HAVE KNOT TIED IN STORE.

Mount Holly. n. 1.-THE novelty OF
being married in the department store
in which they bought their trousseau
and some of their household furnish
ings had been purchased was expert.
enced by William c. Small of Indiar
Mills and VI SIS Luly NJ. Yeager OF
Writings, in a store here during the
rush Of an August clearance sale. The
knot was tied by the Rev. George c
Reynolds Of LUmberton.
The couple entered the store in the
morning and made many purchases Of
clothing. both getting entire new out
fits, and the saleslady attending to the
..ide soon became suspicious but
skel ro questions, as t did not take
the whole thing long to leak out.
After the new garments had been
purchased and they had taken the
places Of the old ones something was
said about a minister and then the
1eret was out.

But the Byers milling company con.
stitutes the backbone of the oppo-
sition to the new water system.
Most of those taking part in the or
ganized fight against Thorn Hollow
are acting in behalf of the milling
company and for purely selfish rea-
sons, They are not fighting the
Thorn Hollow project so much as they
are fighting a mountain water sys-
TEN. The mill company wants no
water system under which the supply
will be secured from n point above its
mill race.
The members of this knocking bri-
sade are in improper business and
they should be given scant consider
alton. one aud all they should be
tcld to go chase themselves around
the block and that the people of
Pendleton, through their officials,
viii establish a mountain water sys-
TEN to suit themselves and without
any advice from the Byers milling
company or any of its agents.

THE FACTS OF THE CASE.

The meat in the cocoanut of the
fight against a mountain water sys-
tenn for Pendleton is the fact the
Byers milling company does not want
the city to take water from the Una
tilla river or from any spring that
flows into the river above the head
gate Of yhe Byers mill race.
It is feared by the milling company
that the installation of such a water
system would lessen the mills power
supply. 1t may be their fears are
well grounded. But if so the company
will have chance to get redress. A
damage suit may be brought and the
city forced to pay for any losses that
can be proven.
But the milling company is not
content to work along such open and
legitimate lines. The company is not
enly playing its own game but it is
trying to tell the city how to wage its
end of the fight. It is striving to di-
vide the forces that favor mountain
water in hopes nothing will be accom-
plished
1t is entirely possible there is not
enough water in the Thorn Hollow
springs to supply the needs of the city
II so the water commission and its
engineers will ascertain the fact when
the springs are developed and the wa
ter measured. There is no need for
alarm. Chairman Brown Of the wa
ter commission has expressly stated
time and again that no effort will be
made to sell the 100000 bond issue
until thorough test has been made
Of The Thorn Hollow supply. All
the present palayer about running
special train to the springs is needless
and is intended for what may be term
ed political effect.
it does not matter a tinkers dam
to the opponents Of mountain wa
ter system whether there is enough
water at Thorn Hollow or not. The
milling company would oppose the
proposition just the same. In the
past the idea has been suggested Of
going TO the north fork Of the Una
tilla river for water supply. There
i5 an abundance of pure, cold water
there. Yet when the plan was sug-
gested the very men who are now ac-
tive against Thorn Hollow were the
loudest in shouting against going to
the north fork. At that time they
said the scheme was impossible i'm
practicable, unbusinesslike, socialistic
and half dozen other things. Those
men would be fighting the North
Fork project now If it were up for
consideration.
no doubt there are some people
who honestly oppose a mountain
water system for Pendleton and do
SO from what they consider good
reasons. For such as they this criti-
cism is not intended They are en-
titled TO their views and their views
are worthy OF respect

Most assuredly the government

 Bob Stubbs, the local daredevil with the motorcycle. stated that he expects to break all his previous records during the fair. Shortly before the time of the races he will be in receipt of new spe- cial racer The machine will be equipped with double cylinder engine, having eight valves especially built for the pur- pose of establishing some new records 5tubbs says that he is going to show the nome folks" some fast riding nex, fall with this new racer and it seems that the motorcycle events are likely to

BLACK HAND
 VICTIM DIES

New Orleans, June 2S.-Joseph Davi, the Italian grocer. died at the charity hos pital today, a victim of the mysterious assault of an unknown man, who entered the Davi home early Tuesday morning and brutally beat the grocer and his young bride as they lay asleep in bed Although his skull was crushed by some blunt instrument and parts of his brain protruded. Davi lived more than 24 hours. Mrs Davi, whose wounds are less serious, probably will be able to leave the hospi- tai within two weeks.
 The police are of the opinion that the perpetrator of this latest crime in the Italian quarter is either member of the Maf1a or moral degenerate to whom at least two similar crimes are charge able. Less than year ago John Crutti, an Ialian grocer, was brutally beaten and cut with a butchers cleaver as he lay asleep in bed with his wife, and in Sep tember last MT. and Mrs Joseph Risetto, keepers of a small grocery, were simi- arly attacked with a ceaver. The vic- tins in the Crutti and Risetto cases re- covered, but refused to give the police very much information. giving the im- pression that the crimes were the work of the Black Hand society.

Brooks Only Finds Slight Overdraft in Jefferson
 County Books

Montgomery, June %.-Cspeeial. )rTw' reports in which slight criticism is in cuded have been submitted to Gov. Elm met O.Neal on Jefferson connty's treas urer, and on officials of Fayette county The report swere rendered, respectively by Assistant Examiner II. Y Brooks ant Frank Y. Evans. I
 In the report on the condition or ,tnf books of sTreasurer H. C. Miller, the ex- aminer calls attention to slight over draft in the salary accounts, to the amount of $500, but on proper warrants The sum, however, was returned 10 the treasury before the examination was completed. In so far as the books them selves are concerned, the report states that they are correctly and neatly kept' and that the affairs of the office are ln excellent condition.
 The examiner. apropos the Jefferson county report. says that the system oi carrying a "petit cash" account is not in accordance with the law, and that Il should therefore be stopped.
 Regarding the Fayette county reports Examiner Evans states that the burning of the court house a few months ago greatly handicapped him in his investiga- tions, owing to the fact that many of the records were destroyed. From available sources, however, he reported that sev- eraI clerical accounts in the books had been found, which are accounted for by oversight and not by any dishonest in- tentions.
 All errors that were found, the exami- her states in his report, were due to mis- interpretation of the law.
