SOME of our exchanges are
saying that because the bond is
sue of 100000 for road improve
ments was defeated in the re-
cent election it means that
Durham will not have good roads.
Durham now has an income for
good roads building of about
S37,0 900 and it is expected that
the increase for next year will
run tits fund to $4,000 with
which we should go along pretty
we'll with the work as it is now
begun.

IT may be a good thing that so
many candidates are coming out
this early for Governor .Glenn's
place. Possibly many of them
will have time to reconsider and
get out of the notion of wanting

1T is said to be a custom that
no state official has been a can
didate for reelection more than
two terms. Should the present
state officials be in the race next
election they will likely en-
counter no serious opposition,
nor any other man that now
holds Office unless he decides that
he wants to get something larger.
There is little scrambling for the
job of the other fellow until he
decides to leave it.

CO.
At the time of the fire Mr.. Cheat

The Report That Springfield,
Tenn, Had Been
Burned.
ONLY WARNINGS SENT.
Excited People Ready to At
tach CredeDce to Any
Rumor.

Following in rapid succession re-
ports that outrages have been COM
mitted in other sections of the state,
the excited public mind seizes upon
everything with avidity that smacks
of an outrage or intimidation.
Early yesterday morning a rumor
became current that Springfield,
Tenn, had been visited by night
riders and burned. Diligent inquiry
failed to find confirmation and the
rumor evidently grew out of what
seems to be a fact that certain par
ties in Springfield had received
warning letters Of what would hap
pen by noncompliance with certain
demands. A gentleman of this city
who was interested in knowing the
facts in the case telephoned to his
agent in Springfield and was told
that the rumor was untrue.

Cortelyou Ordered to Stop In
terfering With Pure
Food Law
BROWNLoW IN FAVOR
Relations of The Secretary
and His Chief Much
Strained.

Philadelphia, Dec. 16.-A special
to the North American from Wash
ington, says: Despite evidences of
his disloyalty to the aims and pur-
poses Of the Roosevelt Adminstra-
ton, Secretary Cortelyou has no inn
mediate intention of resigning from
the Cabinet.
Despite the fact that every day
brings blight new instances in which
he has attempted to thwart the inten-
ton of the President, and therefore
new causes of friction, his friends
declare he will hold onto his place,
and that the President will not ask
him to resign.
The later evidence of Cortelyou's
active opposition to the policies of
the Administration is found in the
discovery that he has heen trying to
prevent the enforcement of the pure
food law, so Tar as that law relates
to whisky.
There has been friction between
the Treasury on the one side and the
Department of Agriculture and the
Department of Justice upon the 9th
er with respect to this law.
1t is asserted that in consequence
of the Treasury Departments atti-
tude of opposition, enforcement of
the pure food law and of the ruling
of the Attorney General regarding
it has been seriously hampered.
In consequence of this, the Presi-
dent sent very cvrt order to Secre-
tary Cortelyou, virtually bidding
him to cease his efferts to nullify the
law. He directed him to proceed i'm.
mediately to put into effect the rul-
ing of the Attorney General with re-
spect to the classification of whisky,
so far as that ruling can be enforced
by the subordinate officers of the
Treasury.

At CroftOn Sunday Morning
Stopped Trains and De-
layed Traffic.
NOBODY WAS INJURED.
Two Locomotives Knocked
out of Service for the
Present.

Trains were all thrown off sched-
,ule time Sunday morning by head
end collision at Crofton, the second
station north of this city, at $50.
Freight train No. 80, going north.
ran into freight No. 81 outh-bound,
but which was switching at Crofton
at the time the accident occurred.
Particulars are very meager and
hard to learn.
About all that could be ascertained
was that the engineer of No. 80 in
going down the heavy grade this
side of Crofton lost control of his
engine and it came in terrific con-
tact with that of No. 81, and by the
conclusion four cars were ditched
fAut not very materially injured.
Both engines were so demolished as
to be unfit for use and most of both
of them will probably have to be
sent to the junk pile. A triple-head-
er passed here yesterday morning,
two of them to take the places of
the ruined engines.
Traffic was altogether suspended
Sunday until 3:2O p. m. when word
was given that the way was open
and delayed trains were ordered to
move.
Passengers going south were car
tied round by way of Central City to
Russellville and then down to Guth-
RE, and vice versa. Later the Elk
ton train made runs from Guthrie
to the scene of the accident and re-
turned several times.

