BALLOT BOXES REFUSED.
Election Board Declines to Look After

New York, Nov. 10.-Aided by an
array of legal talent, in which are law
yers of great prominence not only as
masters OF their profession but also
as leaders in more than one movement

San Domingo, Nov. 10.-The coun-
try is perfectly quiet. The important
municipal elections held Nov. l, de-
Gliding which party shall conduct the
next presidential election, were or
derly throughout the republic, which
is unusual. The peace party was over
whelmingly victorious. The rumors
that revolution had broken out in
Santo Domingo probably resulted from
some wild talk on the part of irTe-

which resulted in few arrests being

ENGAGES COUNSEL TO PROTECT

PRESENT TIME.

New York, Nov. 10.-Mayor George
B. Mcclellan announced during the
day that to protect his interests in the
proceeding brought by w. R. Hearst
contesting the mayoralty election he
had retained legal coun:kl. He has
employed the law firm of Parker
Sheehan & Hatch, of which Judge Al
ton B. Parker is the head, and the
firm of Dykman & Carr. The first
named firm is of Manhattan and the
second OF Brooklyn. The mayor said
that he did not expect to be directly
involved in any legal action.

The railroad men of Austria are
poorly paid. A shunter gets about
$3.50 a year and the brakemen and
conductors 1920 and $3.50, respectively.
It is estimated that the increase of 20
per cent demanded will increase the
payrolls by $5,000,000. The men also
demand shorter hours.

police obeyed the order as Tar as they
could, but when they proceeded, in the
after-midnight hours, to the election
boards Office there was no one there
to take custody of the boxes and the
policemen were compelled to remain
in the street for hours guarding the
repositories OF the peoples votes.
Later John K. Voorhis, president OF the
board, declined to accept responsibility
in the matter pending advice from the
corporation counsel Mr.. Voorhis is
Democrat and when his decision was
made known the Hearst men turned
to Charles w. Page, Republican
member of the board, but he also de-
clined to act and then the police were
left in the strange position of trying
to carry out the courts orders but un-
able to do SO. The street in the
vicinity OF the election board Offices
presented a strange sight, as hundreds
of policemen stood on guard around
the patrol wagons and other vehicles
in which the boxes had been conveyed
from the various precinct station
houses.
Reason for Courts Order.
Mr.. Hearst's order was obtained
from Justice Gaynor after the circula-
ton Of story that a printing firm had
been turning out large numbers of fac
SMILES of the official ballot and that
these were to be marked for Mcclellan
and placed in the ballot boxes in
place OF Hearst ballots to be removed.
The moment this rumor reached the
Hearst headquarters it was decided
that the ballots ought not to remain
longer in the stationhouses and the
applieati to Justice Gaynor was
made as quickly as the papers could
De drawn up. .. ..-.
Among the attorneys aiding Hearst
is William NJ Ivins, the Republican
candidate for mayor in Tuesdays
election. Mr.. Ivins volunteered his
services to Mr.. Hearst and the offer
was accepted Another attorney act
ing for Hearst is Judge John F. Dillon,
who was at one time judge OF the
supreme court of Iowa.
President Voorhis said that even if
the legal decision should be that his
board must receive the ballot boxes
he would have them sent under police
Suard to some storage place other than

AFTER TOBACCO TRUST.
independent Dealers Say il is Violating
the Law.

The Independent Tobacco Dealers
Association of Chicago claims to
have discovered through it's secret
bureau Information that will lead it
to take steps to have the tobacco
trust investigated by the Federal
authorities when 1t shall have indis-
putable evidence of the things which
have come to its knowledge. 1t
claims to have discovered also by
chemical analysis, that the trust is
using material positively injurious
to health in it's manufactures.
Tobacco experts have been en-
ployed by our association for some
time to Investigate this matter thor
oughly," said the head of the pub
licity department of the Independ-
ent Dealers Association. I'VE have
endeavored to ascertain the cause of
complaints made by consumers in
the habit of smoking these brands.
1.-THE astonishing result of the ex-
perts was that out of seven different
brands five were found to be injuri-
Gus, while the other two contained
only the cheapest grades of young
and uncured tobacco, which in it
self is dangerous to the health of
the smoker.
"This partly explains the seduct-
i've and impossible prices made in
the trust stores on goods at six and
eight cents that are supposed to be
worth ten to fifteen cents, but in
reality are worth from three to FIVE
cents. Irrespective of these prices,
which are calculated to catch the
bargain hunter, such goods should
be debarred entirely from the open
market at any price.

