A SHARP TRICK.
Democratic Candidates Trying
to Entrap Republicans.
Want Them to Vote for Them at the
Democratic Primaries, so as TO
Get Them on the Ticket---Re-
pubIicans Would be Dis
qualified at Their Own
Primaries.

Deputy Sheriff Francis S. Bradley, a
shrewd Republican politician, calls the
attention of Republicans to letter be-
ing sent out by Democratic candidates to
their Republican friends asking them to
vote for them at the Democratic pri-
maries saying that it is only party
affair and that they can assist them
greatly in getting them nominated and
that it will have no effect on the elec-
tion.
Mr.. Bradley says the Republicans
ought to be warned not to vote at the
Democratic primaries. These primaries
are for county officers and State dele
gates, all in one. If Republican should
vote at the Democratic primaries for
even delegates to the State Convention
only and not Tor county officers he would
be disqualified to vote at any NOR. pri-
maries and 80 would be unable to vote at
the Republican primaries.

EFFECTIVE FLOOD GATE.

mel; an oak log ten to fourteen inches
in diameter is fashioned like a wind
lass and attached to the posts, as
shown in illustration, with clamp
bands made from heavy iron and fas-
tened with lag screws to posts. The
roller is then bored rull of two-inch
auger holes, the desired distance
apart, to receive the tickets, which
are split from tough oak A weight
shown at A completes the job. This
weight is intended to Keep the gate
always in an upright position, and
should be placed upstream, i. e., above
the fiood-gate. When heavy freshets
are in evidence, the force of the water
raises the weight and allows easy pas
sage of water, driftwood, etc. and as
the water subsidies the weight settles
back, leaving the gate in proper posi-
ton, where hogs cannot root it out
nor other stock trespass into adjoin-
ing fields. The weight must be made
to correspond with height and weight
of gate. If the weight be too heavy,
so that the force of current does not
open it, saw a piece off of weight.
Only actual test will determine this.

line of the water.-George w. Brown,