CUPID
Has About Gone Out of
Business:

Has the little love god gone out of
business in these "diggins?" Only
five marriage licenses issued in
Christian county this month. From
this record it isn't likely that many
of our unmarried folk are in danger
of suffering the threatened calamity
the old maid feared. On hearing of
a wedding that had recently taken
place she said: "Ah well, we must
all come to that sooner or later; it's
the common fate of us all,
The scarcity of weddings this sea-
son reminds us of the parson over in
Indiana who had resigned his charge.
He said: II don't think any body
here loves me; if so they haven't
said so. You don't love one another,
for none of you have gotten mar
ried. The Lord certainly don't love
you, for He hasn't taken anybody to
heaven since I've been here. Now
] am going away to preparea place
for you. am going to be chaplain
at the state prison, and will come
again and receive you, that where |
am We may be also.
If Cupid don't get busy he will
lose the golden opportunity of the
season.

CRIME TO HONOR IOWA DIVORCE
Jurlst Says Woman Who Recognized
One and Wed Again Is
Biua,nist.

New Haven, Conn, June 3.-Judge
Robinson Of the Connecticut supreme 3
court is not content with merely dis
regarding Iowa divorce DEGREES. He
has just sent word to Mrs. George
Crane of Usage, Iowa, that she is q
criminal for recognizing one. The
ruling of Judge Robinson sets forth
that Mrs. Crane is guilty Of bigamy.
Mrs. Crane, then Miss Edna Carter,
came here from her home in Usage in
1902 and married Herbert N. Platt, an
inventor. Within three months they
quarreled and Mrs. Platt went hSme
to Iowa.
Platt learned last fall that, she had
secured a divorce from him in 1904
on the ground of desertion, and had
married Crane. He looked up the de-
cree and found that there was no
claim that he had been served person
oily with notice of the divorce, and
that the only advertisement 1t receiv
ed was in an Iowa newspaper Of small
circulation. He brought suit against
her last December on the ground that
she had committed bigamy.
Judge Robinson's decree uphplds
this claim and makes Mrs. Crane lia
BILE to arrest and a twenty-year term
of imprisonment In case she enters
Connecticut. Mrs. Cranes friends say
that the Iowa courts will take hand
in the case and will make trouble fol-
Platt.

New York. June 3.-New York yes
terday experienced the coldest Sunday
in June which was ever recorded here.
A stiff breeze. accompanied by rain,
brought chill to the crowds in the
streets and they were practically de-
serted late in the day, when the rain
turned into snow, adding a mid-winter
touch to the dihmal day. The brunt
of the storm was felt in the Bronx,
where frame house, trees and fences
were blown down.
AS a holiday the Sunday was lost

ventured out. A week ago 100000
persons visited Coney Island, but yes
terday the place was deserted. For the
first time since the resort was estab-
lished not a boat put out for Coney

MlTTING CHILDREN TO MARCH.
NINE SURVIVORS
ALONE IN PARADE
IN PUBLIC LETTER ON OF THE.
VETERANS FEELINeLY REFERS
TO THE LACK OF PATRIOTISM
OF MYSTIC CITIZENS

Inc civil war veterans and the
school board of Mystic are at war over
the alleged refusal of the latter to
close the schools on Memorial day and
permit the children TO march in the
parade. The veterans claim that the
school board went so far as to threat
en- to suspend the wages of any teach
er VINO would dismiss the pupils to
participate in the ceremonies planned
for the day.
Memorial day was tinged with sad.
ness for the veterans of Mystic, But
nine In number, in previous years they
nave been joined by scores of school
children In their yearly march to the
cemetery to decorate the graves of
their departed comrades. But not so
TINS year. The nine members march
ed alone.
One Of the surviving nine veterans
IN letter to the Courier in which he
complains of the action of the Mystic
school board and the apathy of the
Mystic citizens says:
Decoration day was a very
quiet day here The morning dawn
ed cloudy and gloomy and as the OLD
soldiers gathered at tile place appoint.
\
ate the graves of the dead comrades
only nine gray headed men who had
answered the call of their country
when she needed them were present to
pay tribute to their dead For the
first time in the recollection of any of
the nine men present, the school board
had refused to allow the school chill
dren to march with them, threatening
to dock the teachers If they closed
the school that day. And as the boys
in blue marched down the street 4
the beat Of the drum and found not a
flag floating over a business house or
school building, no wonder their hearts
were saddened and they wondered II
patriotism was dead and the people had
forgotten how the "old boys had
fought for the dear old flag. The first
flag to greet their eyes( except their
own) was just before they reached the
cemetery, and as they beheld the stars
and stripes floating over residence II
so cheered their hearts that they call
ed a halt and gave three hearty cheers
