interesting Letter From Our Special
 cOrreSpOudent.

QulIe large numDer or the children of the town have been afflicted with measles, and all though not of serious character yet sufficiently troublesome to cause watching. The physicians have been quite busy as a conse quence.
 Miss De Forest, one of the teach CTS in the public school here, who has been filling the place made vacant by the resignation of Mrs. Fitch, has resigned to accept a higher salaried position at Payson, and leaves for her new post of duty on Saturday.
 Postma ster Bohall has been ex- ceptionally busy the past month owing to heavy increase in mails, and as a consequence has appoint ed an additional clerk, Mir Roy Cornett, to help handle the work and thus continue to give the town the efficient service he has always done.
 The death of the collector of customs caused a delay in the pay ment of the salaries of the em- ployees for the past month, as the vouchers all had 50 be made over again and sent to Washington for approval. and the check for each individual therefore issued from the department.t there direct.
 All the committees for the fourth of July celebration are making headwav towards a big time for that day. They are working hard to make this years celebration the best ever held in this county. The sports committee is arranging for special features that will add great ly to the days festivities, and help to draw a big crowd.
 The Immigration Service now has it's full quota of men for this port. Owing to the changes which are constantly occurring in this service it is hard to keep the force up to the standard all the time. but now there are three competent men here. and the work of the ser vice will be efficiently looked after. The accident, which befell many of those last Sunday who went on the picnic to the end of the new road now building in Sonora. Mex .ico, has not proved as disastrous as at first thought'to be, and those who were hurt are rapidly recov- ering, and will be out again soon. The greatest damage done was to the engines, and the track.
 The past week the dog catchers have been putting forth their best endeavors to rid the town of vicious dogs, and their. success in this direction has been good. But all though many have been caught and killed there are still enough to be caught that will warrant keeping the good work a going, and the men in charge are consequent ly looking out and trying to secure them all. Those desirous of keep ing any caught can do so by pay ing the proper tax.
 The Nogales Board of Trade has requested Chief Engineer Hill of the reclamation service that, in the event of his securing additional appropriation from congress for the work of the service in Arizona, he apportion some part of 1t for work on the Santa Cruz river here. As the board has maintained a gauging station on the Santa Cruz river at it's own expense for over a year, and as the needs of this section of the country require inn mediate attention, it is only just and fair Santa Cruz county should be considered first in the distribu- tion Of this money for irrigation purposes.

LOCKER CLUBS
Over In Georgia viii BE Put Out
Of Business.
United States Judge Spccr Rules thut
Each Mombcr Of Thorn Must Pay
Twenty-Five Dollars License.

1Wst5tI"EINC DOlf1tIS IIICeISc.
A dispatch from Savannah, Ga, to
the Augusta Chronicle says 'trou-
bic OF a deep nature Is looming ahead
for the locker clubs Of Georgia
those GASES In the desert into which
the prohibition ha0o converted the
state, and unto which those who are
sore at thirst are wont to wend their
way.
This trouble is not that which Is
lurking In the approaching session Of
the Legislature, but it awaits the
clubs in the term OF the United
states court for the Southern district
OF Georgia, which Is to onven in
savannah on February 20. Judge
Emory Spcer sounded the docket for
the term. He will return TO hold
court beginning February 90.
ASKED about the status Of the
locker clubs in Georgia, Judge Spccr
caused surprise when he said that
lie would charge the United States
grand jury that the clubs are con
ducCcd in opposition to the statute
that each place where Ii
1uor is sold or dealt in in any way
snail pay a license Of $25 to the fed
oral government. Each and every
member Of the clubs, said Judge
Specr IS, under the law, liable for
such a license He is required to
take out such a license and to post
in a CONSPICUOUS place.
Thus far the members in no case
have complied with the law, and the
judge says he will charge the jury to
investigate this omission. This, OF
course, means the death OF locker
clubs.
Judge Spccr said the impression
prevails up the State that no Savan-
nah jury would take cogniZancc Of
failures to observe the prohibition
law. This. he is lot inclined 20 be
licve. he said, for he had found Sa.
vannah citizens ever ready to do their
duty as jurors.
However, the judge naivcly con-
tinued, that If he found it necessary
he might call upon the sturdy yco-
many OF Bullock, Emanuel, Screw
en- and other ncighboring counties to
come to his aid in enforcing the law.
Speer was fully Informed Of the "a
pid mushroom growth Of locker
clubs in Savannah" t

