$500 NOW RAISED.

The last report on the raising of
money for the West Hickman levee
shows that $500 has been raised,
leaving balance of $4,000 to get
yet.
This can be procured without any
great effort. Four of our merchants
have subscribed 500 each. 1t will
be money well spent. II other bust
ness concerns will give as literally
when solicited, the full amount will
be forthcoming in a very short time.
This will be one of the best In
vestments ever made by the citizens
of Hickman. Fully the cost of the
leyee is lost every year on account
OF high water forcing the factories
TO stand idle for weeks.

Dear sirs: l notice in your last
issue under Commissioners Count
the Vote" the following: MANY bal
lots were rejected by the election of.
ficers because the voters stamped I'M
der both the Republican and Band
Wagon devices. OF course this killed
the votes thus stamped"
win ask you to please explain
why these votes were KILLED" when
these tickets had no opposition to
each other whatever, in fact, could
just as well have been under one de-
vice so far as opposition is concerned
And IL seems to me plain enough that
the intention of those voters in
stamping under both devices was to
vote for every candidate under these
two devices. My understanding of
the duties Of election officers in pass
ing upon a ballot, is to determine II
plain, the intention of the voter and
so count 1t. l have all along contend
ed that said officers should be sup
piled with plain set of rules OF in
structions covering the entire work
of holding and closing an election.
q mean non-partisan instructions.)
AS 1t is now. some will say you are
required to do this, and another that;
consequently, when the ballot boxes
are returned after an election. no
two are seldom ever carried alike.

FRANK WATSON LOSER.

Il. J. Fairless. who came from Tex
as and has worked for the Mengel
Box Co. for about five months. let
Frank Watson. Of this city, down for
about $500.
Watson, who is slightly related to
Fairless by marriage, endorsed a $40
draft for him on Sept 2 and another
for 1925 a few days later. The drafts
were drawn on Mr.. Fairless' father.
residing in Texas. The elder Fair
less refused to honor the drafts and
Il was up TO Mr.. Watson. as an en-
dorser. to make them good. As Fair
less drew this money TO buy furni-
ture to set him up TO Housekeeping,
Watson hoped to be reimbursed as
the former could spare the money
from his wgaes, and took no legal
action.
Last week. Mr.. Fairless proceeded
TO sell the furniture back to the furni-
ture man, gathered few of his per-
sonal effects and started with his
wife and mother.in-law for Amorilla,
Texas. Watson learned Of the move
and had him arrested at Memphis.
In company with Sheriff Seat and
Judge F. S. Moore. he went to Mem
phis to bring the man back. Before
they could get away with him, ha-
boas corpus proceedings were insti-
tuted by the mans attorney, and the
Memphis Judge released him, on the
grounds that it was not felony.
The costs, added to the S165 which
Watson must make good on account
OF his endorsements, will bring the
total up to about $500.
A few personal effects were left
behlnd-which are largely claimed by
the mother-in-law. Bradley & Parhan
levied on these for money due them.
Fairless is now out Of reach, and
Watson will pay dearly for his friend
ly accommodation.

Stories of Creation and, DsIuse Not Original with compiIers of Bible.

Chicago, Aug. 2s.-The Bible is not original with it's supposed compilers, according to the opinions expressed yesterday by Prof. Gerald B. Smith of the faculty of the divinity depart ment of the University of Chicago.
 'fThe stories of the creation and of the deluge appeared long before the Bible was written" the speaker said. Both were traditional in the early lit- erature of the Babylonians.
 ''The theologian of today is ac- quainted, as the theologians of for mer days were not, with the reality and vitality of non-christian religion, and in the investigation of the Old Testament religion it has been found that many of it's clements were de- rived from Israers contact with Baby lon. The history of Christianity re- veals the fact that Christian beliefs have grown and changed as Chris tianity has met with the secular forces in it's history. There are elements in every pagan religion which every Christian is compelled to recognize as truth.'

Found in Alaskan cruise of George
 w. Perkins Party.

cordova, Alaska. Aug 26.-The George w Perkins excursion party. while cruising along a vast stretch of Alaskan coast, discovered on the west coast of Knights Island a new glacier, emptying into Prince Williams sound. The ice river Is two miles long and IS 200 feet high in front. The Yucatan sailed near in 100 fathoms of water. The glacier was named Princeton. be- ing christened by Miss Perkins, daughter of the financier.
 The .excursionists all went out to the glacier in small boats. Miss Per kins smashed bottle of champagne on the face of the glacier, exciaim- inng: II name thee Princeton"
 MT. Perkins will ask the United States government to place the loca- tion and name on the official maps. The E. H. Hartman Alaska excursion several years ago discovered and named the Yale, Harvard and Harri- man glaciers.
 : The Perkins party jailed in the Yu- catan last night for Seattle via Sitka- The Alaskan cruise has lasted two months.

HooPskIRT TO AERoPLANE.
Union Army Veterans Forty seventh 2 Patent is on Airship.

Washington, Aug. 2s.-Frorn hoop skirt, with hustle attachment, to air. ship runs the story of the inventive genius of Capt. J. F. Chase. Union army veteran, now here from his home in Veteran City, Fla He has just se- cured a patent on his airship, and it makes the forty seventh that the patent off1ce has dealt to him.
 It was just after some of his wounds had healed, the civil war having ended, that Capt. Chase, who had served in Maine commands, embarked upon his inventive career. A hoop skirt contribution to feminine fash ions was the first manifestation of his creative genius, and he expects his airship to prove quote as buoyant as did those wind -swayed embellishments of the form feminine. &
 Capt. Chase has pinned his faith to the iighter-than-air type of ships. He expects to have one of his flyers com pleted within year, when he will try to sell it to the government.

KILLING OF w. N. CHANDLER. Panama Worked Up over the Death of
 Newspaper Editor.

Panama, Aug. 2S.-The killing in this city yesterday of William Nichols Chandler, editor of the Panama Press, by Herbert o. Jeffries, an American who took part in the Panaman revolu- ton of 1903, has aroused much feel- ing here.
 The Press is new and rather un- important journal. It contained re- gently an article refiecting upon one of Jeffries' women relatives, at which Jeffries took serious offence. At noon yesterday he assaulted Chandler in his office, and later in the day Chandler died from his injuries. In view of the unimportance of Chandler's, paper and the personal character of the article which caused the trouble, little irn- portance was attached to the encoun- ter until Chandler .succumbed. But the death of the editor, who was well liked, has aroused considerable local feeling.

 Surprised by the suddenness of the attack the robber was hurled to the pavement, and quick as a flash the long hat pin was jabbing him. The robber was fighting a losing battle when he was rescued by his com rade, who felled Thill, and then turned on Mrs. Thill. An instant later the men disappeared down an alley.

RoWED 200 MILES TO SHORE. Part of Crew of French Bark Wreck
 ed of West Australia.

Perth. West Australia, Aug. 2s.-The first officer and thirteen of the crew of the French bark Gael, Capt. Mel eyer, from London, May 22. for Port land, Ore, have come into Bunbury in an open boat. The first officer reports that the Gael was abandoned 200 miles from Bunbury, and that his boat part ed company from the captains beat on Aug. 23.
 The lighthouse on Cape Naturaliste, fifty miles southwest of Bunbury, re- ports having sighted a ships boat, crowded with men anad ying what appeared to be German flag, making it's way in the direction of Bunker Bay. In view of the locality it is probable that Ghe lighthouse keeper made a mistake in reading the flag, and that the captains boat of the Gael is coming in.
