N AyENGE BECKHAM BY PROHIBITION

representatives in congress from
those states that have gone dry"
which Will repeal the issuance of fed
eral liquor tax certificates in such
states as have voted for prohibition.
In those states the federal certificate
is easy of requirement. No questions
are asked, and the federal govern
ment, through such action, practical
ly declines to lend aid or encourgage-
ment to prohibition communities.
For this reason the enforcement of
the prohibitory law is difficult.
Bryan Not Opposed.
AS a comprehensive plank in the
democratic platform democrats de-
clare that Bryan, while not a pro-
hibitionist, is for temperance and
will not oppose it. Beckham is a
fighter, and little doubt is expressed
that he will organize the delegates to
the Denver convention, and that the
Kentucky delegation will make an
open fight against the liquor inter-
ests. AS Kentucky is now a pivotal
state, in that it is wavering between
the two parties, the demands of the
delegation Will carry weight.
AS for the election in itself, aside
from the means by which it was
achieved, congress believes it is the
gamer by the naming of Bradley to
the senate. The new senator is a
man of parts. He is a tried debater
and an eloquent orator. In the mat
ter of political astuteness he is far
and away the superior of Beckham,
whose experience has practically been
confined to his office as governor, and
who lacks the finish that years bring.
SenatOr-elect Bradley is red-head-
ed and has Irish blood. The combi-
nation is prophetic of excitement.
He loves a political row as much
as his fOrbears loved the ructiOn of
Donnybrook. He will join the ranks
of those new senators who have
kicked holes in the senate tradition
that new members are to be seen and
not heard.

SPECTATORS LOSE MILLION
Apple Crop Bought at High Figures
Remains in the Hands of
the Purchasers.

Reports received from New York
say that the spectators who pur-
chased a large part of the apple crop
of Berks county, Pennsylvania, have
lost S1,0OO,O00. Their agents went
through the country districts early
in the season and purchased the fruit
of thousands of orchards even before
it was ripe. This created an inn
preston that there was a great scar
city of apples, when in fact there was
no shortage. Many farmers held out
for higher prices, which the agents
finally paid.
The figures secured were from 60
to rs cents bushel, and it was estl-
mated that fully 100000 bushels
were purchased in Berks alone. The
agents left an equal amount of cash
in neighboring counties. One au-
thority on the subject predicted that
apples would be So a barrel by this
spring, and the spectators toward
the last paid 80 cents a bushel.
Reports from New York say that
there has been such slump in
prices that the estimate of $1,000
900 loss to the buyers is not excess
i've They pursued the same tao
tics not only in Pennsylvania but
neighboring states, and now they
have hundreds of thousands of bush
els in storage which they must sell
at a great sacrifice.
AS the season wore on dealers
everywhere began to notice that
prices were not advancing as had
been expected Shortly after the
holidays it was evident that their
hopes of doubling their money would
never be realized. They are now
working off, the fruit at sacri-
flee. They have simply gambled on
the future apple crop and lost, while
the fruit farmers are the gamers.
At some cold storage plants they are
practically giving apples away.

TWO COUNTIES WANT TOWN
ARLINGTON IS BUILT ON LINE OF
CALHOUN AND EARLY.
Been Called to Decide Be-
tween Them

tween Them.
In the growing town of Arlington,
which is on the county line of Cal
houn and Early counties, lively
campaign is in progress over the
proposition to move the county line
so as to place Arlington wholly with
in either Calhoun or Early county.
The mayor and council have ordered
an election for March "a, at which
time the voters will be given an OPP
portunity to express their wishes as
to the moving of the line, and as to
whether Early or Calhoun shall, in
future, claim Arlington.
The town lies more largely in Cal
houn than in Early, and the chances
of the former county winning the
unusual contest would therefore
seem to be the better. The advant-
age is somewhat offset, however, by
the fact that the county seat of Early
county, which is Blakely, is but a
half hours ride by rail from Airing
ton, while Morgan, the county seat OF
Calhoun, is away from a railroad
and thirteen miles distant via high
ways none too good. A strong effort
is being made by thespeOple of Early
county to swing sentiment in Airing
ton in favor of taking the town en-
tirely out of Calhoun and making it
part of Early.
1t is possible as the result of devel-
opments of the last few days that
the election will be called off entire
ly, though this matter is yet to be
decided. Several days ago petit
ton numerously signed was pre-
scented to the mayor and council of
Arlington requesting that the cleo
ton be called off. Action was de-
| layed, though a special meeting to
consider the matter will probably
be held 1t is understood that resi-
dents of the Early county side of Ar
lington were largely the signers OF
| the petition.
There is a great deal of interest
manifested in the campaign, and
should the election be held as or
dered on the oath it will be one
of the liveliest ever witnessed in this
part of the state.

