The Lavinia's Camp meeting committee
of last year built nice and commodious
boarding tent, which was, and yet is, a
credit and an ornament to the genius of
that management. Now, would it not be
a grand idea for the present one to build
sheds, or something of the kind, to shell
ter teams? "Uncle Johnny" is just now
at leisure and wosld like to get into the
camp meeting construction corps, proYid-
ed there is anything in it; and, if there is
nothing visible possibly, "Johnny" can
evolve something out of it. He generally
does.
1t will be remembered that in the
spring an agreement was entered into by
the merchants to close their stores at s

orally expected it would; and each one
closes now when he pleases. 1t has been

ganized in Milton, that could hold the
people from backing; and that is the
Building and Loan Association. There

EIk Point 81, Akron o.

The first game Of foot ball for this
season was played on the city park
Friday afternoon last between the
strictly high school teams OF Akron
and Elk Point. AS this was the first
game under the new rules a great deal
OF interest vas felt to see how they
would affect the game, as we'll as the
natural, local interest in the home
team,
Elk Point took the south goal and
kicked off to Akron. After three
downs Elk Point got the ball aud in
three minutes of play Eslick made a
fine end run across Akron's goal line
for the first touch down. The try for
goal failed and Akron again put the
ball in play. In the first half of 20
minutes Elk Point made no less than
six touchdowns by good team work
and end runs, Akron failing to get her
ends out for good defense. The first
half ended with the score 81 to 0 in
favor OF the locals.
The second half transferred the play
ing to the south end OF the field, which
was muddy and slippery, which
materially aided In keeping the score
down. Elk Point made 20 points in
this half, Akron never having any
show for scoring at any stage of the
game. la this half, Bryan, Elk Point
husky full back, secured the ball from
Akron's kick off and carried it clear
across Akron's goal line on single run.
Comfy played a good game, max ing
gains with the ball as well as playing
his part on the defense. Mahan was
another handy man, while Sharon's
signals kept Akron guessing ell the
time. Akron was considerably heavier
than Elk Point, showing that good
team work and thorough knowledge
of the rules will give the advantage to
brain instead of Drawn every time.
The Elk Point lineup was as follows
Goss, C; Tolefson, rg; Mahan, rt;
McGrath re; Barr, rh; Sharon, qb,

that the senator will be in the race for

his county back of him. In the spring

made to meet them. Deducting this
amount, and the balance in his favor
would be 1871 1886.
The state has been growing rapidly
since the days of Lee, both in wealth
and population, and the demands upon
the state treasury have increased In
consequence.
''ln 1899, under Lee, the total assess
ed valuation of all property was
1858, $50, i'll. In 1905, under Elrod,
the total assessed valuation had in.
creased to $2l9, ,647,674. The state
expenses have not kept up with the
increase of valuation. II the entire
sum appropriated by Lees legislature
had been raised by direct taxation, the
average annual rate would have been
4.05 mills on the dollar. If the entire
sum appropriated by ElrOd's legislature
had been raised by direct taxation, the
rate would have been 3.9 mills on the
dollar.
"These figures, however, do not
wholly reveal the situation. During
Gov. Lees administration several new
institutions were created, for the
maintenance of viii ch he did not have
to provide, but for which Gov. Elrod

Here then we have the total sum of
$348, 800, demanded of the Elrod ad.

ones which was not required of Lees.
Deducting this sum from the net cost

ment roll has increased more than
sixty million dollars.
Nothing hare stated is intended to
reflect upon the commendable efforts of

DEMOCRATIC CAMPAIGN THUNDER.

"In their strenuous efforts to develop
a campaign issue in this state, our dem
ocratic friends have hit upon the com
parative expense of conducting the
state government under Andrew E
Lee, democrat, and under later
republican governors. The latest form
OF the declaration is Gov. Elrod' 3
administration cost the state 81, ,225, 900.
more than did the administration of
Andrew E. Lee
This statement is not true. On
the contrary, it is a gross exaggera-
tion, and while it is scarcely necessary
to use good space to refute a demo
cratic calumny, the proposition may as
well be disposed OF one time as another.
Therefore we append the actual
total appropriations made by the
Legislature of 1899 for the biennium
ending June 30th, 1901, under Gov.
Lee, and the appropriations made by
the legislature of 1905 for the biennium
ending June Both, 1907, under Gov.
Elrod.
