A Five O'clock Picnic.

About fifteen or twenty couples Of
young people went to the Falls this
morning and enjoyed an early
morning picnic Misses Dora Pat
terson and Mary Smith were elected
chief cooks, and when you hear any
one say that they cannot make
good coffee or prepare breakfast
bacon that would encourage the most
delicate appetite you challenge the
statement. Each couple arrived
promptly on time except one, who
was twenty minutes late. The excuse
offered was that the harness got out
of fix and they were compelled to
stop for repairs. The harness was ex-
amined by a committee who report
ed: After carefully examining all
parts of the horses wearing apparel
We have failed to find where any new
repairs have been made" The report
was accepted and the committee dis
charged. At 7:15 the entire party
was on its way back to Waxahachie.

Carmack and Patterson End Their
Campaign for Office Of Governor.

Memphis, Tenn, June 26-Not in
the memory of the oldest Tennessean
has this state known so hot cam
paign for the governorship as that
which closes today, to be followed
tomorrow by democratic primaries
which will decide the victor. Former
United States Senator Carmack is
the opponent of Governor Patterson,
who is seeking renomination. Joint
debates between the opposing candi-
dates have been held in many places
throughout the state and have serv-
ed to excite the political fever of the
voters to white heat The question
of prohibition has been injected into
the campaign, with majority of the
crusaders under the milk white ban
ner lining up with Senator Carmack.
Patterson was first elected for a
term of two years on a platform that
pronounced for local option, for hon
est elections and for repeal of the
back assessment law His defenders
declare that he has been faithful to
his pledges and that he is fairly en-
titled to another term. by the rules
of precedent.
Carmack, who was senator for
six years and was defeated for sec
ond term, has rallied to his support
majority of the temperance people
and the more radical element of the
party. His platform is very similar
to that of Governor Hoke Smith of
Georgia, who was recently defeated
in the primaries of that state. II
Carmack should be elected, it is like
ly that a demand for statewide pro-
hibition would Immediately follow.
The state is already dry except for
three large cities.
The campaign just closed has been
marked by much yituperation and
invectives on both sides. The records
of both candidates have been raked
oven with a fine tooth comb.
1t is alleged that Carmack, who is
| now supported by the prohibitionists
and radical element, once described
them as political vagrants and
tramp patriots, as motley crew as
ever trod the deck of a privateer
ship, or huddled together In the cave
OF Audullnm." OF the pcpulfsts, who
are now supporting him, Carmack
said: They are a cussin' club. whose
| platform is dammit The prohibi-
tionists, now Carmack's bosom
| friends, he once denounced as "a
| wild-eyed band of patriots, made
drunk with the rot gut narangue of
demagogue leaders" and as "a re-
ceptacle for all the refuse and turnip
tops of politics."
Governor Patterson, too, is accus-
ed by the Carmack followers of too
abundant language. one of the phras-
es which has risen to torment him
referring to newspaper men as pin
headed editors"

BIGGEST HAT ON RECORD.
Wisconsin Farmer VIII Wear Fe-

La Crosse, Wis. June 26.-The La
Crosse hatworks has just turned out
the largest sized soft hat ever man
ufactured for a human being, and
it will be worn by La Crosse coun-
ty farmer whose name is withheld
by the hat works.
The hat is Fedora in shape and
8 "a in size. 1t was made to order
and is an exact fit for the man who
will wear it.
"This is two sizes bigger than the
largest hat | ever heard of in thirty
years experience in this business, :"
said Mr.. Wenzel. While employed
in a hat factory at Danbury, Conn,
which town boasts of thirty-four
factories of this kind, | saw an 8 IA
hat made for an Englishman. This
was record breaker. but La Crosse
county has a man whose head is just
two sizes larger Our scale of meas
urement shows that this mans head
is q 1-2 inches in circumference
The normal head measures 22 in
ches. A peculiar coincidence in con-
nection with the filling of this rec
ord-breaking order is that at the
same time we were making the

size being 6 IA This mans head

Large Force of Men Already
Busily Engaged.
LIGHTS ABOUT AUG. /
Flume Will Be Axe Feet and
126 Rods Long.

A force of about twenty men is
employed at the site of the electric
light and power plant on the Clear
water river east of town. Since the
recent washout, when the company S
dam was carried down the river and
the city left in darkness, plans have
been made to build hume to carry
the water to the plant and the con-
struction Of this is now well under
way. The hume will be 4x6 feet in
size and will extend up the river
from the power plant distance oi
126 rods.
There is a small island in the rivel
at a point where the hume leaves tht
stream and it is thought that the con-
struction of anything but small wins
dam will be unnecessary. This wins
dam can be constructed in shor
time whenever the amount of waite
in the river justihes it.
1t is impossible to state just whe
the power plant will be in operatio
again, but it is likely that the dat
will be about the first of Augus1
While there is some little inconver
ience, it is realized that the loss {
illumination is not as much of hane
leap now as it would be had the dal
been carried away during the wint'
months.

White Bird Got Three Scores to
Home Boys Six.
MAKES FIFTH VICTORY
Both Aggregations Played Some
Fast, Classy Ball.

The White Bird ball team and
goodly bunch of Salmon river fans
arrived in the city Saturday and Sum-
day for the contest that was to have
been pulled off Sunday afternoon.
Rainy weather, in evidence every
time the locals have arranged for
game at home this season, made the
game impossible Sunday so the river
folks remained over till Monday. The
game was witnessed by large crowd
of fans, all of whom were delighted
with the class of ball put up. The
final count was 6 to 3 in favor of the
locals. And speaking of things to be
proud of, that makes the fifth victory
for the home boys No defeats yet,
either.
Bonner pitched shut-out ball, but
some loose-helding and unexcusable
errors on the part of the locals in the
first inning opened things up about
right for the visitors and three of
them circled the bases. They never
did anything in the run-getting line
after that, however. Brooks did half
the scoring for Grangeville, making
three runs out of four times at bat.
Most of the fans regard Brooks as
the safest man on the team. Sempert
clouted the ball for one of the pref
tiest hits of the season Monday and
should have made three bagger out
of it.
The visitors were a gentlemanly lot
of players and dished out mighty fast
ball at times. Newman, shortstop,
stopped hot one from the bat direct
: and also pop fly, and Upton, at
:. third, got under foul fly just in time
:. to chalk up an out against the locals.
Ryan and Goodrich, the battery, and
in fact all OF the team played gooe
:. ball. They're always welcome tc
: come again.
The summary of the game show
that Bonner struck out IA men, while
RYAN has 8 strike outs to his credit
! Charles Rice, of Freedom, held th'
indicator and no complaint is mad
s. of his work.
