SAFFORD GIVES SMITH
 \ WARM WELCOME
Increase of 40 Per Cent In His Majority Is
 Predicted.

SOLOMONVILLE, Oct. 9.-De- layed in transmission. )-Hon. Marx Smith, democratic candidate for con gress, spoke last night in Stafford to a packed house and aroused the wild est enthusiasm. Many who came to hear the gifted orator discuss the is- sues of the campaign were unable to gain admittance to the hall
 The speech delivered by Mir. Smith was declared to be the best he had ever made in the Gila valley and it gained for him many votes from the republican ranks, and the democrats are more determined and active ill his support than ever before.
 Cameron's campaign through this valley resulted in cementing the dem ocrats closer than they have been for years, because of the attempt of Joe Morrison to create the impression that Mark Smith had hot served the ter ritory faithfully.
 It may be put down in figures right now that Mark Smiths majority in this county will be increased 40 per cent over what it was two years ago. At that time the democrats were bad ly split over the county ticket: thls year they are perfectly united for ev- cry man on the democratic ticket from Mark Smith to constable.
 Mark Smith was in SolomonVille to- day and had the opportunity of meet ing a great many of his old friends the district court. He goes to Globe this evening.

0LD TOMBSTONE REMEMBERS STERLING WORTH IF MARK \.
 SMITH IS A GOOD CITIZEN

TOMBSTONE. oct. l2.--Tomb. stone'-the old Tombstone of ancient memory and fame-the mining camp that probably never had an equal since time began.
 We find men in tls- ord town, many men who were here when the first blast was exploded, all generous hearted, royal men.
 1t was here in this busy mining mart that Mark Smith. young man, began the practice of law It was here that he made record as dis- trict attorney that struck terror 10 evil doers.
 Cattle stealing and outlawry which were inseparable from all busy, thriv- ing, new mining camps, held sway on the broad mesas hard by the town. The Sulphur Springs valley. south east from Tombstone, was the rendez yous of these lawbreakers, and a mer- " race they gave the peace officers Of southwestern Arizona = those palmy days, long since passed. But when Mark Smith was installed in,o the office of district attorney. ne served public notice upon these no mads that order had come to abioe with the people of this county The rustlers laughed at Marks admonl- ton, but the sturdy young official never wayered in his efforts till some forty-five bad men-men who regard ed statutes with derision and officers with contempt, were landed in the Yuma penitentiary, while the cattle rustlers and other law defiers began to sit up and take notice.
 Mir. Smiths record as district at torney turned up a new era in Art zona. His clarion voice in behalf or justice rang clear and true in the Tombstone court house till the peo. pie of Cochise county, in the interest of Arizona. in the interest of goos government and a new Arizona, de- handed that he be nominated ana elected to congress, ana after retiring from the position hss filled with such credit to himself and his constitu- ents, he was triumphantly elected to congress, and again and again has a grateful constituency returned him to the legislative hall of the nation.
 Mr, Smith again being the nominee of the democratic party, a reporter for the InternationaiAmerica visited Tombstone to renew old acquains ances and ascertain the extent of the pretty little town, so famous in the history of mining camps of the world.
 The first man encountered was an old frfend-Judge ]. F. Dunean-a man who rustled around among the rocks and caves of Tombstone ana Bisbee before locomotive was made. l Judge Duncan laughed at the pre- tenses of the Cameron followers. | Why quoth this sterling old citizen, !

TOBACCO GROWERS MEET.

Prince Frederick Especially The
Calvert County Tobacco Growers
Association held its annual spring
meeting in the Courthouse here, and
the large crowd of representative
farmers was addressed by ex-Internal
Revenue Collector F. Snowden Hill,
of the Prince Georges County bar;
w. Frank CLANCY, of Anne Arundel
County; Secretary F. Weems, of the
State Tobacco Association.
Mr.. Hill stated that in the effort
of the Tobacco Growers Association
to obtain better prices for the plant
er the association did not have the
cooperation of the commission mer-
chants as whole, but between the
two there is constantly more or less
conflict. The former, he said, is
not now depending altogether on the
commission merchant as in other
days, since there are banking insti
buttons in every county where he can
take his warehouse receipts and get
a loan on them and not force the
sale of his tobacco when the COM
modify is down in price. The tobac-
co buyers, he claimed, were more
friendly 10 the dSSoCldtloH tHdH IHe
commission merchants.
"A tobacco exchange in Baltimore
is what we need" he said. There
the grower could sell his tobacco
by sample, just as wheat and other
grain is now sold"
Senator Lewis NICK. Griffith offer
ed a resolution calling on the Gov.
srnor to direct Attorney-General
Straus, or the States Attorney of
Anne Arundel County or Calvert
County, to institute proceedings
against the old Baltimore and Drum
Point Railroad, now the Baltimore
and Southern Railroad Company,
which has been grossly guilty of mis-
use, abuse and nonuse of its corpor-
ate powers and franchises. that its
charter may be forfeited.