He was told that he was the only
Southern representative who advo-
Gated this. He had talked to hun
drcds of Northern audiences and
found that they had very little use
for the negro, although they wanted
his vote and are consequently very
polite TO the colored brother.
1t was n question with him, he
said, whether or not 1t was not time
for the South to unite and call for
the repeal of this amendment. II
the South eve asked for 1t they
would never get It.
In roaming over the land he was
able to bring the news back thai sec
tional feeling was dead. There were
n few old men who still cling to the
old ideas. But there are many who
have come South during the Span
ish-Amcrican war. have invested
their money here and have visited
here and they have the same ideas
we have. lie claimed that he had
aroused nor enthusiasm in Wiscon-
sin than here OF the matter OF white
supremacy; he had followed his old
style OF hand primaries and usually
secured Il unanimous vote. 1t is now
a question Of nerve or courage to Sc
cure q repeal Of this amendment and
the South should demand 1t.
Ho wishes to have credit for fore
sight. He wanted, however, to press
upon the people the fact hat the
time viii come when the negro vote
in the South Will count. More white

The question must be pressed upon

was that South Carolina would never
submit to negro domination.

A Sumter dispatch says Mr.. Law
renee DuBose Of the Mechanicsville
section was going down south Har-
yin street Tuesday night at z o'clock
he was assaulted by a negro and his
skull crushed By Il brick. He was
taken to the Sumter hospital and is

the Only Solution Of tho Race
Observation-Disclosures Of 1905
Was But a Temporary Subterfugc
Which Must Loose Efficiency
Favor Immigration.
Before several hundred people
Senator b. r. Tillman Thursday
night delivered In tho State capitol
an address on immigration as 1t ar
fects the race question. He spoke In
.responce to an invitation from the
general assembly. The address last
cd not quito two hours and was
closely followed by those present.
Ills utteranccs on the Immigration
question are perhaps his first from a
platform in this State and were
therefore Of particular interest to the
members.
On the race problem the senator
touched. arguing in the main for a
repeal Of the 18th amendment OF the
constitution Of the United States,
but his main argument was that
South Carolina needs more settlers
Of the right sort, the kind authori-
Hed in the act creating the depart
ment OF agriculture, commerce and
immigration, and the only way to
get these settlers is by advertising
the advantages of South Carolina
a plan now being used in tho West,
where there are also many advan-
tages, where wages are higher and
where the negro is not met In com
petion.
Senator Tillman anaylizcd the re-
suit Of his lectures in the North, told
Of the disappearance Of sectional
feeling and closed with a strong plea
for more education Of the whites,
calling attention to the growing OK
tent Of the education of the negroes,
pointing out the fact that the con
Stitution OF 1895 was only a tenn
porary remedy and emphasizing the
growing danger OF the use Of the
educated negro for political purpos-
CS.
After being introduced by Lieut..
Gov. Mcleod he expressed his graft
i~ication on account OF the invita-
ton and declared that he would try
to comply with its terms. He be-
lieves the discussion Of immigration
and the rae question to be so close
ly interviewer that one can not be
handled without the other.
There is still a wide divergence Of
opinion on the race question, but he

How To
Gain Flesh

Persons have been known to
gain a pound dayby takingan
ounce of SCOTS Emulsion. Il
isstrange, but 1t often happens.
Somehow the ounce produces
the pound; It seems to start
the digestive machinery going
properly, so that the patient Is
able to digest and absorb his
ordinary food which he could
not do before, and that Is the
way the gain is made.
A certain amount of flesh Is
necessary for health; If you
have not got it you can get 1t
by taking
