bine. said to have been recently
formed in this city. and which had
advanced the price of ice to a point
much higher than was thought justi.
fable to insure reasonable profit to
the manufacturer.
A committee composed of John 7.

Meehan. who had been appointed at
"a previous meeting, brought in re-
port of their findings which report

manufacturing company, who agreed
to furnish the association members as
well as others, all the ice they may
need. in quantities from one block
(about 200 poundsl on up. at the rate
of $3.50 per ton, provided the mem
bers individually gave his company
written contracts that they will use
no other ice during this season.

proposition, provided the company
would make this same price for a
term of five years and bind itself to
deliver any quantity wanted. The
proposition was accepted by the rep
resentative.

have found it necessary to request Sheriff c. M Philpot to send for them and see that they are brought in to be inspected and counted. It ;s an impossibility with the present system of receiving ballot boxes, af- ter elections in this county, to even estimate the results in any contest not to mention the totals. Something ought to be done to compel the judges and clerks to send in the complete and accurate returns from each country precinct and ward i'm mediately after the count is finished and the ballots ought to be counted immediately and totaled after the polls close on election day. If the public will assist the morning news papers they will get the returns con- plete on the morning after every election. The Gazette makes a just plea and it should continue to urge the legislature to take up the matte f and find a remedy. The Graphic will aid it in the movement and every other morning paper in the state will do likewise Keep at 'em, Editor Heiskell.

Congressman Joe T. Robinson has announced for Governor, and al- though it is little early to predict the outcome of the race, it looks as if he has walk-over. The only oth- CT aspirant for the office just now is Attorney General Hal Norwood, who has intimated that he will seek the nomination for chief executive of the state at the next primary elec- tion. Congressman Robinson has made an enviable record in Congress and is campaigner of remarkable ability. He would make an admir- able governor and the people of Jef- ferson county and the Sixth Congress sional district will doubtless show their appreciation of his past sue cessful efforts in their behalf by giv- ing him a handsome majority.
