About the Market House and Other
Raleigh Doings.

Some disinterested parties might find
a location for the market il they had
not already got busy with interest

This is curious. Some parties bought
land near the old Prairie building and
proceeded to help sell themselves to
the market house at a terrible profit.

Ei-DANIELSITES DEMORAL
IZEE.
An Intellectual Effort to Get One of
the "Straight" Democrats to With
draw from the Ticket, by One of
tho Joe-JO Crowd

tho Joe-JO Crowd.
The "Jo-Jo" branch of the Wake
County Democrats are badly democrat
lied since the advent of the straight"
Democratic ticket, named by old-line
Democrats in mass meeting here on
October 1st. Desperate efforts to dis
credit the movement having failed,
they are now bending every energy
to induce some of the candidates to
withdraw
AS a sample of this, it is stated on
excellent authority that lawyer, who
is intimately associated with Josiah
William Bailey, went to close friend
of Mr.. CASTOR Powell and asked the
friend to induce Mr.. Powell to with
draw from the straight ticket. The
friend replied that he not only would
most emphatically not do so, but that
he would loan his automobile and if
necessary loan funds to Mr.. Powell
to make an active canvass; and the
"Jo-Jo' emissary departed.
Efforts have been made to get
some of the Republican candidates to
withdraw, but without success. In
this connection it can be said truly of
the Republican ticket that every man
was called to the ticket, and did not
engage in an unseemly and ugly fight
to get it.
Close political observers; even pro-
nounced Democrats of both factions,
privately agree that every indication
points to the success of the Republic
can ticket. The breach made by the
venemous and dirty campaign of the
"Jo-Jo" leaders and their organ, the
News and Observer, has rightly en-
Filtered many, and their present at
titude of begging the old-lino Demo-
Gratis to come to their aid, after their
abuse, meets only with a contemptu-
Gus refusal.

Forest Fires In Vermont.

Arthur +. Halves, state forester. ha,
issued a pamphlet on forest fires IL
the state, the purpose of which is to
give the experience of the first four wears
| of operation of the fire law and to point
out means of prevention found most ef-
fective by the wardens.
The figures included therein are for
the years l905-0s, during which time l4i
fires were reported The area burned
over was 1878 acres; total estimated
damage, S35,6S2.50; cost of extinguish-
ing, SO far as reported, 81 .209.l3. The
causes attributed to these IA fires are
as follows: Burning brush or stumps,
81; hunters and fishers, 90 railroads, 8;
incendiary. 10; unknown. Is; miscella-
neous, 9. Included in the miscellaneous
causes are. the following: Automobile,
balloon, berry pickers and saw mill. The
year 1908 was particularly disastrous,
the estimated damage amounting to $751;
1916. and the cost of eXtinguishing,
.SlO,76924.
The greatest number of fires in the
four-year period occurred in the month
of October, when 80 were reported. The
figures of the other months are: April,
IS; May, 5; June, Z July, l6; August, s.;
September, 80; November, 8; December,
?.
Concerning the record of the year 1909,
the reports states that the state was
particularly free from forest fires pri-
marily due to weather conditions and
absence of prolonged droughts.

BRArrLEBoRo. FRIDAY. APRIL 8. 1910

In letter published elsewhere In this
paper, Judge T.. W Gibson discusses tho
question of direct primaries, laying
stress ON the fact that this method OF
electing officers is not new nor revolu-
tionary. People who have the impress
sion that the primary election idea Is
wholly In an experimental stage should
bear In mind that II Is in force In =
states of the union with the prospect of
It's spreading materially within the next
few years. II was first used in Craw-
ford county. Penn. by the Republican
party in 1850 and has been in force there
ever since. OF the 81 United States SEN
ators elected two years ago IL were
nominated by means of the direct prl-
mary, while Is of the 81 governors
chosen that year were nominated by the
same method. Everywhere the intro
duction of the direct primary has been
opposed by the same elements that are
now fighting II in New YORK state and
vet in no state where il has once been
tried has IL ever been given up. Al
though the Vermont legislature of 1905
gave the question small consideration it
is bound to come up again this fall, and
even If the reactionaries succeed in pre-
venting its adoption at that time 1t will
come into use in this state sooner or
later.

