On County Option Bill FaVors
"Drys."

Columbus, June 25.-Attorney Cen
eral Ellis has rendered his first Of
fetal opinion on the Rose county local
option measure. 1t is an extended
opinion, but the gist of it is that a
county option is not local option. The
county is not exactly community,
but is greater than a community.
Hence, if a county votes dry, any
subdivision of lit hat may be voted
wet, goes dry thirty days after the
election in the county. The attorney
general holds to the view that the law
is designed as an assault on the
liquor traffic and all interpretations of
the law must be had from that angle.
His opinion is directed to Eugene
Carlin, prosecuting attorney of Wayne
county, and holds that if county
votes dry it all goes dry, but if it
votes wet the subdivisions that may
have voted dry heretofore, stay dry.

ASCENSION
Of Local Aero Club May
be Made About Middle
of July
PLANS OF The CLUB

Johnson Sherrick, president of the
Canton Aero club, stated yesterday
that the next ascension would be made
about the middle of July. There is
some probability that an ascension
may be made several days before that
but the plans of the club are some
what indefinite.
The basket of the balloon of the
Canton club is at present in New York
being repaired. In the last ascension
it was broken and extensive repairs
were needed before another fight
could be made. 1t is expected that
it will be returned to Canton some
time during the early part of July
and then the time for the ascension
will be definitely decided upon.
Mr.. Sherrick spoke of plans by the
club of sending up two balloons at the
same time. If another balloon can be
procured during the summer the two
ascension plan will be tried, At the
present starting point, the gas is so
piped that there would be little Oh no
difficulty in obtaining the gas for two
ascensions at the same time. An at
tempt will be made to persuade some
other club or individual to bring a
balloon here for such an experiment.
The Canton Aero club is in com
munication with Allan B. HALEY, of
New York, an aeronaut whose name is
a household word among all ballooning
| on+huciaStc Mr. Shprripk received a
letter from him several days ago in
which he offered his services as a pilot
to the local club. He stated that he
would be ready for an ascension at
any time, and it is probable that he
will be here for the next fight. Mr..
Haley was one of the contestants in
the famous st. Louis balloon race last
summer, and finished third.
Pilot Stevens who had charge of the
"Ohio" on its last fight is at present
in New York.

BITE OF A RAT
Which Turned on DR.. Brecket Causes
Septicemia-Death May Result.


Alliance, June 25.-Dr. A. D. Brecket
of Limaville is lying in the city hos
pital in a very precarious condition
from septicemia or blood poisoning.
About three weeks ago the doctor dis
covered rat in a sluiceway near his
home and shot at the rat. He thought
he had wounded the rodent, but as it
was making an effort to get away the
doctor made an attempt to capture the
rat with his hands, and in doing this
was bitten on the back of the hand.
The injury was cauterized, but blood
poisoning followed and the hand and
arm became swollen to an abnormal
size. Ten days ago he was brought to
the city hospital. He has become un-
conscious and there is little hope for
his recovery.

DEMOCRATS HAVE CHANGE OF
MIND.

Congressman Small, of the First
District, stated few days ago that he
was informed that the greater num-
Der OF the growers of peanuts In HIS
District desire a higher tariff, and
that It was his duty to represent them
and carry out their wishes SO far as
he could.
Mr.. Small Is not the only Demo
cratic Congressman that has had oc-
casion to change their minds about
the tariff. IL Is noticeable though
ttat some OF them stood by the Bry-
an idea until they saw that their con-
stituents would not stand for 1t any
longer, and have taken a change oil
mind in order TO save their political
scalps.
Republican policies are becoming
more and more popular with the
masses and the Democratic politician:
will either have to come to them oil
get out of business entirely.

from Mr.. James w. Graham, of Hert-

have communications every week
from our subscribers, especially on
why the party did not make greater

gains can be made in the future. and
if great gains were made, we would
like for our correspondents to state
what influences conduced most to
make them, and how the gain can be
made greater next time. Communi-

very interesting to our readers. In

C0SGgEssNAy-ELECT MORE
HEAD.

We are printing In this issue a
cut and also a short sketch OF the
life OF Hon. John Motley Morehead.
congressman-elect from the Fifth
District. The Fifth District is nor
Eally Democratic By over 1000 ma
jority. His election was due to the
brilliant campaign made By himself
and his campaign manager.
Mr.. Morehead is a man who stands
high in the business world and the
election Of such men to Congress
means much for the South.
Soon after his election, what was
purported TO be an interview with
Mr.. Morehead, appeared in the New
York Times, in which it was stated
that Mr. Morehead did not make a
fight for his election and was really
bored oFer the prospects of serving
term In Congress. We are inform
ed by those who know Mr.. More
head best that he never gave out any
such interview to the New York
| Times, and that he and his cam
paign manager made vigorous cam
paign, and that he greatly appreciates
the effective work done for him by
his supporters.
While Mr.. Morehead is a man OF
| considerable business interest, there
| need be no apprehensions but that
he will devote his full time to the
duties of his office.

NO PAPER NEXT WEEK.

According to our custom for many
years, we will not issue any paper
next week. 1t is the custom of prac-
tically all weekly newspapers to sus-
spend an issue during the Christmas
holidays so as to give the printers
and office force an opportunity for
some recreation and pleasure during
the holidays. The Caucasian will Wis
it you again the first week in Janu-
airy and every week thereafter during
the year, and we trust it may ever be
a welcome visitor in your home.
We wish each and every one of our
subscribers a very merry Christmas
and happy and prosperous New Year

The Caucasian trusts that the Re-
publican members of the next Legis-
lature will offer several very much
needed amendments to the present
election law so as to insure a fail
and honest election. In addition
would it not be best for the whole
State if the Australian system were
adopted? Thousands of voters were
prevented from voting the Republi
can ticket at the last election by in
timidation. The Australian ballo
system is the only complete remed!
for this evil.
