Treasury's Condition.


 He fails to mention too that the old soldiers have received during the last hscal year, one hundred and thinty-five thousand dollars more for pensions than these deserving veterans ever received from the state before; and that at high water mark this year, the treasury had one hundred thousand dollars more than ever before, and three hundred thousand more than the high water mark in 1900 If therefore, taking him upon his own ground, Governor Johnston's administra- tion by reason of the condition in which he left the treasury, is entitled to go down in history in blaze of glory. [ ask why the administration of Governor Jelks is not, in like manner. entitled to its need of praise and to the approval of a grateful people.
 Another claim which Governor John ston advances is that he is entitled to the credit of forcing the hand of the party end securing to the people a pri- mary election. It is a cold day in Au- gust, fellow citizens. when Governor Johnston does not claim the earth. In all justice, it seems to me that he is en- titled to no credit whatever on this ac- count. Instead of being entitled to the credit for securing the present primary election, his advocacy of it is considered by many as the only circumstance which placed the question of primary, vel non. in doubt.

Influence of Press.

Governor Johnston and his immediate followers were without influence with the state executive committee, and a primary election was ordered by that committee in response to a general de- msnd on the part of the democratic press in this state and upon petition from prominent democrats throughout the state.

The dropping spirits Of the Booths
creek farmers have been much revived
the past week or two BY the appear
ance Of Representatives Of the South
Penn OH Company, who are leasing
all the territooy 10 that district At the
uniform price OF one dollar per acre
for the year. says the Grafton Leader.
When the presumptiye tests were
abandoned 8 year ago, many land
owners In that section Of the country
lost faith In the general belief that
this country is at least partly In the
oil territory. All the lessees were al.
lowed to expire and the rents were
paid no more. Now, however, the
land owners are again signing liberal
leases whereby they are getting some
thing on the strength Of the belief
that their land has oil Ia it, whether
it has ornot. The present leasers are
signifying heirintention of making q
thorough test of the field and wells
will be drilled in various places the

lieved that II wells are put down in

OF securing oil, Taylor county will be
