Last night that :devilish crowd, the
order of the Eastern Star, held high
carnival. 1t was our misfortune that
sickness kept US from witnessing two OF
our little lambs led to the slaughter. We
only know that they came in long after
all people whose deeds are not evil
should have been in bed, and, that they
had not shown up ct breakfast this
morning. There is an air of suppressed
excitement and much whispering among
the lady Masons and those brethren
who were fortunate enough to get in as
charter members. The Chapter is
expecting an early visit from the off,
GERS of the Grand Chapter, and from the
proficiency shown last night by all off,
GERS in the confering OF the degrees, it
will be ready for all such visits: and for
any candidates desiring to see the star
in the East. This morning rat, the
kind worn in the hair OF ladies was
found coiled upon the floor OF the ante
room. The owner can get it by calling
on Mr.. Lutte Plowden. II must be
called for soon, as Christmas is appro-
aching and he is fond of making pres

Big Meeting.

The farmers rally held here last
Friday had the effect OF organizing a
Farmers Union," with Mr.. T. J.
Tisdale as president, ana J. NJ. Gallo
way Secretary. Mr.. B Harris, Presl-
dent OF the State Union, delivered an
excellent address, teeming with strong
common, practical sense. He is a
farmer himself, which made his speech
the more impressive. He urged the
farmers to organize nd frankly told
them their condition would continue as
it is, as long as they did not grow the
necessaries of life upon their farms.
It is suicide, said be, ito buy hay, corn,
wheat, and meat from the West, when
these things can be made at home
cheaper He urged the necessity
Of diyersifcation of crops. and laid
stress upon the farmers acting like bus
mess men should, by organizing to pro
tect their interests. Mr.. Harris, while
not a fowery speaker, is an Impressive
one, and his speech was very favoraoly
commented upon by men who are not
farmers.
He was followed by Mr.. y. NJ. Ma
hafy, the State organizer, who also
made a good, practical speech. his
anecdotes kept the crowd, together
and in such good humor that they kept
insisting upon him to talk on Many
were disappointed because Of Hon. +.
D. Smith not being present, as was
advertised, but Mr.. Harris explained
the cause Of Mr.. Smiths absence. The
The Farmers Union has taken root in
this county and it will grow. Mr.. Ma
hatfy will stay in the county for a
couple of weeks for the purpose OF
organizing local unions. AS we under
stand it, this is purely a farmers organ
ization, none but farmers eligible to
membership, and if its principles are
carried out faithfully there is no rea-
son why it should not be a grand sue
cess, and a boon to all other avocations.

The county board OF control has en-
ployed counsel TO see that the election to
vote out the dispensary is held accord
ing to the law providing for such elec-
tions. The expense incurred will come
out OF the dispensary fund. 1t is our
Judgment that very few votes will be
cast to retain the dispensary, because
influences will be brought to bear that
rhe average voter cannot withstand, and
too, many voters will ignore the box. We
have been told by men whose judgment
is against voting out the legaIized sale
of liquor, under present conditions, that
they do not see how they can vote to
continue the sale without offending
friends. The TINES has given to It's
readers its honest reasons why the dis
pensary should not be voted out, Of
course. these reasons and opinions are
only the personal views Of is editor
who has tried to view this question like
some OF his prohibition friends, but he
cannot, and frankly tells his readers:
the matter is now up the voters and tax
PAYERS, it will be for them to say by
their ballot whether or not liquor shall
legally be sold in Clarendon; the legal
aspect OF the matter will be left to the
courts. and, with which the voters have
nothing to do. AS before said we are OF
the opinion majority of the votes cast
on November 3rd will be against the
sale, and if the law has been complied
with in other respects, it means the
closing Of the dispensary; should the
dispensary be closed, then it is our sin-
cere hope, that a practical operation OF
prohibition will be convincing that our
views on this liquor problem have been
erroneous. Our opposition to voting out
the dispensary is not at all c;.ptious. 1t
is matter of judgment entirely, and
such being our position we will say to
those VINO differ from US, that The
TINES columns are open, and they are
welcome to present their views in them.
We wish it distinctly understood it is
not our idea in conducting newspaper
to take advantage Of the opposition. es-
pecially as this is the only newspaper IN
the county. We express our views, the
opposition is welcome to do the same.

10 ordering an election in this county

sibly stand Section =, OF what is COM

give thirty days notice by advertise

question of the legality OF the petition:
whether OR not there are s2tficient quail

thirty days notice by advertisement, "
the Supervisor cannot have legal cleo

Commercial Club Decides TO
Incorporate in recognizing

After much delay and tiresOme dis
cussion regarding the plan of reor-
ganizing the Commercial club, it was
last night decided that the body should
be incorporated under chapter 134 of
the session laws Of the state of Wash
ington for 1907, which provision was
created for the Incorporation of bodies
not engaged in business for gain. A
motion to the effect that 1t was the
sense Of the meeting that the recon-
struction should be made along the
lines suggested by the special COM
mittee, was carried, and it was al
most unanimously agreed that incor-
poration should be carried out.
The proposed bylaws and articles
Of incorporation, covering every de-
tail of the reorganization were sub
mitted and read by the chairman, E C.
Mills and seemed to meet with the
hearty approval of the small number
of members present. In the articles of
incorporation, the present board of

writing the declaration of independ-
ence and the "Proclaiming of Liberty
throughout the land and the inhabit-
ants thereof" by the Liberty Bell at
at the state house in 1776.
In connection with this period were
shown details Of continental troops,
Philadelphia's famous First City troop
in the original uniforms escorting Gen
eral Washington; Robert Morris, the
great financier of that time, who
raised the necessary funds for the
country to defeat the British, the bat
tie Of Germantown and other import
ant features of that part Of the city's
and country's history.
Philadelphia and the nation in the
war of 1912 were similarly treated
and again it was shown that it was
a adelphian-Stephen Girard-who
financed the government. Considerable
attention was also devoted to the
Mexican war and the rebellion, and in
connection with the latter display 1t
was shown that another Philadelphia
like Morris and Girard-performed the
herculean task of providing Lincoln
with the funds for saving the union.
That was Jay Cooke, the great finan-
cier. Another feature of the civil war
period was the reproduction of details
of men of about twenty each, correctly
uniformed. representing every one of
the Philadelphia regiments which en-
listed for the war.
