cuSSion Of the Tariff Question

The Chautauqua tent was crowded
iesterday afternoon to listen to the
peech Of the Hon. Champ Clark Of
Iissouri. Most OF those present, how
sver, were from this city. A few were
a from the surrounding country and

Democracy to attract a record break
nG crowd were not successful.
The Bluejacket band had been se-
cured, and furnished excellent music
turing the afternoon. The speaker

the tent by the band and by several
Vrominent Democrats, among Others

Ing tried to speak against storm the
evening before in Tulsa, and he made
no effort towards oratory. In fact, it
is rather difficult to become oratorical
over tariff statistics.
In beginning his speech Mr.. Clark
said he felt it was a great honor to be
permitted to make the first Demo
axatic speech in the campaign in this
end of the new state. He said that
he and the rest of the Democratic
party had been in favor Of Two sCates,
and the Republican party alone is tc
blame that there Is but one state in-
stead Of Two, whereat there was some
loud clapping from the sequoyah peo-
pie.
He predicted that the Republican
party, torn by internal conflicts, would

During the course of his speech HI
stated that a man who participated
III a primary election should be com
pelled to vote for every nominee o
the primary. This, or course, secured
tlie applause Of the yellow dogs.
Mr. Clark then went on to describe
with approval the primary system il
Vogue in South Carolina. Primaries
are compulsory and the primaries fo
all parties are held on the same day
under strict laws with regularly ap
pointed officials The feature Of TIN
law, however. that the speaker seemcG
y most to approve was the clause whicl
compels eyery man who has voted il
the primary to vote forevery NOMINEES
Of the party for which he voted at TIN

Mr. Clark then lauded the Demo

IcE WAGONS WITHOUT SCALES.
n Imposed ON Dealers IN Queens Yes
terday.


Eighty or more ice dealers in Queens
appeared before Magistrate James +.
Mclaughlin in Long Island City yesterday
to explain why their wagons were not
equipped with scales. Section 0 Of the
city ordinances provides that where mer-
chandise is vended on the streets it shall be
sold by weight or measure and that the
aforesaid measure or scale must be duly
inspected and passed upon by the inspectors
connected with the department Of seals.
weights and measures. Among the com
modities enumerated in this section which
must be sold by weight is ice. Failure to
comply with the provisions of this ordinance
lays the culprit liable 20 a fine of SOS or less.
Inspectors John sullivan and James Van
Osten searched Queens for ice wagons
carrying scales. Practically they found
none. Rcprcse natives from the CorpoT-
alton Counsel's Office in Manhattan were
present on behalf Of the city. while many
apeached integrity Of their business, didn't
even think of getting 4 lawyer. This was
the attitude Of the American Ice Company
OF Jamaica This ompan was convicted
on two counts and lined SIS on each. Louis
L. Walters got on with n fine Of S25.
Several big concerns doing business in
Queens acknowledged that they had very
thoughtlessly overlooked the matter of
eqmpping their agons with scales. They
promised to comply with the requirements
OF the law and were let of with fines OF S.
each. About thirty cases were thus dis
posed of when court adjourned, leaving
about fifty remaining for next week.
The ice men say hat blocks of artificial
ice are made Of the uniform weight OF 300
pounds each and that their men become
so expert In dividing this block up into
blocks OF lesser weight that scales are un-
necessary. The larger fines were paid
under protest. ' After having tried the
newly discovered section on Queens IL ia
said the Corporation Counsels Office pro-
poses to continue the crusade throughout
every borough in the greater city.

This company has been spending q

taken in. 1t is just beginning to pay.
Last year there wa 100000 surplus and
no dividends could be paid on common

BIG GIN BURNS IN
 LIMESTONE COUNTY
Plant Was Owned By Morris Bros. and Did the Largest Business
 In That Section.

Athens, November 5.-(Special)-One of the largest cotton ginneries in this coun- ty was destroyed early Sunday morning near Elllmont, in the northern part of the county, at which time twenty-five bales of cotton, several car loads of cotton seed and saw mill and quite a large quantity of lumber enough bagging and ties to wrap thousand bales of cotton, all went up in smoke.
 The mill and gin belonged to Hassie Morris and his brother, two of the most prominent planters in that section of the county, and it is said that the plant was set on fire by some person who had fallen out with Hasse, who runs the plant. The loss is a heavy one reaching nearly ten thousand dollars, with but little insur- anee. It is a serious blow to the farm CTS of that section, for it was the only gin in an area of several miles, and was crowded all the time. It will necessitate the planters hauling their cotton for some miles to other gins, and the loss is a heavy one to the owners. Last year this gin did the largest business in the county.
