Democratic Club Meeting.

At the regular meeting of the Democratic club Wednesday night considerable discussion was raised over the new primary ballot, where blank lines al e left to write in a candidates name. It was demon strated by Frank Laine and others that the law was not mandatory for a candidate to apply to the board of supervisors for place ou the pri- mary ticket, but by doing so he could have his name printed thereon. Furthermore, if a democrat should write a republican name ou demo- cratic ballot whose name is not on the republican ballot, that ballot would be void and thrown out or vice versa.
 The meeting was enthusiastic and well attended. The democrats are well organized and expect to sweep the new county to man at the cleo tion in November.

Arizona Copper COmpany's Condition
(Boston Market Reporter. )

Finally taking cognizance of the condition of it's plant and property
 the management of the Arizona. Cop per Company has decided upon some large expenditures. One of the inn provements to be effected will be the enlargement of number six concen- trator located in MOrenci, Atizoua. At the mine new shaft will be sunk. John Gill, chairman of the company, was recently in New York cOnferriug with the Phelps-Dodge aud other in- terests regarding the construction of a new shelter for joint use. MT. Gill returned to Scotland where the Ari- zona company is controlled, without having come to any definite under standing on the matter. Since his return home the Arizona company stockholders have held their semi
 annual meeting at which time It was stated that "the directors now realize that to maintain the company's posi- tion the most economical methods of mining, and smelting must be adopted even at the cost of considerable out
 lay of capital. The capacity of num-
 Der six concentrator will be enlarged, a new shaft sunk and tunnel con- nections extended. This the man. apement believes will enable the low grade ore to be proftably worked, a thing difficult under present copper conditions. J. G. Hopkins, a we'll
 known mining man has about the only American interest in the Arizona Copper Company. He was formerly its managing director and while oc- cupying that position he made many and continued efforts to have the plant and property brought up to standard whereby competition with Americau-owned mines would be

4 Pleasant Surprise.

At the residence of Rev. Curry H.
 and Mrs. Love north Clifton on Mon day afternoon and evening there oc-
 cured a surprise to them that was
 complete in every respect. It leaked out that September 26 was the 9th, anniversary of their wedding day, and quiet preparations were made for a surprise party by their many
 friends, and to say that a surprise party came of is not saying much. At about 3 o'clock several ladies entered the home and took procession, giving the la5y of the house just five minutes to dress. The Rev. came over from town where he had been giving some points on the coming election for school superintendent, and wondered what had broke loose in his part of the town, and he soon found out. From that time on till dark they kept coming, and when the count was made there was most hundred seated on the grass and else where all having good time and lors of fun out of the couple in whose honor they had gathered. Dick Franz W. J. Riley O. J. CoteY, Prof. Jamisor were there and they all vied each other in making everybody enjoy themselves. The jollfcation was kept up until about 10 o'clock and will be remembered of one of the most pleasant times ever experienced in Clifton.

4. & N. NJ. RaiIwly ImprOveme als.

Along the line of the A. & N M. Railway Mir. O. J. Cotey, construction overseer has a force of fourty men rebuilding all bridges and culverts with solid concrete abutmeut's, with the roadbed across them filled in and reinforced with gravel, thus covering all the timber work and making all structores fire proof. These improve ments extend along the entire line of road from Hachita to Clifton and when completed the A. & N M. the best and hardest roadbed of any :ail- way in the southwest, and the im- mense heavy traffic of the road fully warrants the big expenditure of capital necessary for this work, as the Clifton-Morenci district has a demand for more heavy freight than any other one section of Arizona.

Concert at Empire Theater.

One of the best musical entertain- ments offered in Clifton for some time was the concert given by Prof. Bonds Concert Company at Empire Theste last Tuesday evening. The program was exceptionally good and every number was rendered in an art SCIc nduner.
 Prof. Bond is former resident of Clifton and all are acquainted with his standing as a musician and the audience appreciated listening to him once more. Miss Whipple, also re- sident of Clifton, was excellent and showed marked ability in her rendi- tions and was heartily receined each number in which she appeared. Mrs. Mae Welsh and Miss Clella Buns are accomplished musicians and each number in which they appeared showed their technique to be perfect.
 The young violinist, David Hol- guin, is wonder and deserves more than usual attention. He is a boy of extraordinary ability and his genius is exceptional for one so young.
 Seldom, if at all, have the people of Clifton had the opportunity of listening to so talented a musical prodigy. Prof. Bond has discovered a wonder and the young man has a most brilliant future in the musical world.
 The concert was rare treat to the lovers of classical music and those who did not attend missed a most enioyable evening.

ed at the Kimball House
On The Primary

The only bet posted at the Kimball
house last night was 5000 to be
placed at even money that Hoke
Smith would carry Fulton county
1t had been post for about "a hours,
and no one had turned up to take
it.
All of the money offered on Gov
ernor Brown on the state was COB
bled up early in the day by the
Smith men, and the management of
the hotel announced that no more
wagers would be posted.
When the Smith supporters call
ed to take the three bets of ST 900,
which were posted at the hotel, it
developed that actually there was
only ST, 900 on deposit. The other
money had been taken down, but
the signs offering it for wager had
not been removed. The Smith men
wanted not only the three bets of
$1,000 each, but had to offer an ad-
ditional $500 on Smith.
Manager Burns, of the hotel, tele-
phoned to some one, and finally the
$4,000 was raised and placed on
Governor Brown.
This betting business takes too
much of my time" said Mr.. Burns,
in explanation of his reason for ceas-
ing to post bets.
Many mouth" bets were made on
the streets, but very little money
was actually wagered. There were
a few small bets on the result in
various counties.

Business licenses formed 1928 per
cent of the general revenues in the

taxes formed only 53,1 per cent, an
unusual condition among the cities
of the United States. Business Ii
censes also formed large percen-
tage, 14.5, of the general revenues
of the cities of Georgia.
In most of the cities sewers, pave,

is the general property tax, but there
is a marked variation from the
practice in several cities, especially
in the West. Oklahoma City re-

From a careful analysis of the

kers and Montgomery, received
enough money from taxes and all
other revenues during 1908 to meet
their payments for expenses and
interest, but that only SO cities
