reckless gunners occurred on the
same day last week when Fletcher
Pratt near Blackiston Cross Roads
and Jacob Crossley, of the same

some to think it was other than an

Time for Genesee to Get Back What

hands with the other progressive
counties which are making their
roads credit to themselves.
The farmers of this county have
been satisfied with bad roads far too
long. 1t is time they made up their
minds that the best of roads are
none too good for them. By means
of the proposed bonding plan they
can get good roads by paying eighty
cents on thousand Of valuation,
whereas at present they are paying
one dollar and are getting practic'
ally nothing in return.
For too long a time the people OF
Genesee county have been paying
for good roads for the other fel'
lows. Why not return The favor
and let the other fellows pay for
few good roads for the people OF
! Genesee county.

The Republicans are confident OF
electing their entire ticket and from
the general appearance of the situ-

of the candidates are concerneek
there is not much to q Dose between

There are no especial issues at

to be which party can give the

In regard to the good roads plan,
the talk seems to be all one way.

seems to be in favor of the good

FLINT MUNICIPAL
CAMPAIGN IS LIVELY
AND NON PARTI
SANS GOING SOME
Speeches and Debates, Personalities
and Impersonalities, Add Interest
to Contest. Mondays Results are
Somewhat in Doubt,

The municipal campaign in Flint
has now reached the boiling point.
Both sides are holding smeeting
meetings almost nightly and in all
parts Of the city.
1t is many years since so much
feeling has been exhibited in Flint
during a political contest. There is
almost as much bitterness as there
was in the elections just before the
Civil War.
The two main events of the CAM
paign during the past week were
the debate between Prof. Knnedy
of Chicago and VIM. III. Lingle of
Flint; and the lecture by David
Goldstein of Boston who is now
touring the country speaking against
Socialism.
The Lingle- debate took
place on Sunday afternoon; the
theater was packed and hundreds
were turned away. AS debate it
was a farce but as a walkover for
the Socialists ii was bowling sue
cess.
Mr.. Linglc touched on the subject
of discussion but once during his
entire time and Prof. Kennedy did
not have to exert himself any in
order to win.
The speech of David Goldstein on
Tuesday evening also drew large
crowd Mr.. Goldstein is touring the
country under the ausices of a Ger
man catholic society Of st. Louis
Edward McGurty, a Socialist or
ganizer who is in Flint for the cam
paign, had challenged Mr.. Goldstein
to a debate and, although Mr.. Gold.
stein had stated through the press
that he was desirous of debating
the committee in charge would only
grant Mr.. McGurty twenty min
utes while Goldstein was to have
an hour and half to open and
twenty minutes to close. This Offer
was rejected and Mr.. McGurty chal
lcnged him from the floor at Tho
opening of the meeting but no an.
swer was made.
AT the opening of the meeting i
was announced that Mr.. Goldsteir
would answer any and all question!
provided they we're submitted II
writing. A number were sent in
including typewriter list of fif
teen. Goldstein read and answer
ed about five of the list of fifteen
started to read the next one, read /
about half through, saw what II wa
and-stopped answering questions
right there and began to talk abou
something else. The question which
he baked on was: "What solution
have the opponents of Socialism TO
the unemployed problem?"
He did not touch at all upon tn
economic questions, which the So
cialists claim are the only ques
tions they are concerned with, bu
confined his remarks to a series o
accusations that the Socialists be
lieved i'm Stree love" and "breakin
up the home," and were opposed {,
all religion" He backed up his as
sertions by what purported to b
quotations from Socialist writers.
The "Citizens" say that Goldstein'
speech has won the day for them
; and tho Socialists say that it has no
hurt them in the least, but has help
ed if anything.
"And there y'arre, and thcr
y'arre" as Mr.. Dooley SAYS.

Office Building Nearly Completed.
Many Orders in Prospect. Prod

A visit to the plant of the Clio
Mfg. Co. shows that the company is
making good progress in its prepar-
ations for beginning the manufac-
ture Of its many styles of woven
baskets and hampers.
The machinery, with the excep-
ton of sander, is all on the floor
and w. C. Pratt of Lansing, the in
ventor of the method of basket
weaving that will be used by the
company, is busily engaged in in
stalling it.
Samples of some of the styles of
baskets have already been made and
can be seen at the factory. The
company is expecting shipment of
wire and as soon as it is received
they will start work on the rest of
the samples. 1t is expected that the
full line of samples will be COM
pleted next week and that the plant
will be ready to start work in ear
nest on the following Monday.
The product of the company will
be known under the trade name of
Little Giant" and it includes waste
baskets, clothes hampers, bread bas-
kets, laundry baskets, shoe boxes,
shirt waist boxes, express baskets,
crates and specialties.
In their new style round cornered
basket for handling bread in baker.
les and for shipping, the company
believes they have an article which
will be four time winner. They
are also preparing design for a
warehouse truck or wheeler" such
as is used in large wholesale stores
that they also think will be very
successful.
According to present plans tho
company will put man on the
road to sell their goods to schools
express companies and other large
consumers, but they expect to sci
all goods for the retail trade through
jobbing houses. They already have
had several enquiries from iobbinl
houses about the goods and the,
also have some orders on hand.
The new office building of thu
company is rapidly approaching
completion and Ralph Gillett, tn,
company's secretary. expects t
have the office installed in its new
quarters within very short time.
The system Of weaving the baskets
is very simple one and II produc
es very strong basket. The small
waste baskets, when turned upside
down will bear the weight OF
large man without sign Of strain
It is expected that there will be
large sale for these goods as soor
as they become known.
The company has taken over tho
sash and door business formeri,
! conducted by L. A. Wright & Co
and will continue to carry 1t on II
connection with their other bust
ness.
There seems to be a bright fu
Iture before this company and theiI
piant will surely be valuable ad
jdition to the industries of Clio.

Graphite, the commonest use Of
which is seen in the ''lead" pencil.
Is almost pure carbon. This min
eral is therefore only step re-
moved from coal and In fact some
of the natural graphite deposits are
found in coal beds where the intru-
sion of masses of intensely heated
liquified igneous rock has meta
morphosed the coal, thus forming
graphite. An example of this nat
ural manufacture Of graphite out
of coal is described in one Cf the
reports Of the United Ste.es geo
logical survey on the pston coal
field of New Mexico. On the other
hand, large quantities of high grade
graphite are artificially manufac-
tured direct from ordinary coal.
In making lead pencils the graph
lite is mixerd with a clay of fine
grain and the greater the proporx
tion oe the clay constituent, u
harder the pencil. Exceedingly
pencils with large leads cont
little clay.
