SOME PROTECTION AT LAST.

The people for over year have
seen themselves grossly imposed on
by the Democrats in Office. The pub
lie business Of the present administrs-
tion has consisted largely Of paying
salaries, buying gravel and incessant-
ly wrangling. There have been no
public improvements, and every effort
to make needed reforms has met with
rank failure. In short, the present
administration 'of Democrats has done
absolutely nothing of benefit to the
public, and has spent over $3.50, 900
of the money exscted from the tax
payers without giving anything in re-
turn but unsatisfactory service in
most of the city departments. The
public has had absolutely no protection
or redress. Money has been virtually
thrown away, and yet the city is to
day in debt, and bids fair to be much
more so by the first Of June IL some
restraint is not placed on the men in
Office.
The Republicans elected last No
vember to the board of aldermen have
taken their seats. They may be unable
to afford the taxpayers much relief,
but they can at least prevent any more
Of the didos that have been cut since
November,a year ago. II public bust
ness is to be transacted as it has been,
it will be blessing to the people IL
the four now members, who hold the
balance of power in everything that
may come up, sit down on everything.
The public knows from past experience
what TO expect from the other crowd.
The Republicans like many Of the
Democrats, are good citizens, and we
believe will do what is best for the
people. We fail to see any reason how
ever, why they should consent to the
election of president Of the board
from the four Democrats, which pres
ident would naturally feel a psrtiali-
ty towards the four Democrats and
give them the best of it, and probably
initiate against this new protection
for the people-four aldermen who
will no longer allow the injunction"
crowd to run things in Paducah.
The Democrats themselves have
thrown down the gauntlet. Last night
when the Republicans named man
for temporary chairman, they prompt.
ly put out Democrat to oppose him,
thus starting the fight. The Repubi-
cans nominated their men first last
year. and ask comparison Of the four
Republicans elected, with the four
Democrats. 1t will be readily agreed
that the Republicans are just as COM
petent in every way. just as highly
respected and Just as much to be trust
ed as either of the four Democrats in
the board. II ability and competency
are to be considered In the selection
of president of the board, the Repub-
licasn have just as much right to elect
one OF their own men as the Demo-
Gratis, and it can be safely ventured
that they will cede none of their
rights.
The talk of the "oldest memt err be.
ing given the position is all rot. There

The investigation demanded and or
dered by some of the members of the
board Of education of the charge that
some of the teachers were responsible
for the small attendance in the
schools Christmas eve will probably
not be held until next week. Most
people seem to be very much amused
at the childishness Of some Of the
members of the board who say they
have "been insulted" and want an
investigation so they can show the
teachers their resentment, doubtless
in the same childish way.

New York, Jan. 9-Jim Jeffries ID
going around the country like ship

break after break, and the end Is not
yet in sight. His latest is to spurn an
otter Of $40, 1000 for a twenty.round

realizes that he has no chance 10 get q

rounds. and that he is side stepping the
issue.
Corbett had all the better Of TWEEN
ty.round battle with Jeffries few

ably more because he grew careless
than because he was fatigued. Jeffries
needs some one to look after him.

 John Palm and Jerry Ford, two we'll known mining men, returned from the Chenoa, last Saturday af- teruoon. Both men spent consider able time ou the creeks in the new dlstlict and after a careful and con- sel vatlve estimate, as to the extent and value ot the psacer deposits, pronounce 1t cleverly talked up sta.npra In the course ot their inv1stl <,atlons they were on every creek where work was going oil, and the aggregate anu ount ot the gold tney saw amounted to $I4 ,$5 of this being al the store of Belt & Hendricks at Chenoa. The follow ing is thelr report: Pedro has shown up nothing, Smallwood and O'Con- nor, who own 6b have sunk ten holes to bedrock and have found a few colors. They have quit work. The gross output ot this claim in banning is $I. Pedro, the owner of discovery let his claim out on lays, but nearly all the lay men have quit. They found colors. Costa, the owner of "a. has never let any one pan on his claim. He claims 8cpans clear til:o. He showed 24c in prospects. This claim is tue one Ill which the boomers placed a 300 feet pays,reak, 10 feet thick, going 25c to the pan.

 The best pan seen by them on Gold stream was 1c and plenty of "skunks. !" Hines, owner of rob, has quit working. Nothing fonnd.
 Pay is claimed on 5, 6, 7, and 8. but neither Paln or Ford saw any of it, nor any one else that they knew of. The i,.nlel claim is said

 holes are t.ili of snow and no work is going on. Mccarthy has banned
 and rocked since last December
 and exhibited hardly a half ounce ot gold.
 Ciarev creek is all staked but noth- ing found. Jesse Noble one of the claim owners and friend of FOrds, stated that nothing had been found
 by any one on the creek. The $I4 in dust seen by Ford was $8 at Mo- Car thy,s, $I at Smallwoods and $5 at Belt & Hendricks store. MT.
 Ford does not dispute that there may be gold at Chenoa, built has yet to be found. The only property , that Is worth anything and that is lldepreciating daily, Is town lots.

No Boil Weevil Eradicator.
A1amance Co., N. @.

The committee of five farmers of
Texas appointed to witness the de-
m~onstration of remedies and devices
for exterminating the cotton boil
weevil and to make the award of
$4,000 which was offered by the
State for a solution of the problem,
has reported that no remedy has been
offered. There were 1852 claimants
with traps and other devices and
with plans for applying poison, for
spraying, for fumigation or for
treatment of the seed. None of them
was feasible, but the committee re-
ports that while none of the ma
chimes or remedies examined would
meet the requirements of the law I'M
der which it was acting, it is inclined
to believe that some plan will be de-
vised whereby will be overcome in
large measure the losses sustained by
the farmers from the destructive in

The Alliance in Alamance.

Editor OF Ths Progressive Farmer:
The Alamance County Farmers
Alliance will meet in the court house
in Graham on the 9th of October,
1908, this being the second Thursday.
Every AIlianceman in the county is
earnestly requested to be present.
If your Sub has gone down, come
to Graham and pay your dues and
become a member of the County Al
lance, and go back home and stir
your folks up. You can do it. We
need your help and maybe we a
help you. The outlook for the Al
lance in Alamance County is bright
er and better than for a long time.
No use for the farmer to stand
still and howl about the trust or any
thing else; the thing to do is mark
the man that does well and try to do
so, too. Look how other classes have
been benefited by coming together
and standing together. Remember
the Lord helps only those who help
themselves.
