tons of the war metal have been con-
yerted into implements OF peace-per-
haps literally into plowshares. There
are no houses In Centerville in which
gun barrels, shattered gun stocks,
broken swords. distorted bayonets.
furnished belt buckles and denied
canteens are not used as ornaments.
Shrapnel and canister rest on tall

Perhaps there was no regiment in
the Union army of Virginia, the army
of the Potomac and the army Of north
ern Virginia that did not march and
fight along this highway. The old
road. still deep-rutted from the supply
and artillery trains. is little travelled
now. One may walk miles without
meeting a man, but II one have the
power to talk with ghosts he should
not lack company. The mystic or
the medium might see phantom armies
travelling the road and the fields abut-
ting it. The stones in this highway
were worn by the feet of the hosts of
Mcdowell, Pope, Burnside. Meade.
Kearney and Porter, Lee. Jackson,
Beauregard. Longstreet. Stuart and
hundreds of other soldiers of renown.
When Mcdowell moved to the at
tack of Beauregard behind Bull Run
1t was from his camps at Centerville.
1t was at Centerville that he made
final effort to rally his beaten forces.
When Jackson dashed upon Pope's
rear and burned the Federal stores at
Manassas, he retired to Centerville.
1t was from Centerville that he moved
to Sudley and Groveton for the second
fight. When Pope yielded the field to
Jackson and Longstreet he retreated
to Centerville. When the troops from
the South pressed forward to Chan
tilly they swarmed through Center

BABY WASTED TO SKELETON

my little son, when about q year
and a half old, began to have sores
come out on his face. I had q physi-
clan treat him. but the sores grew
worse. Then they began to come out
on his arms, then on other parts Of
his body, and then one came on his
chest, worse than the others. Then 1
called another physician. Still he
grew worse. At the end of about q
year and a half Of suffering he grew
so bad that I had to tie his hands in
cloths at night to keep him from
scratching the sores and tearing the
flesh. He got to be a mere skeleton.
and ~ hardly able to walk.
my aunt advised me to try Cuti-
cura Soap and Cuticura Ointment. I
sent to a drug store and got a cake OF
Cuticura Soap and a box Of the Oint-
ment and followed directions. At the
end of two months the sores were all
well. He has never had any sores
Of any kind since. I can sincerely say
that only for Cuticura my child would
have died. I used only n cake Of
Cuticura Soap and about three boxes
of Ointment.

RELIC OF PIONEER DAYS.
Joseph Millett Presents the Leader
Solid Cottonwood Block With
Horseshoe in Center.

MIR. Joseph Millett, n of the Eden
township farmers came up to Canton
Monday and brought with him a relic
Of pioneer days that is worth looking
at.
During the past summer Mr.. Mil
lett had a number of big cottonwood
logs sawed into dimension lumber and
while the Baker saving outfit was at
MI. Millett's, John johnson hauled a
number Of cottonwood logs to the
mill to be cut. The engineer was
Mrs. Baker and she handles the en-
CINE like a veteran. A big log two
feet in diameter was put before the
saw which ripped of the sides and
squared it up nicely. Then Mrs.
Baker turned on a little extra steam
as the saw entered the square log I'M
til something was struck which
sounded like a saw saving iron. The
log was thrown aside as the saw teeth
were being smashed, and no more was
thought of the Johnson log for some
time. Finally Mr.. Millett decided to
ho OAAAOAkAA OAAoo AOS OtAA ia OIO hANNA
he found a big horse shoe that had
been hung up in the crotch of a little
cottonwood some thirty or t~hirty-five
years ago. That little cottonwood
grew into a big tree and in time the
wood surrounded the horse shoe and
covered it up. Mrs. Bakers saw
found it and when the saw teeth be-
gan to smash against something hard
er than cottonwood, Mr.. Baker ex-
pressed his opinion about that measly
log in different languages. Mr..
Millett was present when the saw and
the horse shoe met, but was unable
! TO tell whether Mrs. Baker had found
a big diamond or a blacksmith shop,
as the secret remained within the log
until Mr.. Mlllett got a steel pointed
wedge and exposed the secret. The
shoe is a large one, only one half be-
ing fully exposed, and Mr.. Millett
thinks iron vas mighty cheap at the
time John Keen hung that big fellow
up In the notch of a little cottonwood
and forgot it.
This remarkable relic car be see al

HALLOWEEN ROWDYISM.

