AFALsE REPORT.

Three is absolutely no truth in the
fish story sent from this place and
published in the Spokesman Review
of Wednesday morning, to the effect
that mob had organized to do injury
to the deputy game warden from
Harrison, Robert Wark. Mr.. Wark
was in town and some of the practical
jokers may have attempted to put up
Ii tie job on him, but so far as
there being any danger of trouble
from attempts of airy of our citizens
to resist the enforcement of the game
law, there is nothing in it. Our
people are law abiding, and most of
them would be pleased to see the game
law enforced by Mr.. Wark or some
one else in authority. People are
shooting bass at Fernan lake to such
an extent that the fly fishing is praetic
ally ruined, and pot hunters have
been killing ducks that were hardly
able to fly. If any one is resisting
the enforcement of the law it Is these
few law breakers and not the citizens.
as charged in the Spokane paper.
What this community needs just now
is a deputy who will enforcre the law !;
but we will not get it until those who
pay the licenses organize gun club
and see that the officers do their duty.
False reports, such as that appearing
in the Spokesman Review, are an in
justice to our people, who have due
respect for the law. We believe the
present game law could be very much
improved, but not by throwing game
wardens into the lake or doing Other
bodily injury.

A Washington correspondent says:
Aside from the boOdling and rotten
ness that is coming out of the depart
ments in this city, the government of
the District of Columbia is Icing
shown up just now, and it is about,
fhe most ramshackle and himsy affair,
TO be called the government of a great
city, that any man ever heard Of.
A young clerk, whose salary was
sl400 a year, was allowed to steal
about SIS, 900 in the past five years
for the reason that his books we're
never checked. His employers saw
this young man plunging at the races,
buying an interest in all sorts of
businesses, riding around in a red
devil" automobile, and playing the
high roller" generally, and yet they
never checked his books. There is
hardly a day goes by that something
crooked, something rotten, or some
thing loose does not turn up in the
District Of Columbia building. There
seems to be lust of loot, a riot Of
rapaeity and fiduciary fandango in
the capital Of the nation. Long lease
Of power hath made the republicans
money mad, and they are simply TAX
ing what they want and asking no
odds. When the people tire Of it they
can stop 1t. II Is up to them.
The Coeur d'Alene press. (Coeur d'Alene, Idaho) 1892-1907, 1903-08-08

When it became necessary TO build
a school house. in the early days of
Occur d'Alene, the TOWNSHIP company
very generously donated one lot SO y
Ito feet for the site. The town then
bought the adjoining lot from it at a
might be room for the building. If
you take into consideration the ex
treme scarcity of land in this section
at that time you will more fully
appreciate the generosity Of the dOna
ton and when you learn that the
former owner, Mr.. Monaghan, notified
the school board that he will claim
ownership of the lot unless another
school house is built upon it, you
will at once see some more of the
generosity of these people. They
have prevented the sale of the lots
and stopped the board from raising
revenue in that way; but it did do
the next best thing and raised the
school levy three mills, which makes
fifteen mills for school purposes, and
you will hear these same generous
people bowling like demons at the
action OF the board but it is detsrmin-
ed to have the best schools in the
county even though the generously
inclined do take the lot from the
district. The school board should
hold possession of the lot at any cost.
This action of Mr.. Monaghan is in
keeping with his treatment of the
public in the matter Of water and
lights.

WALTER, N. G,
Nov. 3, 1908.

Mr.. Hugh Edwards left last Satur-
day for New Hope township, where
he goes to teach one of the public
schools.
Mr.. and Mrs. Larry Overman, of
Pikeville, spent Saturday night and
Sunday with Mr.. and Mrs. George
Becton.
Mr.. S. J. Davis is in charge of the
school at Apple Jack. He comes
highly recommended as a most ex-
cellent teacher, and a thorough dis
ciplinarian.
Mr.. Geo. MCGEE, Of your city, and
Mrs. M. T. BreazeaIe, of Mt. Olive,
were out here last Tuesday. Our
latch string always hangs on the out
side for them.
We were in error last week in Civ
ing Capt. A. l.. Sassers external
remedy for ''Tick fever" The third
ingredient should have been cotton
seed oil, instead of kerosene.
Although the oat crop in u sec
ton was a complete failure this year,
our farmers are trying it again. This
is right, there is no $ to give up.
Next crop ma be a record breaker.
DIR. TAFT Butler, Of Raleigh, the
State Veterinary Surgeon, was down
here last week to see Capt. A. L..
;Sasser's sick COWS, and diagnosed
their trouble regular "EeXas fever"
which is produced by a certain form
of tick.
The school at Ebenezer opened
Monday morning with one of the
county's most efficient teachers, Miss
Dora Atkinson, in charge. She is nc
stranger to the people of this COM
munity, and the patrons of the school
are fortunate in securing her.
Our farmers are becoming more
interested in improved stock. AS
evidence of which, DR.. Crawford has
sold six full blood Poland China pigs
at SIS each, and hasn't enough to
half supply the demand. Cattle and
hog raising is more profitable than
cotton even at present prices.
Master Milton Gurley, son Of Mr..
and Mrs. T. R.. Gurley, was II years
old the first day of October, and his
father offered him 81 to pick 200
pounds of cotton that day. When
they weighed up at sunset, the little
fellow had 224 pounds. If more boys
met such encouragement from their
fathers they would not be so anxious
TO leave the farm to hunt a soft job.

THE WEATHER IN JUNE

Boyer of the Savannah Weather Bu-
reau, from the records of thirty-two

degrees. The warmest June since 1871
was that of 1888, with an average of 50
degrees. The coolest was that of 1884
1889, with an average of rs degrees. The
highest temperature was 100 degrees,
on the 18th, 1880, and 18th, in 1897. The
lowest June temperature was so de-
grees, on the 1st in 1885,.
The average June rainfall is Gil
inches. Average number of days with
OF of an inch or more, II. The great
est June rainfall was 1879 inches. in
1876 and the least was 81 inch, in 1881.

OATS TO RIVAL
WESTERN GRAIN.
Sample from Gen. w. w. GOrdOn's
Plantation Near Augusta.

Sample from Gen. w. w. GOrdOn's
Plantation Near Augusta.
Gen. w. W. Gordon, of w. w. Cor
don & Co, cotton factors, has received
from his plantation near Augusta a
fine specimen of oats, measuring five
feet in hight, and which would do
credit to the celebrated grain fields of
the West. On his plantations there
and in South Georgia, Gen. Gordon has
100 acres in oats, $50 in cotton, 297 in
corn, Is in rye, and in wheat.
The specimen bundle sent here, is
from a twenty-five-acre field fortified
with nitrate of soda. The fertilizer
was applied after the crop was out of
the ground, and had passed the danger
of frost damage. In this way the risk
was removed of losing the fertilizer by
applying it to lands in the fall and then
having the crop later killed by frost.
Gen. Gordon found the results very
satisfactory from the application of
nitrate of soda after the crop was up,
which is amply borne out by the speci-

sections.