4 MODEL FARM CONDUCTED
BY 4 SOUTH CAROLINA NEGRO

Edward Kirby, colored, has made
a good record in farming on small
farm near Akin, S. C. At the recent
Negro Farmers Conference held in
Akin. c. A. Marshall reported the
expenses and receipts of Kirby, and
showed that the net profits made by
Kirby on a one-horse farm were
$S54.26. There are few farmers in
the country, white or colOred, who
have made better records. The fol-
lowing was the cost of making the
crop:
Fertilizer, $211.25; rent of land,
$4,000; cost of cotton seed, $12.70;
10 loads of barnyard manure, $4,000;

A RECORD BREAKER.
Last Years Sales of HyOmei, the
Guaranteed Cure for Catarrh,
Larger Than Ever.

The merits of Hyomei (the treat
ment that cures catarrh without
stomach dosing), it's popularity and
growth, are unique in the annals of
medicine. So pronounced is the re-
lief and cure following the use of
this treatment that it has been pub
licIy recommended by leading drug
gists and physicians in nearly every
state and town in the country, with
the result that last years sales were
larger than ever.
The fact that Hyomei is so simple
and complete, and that it cures by
breathing medicated air and not
taking drugs into the stomach, no
doubt has helped to create this wide
spread and rapidly increasing army
of friends.
The way in which it has been sold
by the Dawson Drug Co. and Peo-
pies Drug Store has undoubtedly
aided greatly it's introduction in
Dawson. They are such firm believ-
ers in the power of Hyomei to cure
all catarrhal troubles that they urge
people to use it with the understand
ing that the cost will be refunded to
anyone who is not benefited by the
treatment. You do not risk cent
in testing the-healing virtues of Hyo-
mel, for the Dawson Drug Co. and
Peoples Drug Store take all the risk
of it's giving satisfaction and leave
you to be the judge.

A SEVEN MINUTE KISS.
Traffic Stopped in New York While
Two Pairs of Lips
Were Glued.

The oscu1atory art is only in its
infancy on the stage. Harlem pre-
sented a performance to mixed au,
dience in West One Hundred and
Twenty-fifth street last night that
nut Olga Nethersole, Sophit Brandt
and Mary Garden 20 times 20 days
in the shade, says the New York

At One Hundred and Twenty-fifth
street and Eighth avenue there is
an open-air transfer station. About
church time last evening two figures
appeared at a window in a hotel
nearby. The window framed a pic
ture reeking with orange blossoms
and jasmine Two pairs of arms
met each other, a pretty blonde head
rested on a manly shoulder for a
second, and the lips turned upward
in invitation.
"A soul kiss" suggested cold
footed citizen waiting for a car out
side. Il have waited for my car ten
minutes. 1t is now $40, and-they
are off"
Two pairs of lips met. Two
forms swayed. A piano tinkled a
waltz dream. A small boy snfckered.
A fat woman shifted. The corner
crowd grew and grew.
Zone minute" said the man with
the watch. They are out for a rec
ord.
The two forms nestled closer. Two
minutes. three minutes, four, i've
and six. Then seven by the watch.
The throng outside was crowding the
frankfurter man off his post. The
cop" was too busy watching the
watch to do anything else.
There ought to be heavy law
against that" said the fat woman
who had shifted. A sedate man who
had been looking on with a sour
face hurried across the street and
telephoned an alarm to the manage
ment of the hotel.
Besides" he explained, they are
blocking traffic.
The osculating couple at the Win
dow startled. They hurried toward
the door. A bell boy appeared with
note. 1t was from downstairs.
Down came the curtain with bang.
Seven minutes, fifty-six and one
fifth seconds, said the man with the
watch.
"That is-up to the drop of the
curtain"

that it will undermine the interstate
