MIR. K. M. Barnes for Clerk of
Court.

Mr.. Editor, is rot often
that l air my political views
through the columns of the press
and yet | feel as much interest
in the Democracy Of Robson
county as any man who resides
within her borders, and from the
memorable days of the sixties I
have been working and laboring
for the success of cur party.
While | have now passed my
three-score and ten mile post, yet
my interest has not abated. / re-
greet that our political affairs are
in the condition they are in Robe
son today, but as the darkest
hour is just before day, l trust
we are on the eve of that bright
er day when peace and goodwill
shall once more prevail within
our ranks, and the banner of
pure Democracy can once more
be unfurled to the breeze. In Or
der to do this, we must select our
best men for Office, giving each
section it's representation. / note
where Mr.. Stone. Of McDonalds,
in suggesting Mr.. Skipper for
clerk. gives among other reasons
why he should be elected that
Mr.. Shippers only revenue is his
law practice and that he is a
prominentBaptist. We want to
say just here that we have no
filings to make at any Of the as
pirants for clerk; they are all
good men, they are all our friends:
but we have our preferences,
and he is not a Presbyterian.
Being raised, as the writer was,
a strict Presbyterian, one Of our
cardinal doctrines is the separa-
ton of Church and State and we
have never championed and shall
never champion the cause Of any
man because he is a Presbyteri-
an. Our choice in this contest
| for clerk is member Of the
Methodist church, and in max
ing this choice we give only two
of many reasons Our choice is
K. M. Barnes, Of Sterlings town
ship. Now, it is true Mr.. Barnes
is not a pauper. neither can he
be rated as capitalist, but bet
ter still he is rated as a high
toned Christian gentleman and
an ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS and
held in the highest esteem by
those who know him.
| Our first reason in selecting
Mr.. Barnes is for the good Of the
Democratic party. He comes
from section ofRobeson county
!, that has had no representation
, in any of the county Offices, eN.
cept that of commissioners, lr
twenty years, and yet this sec.
, ton has always helped US cleo
our ticket. Now they il turf
have selected one of their bes
men, thoroughly capable OF fill
5 ing the office Of clerk, to repre-
sent their section. 1t is then Gu
duty to rally to Mr.. Barnes am
lower Robson and by our vote
make him clerk Of the court.
e Our second reason in select:n:
# Mr.. Barnes, briefly stated,
: this: Mr.. Humphrey, the presen
al incumbent, mas served 10
+ twelve years. If there is al.
" money or honor in it, it is tim

GIRL SONG BIRD AT
LAST DISCL0sES IDENTITY
YOUNG Woman Whose Voice Amazed
Experts in New York Makes
Known True Name

LINCOLN, Neb., Jan. 30.-Shroud-
ing her identity in mystery until she
had realized the ambition of her life,
the Miss Mary La Sale, who as
founded the directors of the Metropol-
itan opera house in New York recent
ly, by her wonderful voice, wrote a
letter to surprised friend in her OLD
home at Beatrice, Neb, from New
York. just before she stepped on board
a steamer bound for italy, saying that
she was Jessie Richmond.
The trip to Florence, Italy, where
she will study under lombard, has
been Miss Rfchmonds life dream, and
her letter, short communication,
brings back to those who remembered
her here the story of her long and dis
couraging struggle to win the recognl-
ton which she knew was to be hers.
She is tWenty-three years old. Her
parents died several years ago and the
young girl set out to distinguish her.
self in the world of music. Local mu-
sicians heard her sing and they were
interested, but they saw no great fu-
ture for her and offered little encour-
agement. Despite this she gave up all
her time to voice development and
went over the ground again, but it was
no use-she was not at all remarkable.
MISS ItlCnInOIlQ lGll Il6I Olu hume DS-
lieving that untrodden fields would
bring her the success she sought. She
went to Chicago, where she took the
name of Mary La Sale, adopted from
her mothers maiden name, Lazelle.
Her home. she told inquirers, was "in
the west"
For several months her Beatrice eX-
periences were paralleled. Finally she
became a pupil of w. L, Hfbbard, a
music critic and voice cultiVator. Mr..
Hibbard, after a few trials, became
convinced that the young woman was
possessed of remarkable ability and he
featured her at several concerts. Ri
cardo Martin, a member of the New
York Metropolitan Opera House COM
pany, attended one of these recitals
and the quality of her soprano tones
so struck him that he procured an
interview with her.
Martin urged the young woman to
visit New York Happy beyond meas
ure, she accepted. On her arrival in
that city she sang. before Gatti-Ca-
sazza, the Metropolitan impresario,
Allesandro Bonci and several Man
haitian society leaders. They were
most lavish in their praises and hailed
her as a second Melba.
For several days Miss Richmond
was feted at the homes of society
women and showered with presents.
Through it all she preserved her in
cognito, reserving for her hour OF
triumph the announcement of her
identity.

Especial to The Herald.l

HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 30.-The past
week has been a strenuous one for
the city trustees and the ensuing one
will be much the same. The city fathers
have been holding special meetings al
most every night and hope to have
everything in shape to be turned over
to the Los Angeles officials when the
time comes.
one of the reasons for this extra
work has been the great demand by
residents for improved streets The
residents believe it will be an easier
matter to get the proceedings for i'm
proving the streets through the city
trustees than it will be through the
Los Angeles council, which has SO
much more business tC look after, and
are trying to get their streets provided
for before the. change in the govern
ment AS a consequence. the city
trustees have to hold a number of ad-
iourned meetings to consider these
matters.
The effect of last Mondays election
on the real estate market is being
felt already. A number Of new real
estate offices have been opened by
companies in the city ana the local
real estate dealers are being kept busy.
There has been a decided rise in real
estate and the dealers say the future
never looked better than at the present
time.
The Barber Asphalt Paving company
has begun the work of improving Hol-
lywood boulevard. The trustee board
of the Hollywood Union high school
has arranged for all of the dirt from
the street from Palm to Orange ave
nues for the athletic park which is
being graded at the same time.

The board will first take up the matter
of a site. It's task has grown enor-

sidered as close in. One is west of
Fair Oaks avenue and several blocks
below Colorado street, and is the only
site west of what is now considered the
center of population. The other close
in site is the proposed extension of the
present high school site.
Whether the new building will in
clude all the required space in one
structure, or in several structures. is
a matter still undetermined. With the
new building completed, polytechnic
instruction will be Incorporated in a
larger degree in the high school
courses, and the tendency now seems
TO be toward several buildings. The
