The non-partisan people of this
county have issued a circular asking
the support of the voters for their can
didates. There is not a man in their
organization that has so little manhood
as to be willing to sign the effusion
issued by them for campaign purposes.
They ask republicans to scratch the
republican ticket and vote for non-par-
tisan candidates and even they are
ashamed to sign their names to the
request. They say that Roosevelt will
carry the county by a handsome major
ity and yet they would urge republic
cans to vote against the candidates on
the county ticket who have made an
earnest effort for the national and
state tickets in Day county. They say
in this circular .sthis is a business pro-

The pilots who bring the ships in
through the dangerous reefs which
guard the harbor of Hamilton, Bermu-
da, are among the most celebrated of
their calling. One family has held the
chief place in this respect for many
generations-th Fox family, of Long
Island. A short time ago, one of the
younger pilots, and member of this
family, was to be married. His bride
was awaiting him at the church, and
he was rowed by his assistant over to
Paget, where the ceremony was to
take place. Arrived at the church,
the rector asked him for his license.
"By Georgep' he exclaimed, 1--WE for
gotten it. He was rowed swiftly
back to Hamilton, and within a few
minutes he appeared again before the
waiting crowd. Here it isl" he cried,
triumpf1antly.
The rector unrol1ed the document,
and found a license which stated that
James Fox was competent pilot and
capable of conducting ships into the
harbor of Hamilton.

at the top of his voice, he began to
brand up the oxen with his goad, un-
til they ran at utmost speed. The sol
diers thinking from his cries that the
oxen would soon pause in their mad
fight, did not attempt to overtake
him, and as soon as. he was beyond
their hearing, he turned the cattle into
the bush; and that was the last the
men ever saw of their boat.
One of the best-known of the family
was General Gideon Foster, whose
prowess, GOODNESS and intrepidity at
the battle of Lexington, won him i'm
perishable fame. Another well-known
member of the family was Abel Eos
ter, who was an intimate friend OF
Washington, who gave him an ivory
miniature of himself-a relic treasured
by descendants of Mr.. Foster. He
was present, as member of Congress,
when Washington resigned his COM
mission as commandments, and is
one of the figures in the painting by
Trumbull, depicting the scene.
1t must not be forgotten that the
most popular, as we'll as the most
profitable song ever published in the
United States was written by Stephen
o. Foster, cold Folks at Home Nor
will those who favor suffrage for wo-
men forget that Abbey, the wife OF
Stephen S. Foster, was one of the first
to advocate universal suffrage. This
was about 1885, Both she and her
husband refused to pay taxes on their
home estate, because the wife was not
permitted to vote, and this resolution
was followed by the sale of their house
for two consecutive years. Each time
it was bought in by friends, and
finally redeemed by Mr.. Foster.