Two POPULAR DARLINGTON
YUUNC LADIES SELECTED
Miss Lizzie Dean Will be Maid of
Honor and Miss Mothershead
Sponsor.
AT COMING CONFEDERATE VETERAN
REUNION.

At meeting of Madisonville
Post No. 52S, United Confed-
crate Veterans, held at Madison
vile on Saturday last, two of
Earlington's most attractive and
popular young ladies were Sc
lected to represent that Post at
the coming general reunion of
Confederate Veterans which is
to be held at Louisville in June.
Miss Lizzie Dean was chosen as
Maid of Honor, and Miss Mary
Mothershead as Sponsor. Both
will attend the reunion. That
both these honors should have
come to darlington ladies is
looked upon as a very graceful
act in view of the fact that
darlington entertained the Sec
ond Brigade Veterans so hand
somely upon the occasion of
their last reunion, held here in
September last. There is no
doubt that these selections will
receive the hearty endorsement
of all those youthful-in. spirit
veterans who attended that re.
nnion.
1t is understood that there
will be selected from the Madi-
sonvllle Chapter of the Daugh-
tiers of the Confederacy another
representative who will occupy a
place Of honor in the procession
at the reunion, together with
like representatives from other
sections of the State. 1t is an

DO you WANT FRIENDs7
You Can get Them by Being a Friend.

Be a friend To be friend one
must be loyal, helpful, true, broad
minded and generous. Your friend
has not only good qualities, but
faults, shortcomings and even de-
fects. So too, have you, says the
Lowell Herald. The fact that he is
your friend does not give you the
right to censure, publish or exagger-
ate his deficiencies 1t does not
give the right of hurting his feelings
by constantly reminding HIM of his
lapses and failures, strong men oc-
casionally make bad breakes. Weak
men are furtive and stealthy. They
cover their tracks. The weak are
proverbially censorious. They de-
light in pointing out the defects of
the forceful. To this latter they
may profess friendship. But the
profes sion is for some selfish pur-
pose. They are unfit for friendship,
whose first and most sacred duty is
to protect ones friendship always,
especially at the latter's weakest
point. 1t is a fragrant and unpar-
donable breach, not, indeed, of
friendship, for friendship must be
unknown to snch creatures, but of
right and common decency for any
one to expose unnecessarily anoth-
er's fault or reveal that which he
came to know in confidence.
1t is, however, done every day.
The fellow who "knows it all'' has
always "semething good" to tell.
His neighbor has made mistake,
fallen victim to culpable practice
or habit, met with loss, suffered
some family misfortune. The foul

tongued "knows-it-all' must give it
away. "The better-t han-anybody-
else' chap hears person, believed
to be his friend, praised. He admits
that the party named is all right
enough, "but''-Too bad, of course.
Nobody feels it more keenly than
the "better than anybody else" fell
low. The party IN question is his
frIend-"but"- The person thus
maligned may be at the very time
serving the maligner to the best of
his ability, putting shekels in his
Golfers, obtaining honors he does
not deserve. The fellow that knows
1t all'' and the fellow "better than
anybody else" cannot be a friend.
Friendship is not for narrow, self
seeking souls. Friendship" says
Junius, ais too pure pleasure for a
mind cankered with ambition or the
lust of power and grandeur An
old Scottish proverb has it right:
Friendship Gamma stand a. on ae
side" 1t takes men to form a friend
ship. 1t is unknown among the de-
generates, the untruthful, the dis
loyal, and no moral leper ever OBJ
tanned it.
Do you want friends? Be friend.

Walter Miller and children of Gale.
ma are visiting at the home of Mr..

they are there because of trouble

Monday afternoon Walter Miller
came over to Baxter Springs. and in
the evening he went out to the Pc

raise q racket. The upshot of the
affair was that he shot several times
into the house, after which he made
his escape toward Galena, with the
officers in pursuit.
The affair 10 deplorable, because
Mrs. Miller and her parents are very
estimable people, and IL has always
been thought that Walter Miller
himself was a very fine young man.
He was married to his wife only a
