A Wild Turkey Fiqht

There are turkey stories as we'll as fish
stories, ii aEyOnt should ask you, and n.
L. Bullock Dock tells the following.
and vows that it is true.
A few days ago he was not far from
Doehead, near the old racetrack back of
the Sessum field, when he saw ahead of
him two wild turkey gobblers fighting.
Mr.: Bullack stepped out into the bushes,
and crept along till he was opposite the
lighting fowls. So intent were they in
their contest that he was not heard.
With stealthy step he advanced till
he was almost upon them, and then he
made spring and caught the two by
the necks, one in either hand.
Then ensued a battle between man and
birds. With wings and feet the latter
fought, scratching Mr.. Bullocl1's arms
and tearing his clothing. With much diff
iculty one bird was carried to the
ground, where its head was crushed py
the mans foot, while the other main
tanned its desperate scratching with feet
and striking with wing. The first one
disposed of, the other soon fell an easy
victim
Mr.. Bullock says that he had no idea
how strong a turkey was before The
two turkeys were grown gobbers, with
boards nearly three inches long-Tarboro

Money in Old Houses.

A house wrecker here has discovered a
new scheme for making money. Since he
is called upon usually to tear down
houses of great age he makes it his bust
ness to inquire into the history of the
places before attacking them. When he
finds they have been occupied by persons
of historical distinction he notifies the
antiquarians of New York and they buy
the old doors, mantels, ETC., at prices that
an ordinary junk dealer would not dream
of offering. When any historic structure
like tie Stewart mansion is to be demol-
ished there is, of course, q large crowd

1898. By the middle of February I was

Lees than a year ago Republican
leaders and party organs we're laud
ing Mr.. Folk and his works and
heaping abuse upon the Democratic
party, insisting that Folk could not
be nominated. Now these same
speakers and papers abuse Mr.. Folk
worse than the veriest criminal that
walks the earth, and endeavor to
belittle and discredit his official acts,
which have made him famous the
world over. Is that Americsnism?
Is that honest citizenship The Re.
publican party Of Missouri has been
put in an unenviable position by Its
leaders and papers. 1t is said the
Republican national administration
has refused to indorse it, and when
Senator Fairbanks and Secretary OF
the Treasury Shaw came to Missouri
they ignored Mr.. Walbridge and
state issues. The great masses Of
the people Of all parties are honest
and they will refuse to be placed in q
dishonest attitude. The political
grave OF the Republican party In
Missouri has been dug deeper by the
men who control It to further their
own ends.

DENTON AGAINST GRAyESP

We congratulate ourfriend Charley
Denton on bis preferment by his par
ty in the nominationfor circuit Judge
and commend his nerve in agreeing
to the sacrifice. Templeton said,
when protesting against the nomina'
ton OF prosecuting attorney, that ne
had bean sacrificed twenty years be-
fore and thought that was his share.
But Charley has been the victim for
SO many times that he has become
esllus and permits the sacrifice
without a protest, In TACT we rather
think he likes it, and as every body
else is willing, it Is a very satisfac.
tory nomination.
Mr.. Funk, In his republican ress,
grows enthusiastic over the nomina-
tion, as new imports and new con-
verts are apt to do who do not
understand conditions fully, and
gives out a lot OF figures to show
that Charley was a great runner in
1898, in fact, from Funk's stand
point, the most popular nominee on
tine Republican ticket. 1t will be
remembered that the Populists CON-
bined with Republicans against
Graves, Denton being on both tickets.
Now let US do a little analy zlng for
Mr.. Funk's information. In 1896
the Republican and populist votes of
Bates combined, on Secretary OF
State, we're 1893
The Democratic vote 1928
A combined majority Of 565
against the Democrats, which ma.
iority Judge Graves overcame in
1898 and carried the county by 1913.
The Republican and Populist votes
combined In the whole district
gave a majority over Democrats of
40S, which Judge Graves overcame
by majority OF s21 over Denton,
thus making a difference In Judge
Graves favor OF 1929. Doesn't
sound quite so well for Mr.. Denton's
popularity, but are cold facts, which
Mr.. Funk can digest at his leisure.
At the same rate how long would it
take Charley Denton to beat Graves
In this judicial district.

PROPOSED cOKSTITU.
TlONAL AMENDMENTS

In another column we publish the
proposed amendments to the State
constitution to be voted on at tht
November election. We invite O
careful perusal oithem by our citizen:
that they may vote upon them intel
ligently.
The first amendment effects cite:
OF 100000 inhabitants and over, and
voters not effected should defer large
ly to what the citizens OF those cities
desire. So far as we can learn the
cities want the amendment adopted
The second amendment, for a refer.
endum and initiative law, has been
endorsed by the Democratic conven,
ton, In Its platform and will be sup.
ported as a party measure.
The third amendment, provides
for a special tax to furnish free
text books, has been Endorsed by
both political parties and should
carry by an overwhelming vote.
This calls for a levy OF FIVE cents on
the 500 valuation, a very small tax
to furnish free text books to pupils
of the common schools. II there Is a
remainder it shall be used for pur.
chasing books for students OF the
high schools, Our people interested
In the public schools should vote for
this to q man.
The Fourth amendment is to com.
pei railroads to furnish free trans.
poriation tolegislators, state officers
supreme and district judges, officials
OF public institutions and county
sheriffs. This looks to great many
people like an effort to hold up the
railroads. Its purpose is to remove
the pass influence from these officers
and, in our opinion, is a very doubt
full experiment at best.
The Fifth proposed amendment
asking the people to vote tax Of
four cents on the 500 valuation for
five years, to build a new state CAPT.
tol, should be voted. A just pride in
our great state should prompt US to
do this, as the old capitol building
would not be credit to aiourth grade
and Is a disgrace to
Imperial Missouri.
