QUESTION OF PICKING
MULES CAUSES DISPUTE

Guthrie Okla, June 16.-John Mitch
secretary of the state board of nor
NAL regents, has locked horns with
the state board of public affairs over
the question as to who shall select a
pair of mules to be used on the farm
of the negro agricultural and normal
college at Langston.
Before the creation of the state
board of public affairs, Mr.. Mitch was
purchasing agent for the Langston
board and also for the board of nor.
NAL regents. Since the creation of
that board he has been designated by
the regents of Langston university as
the agent of the board for making out
acquisitions upon the board of public
affairs for supplies. The Langston
school wants to purchase pair of
mules, but desires to select its own
animals. The board of public affairs
on the other hand, has asked Mr.
Mitch to make requisition upon it and
the board itself will make the selec-
tion.
Il do not desire to be arbitrary in
the matter, and am very glad to give
up the arduous duties of purchasing
for all the state educational institu-
tions to the board of public affairs"
said Mr.. Mitch today, but believe
that | should be permitted to at least
pick the team of mules that would
be suitable for the class of work re-
quired at Langston."

Resolutions of Sympathy on the
Death of Sow. L. F. Dorm.

Whereas death has. againsinvaded
our. ranks and removed from us all
that is mortal of Sow l.. L.. Dorm
and whereas we as a camp lament
the untimely death of our deceased
Sovereign which has cast a gloom
not only over II little community,
but the entire county and state: and
while we bow in humble submission
to thewill of the Sovereign of the
universe who doeth all things well,
yet we desire to place upon perma-
nent record our appreciation and
love for our deceased Sovereign.
Therefore be it resolved:
lst. That in the death of Sover-
eign Dorm the State has lost a pa
triotic citizen, his family a kind and
thoughtful p%rovider, his church and
community a loyal supporter, and
this camp a Woodman faithful in
the principles of the order.
End. That we commend his untir-
ing enegy in every good word and
work, his constancy, his promptness
in business matters, his sympathy for
the distressed, and his generosity
towards his friends, as worthy the
emulation of every member of this
camp.
3rd. That we heartily enter into
sympathy with the family of our de-
ceased Sovereign, pledging them
our prayers and aid in every way
possible to Tighten the burden under
which they are laboring.
eth. That a blank page in our
minute book be inscribed TO his
memory, and that a copy of these
resolutions be presented the family
and a copy be sent the Edgefield
Advertiser, for publication.
Respectfully submitted,
D. A. j. BELL,

President TAFT 8 visit.

a custom of recent origin,
amounting almost to an unwritten
law, requires the President of the
United States to vacate the White
House for a season and make tour
of the States in order to meet with
and address the people of all class
es and conditions. In pursuance of
this custom, President Taft has just
completed a journey of $4,000
miles, making upwards of $50
speeches.
The President reached the Dor
ders of South Carolina Friday and
became first a guest of the city of
Charleston, and then proceeded to
Columbia Saturday morning, where
he was entertained by the citizens
of South Carolina. President Taft
delivered a twenty-minutes' speech
at the Fair grounds at one o'clock,
and spoke again after the luncheon,
making most favorable impression
upon his hearers.
Although he is honored above
all other American citizens, the
chief executive of the greatest of
modern nations, Mr.. Taft, unlike
the rulers of European nations and
possibly some former occupants OF
the White House, is a modest, unas.
Stunning man. The honors that have
been heaped upon him and the great
Difference that is shown him on
every hand have not caused him tc
esteem himself more highly than
he should" or to lose sight of hi!
duty and obligations to the masses
of the American people.
In addressing the people of thii
and other southern states, Presiden
Tafthas evidenced more kindly ant
more cordial feeling for the Soutl
than has hitherto been expressed b.
any Republican President, and it i
gratifying to know that this beautl
full spirit has been ~reciprocate'
wherever he has been. We do no
believe that Mr.. Taft's visit will
have a feathers weight in breaking
the Solid South" politically, sucl
not being his purpose, but we do be
lieve that the personal contact, to
gether with the interest manifested
by the President in the South ant
his repeated assurances of friend
ship will lead to a better understand
ing of the members of the two grea
political parties and the people o
the two sections of this our commol
country. So mote it be!

Were the very pretty and unique
cards that were received by a hos
of young people from Mr.. and Mrs
S. T. Adams.
Tho the eventful day dawned
fair and bright, towards evening
clouds gathered, bringing rain ii
torrents, but ere the appointed houl
the skies were bright with stars and
moonbeams cast long ghost-like
shadows DER paths and drives. The
landscape was full of unwonted
charm. Indeed an ideal evening
for the Halloween Spirit.
The wide colonial hall, parlor and
dining room were virtually an au-
tumn forest. The purple-bronze of
sweet-gum We'd with the crimson
and gold of the maple in this har-
monious picture. The soft light of
iack-o-lanterns blended the colors
exquisitely.
Half hidden among the branches
were black capped, long faced witch
res. Perched as if on guard were
shy solemn-eyed owls, while clinging
to walls and picture frames, even
f~uttering on the yellow streamers,
which reached from corners to great
swinging Jack-o-lanterns, were bats.
Under a bower of autumn glory
and between huge pumpkin Jack-o-
lanterns was the punch bowl, grace
fully presided over by Miss Ethel
Ragsdale.
Guests were welcomed by the
witch" of somber robes and stern
visage-conducted first to the entic-
ing bower and BOWL" thence to
the parlor, games of chance, bob
bling for apples and fortune telling.
Supper and it's decorations, were in
keeping with the spirit of the eve
ming. Dainty salads, pickles, and
sandwiches, cakes, delicious ice
cream and fruits were served. Over
the table was a cloth of black, SPAN
gled with hearts, crescents and stars
of gold and silver, lighted with
iack-o-lanterns on corners and cen
ter, and tied to each pumpkin stem
were huge bows with yellow stream
ers /, extending to ceiling decora-
tons.
Cutting the witch" cake contain
ing the ring, thimble and dime was
an amusing feature of the evening.
At the mystic hour of twelve, lights
were turned low, around the blazing
bowl of grapes, salt alcohol, walk
ed the Ghosts" the burning mass
casting a livid, CHASTITY hue over
the rosy, mirthful faces. Lights
were then turned up. This climax
fttingly closed the evening.

walls in Chinese Government Circles.
Toxic, Aug. 10.-A request that ia
pan suspend work on the Antung- Muk-
den railway in Manchuria is the sub
stance Of China's reply to Japan's re-
cent note announcing immediate COM
mencement Of reconstruction work on
the road. The reply states that China
wishes to continue the negotiations.
China adds that she hopes for an
amicable settlement of all outstand-
ing difficulties.
Japan's reply to this request was
polite but firm. It was made plain
the negotiations concerning the An
tung- Mukden road had been closed for
ever in SO far as they related to that
section of road between Mukden and
Chesiangtun and that it would not be
necessary to suspend work to reach
an agreement on that one strip. Re-
garding all other matters, the reply
continues, Japan will proceed with
pleasure,
