RETURNS FROM NORFOLK

Unless the unexpected happens. the
special committee probing into fraud
charges growing out Of the recent
Democratic congressional primary in
the Second district should be able TO
complete its labors by Saturday night.
October /. according to Mr.. clyde ".
Saunders. Of Richmond, member of the
committee from the Third district.
Mr.. Saunders has returned from
Norfolk pending the filing OF specific
charges before the committee by coun-
sci for Congressman Maynard and w
A. Young. contestant and contestee. re-
spectively. The contestant, he says
has been given until next Friday morn
ing at 10 O'Clock within which to file
charges, while the contestee has from
that time until the following Tuesday
morning at the same hour to present
his side of the case In specific form
before the committee.
Return Home Saves Expenses.
Chairman Mcintyre and two COM
mitteemen, Messrs Ailworth and
Echols, decided to remain on the scene
until we are ready TO get down to
business in earnest said Mr.. Saun-
GERS wednesday morning. The other
committeeman in attendance concluded
that they had jug. as we'll be at home
In the meantime, in order to save ex-
penses. We viii have five days in
which to give the case a full hearing,
and see no reason why We should not
get through by next Saturday night
week. We are going to pay practically
no attention to technicaiities, cur aim
being to get all the evidence and facts
possible. Ii is our expectation to con-
duct the entire hearing in Norfolk. but
Ii Is possible that we may have to go
out into the district TO get evidence, IL
II Is found cheaper and more expedi-
ent to do so than TO summon witnesses
to Norfolk from the remoter sections.
We have ordered the chairmen OF all
the city and county committees to send
their poll books and other election par
aphernalia to Norfolk without delay,
and that we hope, will help us con-
siderably in expediting the work
People Given Square Deal.
Mr.. Saunders said further that the
attorneys representing the people in
the contest will be given ample oppor-
tunity to lay bare any frauds they
may have knowledge of.
The probing committee, IL it con-
ciudes its labors in time. Will report
the result Of Its findings to the State
central committee Tuesday night, Oc-
tober 4. Otherwise, IL is thought likely
that the time would be extended a few
days.
MIR. Saunders expects TO return to
Norfolk next Monds" night.

GET BUSY AND BOOST.

Get busy and boost for your own home town,
Don't stand on the corner and run it down,
Don't cuss the Mayor and say the towns dead,
That's only what some foolish knocker has said:
But boost for your City and cry Forge ahead"
And let the knockers knock.
Get busy and boost for your home market place,
Don't go round with long drawn face
Crying out that prices are far too high
Thus giving your merchants a backened eye,
But boost like jolly boy. "Never say die"
And let the knockers knock.
Get busy and boost for your own towns rights,
Don't join the knockers in their petty fights,
If you listen to them and let the town 90,
When it fails they'll say 81 told you so,
''This town is noted for being Slow"
For knockers always knock.
Boost for your home town-help win the fight
Boost all the time with all your might,
Build up a city of blazing light,
Turn on the knockers and put them to fight;
They'll bump their heads they drop from sight
For knockers always knock.

many parents are taking advan-

Good, pure, clean comedy, the
Toymaker's Dream, Sunday,
Sept. Is, at Reserve. 49,
Charivan.

This word has an obscure origin.
1t is derived from two latin word. avari'
or 4vali" meaning probably noise and
changing of bells, and @chari' or 4chali,'
the Specification of which We are ksft to
seek.
At any rate, it is an old established
custom with us and is indulged in when
ever a widow or widower remarriee.
Mutual friends congregate and provide
themselves with horns. tin pans, bells etc.
and proceed to serenade the couple.
The concurrent noise is confusing,
hideous and annoying to the happy
couple who generally submit gracefully
to the inevitable, and all drink to their
health.
On Wednesday night, the left bank of
the river near Lions was the scene OF a
scharivari.'
Inc still night silence was broken and
the air reverberated with the cries and
noise of a multitude of seranaders.
We failed to learn the names of the
couple whose marriage prompted the
usual demonstration.
