DISpENSARY MANAGERS.
Annual Election viii Occur on First
Tuesday in October.

On the first Tuesday in next month
the board of dispensary commission
ers will elect managers of the several
dispensaries in the county for the en-
suing year.
= The present managers are j. c..
Dozier at Dawson, H. E. Williamson
at Bronwood, j. T. Thornton at Par
rott and VIM. Mount at Sasser. These
are all capable men and have filed
their positions very satisfactorily, and
so far as is known now will not have
any opposition for reelection.
An interesting question, however,
that the board of commissioners will
very probably have to decide is
whether they will employ the mana
gers for a full year, or elect them
subject to the result of an election on
the dispensary, if one is held.
There is not much doubt that the dis
pensary will be voted on in the next
few months, and it is possible that the
election will be held as early as De-
ceTnber

STRICKEN IN PUBLIC ROAD
FRIGHT CAUSED BY SWOLLEN
CREEK WAS FATAL TO LADY.
Was En- Route from ParrOtt to Plains
to Visit Relatives and Succumbed
to Attack of Heart Trouble.

Mrs. David Slappey of Florida
died suddenly in the northern part of
Terrell county a few days ago OF
heart trouble.
Mrs. Slappey had been on a visit to
her daughter, Mrs. Mccain, OF near
PARROT, and, in company with a
grandsons started by private convey
ance to Plains to join her husband,
who was visiting relatives there. Upon
reaching Kinchafoonee creek, at Halls
bridge, it was found that the stream
was considerably swollen by reason
of the recent heavy rains, and the
boy left his grandmother to see If the
creek could be crossed in safety.
When he returned he found that Mrs.
Slappey had lapsed into an uncon--
scious state. She was hastily moved
to a nearby house and physician
summoned, but she died in short
time without regaining consciousness.
Mrs. Slappey was subject to heart
trouble, and it is believed that the
attack which caused her death was
brought on by the excitement and fear
experienced at the creek.
The deceased was about 10 years
of age. Her remains were Inferred in
the cemetery at Parrott.
Mrs. Slappey, with her husband,
formerly resided in Terrell, and had
many friends in the county who will
regret to learn of her tragic death.

GAMBLING STOPPED
BY GOVERNOR FOLK OF MISSOURI
How He Upheld the Law in the Face
Of Fierce Opposition-RaId that
Closed Delmar Race Track.

Among other laws passed by the
Missouri Legislature which had the
active opposition of the corporations
at long range, was the law prohibiting
race track gambling and making II a
felony. The st. Louis race track
known as the Delmar track. was one
of the most active gambling places In
the country, and the telegraph com.
panies sent the reports of the Delmar
races all over the land. turning a
pretty penny thereby. The track was
outside the corporation at St. Louis, in
st. Louis county, where the governor
seemed to have no power to enforce
the law.
The Delmar people kept on racing
and gambling. Local sentiment in St.
Louis county was with them. and nat
urally the local officers were in sym

Senator Patterson Leaves Democrats
on Treaty Question.

Washington. - Democratic senators
perfected Saturday what they believe
to be a perfect organization to defeat
the Santo Domingo treaty and place
the minority in position to compel a
strict party vote on other questions
likely to arise during the present ses-
sion. Two resolutions were adopted
at caucus continuing five hours,
which the Democrats assert not only
will dispose of the DOMINICAN treaty,
but will furnish the precedent for de-
manding united party vote on all
questions that may be considered par
tisan in their character, when two
thirds of the Democratic senators so
decide. The resolutions follow:
Resolved, that the Senate ought
not to advise and consent to the treaty
between the United States and the re
public of Santo Domingo, now pending
before the Senate.
"Resolved, that if two-thirds of the
caucus shall vote in favor of the fore
going resolution, ii shall be the duty
of every Democratic senator to vote
against the ratification of the treaty.
Those who were absent from the
caucus were Berry, Clark of Montana,
Gearin, McLaurin and Stone. all out
fore the vote was taken. Teller voted
for the first resolution and was eX-
cused from voting on the second, and
McEnery and Taliaferro absented
themselves without explanation.
The first resolution was adopted by
a vote of 81 to !, Clark of Arkansas
voting in the negative. The second
was adopted by a vote of 90 to 4, Clark
of Arkansas, Daniel, Foster and NAL
lory voting in the negative.
The position of the absentees on
the treaty as represented in the caucus
gives twenty-nine against the treaty,
with the position of Clark OF Arkan-
sas, McEnery, Patterson and Talia-
ferro not known save for the public
expression of Patterson in the Sen
ate in favor of the American policy.
Mr. Patterson declined TO make any
explanation of his leaving the caucus.

ence.
Superintendent Tingle, as soon as
the spike had been driven, broke bot
tie OF aqua pura and mighty shout
was given by the many miners and
and others who were present.
No sooner had the echoes died away
than Mr. Tingle, in a speech betittins
the occasion. proceeded to christen the
new town of Wilcox. Lots will be
plated out and houses erected by the
miners of East Argentine.
