HOG Combine

George c. Baker in speaking of
the Swisher candidacy refers to the
Hog Combine" This combine was
formed in Kanawha county. but it
has extended it's influence through
many sections of the state and so
strong is it being felt that a general
revolt is in motion.
Mr.. Baker says:
The taxpayers of the state re-
member that time and again large
element of the party has been al
leging that there is hog com
Dine. The action of the governor
may lead many other people, to think
likewise, but whether there is or not.
let us not select the smallest. runti-
est shoat in the pen, If we have to
be dictated to. Let us rather select
the choicest and best porker I'M the
large pigstye of the party and secure
candidate for governor whom all
good decent, Christian people can
cheerfully and heartily endorse. If
this is not done. there will be such
a public reyulsion I'm our party that

ballots in the coming November cleo
lion, in the hands OF honest. virtu-
GUS independent voters. which viii

THINK POWDER
SHIP IS SAFE
Ship Broker Not Anxious
About the Good News Which
Left Wilmington

Although anxiety IS fe't in shipping
circles for the safety of the American
bark Good News. which left Whining
ton six months ago with a cargo Of
powder for Tacoma, ana has not yet az
rived at her destination. this fear is not
shared by the owner OF the vessel, VII
liam J. Granheld. a ship broker. Of
Philadelphia.
'I entertain no fears" said Mr.. Gram
field yesterday. chat al is not well
with the Good News. She may have
encountered head winds. which delayed
her for weeks. or even month or more,
in which case she would still have time
to come into Tacoma safely. A delay
from an accident to machinery or mas.
must also be taken into consideration
Knowing the staunchnsss Of the vessel
and the manner in which she vas
equipped. have by no means given mp
hope. and believe she will yet arrive
in good shape I think a collision
with another vessel or object would be
the only thing to bring her disaster"
Asked whether It was not unusual
that the bark mas never been reported
as spoken or sighted. Mr.. Granfleld said
It was not.
'I have known vessels taking much
the same route and as long a journey
which We're never sp1lSen. over this
route few vessels are seen, and around
the cape she could be within ten miles
of another and not be seen. Then the
Good News may have been SPOKEN in
the Pacific by a vessel bound for
Europe but which would not be re-
ported until the bark reaches her desti-
nation"
The Good News. after loading about
1900 tons of dupont powder at Wilming~
ton. reached the Delaware Breakwatet
on January is last. whore she lay four
days for a favorable vird before going
to sea. About a week afterward n
terrible gale swept the Atlantic coast.
and there is possibility that she may
have been driven far out TO sea.
Although built II years AGO. she was
considered as good a vessel as one n
year old. and for this trip was INSURED
at the rate given the latter. Before
/ starting she was thoroughly examined,
and the timbers were pronounced sound
in every respect In her equipment
nothing was omitted that would be an
aid in case Of trouble oT delay. Sufi-
cient provisions were nut on board for
\ period Of IA months. and 80 tons n
fresh water We're carrie1- The water
was placed in tanks below, and was
not carried above board. as is usually
I done.
Captain Erickson, vino had charge Of
a sister shin OF the ood News for IL
years. was in command Of this bark
for the first time. He took the place
Of CAPTAIN Charles Myrick. of B9lti-
more. who bad commended the Good
News since she was built. but who de-
cided not to make this trip because OF
his age. There is a crew Of Is men

to make a wager on how many times
the animal could circle the course be-
fore it dropped from exhaustion but the
demolition of the wagon against the
tree put a stop to further speculation
on the part of the spectators and they

The animal had been tied in front Of

a straightaway course, however, the
horse plunged round the Garfield

LAUREL. Del, July 2l-Becoming
alarmed over the publicity given their
desire to meet Laurel young men, the
girls who inserted an advertisement in
a local paper last week failed to appear
at the designated rendezvous About 30
young men who had assembled on the
spot at the appointed time were badly
disappointed.
Although all sorts Of pressure is being
brought to bear the editor Of the paper
refuses to give the names Of the fair ones
who inserted the advertisement.
The notice attracted attention from all
over the country and letters OF all sorts
poured in. One from Washington be-
rated the young men for their lack of at
tention to the Laurel girls. who the
writer claims, are the prettiest on the
