before the words against the removal"
etc.
The other of such ballots will read as
follows
Shall the board of super visors of the
county of Van Buren, state of Michigan,
borrow on the faith and credit of said
county the sum of sixty thousand dollars
and spread upon the various assessment
rolls of the townships of said coun-
ty for the repayment of said money,
six thousand dollars with interest
on March 18th in the year 1902, six
thousand dollars with interest on March
18th in the year 1903, and six thousand
dollars with interest on March 18th in
the year 1904, and six thousand dollars
with interest in each year thereafter un-
til the full sum of sixty thousand dol
ars is paid, for the purpose of the erection
of suitable building to be used and oc-
cupied as court house and suitable
building or buildings to be used and oc-
cupied as a county Jail and suitable
building or buildings to be be used and
occupied as a sheriffs res: dence in said
county of Van Buren,?
Yes.
Then the same statement of the propo-
sign and word below it:
.C No.
All voters who favor new county build
ings in place of the old ones now in use,
should make cross (X) in the square
before the word ''yes.".
All voters who do not want new county
buildings should make cross (X) in the
square preceding the word mo"
When we consider the great need of
respectable buildings, the ability of the
people of the county to have them and
the actual insignificance of the tax 100
cents per year on each 81 900 of assess
ment) it is to be hoped that the good
sense of the voters of the county will be
manifested by the giving of good ma
jority in favor of the loan.
The two questions are entirely inde-
pendent of each other. Should the peo-
pie vote for removal of the county seat
to South Haven, which we do not be-
lieve they will do, and at the same
time vote against the bonds, it would
make no difference about the removal Of
the county seat. The board of supervis-
ors would be compelled to order the re-
moval within a year and would be COM
PEELED to procure such quarters as they
might for holding courts and the trans
action of all county business, until such
time as new buildings could be had and
they would have to be built soon, at all
events, and without doubt at far great
er cost than the proposed loan of S60r
600.
1t follows, therefore, that all voters
who favor removal, be they few or many,
must, to be consistent, vote ''yes" on the
bond question, and it would seem as
though all who are opposed to removal.
if they have the best interests of the peo-
pie at heart, should also vote the same
way In other words, there ought to be
no great division of the people on this
question. New buildings are an abso-
Lutte necessity, no matter where they may
be located.

The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1901-02-15

The True Northerner publishes this
week map slightly altered from the
original form, in that the geographical
center" portion has been cut out. Some
people have talked so much about the
county's center that they have lost sight
of the real purpose of the map-to show
the amount of territory and number of
people within given distances of Paw
Paw and South Haven.
1t will be noted that the omission of
the geographical center" does not
change the size of the circles nor their
general appearance on the map.
AS before, there are yet within nine
miles of Paw Paw 227i square miles, or
145, ,2S0 acres of territory and ll,2O6
people.
Within nine miles of South Haven
there are but 70 square miles, or 44,SOO
acres and 8,675 people.
AS before, there are yet within II miles
of Paw Paw 34S square miles, or 222,72O
acres of territory and 1896 people.
Within II miles of South Haven there
are but 140 square miles, or $1,000 acres
of territory and IL ,93S people.
As before, there are yet within 10
miles of Paw Paw..47l square miles, or
3O1, ,440 acres of territory s.and 22,lOO
people.
Within ID miles of South Haven there
are but 2O2 square miles, or 129, ,20O acres,
and 5,J45 people.
1t will be noticed that there are 45O
more people in this county within II
miles of Paw Paw than within ID miles
of South Haven.
AS before, the average distance from
the center of the IL outside townships of
the county to Paw Paw village is l54
miles, and from the center of..II outside
townships to South Haven village is 2415
miles.
No, the absence of the geographical
center" mark from the map does not
weaken the argument! in favor of Paw
Paw, nor produce a single argument OF
any kind for South Haven.

Some people have uot yetIdiscovered
that defeat of the bonding proposition
does not mean defeat of the removal OF
the county seat. A vote against the
bonds in no way affects the removal
question. Vote specifically against the
removal unless you desire to send the
county seat to the farthest corner of the
county.

HE is BARRED FROM THE ARMY.
The Fight Against Lieut.. Crawford
Is Successful.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
Washington, Nov. 8. - President
Roosevelt has decided that a man
pointment in the army, as such con-
duct may be properly termed ungentle-
manly and contrary to the best interest
of the service. He has therefore re-
fused to appoint former Lieut.. Will
liam p. Crawford of Camden, S, c.,
a second lieutenant in the regular army
and thereby satisfied the girls friends,
who have made determined fight
against the young mans appointment.
There is nothing against young Craw-
ford on file save the fact that he re-
fused to marry the young woman 10
whom he was engaged, and there
would have been no obstacle in the
way of his appointment had she not
permitted her relatives and friends 10
protest against his selection.
Crawford served during the war with
Spain as a captain of volunteers. He
had a most creditable record and was
slated for appointment last summer as
a second lieutenant of infantry, along
with hundreds of other young officers
serving in the Philippines. He became
engaged to Miss Rebecca Douglass or
Camden, S. C. The wedding day was
named, the cards were issued and pres
ents began to be received. 1t was said
that Crawford. who was the publisher
of small newspaper in his town, told
his friends that unless he was appoint
ed he could not marry. His influence
in Washington seemed to insure his Sc
lection and plans were therefore COM
pleted for the wedding Suddenly
Crawford changed his mind and tnd1
the mother of the young woman that
he could not marry her daughter, nYc
assigned no good reason for his CHI lnge
of purpose.
Then il was that pressure was
brought on the authorities to prevent
his being commissioned, on the
grounds that if he was guilty of such
reprehensihle conduct he was not en-
titled to associate with officers of the
army. The politicians and other in
fiuential people of South Carolina took
the case up and brought it directly to
the Presidents attention A number
of the delegations recently visiting here
in regard to Federal patronage of the
state have incidentally informed the
President that they did not desne
young Crawford appointed in the army.
The case is considered by the War
Department officials as unique. and is
peileNSu 10 De the HTsL on record where
protest against the selection of an ap-
plicant fol- commissioned rank has been
Last q on precisely these grounds. Late
y the wife of a Schoolteaeher sent 70
Manila asked that the authorities pre-
vent her husband from leaiiug 'te
country but it was held that the case
was not one calling for oliolal inter
ference.
THe Navy Department is frequently
appealed to by young women who pro-
test against the conduct of sailors in

