Mr.. William II. Jackson. of Salisbury.
have owned the well known Furnace"
Property, near Snow Hill-the scenes
of George Alfred Townsend's story of
the "Entailed Hat" The owners re-
Gently decided to sell it, and as Mr..
William II. Jackson was too feeble to
attend conference of the owners in
Baltimore. about two weeks ago, Gov
ernor Smith went to Salisbury to make
arrangements with Mr.. jackson for the
sale of the property, which will take
place at the Court House door in Snow
Hill, on Tuesday, November 18th. Both
Senator Smith and MIR. Jackson have
been very much amused at the efforts
of the Bull Moose speakers to link them
together politically because of this visit
to Salisbury and conference. Mr.. Jack
son is heart and soul for Taft, and Sem
ator Smith is working night and day for
Wilson; so the story of a political coalli-
ton between these men is an absolute
falsehood.
