The Pauls Valley republican
club got into a row over the ap-
pointment of a local deputy United
States marshal. Representatives
of the two factions started for Ard
more on Sunday to get the ear Of
Marshal Hammer. The smallpox
quarantine required them to get
off the train at Berwyn, from which
one party drove 10 Ardmore.
The other party telephoned to
Ardmore to the quarantine officers,
who stopped the travellers at the
edge of town and refused to let
them enter. The appointment Of
the deputy is still in the air.

ruled with an iron hand.
The roll wac called amid a ST.
lence which was almost painful.
The clerk called distinctly, and, as
a rule, the members voted in q dis
tlnct voice.
The only incident was the at
tempt Of the clerk to pass Senator
Patterson's name. He did skip
the senator from Pike, but his at
tention was at once called to the
fact, then he had to back up and
give the statesman chance to &c

The vote on the question: "Shall

Four Democrats voted for the
bill and nine Republicans against
it.
There was little surprise over
the vote of Senator Elmer, as it II
known that the saloon men ol
Cleveland threatened to boycott,
his pies il he did not vote agains,
the bill. Elmer is the manufact-
urer of Paynos pies and sells 4
great many Of them through the
saloons. The church people say
they will not buy his pies now, but
the saloon trade on pies is large
and the senator evidently had ar
eye to business.
Ic had been supposed all along
that Senators Hurst and Roger
two Democrats, would vote for the
bill, but they lined with the op
position, and Senator Brorein, who
acknowledged that the bill Is .
good one, said that his people die
not want it passed and would moi
sustain . man who would vote fol
it, 80 he, too, voted no.
There was some applause when
the announcement of the vote wa.
made, but the bill will not be
heard OF again this session.

THE HOUSE Repu blicans earned

nor one of the extent and burden of

sue between justice ard injustice
and that there Is as much injustice
in delay as in imposing duty. The
memorial addressed to Congress by
the merchants Of Porto Rico makes
this statement: THE fact cannot be
disputed that our people are in sore
distress. All commerce is now ham,
pered. The investment Of capital is
stopped. Our farmers have not the
means to plant or to gather crops.
Building and improving are imped-
ed. Capital refuses to come here for
investment in either manufacturing
or agricultural pursuits, for the
reason that the sovereignty Of the
United States over this island has
deprived US of free trade with Spain
and with Cuba, which formerly took
our exports at fair prices and en-
abled us to live. We now ask as a
right that free trade with the United

-Four Hundred Acre
Peach Farm sold by Athens Parties In
Hooking County.

Or. w. N. Alderman and Judge
A. 8, Bethel of this city have dis
posed of their interests in the large
peach farm in Starr township,
Hooking county, to James Dew Of
Nelsonville, who formerly held q
third interest In the farm.
This orchard is an immense one
and covers about 1926 acres, contain
ing something over fifteen hun
dred trees. The land is located q
short distance from Union Furnace,
and is considered one of the best
locations for peach raising in this
part Of the state. One or two ex-
cellept crops have been harvested
from the orchard.
1t is feared, however, that the
peach crop this season will be al.
most complete failure, as many
buds taken from this orchard when
examined have been found to be
killed beyond any doubt. Several
prominent fruit growers who have
been IN Athens this week have
been interviewed by reporter and
the same discouraging report is re-
ceived from them. This means 9
sad financial blow to the peach
growers of Athens county, and 1t Ii
practically the same as having 9
robber 60 down into their pockets
and take the sum of one hundred
thousand dollars or more. The
last abundant crop In this county
brought into the pockets of the
farmers and fruit growers no less
than that enormous amount men
toned above.-Athens Messenger

Easy Sailing.

The White-Sands crowd, as a
faction of the Republican party is
called in Hooking County, had
easy sailing in the Centra, Commit
tee meeting here Tuesday. When
their forces were mustered they
seemed to have more strength
than we claimed for them in our
issue of last week. The Vickers
opposition faded into oblivion, and
several that were numbered with
them admitted the total defeat and
ell in line to make every PROPOSE
tion of the White slate go through
by acclamation.
The Central Committee met at
the Court house at l O'Clock, and
was called to order by Chairman
Dennison. He named the first
thing In order to be the selection
Of a Chairman for the ensuing
year. Will Stone nominated DR..
Blosser. DR.. Dennison read the
handwriting on the wall, and gave
no chance for other nominations,
but called the vote for Blosser by
acclamation. He was chosen un-
animously as was Lit Huls for
Secretary. DR.. Blosser not being
present, John F. White holding his
proxy assembled to the chair, and in
behalf Of DR.. Blosser, thanked the
committee for the honor.
Senator White then moved that
the committee 60 into executive
session. The motion carried.
Evans kicked for q division vote,
but the Chairman held that the
motion had been declared carried.
The Committee then retired to the
Sheriff's Office.
In the committee rooms every
thing was done by acclamation.
The states for the Executive Com
mittee and DeleRat to the differ
ent conventions went through by
acclamation without hitch.
l.averty, of Sand Run, tried to
break the slate for Congressional
Delegates, by moving to strike off
three names and substituting the
names Of Vickers, Keynes and
Campbell. His motion lost with
roar. He then left the Committee
room. Evans kicked on every
thing that was done but his kick
fell like the barking of a pup at the
heels of an elephant. Dennison
was allowed to 70 on the Execu.
tive committee for the part he
played in declaring himself for
Blosser. The others OF the execu-
tive committee are right out of the
hot bed OF the Sands. White crowd.
The selection Of Blosser for Chair
man Of the Central committee was
q direct slap at DIR. Campbell,
whom Blosser succeeded on the
Pension Board. Mckay will prob
ably be chairman OF the Executive
committee, because he was turned
down as its secretary by the Wick
ers people last year. All this is
gall and wormw0od to the defeat
ed ones.

ti0n.

tion are as follows and any body
