MUCH INDIGNATION OVER
APPOINTMENT OF NEGRO


The first attempt to appoint negro
to office in this county was that Sat
urday when Blunt Martin was appoint
ed deputy constable, under Trotter &
Lyons and took the oath before Justice
of the Peace Neville. This appoint
ment turned out rather disastrous
however for General Blunt, for Satur-
day night he was arrested by the
sneriff's force on charge of carry
ing a concealed weapon. He showed
what was a commission but it is
claimed that deputy must take the
oath before the county clerk and this
Martin did not do. He was released
on bond to appear at the next term of
the county court The arrest was
made by Deputy Baxley.
The appointment of negro has
aroused a storm of indignation, that
will take weeks to suppress. There is
a question as to the authority of any
constable carrying a weapon and 1t is
not improbable that test case will
be made.

CHOCTAW INDIANS
WILL OPPOSE SALE
Lawyers Contracts For Big Fees Not
Valid, choctaw Attorney
Claims.

McAIester, OKLA, June 27. - d. G.
McCurtain, a son of Governor Green
McCurtain of the Choctaw Nation, and
a member of the law firm of McCur-
tain & Hill, Saturday sent message
to Senator LaFollette in which he
saids
THE Indians are not opposed to
the immediate disposition of all of the
tribal property, but are strongly op-
posed to the sale of the surface coal
lands or other portions, the disposal
of which would prove an injury to the
balance
McCurtain holds that the individual
Indian can not enter into a contract
bearing upon the undivided tribal
property of the Indian Nation and
therefore contends that ]. NJ McMur-
rays contracts are not valid.
"McMurray's contracts do not rep.
resent the elective sentiment Of the
Indians" he said. because these con,
tracts have been procured ard in many
cases tlhs man signed ehe contract be-
cause he saw on Jne of them the
name of man he knew to be a good
man and Of more education than he
possessed"
McCuftain and Hill have a con
tract with the Choctaw Indians to
transact probate matters for the In
dians.

Autos Killed II People And Hurt
ST in AUGUST

New York, Sept 2-Seventeen per-
sons were killed and 81 injured in auto
accidents the past month, according to
the figures tabulated by the National
Highways Protective association and
given out by Secretary Edward S. Cor
nell. Nine persons were run down by
autos and the chauffeurs escaped by
putting on the power. Of this nine,
Edward T. Rosenheimer, now under
bail for the killing of Miss Grace Hough
in the Bronx, was the only one captured.
Rosenheimer is to have a hearing be-
fore the coroner next week.
OF the II persons killed, six were
children. Secretary Cornell says some
of the parents of the children were re-
sponsible because they permitted their
children to take fearful chances in the
street.
For the increase in the number of &C
cidents owners of machines are held re-
sponsible, as IA of them were driving at
the time they occurred.

The Social Breakfast.

A London newspaper wonders why
we no longer invite people to break
fast. The reason is to be found in the
state Of mind that usually possesses
the free and independent citizen at
that hour in the morning. a state of
mind that makes him unbearable to
himself and to every one who comes
near him. Presumably it was not ever
so, for invitations to breakfast were
once common enough. and not so long
ago either. Mr.. Gladstone used to
have guests to breakfast every Thurs
day morning as recently as 1884, and
1t was thought sufficient to supply tea
and coffee eggs. bread and butter and
perhaps some cold meat. But the
really solid breakfast had come into
fashion long before then. and it is
said that the English learned the fash
ion from the Scotch. Motley. when he
was ambassador to England, found
that the substantial breakfast was
grievously opposed to the simpler GUS
toms Of his own country. He says.

pie would lunch at 2 and dine at s

DIDN'T SEE TRAIN.
Gate Tender Raised Barrier and
Auto Is Run Down.

Paterson, N. j., Aug. 26. Albert
Froelich of this city and his 16-year-old
daughter, Henrietta, were instantly
killed tonight when an express train
struck his automobile squarely in the
side at grade crossing here. Chester
Foyle, an 11-year-old boy, has serious
internal injuries and may die. Three
other children were slightly cut and
bruised. Only the promptness of a
trolley conductor in throwing derailing
switch saved moving car, loaded with
passengers, from following the auto
mobile to destruction.
The gate tender had just lowered the
gates for one express train and did not
see, when he raised them, that another
express was bearing down from the OPP
posite direction. A tower man realized
the danger and shouted warning. He
was too late to save the automobile, but
the conductor of the trolley car who
had just stepped off his car and gone
ahead heard him and let go the handle
of the derailing switch he was just
throwing into alignment. A spring
threw the switch back into derailment
and the heavy trolley grinding around a
sharp curve, brought up against the
curb, safe.

