The time the mill will resume is a matter of speculationh no informa- tion of an official character having been given out The employees are accepting the situation cheerfully as a strong feeling prevails that the shutdown will be of short duration and that when the mill resumes it will be under better conditions as the mill will be put in first class shape in the interim.

POLITICS WILL BE
 WARM IN DALLAS Several Candidates Will Con-
 test Important Offices THE FIGHT OPENS EARLY Leo Leva, Keeper of Records and Seal for Knights of Pythias, Is Pre- sented With Handsome SiI-
 yer Service.
THE FIGHT OPENS EARLY

Selma, May 7-(Specia1. .)-Dallas county promises to furnish a battle royal in 8 political way for the next IS months or so. There will be contest for probate judge, county commissioners and sheriff that will be attended with more heat than any political race in years For probate judge the old guard" seems split asunder and factions that have trained together for many years will find them selves arrayed against each other. E. P Lacy is making the race against Judge F. H.. Pitts and while the fighting is mainly for position 1t is of such a nature that it shows conclusively that it Is to be battle of giants without a particle of quarter asked or received on either side
 The contest for sheriff will be consider ably mixed as theer will be eight or ten candidates in the running These may combine into two factions as the end candidates will be in at the finish.
 For county commissioners the plethora of candidates would lead one to believe that the office is a sinecure with large compensation whereas the commissioners are paid only per diem and hardly suf- ficient to pay good man for his time It is considered a high honor in Dallas coun- ty, however, to be a member of the court of county commissioners and there will be race that will be interesting for each of the four places.
 It is expected that the county executive committee will assemble In a few days to take action on the question of having each district name it's own candidate for com missioner. This question gains interest as the discussion increases and 1t Is Just possible that some legal ruling may be secured on the matter.
 For circuit clerk 1t looks, very much as if there will be only one candidate, T. w. Barker, Theo Lacy, the present incumbent, not being a candidate, owing to the fact that his brother Is the can didate for probate judge.

Catch Train By instruction

That the trip of the Farmers In
struction Train through South Jersey
last March has proven successful to
the railroad companies now seems certain .
From Woodbury. comes the announce
ment that many farmers throughout
Gloucester county and vicinity are now
arranging to ship products to the Plila-
delphia markets by rail instead of haul
ing as heretofore.
The farmers have found that the rail
road companies have met them half way
in the matter by installing more sidings
at the several stations, together with tue
insurance that fast transportion will be
given just as soon as the crops begin to
come in.
The railroad companies are SO delight
ed with the fruits Of the instruction train
that they propose to have another similar
tour in the fall.