The work of taking the census will
begin April 10 and all over the country
cities are worrying lest the count may
not come up to their claims. In this
state Rutland and Barre are each look
ing for second place, while Brattleboro.
Montpelier and ST. Johnsbury all hope
to wrest fourth place from Bennington.
The Banner hopes the Bennington EMU
merators bear this in mind and not skip
anybody eligible to be counted.-Ben-
nington Banner.
Brattleboro is not anxious to be rated
any larger than she actually is. yet on
the other hand she does not wish a single
eligible resident to 60 uncounted. Every
enumerator should begin his work next
Friday with conscientious determine
ton to do it thoroughly, and if this de-
termination is followed in every case
there can be no complaint about the
result.

Agriculturists who live along the lines
of the Rutland railroad should make ar
rangements to visit the ''better farming
special train which will start out next
week Its trip, which will cover four
DAYS, is the result of an arrangement
between the railroad company and the
University of Vermont and no pains have
been spared to make the equipment one
of unusual interest. The train will con-
sist of four cars,-a baggage car in which
profitable and Improbable cows will be
compared and in which spraying appara-
tus will be demonstrated; and three
passenger coaches, one third of the room
of which will be devoted to exhibits per-
tanning to forestry, fertilization, feeds,
dairy utensils, horticultural apparatus
and the like. At every town visited three
lO-minute speeches will be given in each
car and ample opportunity afforded for
the examination of exhibits. Among the.
speakers will be the state commissioner
of agriculture and the state forester.
Trains of this kind have been run in
various sections of the country. and the
crowds that have visited them indicate
to what extent they are appreciated by
progressive farmers.

your premises clean.
"Be careful that all doors and win

Happy Without Them.

We must all be happy unless we would
be miserable. Some women claim to
know those who are never happy unless
they are miserable, from which we might
infer that we may be happy without hap
piness itself. Too many look from the
wrong viewpoint in quest of the happy
condition, and feel that they must have
this, and that, and 'tother-(oft times
the things that make life complicated and
irving and wearisome before it can be
attained For such it is "a good exercise
to right about face, and see what they can
do without, and still be happy. That is
the true art of living, to simplify and find
happiness in the common things of life !;
the woman who today (under ordinary
daily conditions and surroundings), finds
no joy nor happiness, need never expect
to find it tomorrow, with all the friends
and wealth that it may bring her.
A group of women is SAID to have
discussed this subject once upon time
"What can woman do without and be
happyr One SAID she could do without
everything but health; another, without
everything but love, explaining, however,
that there are various kinds of love-for
the husband, for the parent. for child,
for a dear friend, or for some special
work or object in life. One thought the
ballot the only essential; another said
good looks and pretty clothes; another,
good husband and home Upon none
of these could they agree. Finally one
spoke up timidly saying that it was
something intangble-something different
that threw halo around
everything. One suggested "delusions,"
another ''illusions," saying that with
plenty of these woman is happy whether
she has, or has not, good looks, admira-
ton, brilliant intellect, the ballot, or
wealth. This seemed to be neutral
ground this special quality in the
it faith, or charity (Which is
love), or contentment, or whatever it is
to you-that provides the ''halo'' is what
makes for real happiness in every station
of life, and helps impart it to others.

Temperance people and the liquor in
terests have been having determined
fight in Massachusetts over the famous
"bar and bottle" bill, which passed the
house of representatives last week and
bids fair to become law. This bill is
designed to prevent the sale of liquor to
be taken away in bottles on premises
where it is dispensed by the drink, and
takes from the saloon the right to sell
goods by the bottle, providing that the
holder of a first-class license shall not
be entitled to one of the fourth class.
The fact that the liquor interests have
combined to defeat the measure is con-
sidered strong proof that it would be
detrimental to their business, and on that
account temperance people have given it
active and apparently successful support

ton OF the number OF deer Illegally
killed. since many earcasses are never
