TomIinson Says
 Bosses Must Go
Men in Ninth District Have Been
 Threatened With Loss of Positions Unless They Line up With Machine

Frederick W. Tomlinson, a well known Republican of the Ninth dis trict, says Republicans will not wear the collar of John T. King. His communication is as follows:
 To the Editor of the Farmer:
 will you allow me through you to set forth clearly a few facts in re- gard to the delegate ticket which is headed by myself in the Ninth dis trict. There has been an active at- tempt to send out false impressions regarding it. Through you I may be able to correct these.
 This delegate ticket has been de- scribed as a Fitzroy ticket, and as a ticket that has swung from Wilson to Arnold
 Let me make plain, straight asser- ton. This ticket is pledged to no man or men, it wears the collar of no man Or boss; not even that of John 4. King. This ticket was nominated at a gathering of some 30 or more men who are interested in the Repub- lican party's welfare and have some thing at stake in the Ninth district. MT. Fitzroy is supporting the ticket and we welcome his support. But he is only one of many He is no boss, he aspires to be no boss. But appar- aently there are some who do aspire to bossism who are worried by this ticket.
 We are not making fight for con- trol of the district. We are instead making a fight to secure election to the coming town convention. We are representatives of a strong sentiment in the Ninth district. That sentiment Is against the domination of the party by one man, against the handing out of nominations to whoever may chance to enjoy the favor of the bosses. against the methods which have been used during this very campaign in the Ninth district where men are under stood to have been led to believe that their positions as public servants, and of course their salaries, were at stake unless they lined up with the ma chine
 , We protest against present condi- tfons in party management. We pro test against any course which gives rise to the belief that any one man carries the Republican party's nomi- nations around in his pocket And we invite every Republican in the Ninth district who believes with us to aid us by the casting of ballot for our ticket at tonight's primaries

''The SmuggIer0 Al
 Polls This Week
Julie Herne & Co. With Curzon and Wilson Bros. Please
 Audience

.anhe Smuggler' is the title of the sketch presented by Julie Herne & Co. at Polls this week. Miss Herne is a daughter of James A. Hefne, who is remem bered as the author of "Shore Acres" and other popular plays. Miss Herne and her sister have been successful on the stage and do not need to depend upon their fathers reputation. In the present vehicle Miss Herne shows herself a capable actress by her portrayal of the role of the young wife who IS detected in the act of smuggling goods into this country. Her hus- band is a. candidate for Congress and his wife's actions would hurt his chances of election. Many humorohs complications ensue when the hus- band and his brother-in-law disguise themselves as custom officers and search the Wife's trunks. Charles Darrah and Harry Beaumont were good in the part of the husband and brother-in -in-law, respectively.
 >Vaudeville patrons have been so to seeing beefy danes whirling about suspended from rings and other acrobat1c apparatus that they had begun to think that only fat ladies were in the business. The Curzon Sisters give the lie to this argument. They are slender and pretty. The difficult feat of hanging by the teeth and swinging from a high perch is we'll understood has been mastered by these clever per- formers who were heartily applaud ed last night.
 The wilson Bros. were a riot last evening as soon as they appeared. The old jaw to jaw conversation in which the English language is badly mutiliated plays a prominent part In this act. A number of good parodies are introduced. The biggest hit was made with the translation of popular songs into German. Roars of laugh ter and applause greeted the Teutonfc version of the well known tunes.
 Vacation Time" is a laugh pro- ducing skit in which Roland Carter & Co. appear. Vacation was appar- ently spent in jail by the actors who are happy enough to sing some good songs.
 Some folks enthuse over ventrilo- quists and there must have been quite few of the enthusiasts pres ent last night for Mir. and Mrs. Hugh Emmett received a fine reception. Emmett is unusual good in his line and the audience liked his work very much.
 Mccormack and Irving have a pleasant little skit called "F,lirtology." Miss Irving gained honors when she sang s1That Mysterious Rag" and a vocal duet was also a. hit.
 The Bridgeport boy, Bert Melrose, was given a handsome bouquet at the close of his act. His clown aero batici work, particularly his fall from a chair, placed on top of foru tables, aroused considerable enthusiasm.

Boys Corn Clubs.

We do not know who first started
the idea of the boys forming corn
clubs but it has resulted in one OF
the best means of agricultural edu-
cation among the farmer boys i'm
aginable. 1t teaches them to study
soil fertility, testing of seed, in
tensive farming and obtaining great
results. The boys are accomplishing
more than their fathers ever dream
ed Of ON their worn-out land. These
boys form a new regime, new and
intelligent band of farmers who viii
never be satisfied to cultivate fif-
,ty acres of land when twenty-five
acres will grow more corn and at a
profit instead of loss Intensive
, farming is slowly coming to the
South and these same boys are help
ing the good cause.

acres and contains upward of 5000,

time when development is under wa.
The fire clay industry has been
important in Carter county for
many years. Carter is one OF the
few counties in the State producing
camel coal. 1t also has bituminous
coal, iron ore and limestone in inn
mense quantities. The discovery OF
asphalt makes possible the develop
ment OF an additional industry and
it is said that capitalists already
have become interested. AS the as

operations is decidedly favorable,
