LAUNDRYMEN OF TWO STATES
MEET IN TACOMA NEXT MONDAY

The Interstate Laundrymen's association
OF Washington and Oregon will meet in
Tacoma next Monday, January Is. The
states of Oregon and Washington will be
represented and about 100 delegates are
expected to be present.
The Interstate association was formed
last year in Portland, Ore. Its purpose is
for mutual protection, discussion of mat

social intercourse among the members.
Being separated as we are from the Ma

mountains and long trip on the rail
road, said the president of the Standard
laundry this morning, I'VE organized an
association of our own at Portland last Au

Upon the petition of Henry Hewitt, DR.,
Judge Huston yesterday appointed Henry
BUGGY receiver for the Washington Co
operative Mining syndicate and the Mon
tezuma Mining company. Each OF the
companies, Mr.. Hewitt claims, owes MN

employees working in the coal property OF
the company have received no pay since
November 80. q,

cause l believed it was the only thing to
do in this case"
Although neither of the companies has
been on an absolutely solid basis for some
time. the crisis was FASTENED by the death
of Captain G. w. Thompson who was
president and manager of both companies
and was on his way to the Crofton, b. ~,
smelter to negotiate for a sale OF an IN
terest in the properties to the smelter
owners when he met his death.
r. NJ. Thompson, vice-presldent OF the
Washington Cooperative company and a
director in the company stated that the
coal property held by the two companies
is worth about 100000. The Liabilities
are about 900 and the available assets
about $4,000. 1t will require about $40,

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Jan. l2.-Dr.
Dudley Allen Sargent, for 20 years direc.
the work of making his system of strength
tests universal. The system has been in
use at Harvard ever since DR.. Sargent in
vented it, and the results have been so
fsttering that he decided to educate the
physical directors and athletes Of the ma
ton in its details. He has had inquiries
from all over the world and the govern
ment is preparing to install the Sargent
system of strength tests at Annapolis and
West Point.
When asked to state the basic principle
OF his invention, DR.. Sargent said:
The object of strength test is not, to
find out how much a man can raise on a
dead lift, but to test his general efficiency
Thus the old strength test in which a
mans strength was tested by seeing how
many weights be could lift, was wrong in
that it did not test the all-around develop
ment OF man, but gave the fellow with

AS 10 WHITE PRIMARIES.

The man who would go behind
the verdict of the white men of
county, as expressed at the re-
cent primary, would not only be
defeated, but disgraced.-Fitz-

You are correct, Brother Mer-
Ger, and the same is true of Will
cox.-Rochelle New Era.
Why not true of every county

The man who kicks on the
white democratic primaries is a
man who, generally speaking,
kicks at anything and everything
that does not go his way.
The Courier-Dispatch is now,
and always has been, an advocate
of white democratic primaries.
We expect to continue to advo-
cate this plan until something
better is found. Never would
we be willing to go back to the
method pursued in some coun-
ties in the past of letting anyone
vote who claimed to be demo-
crat, nor would we be willing to
see bolter receive any suffrage

The Weather,

Fitzgerald is probably the
very center of the drouth strick.
en- belt. For several weeks the
dry weather has been general,
although pratial rains have fall
len in many sections. To the
north, south, east and west of us
the drouth has been relieved by
one or more showers while this
immediate section has been per.
petually dry. There has been
less rainfall here within the last
three months than we have ever
known for of long a time.
Notwithstanding, the field
crops have suffered very little,
owing no doubt, to the fact that
they started off with little mois-
ture and the roots struck deeply
into the soil.
Even as we write the showers
are gliding around tantalizing1y
near.

Sylvester Wins County Seat.

The contest over the court
house and the removal of the
county seat from Isabella to Syl.
vester was decided in favor of the
latter place by Secretary Phil
Cook, last week.
The change of the county seat
was submitted to a vote of the
citizens of Worth county some
time ago and the election was
carried for removal by a large
majority. The Isabella people,
however, contested the election
on the grounds that the advocates
of the removal had resorted to
unfair means at the polls. Evi-
dence was taken before a justice
of the peace and the case was
submitted to Secretary Cook.
After full hearing of the case
today, Secretary Cook decided
the contest in favor of Sylvester
and will so report to the general
assembly at its session this sum-
meV.

Stock Water Basins.

Old Probs. must have antici-
pated us and re1ented. He may
reign somewhere some of the
time, and anywhere the whole of
the time, but he can't rain every
where all of the time md that is
Henglish you know, (they have
two kinds in that country
Watts the holds so you're 'appy.
At all events, we take it for
granted, the late election, by
large majority, is responsible for
the phenomenal absence of the
Huvial element hereabouts this
season; since the whole country
from Dan to Beer Sheba has
gone punk dry and put Aqua
Fluvius out of business almost
indefinitely.
This extremity suggests the
need of artificial means of re-
lief. Farmers, naturally and
necessarily, are stockholders of
a kind, thus Irwin county is
livestock company, and it's stock,
unless watered, must suffer,
famish and die.
From our observation in other
sections around us, where the
field reservoir or stock water
basin has been implanted the
effect is admirable. They may
be constructed of good size,
round or square, and dug eight
or ten feet deep to a clay foun-
dalton and walled in by-an earth
embankment, with f1ood-gates to
regulate the contents and run off
the water as occasion requires.
Of course the ordinary sweep
well or cistern may in a measure
subserve, but usually their sup
ply is limited and they some
times fail.
These stock basins should pre-
cede the dry season long enough
to render them impervious or
leak proof and hold the water
until needed. Then, too, they
may serve a three-fold purpose,
as a water supply, fish pond,
(Which makes the water better)
and for irrigation. Their prece-
dent for success precludes ex-
pertinent.
In fact, we believe that the
benefit expected and realized
from them will not be underval-
ued, and ere another coup of the
Salamander's evaporation we
would gladly hope to see a
wholesome sprinkling of these
water dispensaries as far as
practicable in the rural districts
of Georgia's only Irwin.