Bio Clocks,

The big clock of the Metropolitan
tower at Madison square. New York.
is by long odds the costliest and most
elaborate public timepiece ever con-
structed and is the only great clock in
the world operated wholly by electric
ity without the touch of human hands
Some of its other wonders are its size
being the largest four dial tower clock
and the third largest clock of any size
in the world. and its altitude, which
is the highest of any clock in the
world 1t has also the biggest and
heaviest striking bell.
The other three largest clocks are
the one face dial of the Colgate fac
tory in Jersey City, which is forty feet
across, the next in size of mammoth
public chronometers being the dial at
St. Bombort's, in the old city of Ma
lines, in Belgium. which is thirty-nine
feet across. st. Peters of Zurich,
Switzerland. has a dial face twenty
nine feet, and then in order comes the
Metropolitan tower clock. which is
twenty-six feet six inches in diameter.

Three Killed.

New YORK, Aug. %. Three persons
were killed and nine were severely hurt
this afternoon when an automobile
crashed into the side of construction
train on the Long Island railroad at the
Merrick road crossing at Springfield,

seriously injured. Both the automo-
bile and the construction train were
wrecked.
The dead are: j. Berbon, so years
old, New York city, chauffeur of the
wrecked automobile; Bertha Weiss, II
years old, New York, niece of the
owner of the car; Rebecca Glass, nine
years old, New York city.
OF the seriously injured, Mrs. Bella

tured leg. She can hardly survive
Charles Snyder, conductor of the train,
had his right leg broken. Mrs. Frances
Glass suffered a fractured thigh and
other injuries. Her condition is crit
cal. John Fido, laborer on the con-
struction train, had his breast bone
crushed, and will probably die.
The automobile, which belonged to
Adolph Hirsch of Far Rockaway, en-
countered closed gates at the crossing,
which had been lowered by the gateman
because of passing freight train. On
the other side of the freight train was
the construction train, unseen by the
gateman or the automobile party.
So, when he raised the gates just as
the freight went by, the automobile
shot forward and jammed itself under a
flat car of the construction train.
Pinned in this fashion, and with the flat
car careening on its trucks, the auto
mobile was dragged more than POO feet,
finally rolling down the embankment
with one of the fiat cars.
Berbon, the chauffeur, was so badly
crushed that he died instantly. The lit

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1910.
Auto m obile Roads.

Automobiles of Massachusetts are
more or less surprised over the ruling
lust made by Atty. Gen. Edward r.
O'Malley, of New York, that motorists
with licenses in the state are not en-
titled to drive their cars in New York
without license of that state. The
same ruling applies to Vermont and
Connecticut The ruling comes under
the new law which went into
effect August l. boston Transcript
The system adopted in New
York state by this new law and
also, as we understand, in New Jersey
and other states that automobiles
entering the state must pay a license
for the privilege of using the roads is
absolutely essential so long as they are
permitted to use them at all, and the
license fee should be fully sufficient to
pay all damages caused by such auto
mobiles.
Nor would any other suggestion be
thought of except by the manufacturers
of automobiles, who are anxious to
make their sales as large as possible,
and possibly those interested in their
advertisements. That is, any other
suggestions come from selfish motives,
or want of business acumen, and should
not be considered at all by those whose
business it is to care forthe highways.
In conversation recently with one
of the highway commissioners of
New Jersey, this gentlemen said that
it was impossible to build a road in New
Jersey which would withstand the ordi-
nary wear of automobiles passing over
it for less than SO, 900 a mile bridges
not included), and that such a road
could be kept in repair for the use
of automobiles for about 500 a year
per mile, provided it was not situated
between two large cities, and also pro-
vided that the automobiles were not
permitted to go over 20 miles an hour.
He also said it was absolutely impos-
sible to build any roads that would not
quickly be ruined if the automobiles
exceed % miles an hour, and badly in
jured if they went over 20.
Any sensible Vermonter can see that
we cannot afford to build any roads at
$4,000 a mile And indeed the whole
idea of building roads for motor engines
to run on will soon be a relic of the past.
Let them build their own roads.
