We are very sorry that 1t Is impos-
sitle to hold an election this year on
dispersary or no dispensary. The
idea Of those who had Darlington ex-
empted from the provisions of the
Carey-COthran law was that We
should be able to hold an election ir
1907. but nc one supposed at the time
that we would be prevented from
holding the election in 1908 II that
appeared to be more propitious
time. The intent and wording Of "A
law do not always accord, anI. in
this cas-, the wording Is against an
election this year. There is no doubt
that the people are in favor Of a dis
pensary at this time and we hal hop
ed to see an end put to the farce
which has been going on in this coun-
ty for TIE past year or two.-Darling-

The Eagle man yesterday afternoon.
1t seems that in the sections referred
to a very large crop of cotton has
been made, and the producers are
throwing it on the market regardless
of prices or the effect such marketing
will have on the price. 1t is a fact
that these sections are selling cotton
all the way from * to Ac less than
Bryan buyers have been paying, and
II has now come to pass that the Bryan
buyers can't dispose of their purchases

prices of the more favored crop Sec

have the stimulating effect ON the mar

fact the Bryan market is Lice off

Mr.. Munday carried $500 insurance on

The fire is supposed to be due to a
defective kitchen fiue, and when dis
covered the flames had burst through

idly encroaching on the front of the
house. An alarm OF fire was respond
ed to with promptness on the part of

other houses situated nearby would
doubtless have been damaged or de-

Chief Hamilton had three lines of
hose laid in order to protect adjacent
buildings, but only two streams were
needed. As an illustration of the fine
work of the firemeD, it may be men,

from the point where the fire origi-
mated, was saved without damage, be-
yond a slight scorching.
While the fire was in progress

Hamilton requests The Eagle to say
that punishment is provided by law
for an act of this kind, and hereafter
the law will be fully and impartially
enforced.
