Hargrove is one of the oldest resident
of Conconully, where he has been IN
terested in mining properties over 20
wears. He was among the first to be
attracted to OkanOgan county at the
time mineral was discovered at the
old Ruby camp. He moved from Con-
conully to Loomis, where he resided
long time, returning to ConcOnully
several years ago. He came to this
upper country from Spokane. His con-
fidence in the mining possibilities OF
northern Okanogan county has never
faltered in all the years that he has
devoted to prospecting and mining,
and although he has never realized
any large sums from his holdings he
has occasionally made sale that has
kept up his hopes. He has interests
that may some time turn out to be
valuable mines. His old friends and
acquaintances trust that he will find
relief through the means OF an oper-
alton, and live to enjoy some OF the
fruits of years of labor and loyalty to

The Tennessee Troubadours gave
two performances in Oroville, Satur-
day and Sunday evenings, in the Lyric
theater. There was large attend
ance the first night, and a fair turn
out the second evening. The troupe
is made up of mokes, male and female,
and the performances We're ABOVE
those given by the average travelling
companies. Those who attended felt
we'll repaid, and pronounce the show
exceptionally good. There We're ten
people in the company, which is too
large a troupe to play the smaller
towns at much profit, no matter how
excellent the entertainment provided
may be, for the jumps are long and
the expenses are very heavy.

A member of the great family of
Smith, with Charles as handle, fell
a victim to his weakness Saturday.
Mr.. Smith blew the froth off too many
schooners during his meanderings
about town, with the result that he
attracted the attention of Marshal Nc
Cannon. 1t was quite Tartar that
the marshal tackled, as Mr.. Smith put
up vigorous protest against the cur
tailment of his liberty. He was final
ly subdued and incarcerated, but wore
the darbies while in confinement, as
he was trifle too handy with his fins.
Smith was touched for a flyer and
costs, and at the earnest invitation of
the marshal departed to exercise his
talent for booze consumption in some
other locality.

THE POLITICAL TEST
ING OF THE SOUTH
Has Chance of Becoming Dominant
Section of Country

For the first time in fifty years
the South now has a chance OF be-
coming the dominant section in the
government OF the American peo-
pie. During all this time we have
held to high ideals Of craftsmanship.
Our representatives in Congress
have denounced the pension graft
by which the North has unjustly
enriched itself. They have con-
demned the tariff graft by which the
manufacturing East has exploited
the agricultural South and West
They have reminded tie country OF
the Exiled Dynasty OF High Ideals
while others have engaged in a mad
scrau. Die for appropriations and
sectional advantages. And at last
the Nation, wearying OF the plund-
erers and turning hopefully 10 our
section for purer an 4 .igher leader
ship, has given US the chance of our
generation. The question now is,
How shall we use it2-and it is
question big with meaning not only
for out section but for the whole Ma
ton and It's future.
Let the South now in it's hour OF
testing only stand true, overcome
by no spirit Of greed, tempted by no
desire to get its share Of plumber,
recreant to no high principal it's old
traditions have emphasized, and it
will go from strength to strength
and its record will shine as the sun.
But on the other hand, let the
South now fall before the tempta-
tions OF power and the promptings
of greed, let it now ask for its share
of the protective tariff graft instead
Of trying only to end the evil, let il
now ask for its share OF the national
pension spoils instead of trying only
to purge the fraud, and as surely as
the sun shines, Meme, Tekel" will
be written in doom above our blight
ed hopes, and the Nation. disap-
pointed and disillusionized, will 60
back for leadership to the fraud and
arrant commercialism OF the North
and East.
This is the hour Of testing for the
South. God grant she may not fai'

DISSATISFACTION ON
ACCOUNT OF PRIMARY
Opposition to the Plan In Various
Sections of State

Here and there in the State.
strong sentiment prevails against
the primary plan of making nom-
nations TO Office, and in every
county and city there are many in
dividusls who oppose tue plan.
Some of these have always opposed
it while others opposed who were
at one time advocates OF the primary.
The latter class are disappointed
with the primary because Of the ex
pense incident to running in the
primary, or because OF the frauds
in it, or the ease with which the
machine seems to be able to use it
for its purpose.
Some OF the sincere friends of the
primary who admit all these short
comings prefer it nevertheless TO
the old plan and seems TO think ne
plan can be devised that will work
out honest results OF itself, all plans
depending on those who operate
them; and they are slow to follow
suggestions for improving the plan.
= Now, while it is true that no plan
will automatically work out honest
results, some plans do lend them
selves more readily TO fraud than
others; and it is. wise to study every
plan TO see whether safeguards can
not be thrown around it that will
minimize the opportunity for fraud.
Unless we are ready to admit
that Virginians are not as honest
as the people in some other States
we are forced to the conclusion that
the difference in the results of pri-
maries in different States is due to
to difference in the primary plans.
There are States in which primaries
are operate l., in which there are
NO such open frauds practiced as iu
Virginia primaries, and it must be
because they have better plan
Why can we not study those plans
and improve on our plan?

The Memory of Mosby

DR.. DennY's Resignation and Gen.
Lees Inauguration

1t has been observed that by q
strange coincidence President Geo.
Fl. Denny OF Washington and Lee
University, rendered his resigna-
ton 10 the Board of Trustees on the
anniversary of the date that General
Robert f. Lee assumed the presi-
dency of the same institution just
torty-six years before. on October
2nd. This date in the future will
have dual Significance in the cal
endar OF this institution.
In October, 1865, there could have
been nothing alluring in the presi-
dency of Washington College for
General Lee. A modest house and
$4,000 year were the only emolu-
ments for this man, who had spent
a lifetime as a soldier and had had
no experience as an educator, unless
it had been as perintendent of the
Uuited States Military Academy at
West Point.
DR.. George n. Denny, president
of Washington and ee University,
who has accepted the presidency of
the University of Alabama, will
draw salary of 81, 500 per year in
his new position, the duties of which
be will assume Jan. l, 1912.
DR.. Denny is native of Hanover
county. He was educated at Hamp.
den-Sidney College and the Unive--
sity of Virginia and taught at Hamp-
den Sidney College and Pantops