here to the we'll accepted theory that
a sailorman is entitled to have a
sweetheart in every port and that the
government cannot undertake to dis
cipline tackles who fail to keep their

OUNCES BABY GAINS A WEEK.
Eight of Them Indicates N Healthy
Condition of Body.

From the Newark News.
In every home where a baby has
come the ceremony of weighing the
child is regarded with something akin
to awe. But in the Babies Hospital.
on High street, corner of Bank, it is
one of the essential things in the treat
ment of the little ones who are taken
there from all quarters of the city to
be made well, and until the scales
show that the infant is gaining in
weight he must stay in his crib and be
treated"
On Saturday morning they have at
the hospital a somewhat unique and
pathetic ceremony. if such it may be
called. II is the weighing time, and be-
tween and s O'Clock all the babies
in the institution must be put on the
scales. Each tot is stripped of it's tiny
nightrobe. and placed tenderly in
small basket. This is laid on top of the
scales which are table-like in form.
Everything is as bright and clean as
careful hands can make it, A nurse
stands at the scales and weighs the
child, marking on a char. its exact
number of pounds and the fractions
thereof. II the little one has lost in
stead of gaining during the week it
means that it is not improving, and
frequently a change in food is made
Immediately. Sometimes the gain is a
few ounces, and that indicates that
the infant is doing well. When the in
crease reaches eight ounces a week
the patient is pronounced well, for
that is what a babe in normal condi-
ton will gain.

BIG GULF PLANT.
Capitalist VIII Establish Important
Enterprise at Mobile.

New York, Nov. 12.-The Times will
say tomorrow that the New York and
Southern capitalists who incorporated
the Gulf Coast Shipbuilding and Dry
Dock Company in the state of Alabama
has formulated plans for the establish
ment of a large shipbuilding plant on
the shores of Mobile bay, Alabama, and
a dry dock and ship repairing plant at
New Orleans.
In addition to the construction and
maintenance of the Mobile and New
Orleans plants, the Gulf Coast Com
pany has the power, under its charter,
to establish and operate wharves for
commercial purposes, to construct and
operate furnaces, mills and manufac-
lures, to charter, buy and sell and OPP
crate ships, to establish, equip and OPP
crate coal depots and coaling stations.
and to buy and sell coal and other
minerals. The securing of a large por-
ton of the ship repairing and docking
business at New Orleans is aimed at.
and ii is pointed out that the construc-
ton of an isthmian canal is counted
upon as a probability.
At the present time the nearest ship
building or docking plant to the Gulf
is at Newport News.

DORA WAS INUNDATED.

Atlanta Journal: Dora Lovelace,
colored, to-day filed suit in the City
Court against the Atlanta Rapid
Transit Company for $1,000 damages.
She alleges that on yesterday she took
Mrs. S. H. Wilson's three children
to see the parade of the Main circus
After the parade she boarded a car at
Ivy street and Auburn avenue and took
her seat in the front part of the car
with the children. The conductor.
she SAYS, told her to take her seat
on one of the rear seats in the car.
This she declined to do. The con-
ductor finally told her that he would
stop the car and put her off unless
she moved her seat. She left the car.
She asks for damages on the ground
of humiliation.

saying he was going out on business,
and would not return until late.
That is the last any one has seen OF
him. 1t is believed he took a train
for New York at noon Friday, and
from New York sailed to Europe.
A reward of $500 has been offered for
him by B. F. George. and every effort
will be made to bring him back to
Atlanta.
Six weeks ago Douglas went to Lii
thonia from Atlanta for the purpose of
conducting a revival service. He car
ried a letter from Rev. William Shaw,
Of Atlanta. He made Q good impress
sion on the people and was regarded
as strong preacher and well-edu-
Gated man. He told a story of his al
legged experience in the Galveston
flood, where he declared he lost his
only sister.
He lived at the George residence
during his stay in Lithonia, and among
other admirers won the esteem of
Miss Grace George, a pretty and &C
complished young woman.
He claimed to be directly from Edin-
burgh, and a member of the United
Brethren. Finding none of this sect
here he affiliated with the Congrega-
tionalists
The wedding to Miss George occurred
last Wednesday. Rev. William Shaw
performing the ceremony. The young
couple came to Atlanta and went to a
Forsyth street boarding house until
they could furnish rooms. On the
strength of statement to the effect
that he was furnishing rooms Douglas
secured money from his father-in- law
and various sums from others. accord
ing to the story that comes from Lii
thonia.
About 10 o'clock Friday morning he
left his wife, telling her he was going
into the city on business, and would
not return home until very late. He
advised her not to wait for him. He
did not return. and at o'clock Mrs.
Douglas went to the residence of Mr..
Shaw where she spent the night. The
next morning her father called for her
and took her to his home in Lithonia.
There is bitter feeling in Lithonia
and DeKalb county against Douglas,
and it is we'll for him that he has gone
to a distant point. There seems little
doubt that he took the noon train for
New York. and from there sailed for
Europe. The affair has created a sem
Sation in DeKalb county.
