Election Held Tomorrow.

An election will be held Monday, De- tober 5, to establish or reject an inferior court for Beat 45 in lieu of the present justice court. This election is called by the provisions of the bill and not by the local authorities as some seem to imagine.
 When the bill was enacted at the meet ing of the legislature in September, 1907, clause was inserted referring the bill to the people of Beat 45 for their ac- ceptance or rejection, and then and there fixed the date to hold the election for the same, namely, October 5, 19OS
 The election will be held under the su- pervision of the county authorities. The probate judge called the election and the managers and clerks were selected by the county authorities.
 There will be only two voting places, the Ensley box will be at the city hall. Avenue E, which will be the only voting place in Ensley. The Wylam box will be at the city hall. Wylam.
 This election has created considerable interest as it is being opposed as strongly as it is being advocated. Much literature has been distributed in favor of the court, while its opponents have by no means been idle. The result at this time cannot be foretold with any degree of accuracy.
 A mass meeting was held at Vivian Friday night and resolutions were adopted opposing the court bill. In this connec tion Attorney D. J. Hummer requests the following correction: Tn Saturdays Age-Herald an article appearing in ref erence to the establishment of an in- ferior court for Beat 4o. It would be in- fered from the article that I was opposed to the court. The reverse Is the case. as l spoke in favor of its establishment. Furthermore, the resolutions favoring the court were not unanimous by any means and were presented after many had left the room, and many of those present did not vote"

 What luck?'
 "Only pound porgy," replied the suitor.
 My boy" exclaimed the happy father, '1 know what you have come about. Take her, and be happy. No man has ever confessed to such truth before. You are a piscatorial George Washing ton"

ORANGES--MAYBE

Moses B Colworth, an English
scientist who has been making GER
tain Investigations in Alaska, has
about concluded that the north
pole is shifting over towards ST,
IBERIA. and tuat this change Is caus-
ing warmer weather in Northern
territories on this continent and
colder weather in Northern Asia
This settling is caused Mr. Col.
worth says, by the immense ac-
cumnlations of ice along the Ca
madam shores of the Arctic ocean,
and especially in Bafiiu's Land and
Greenland. The incalculable
W light of this mass of ice is slow
~ pushing in the earth crust, and
causing it to bulge out" in
Northern Asia. There are no
great ice fields in Northern Asia.
If Mr.. Colworth's contention is
true, it may offer an explanation
for the mild winters we have ex-
! erienced for several years past,
and the gradual changes in seasons
that have taken place. Oldtimers
will tell you of the severe winters
experienced year after year, fifty |
or less years ago. If this change
is taking place, our grandchildren
in Idaho may go to the orchards
for oranges instead of to the gro
Gerry stores and fruit stands, and
the Idaho politicians may develop
into the Central American brand
of revolutionists.