Office Fifty Years in One Family.

A remarkable feature of the elec-
tons held this week is commented
upon in plymouth township, where
D. d. Ross, Democrat, was elected
Supervisor. 1t transpires that for up
ward of fifty years, or during nearly
the whole of the townships existence,
the Office of Supervisor has been in
the Ross family. Ross grandfather,
one of the earliest settlers in Saginaw
County, was for many years Super.
visor during and before Civil War
days. When he became too old to
continue in the duties the Office de.
sceneded to his son, by the same
name, who likewise held it for many
years. Now comes the grandson, who
is the third in the direct family line
to hold the Office of Supervisor in
plymouth. 1t is believed not another
record in Office holding such as this
can be found in The State of Michigan.

JAIL DELIVERY FRUSTRATED.

Easton Especially. - The betrayal
by one prisoner in the Easton Jail
of plot on the part of several others
to overpower the Sheriff and his wife
and to make their escape frustrated
a pretty little scheme.
When Sheriff Walsh entered the
jail to take prisoner over to court
one of the prisoners handed him d
letter. 1t stated that George Handy
and Medford Green, who had been
convicted for waylaying Edward
Rodgers on the highways; Wilson
Benson, convicted of larceny, all of
whom had received long sentences
in the House of Correction, and
James Booth, awaiting trial for jail
breaking and larceny, had picked .
hole nearly through the thick stone
wall in the toilet room large enough
for man to crawl through, and
they intended to make their escape
that way after they had been locked
in their cells. They had secured a
key that would unlock their cell
doors and let them into the CORR
doris, but had no key by which to
uulOCh Tie UuleT uOUI. lie lelLeT
further stated that they said they
did not propose to be carried to the
House of Correction and had planned
that when the Sheriff went in to lock
them up for the night and left his
wife guarding the outside door, as
usual, they would jump upon him.
and after knocking him senseless
take away his gun, then make dash
and overpower his wife before she
could make her escape or give an
alarm and escape through the side
door, which leads into the back yard,
unobserved.
The Sheriff, with his deputies.
went back to the Jail and found
every word that the prisoner had
written was true. He Immediately
ordered the prisoners in their cells
and locked them up and workmen
were set to work to replace the stone
in the wall with cement.
AS the prisoner who betrayed the
plot is considered a good prisoner
it is the opinion of the people Of
Easton that his sentence should be
committed.

Winds and Fish.

A singular correspondence has late.
ly been brought to light between the
prevailing direction of the wind on
the coast of New South Wales and the
average catch of fish. These influences
nave periods of three or four years
Thus IN 1898 there was a general
scarcity o, fish, but afterward they
became more and more abundant ur
to 1901. In 1906 there was another
scarcity of fish, but the next year they
began to return in increasing mum.
bers. The Cause of these variations
was a mystery until the coincidence
with the prevailing direction of the
coastal winds was noticed. Now it IL
thought that by the study of the
winds the prospects of the fishermen
may be predicted two or three years
in advance.

EVERY GIRL CAN SING.

On the other hand, there are girls
who, beginning ,6th scarcely any
voice at all, by earnest thought and
right endeavor, application and per.
severance delevop into real artists.
In fact, the girls who have the best
voices to begin with are not as rule
the ones who eventually make the
greatest singers-simply because they
too often lose their voices by neglect
or careless study.
Many beginner thinks she can do
nothing herself alone, says Ellen
Beach Yaw, in the Delineator. She
feels that she must have a professor.
and If she once masters the elemen.
tary course she thinks that it is neces.
sary to go abroad in order to perfect
herself. This is all very we'll If one
can afford the expense, but it is mis-.
take to suppose that no particular
progress can be made without those
advantages. In singing as in all other
undertakings it is of the utmost i'm.
portance that there shall be a proper
foundation. and that foundation can
be made by the girl herself.
Would you, one of the millions Of
girls who are now beginning the study
of singing, learn the secret of sue
cess in my chosen calling? 1t is as
have said, within yourself.
1t is unnecessary to suggest or ap-
ply any fixed rules for each individual
student, but it is of inestimable value
and consequence that this one general
rule shall be adhered to, as applying
to all cases and to every individual
singer, namely, seriousness of
Thought, earnestness of application
patience and perseverance.
