camping at different locations and is
said to peddle pencils and soap for a

having the lead in the race, follow
ing the precinct conventions held yes

Massac precincts while Green Bennett
carried the Maxon Mills precinct and
got second instruction from the
Heath precinct Pat Ross carried
Lang's precinct while Richard Jacobs
received Instructions at Cecil.
Three precincts are necessary to
win the nomination and the lack OF a
few votes in Maxon Mills may lose
Holt the nomination. Bennett re-
ceived the Instructions over Holt by
one vote. When the vote is called
Lang and Cecil precincts will be
dropped first no doubt, and as Ben

Cecil II will give him two precincts

precinct will be the bone, and the
candidate who can carry II no doubt
will win out.

Finds That Miss Harrison's
Election by Middleton's
Vote is Lesal.-.It is Be.
lieved Board Will Act.

County School Superintendent W.
A. Mlddle:on's vote for Miss Green
Vile Harrison as teacher for the
fourth grade of the consolidated
school at Lone Oak was legal, accord
ing to a telegram received today from
Thomas b. McGregor, assistant attor-
ney general. Thus a hard fought bat
tie between Miss HarrIson and Miss
Eleanor Browning will be brought to
a close aud the muddle closed.
This week w. T. Harrison.
brother OF Miss Harrison. wrote to
the attorney general, stating the sit
uation and asking for an opinion and
this morning a telegram was received
as follows: "MiGileton's vote legal;
requires majority to elect" But with
the vote OF Superintendent Middleton
counted as legal Miss Harrison is GER
tain of election, as the vote stands
to 4 in favor of her.
The controversy between Miss
Browning and Miss Harrison has
waxed warm and dates back several
weeks. At the first meeting of the
divisional board a tie vote resulted
between the two teachers, each get
ting two votes. At the next meeting
the vote stood o 1 IN favor of Miss
Browning. However, as she did not
receive a majority of the votes of the
trustees-elect, the friends of Miss
Harrison said there was no election.
September IA another election was
held and tie vote resulted. each ap-
plicant receiving four votes. Super
intendent Middleton was present at
the meeting but had not qualified.
Three days later he did so, and his
first official act was to vote for Miss
Harrison, making five votes.
Friends of Mss Browning contend
ed that his vote would count to break
the deadlock only If he were present
and qualified. and several attorneys
differed on the law and the attorney
general was appealed to.
Chairman w. r. Davis, of the di-
visional board, has refused to sign
any contract with a teacher until the
controversy was settled. but as soon
as a written opinion is received no
doubt a contract will be made with
Miss Harrison. Miss Browning has
been in charge of the grade for sew
eral weeks.

NORTH YARDS OF
]. G. ARB OPENED
AFTER LONG TIME

Freight business with the Illinois
Central railroad has been increasing
so rapidly that the north yards will
be reopened, after being closed for
nearly two years. Since closing the
yards have been filed with bad or
der cars: but switch engines are busy
moving the cars. and next week the
north bound freight trains will be
made up in the yard east of the
shops. All of the freight trains have
been made up in the south yard, but
II is congested now, and IL is neces-
sary to reopen the north yard.
The opening of the yards will give
employment to about 30 additional
men, and will give the railroad the
hum of old times. The bad order
cars are being placed on the repair
tracks and will be placed in running
order as rapidly as possible, as ur-
gent calls are being made for more
rolling stock. AT present the Illinois
Central has nine switch engines busy
switching cars, and is the same num-
Der used before the financial depres
sion. The freight business is as
heavy as before the panic, railroad
officials state. and is increasing rap
idly. With the new yard it will be
much easier to care for freight
trains, as for the past months the
south yard has been congested until
it was difficult to get out the trains
regularly. The north yard has a ca
pacity of about 400 cars.
