Pronounce B-e-l-i n-g-t-o-n with a long
sound OF the letter '.e'' -itwas formerly
spelled B-e-a-l-i-n-g- it was named in
honor of John Bealing who obtained the

cary settlers of this section. The original
spot where he lived is in ward No. 4on
the property now owned by Guy Ward
on Pike Street.
The old fort built by the early settlers
outsof logs was erected as a protection
against the indians. Space will not permit
the description of the lives and WAYS Of
Of these pioneers, but theirs are in a
measure part OF Belington. They helped
to fell the oak; to grub the sapling; to
clear the land; to ditch the swamps; to
cut the filth; to till the soil; to fence the
farms; to beautify their surroundings: to
educate their children, and were
obedient to Him who knoweth all They
left their immortal Influences for our
benefit. We can only show our appre.
citation and respect by our forward
march, and by transmitting this impulse
to our children. Their disadvantages have
made our great opportunities, which
meet us on every hand if we will but
take and use them Instead of the condle
we hove gas or electric lights at the tip OF
our fingers and the turn of a button:
instead OF wood, We have gas, coal and
wood; instead of ox-carts we have all the
propelling devices necessary for mans
comfort; instead OF message runners. we
need only to touch a key and the message
is received, or take down a telephone
receiver and you talk to your friend miles
away; instead of log huts, we have
convenient and comfortable homes;
log caboini we have S churches. and
one good public school building; instead
Of cow-paths and Indian trails, we have
railroads and public roads.
All these things count for better
conditions but let's not stop here-the
future is oar field. Our growth well be
only in proportion as we put energy, vim
and vitality into it.

General Garnett Is preparing an opin-

main bone of contention is can wom-

they vote In the primary to make the
nominee?" 1t will not come as sur
prise If Judge Garrett decides that it
is UP to the election officers to make

Washington, July %. IA fist fight on

The near eombatants were Represen-

In which Mr.. Austin was interested
and counter-objection made by Mr.

posed the erection of dams over Ten.
nessee rivers. Mr. Austin arose to a
question of personal privilege. He
stated that If the gentleman from
Illinois Is really gentleman he
ought to be willing to give fair consid-
GRAFTON to bills presented to the house.
Mr. Rainey replied that he had given
some attention to the affairs of the
water power trust and that he had
reached the conclusion that the bills
presented by Mr.. Austin would benefit
the combine to the extent of about
s25, 600 a year. Mr. Austin leaped

Of Chairman Stanley that the commit

change in the Sherman antitrust act
in regard to proving the unreasonable
ness of the restraint exercised by cor
porations accused Of violating the law.
Now the burden Of the proof rests
upon the government. Representative
Stanley proposes that this burden
shall be shifted so as to make &C
cused corporations prove the reason
ableness of the restraint exercised,
and he insists upon the adoption o.
the proposed amendment as a part Of
the report now under consideration.
Representative Littleton of New York
takes issue with Stanley and viii sub
NIT statement Of his views at the
committee meeting today
Stanley insists that the uncertainty
growing out Of the supreme court s

Oil cases arises from the indefinite
ness Of the law as to the reasonable
ness Of a restraint of trade. On prac-
ideally all other features Of the report
the Democratic members of the com
