NO ELECTION IN RANDOLPH.
Movement For a 500, 900 Bond Issue
For Roads Is OFF.

The county commissioners have
decided not to hold a bond election
for the purpose of raising 100000
to be used in road improvement, as
planned.
The commissioners have not ex-
perienced a change of heart in re-
gard to good roads, but on investi-
cation they found that the number
of registered voters is so small that
it would be well-nigh impossible to
secure votes sufficient to obtain the
necessary majority to carry the cleo
ton.
This is to be regretted, as the
county funds available for road work
are insufficient to build good high
ways as fast as the needs of the citi-
zens equire.-Cuthbert Leader.

eral days later sailed from New YorH

Of Agate Type Tell the
Tale Of Death
In Hospital Of HelTess Who
Married "Candy Kid" 7.


New York, June 12.-Three lines of

column of the morning papers carried
the news Saturday that death had
ended the romance of Margaret Leav-
lit, the young heiress. who ran away

chauffeur for Jim COrbett, the prize
fighter.
The advertisement did not say where
Mrs. Snollen died and the family re-
fused to discuss its grief. but mas
much as it was understood that Mrs.
Smollen went abroad, it was supposed
that she died in Europe. 1t became
known Friday night, however, that she
died Friday at a private sanitarium
in this city, whittier she was taken
from hotel on recommendation of a
Bellevue hospital gynecologist.
Margaret Leavitr was the daughter
of G. Rowland Leavitt, millionaire
of Bayside. L. T., and was said to be
worth $1.000,0O0 in her own right. She
fell in love with Smollen, who mad left
the service of Corbett to become
chauffeur for her father and when her
family disapproved, married him
against their will in Jersey City. Three
months later, when they separated, the
husband declared that his wife had
been weaned away from him. They
did not meet again, except for an ap-
pointment in a lawyers office, when
Mrs. Smollen asserted her irrevocable
intention to live alone.
Shortly afterward it was announced
that the disillusoned bride had gone
to Europe. She was not seen at her
fathers home again and Saturday an
| nouncement of her death was the first
that has been heard of her since her
marital troubles gained notoriety.