Everybody likes innocent fun and
harmless pranks but there is no
license now nor never was for a lot of
overgrown boys to destroy property
and make trouble and expense for
others. The pile of stuff in front of
the Rudolph Tuesday morning indi-
cafes that Canton was absolutely
without police protection Monday
night, and robbers might have enter
ed the town and carried away any
thing they wanted in perfect safety,
and yet there were three policemen
on duty. There are boys who think
that Halloween gives them the right
to destroy property or do as they
please with anything they are able to
handle. This foolish spirit of rowdy-
ism should not be permitted, and the
people are entitled to some kind Of
protection from the foolishness Of
fools. There are many ways for young
people to enjoy Halloween without
making themselves a nuisance, but so
long as the authorities permit such
rowdyism to exist the spirit of cussed-
ness will grow until something hap
pens that will require a stern hand to
repress.
The 'innocent amusement" of a
crowd who stole beer from the cars
for 'fun" developed a spirit of law
lessness until they became tirebugs.
A match could destroy a great city, a
spirit Of rowdyism is not the spirit of
Halloween, and when three police
men could not see or hear the boys
who piled the stuff in front OF the
hotel we believe our system of police
protection needs prompt revision.
When three policemen-one regular
and two extra, couldn't see or hear a
| separator walking down 5th street in
the still hours of the night, what are
we to expect if a band OF bank robbers
strike the town some night when only
one lone policeman is on duty. This
kind of recklessness means a sad end
ing if continued, and the spirit that
will destroy property "for fun" will
develop a spirit that will destroy any
thing for fun.
The editor of the LEADER loves tx
see boys or young men enjoy whole
some amusement but has no use fol
rowdyism that may lead to seriou:
consequences.

WOODS
The Democratic Candidate Making a Campaign for Certain
Interests Rather Than for Governor.
-
TURN HIM DOWN HARD.

. One Chauncey l.. Wood democratic
nominee for governor, has, for the
past six or eight weeks. been moving
about the state, chanting Il sony in
which there is neither ryhme or rea-
SOn. 1t is slowly dawning on the
people that, it is not with any hope of
election, but a cunning attempt to
serve a client and accomplish an Ill
teri IT purpose.
There are several laws and amend
merits To thc constitution submitted to
a vote by the people at the coming
election. In reference to n of them,
"A large and we'll financed 'intrest'
have much at stake and intensely de-
sire a negative vote, ANY means 10
secure sufficient Nos" to defeat the
law is grist to their mill. Whether
you are for or against "local op-
ton is not a question argued here.
Let the people decide that question
on it's merits.
What should be made clear is that
the purpose Of Mr.. Wood Is to culti-
vate a disposition to vote "No' on
all the propositions and the purpose
Of his client will be conserved, and
should there be any fee for his service
es he will be entitled thereto. 1t
matters little to Mr.. Wood Or to the
liquor "interests," whether any other
propositions should receive a eyes"
or not. If the mo" habit can be cul-
tivated sufficiently to accomp lish a
purpose they would willingly sacrifice
all the other propositions, howe yer
worthy. In our form of government
more especially so with our referen-
dun method, the people at the POLLS
are sovereign. This entails a high re-
sponsibility and the voter should not
be influenced by a general "mood'
but should inform himself and by re-
gistering his individual conclusion on
the wisdom Of each proposition by it.
self. To this high privilege have we
come and let no d~emagogue rob you
OF your right or belittle your RESPONSE
bility.
While Wood is educating toward
a general negative vote he does not
discuss the issue he most aids, fol
then he would "let the cat out" and
weaken his force. He discusses three
certain propositions. First the ques
tiOn of

He insults the Intelligence Of every
member Of the legislature by saying
"The legislature Of this state are moi
responsible for the laws that are en-
acted" He then proceeds to belittle
every member from the AZ counties
that have no state institution by put
ting them all in the same category as
''tools" of the members from the Il
counties which have institutions. lie
then insults the members from the Ii
counties by charging them with uni
versal "littlenesS," so intense as tC
rob them of all individuality and hon
or and make them mere tools Of the
state institutions in their respective
counties. They, according to this
Moses, have no sense of obligation to
the public. They have nothing, think
nothing, study nothing, but how tt
