THREE BOXES HAD NOT RE-

AT NOON.
VERY LITTLE CHANGE IS MADE
Long Gains Five Votes at Mt. Pleas.
ant Through an Error In the Addl-
tion--vote for President Far Short
of the Total.

The official canvass of the returns
of the election last Tuesday will
show little difference in the figures
heretofore reported in The Herald.
An official canvass is being made to-
day by the commissioners of cleo
ton and so far no material changes
have been made. At Mt. Pleasant an
error had beer made in the ad lition
of the vote for William H. Long for
representative. His vote was unoffi-
cially reported at 229 when it should
have been 234. A vote or two differ
ence was made at a number of other
points, but not sufficient to effect the
result.
When the commissioners met at 10
O'Clock this morning ]. H. Courtney
was not present, but quorum being
in attendance Chairman Ramon and
Mr.. Brooks proceeded with the work.
However, Chairman Thos. H. Pee
bles, of the Paterson county commit

in session and was requested to send
some one to represent that faction,
but no one appeared. A short time
after the work commenced Mr.. Court
ney appeared and sat with the mem.
bers assisting in the canvass.
Three of the boxes containing the
returns of the election had not alriv-
ed at noon and the board then ad
journed until 2 o'clock. The boxes
that were missing are Hampshire in
the tenth district, Fly's store in the
first district and Spring Hill in the
third district An effort was made to

could be completed today.

CAN STILL NAME
POSTMASTERS
SEVERAL APPOINTMENTS, IN
GLIDING MEMPHIS, PROB.
ABLY MADE SOON.

NASHVILLE. Nov. 11-President
Taft, although he will go out Of ONCE
on March 4. will have the opportunity
to name postofiices for dozen Ten
nessee postoffices, including Mem
phis, which will probably be done
within the near future. The Offices
are those where the terms have e1-
pired within the present year. but
where no successors were appointed
at the expiration of the term. The
men to be appointed vii serve Tor
four year terms, which will expire -
varying times, between the spring Of
1916 and March 1917.
The appointments we're not made
at the time the terms expired. but
were held up until after the recent
elections. With that out of the way
there is nothing to delay the appoint
ments further, and announcement Of
action is expected soon. Regular
Taft republicans will in all probabili-
ty be named at each place.
There are two names prominently
mentioned for the Memphis postof-
fee, by far the most important to be
supplied. L. w. Dutro, the present
postmaster is an applicant for rc-ap-
pointment, and H. B. True, promt
nent Shelby county republican, is al
SO an applicant. While no announce
ment has been made, 1t is the general
belief that the appointment, which
carries with it the office until May,
1916, will go to the latter.

The regular Novembe. term OF the

o'clock, and the work of organizing
the court into working shape was
rapidly completed. The grand Jury

Trial jury No. 2 was not completed
at the morning session.
The high character of the members
of the grand jury gives assurance
that there will be nothing but
Straightforward work done by that
body, and while there will be no un.
necessary delays in the investiga-
tions, thtre will also be no unneces-
sary haste. and all matters will be
properly considered.
The charge delivered by Judge
Turner was direct and to the point,
and among the many things to which
attention was called was the selling
or giving away of cigarette papers,
the pure food laws, drugs and drug
gists, and the solvency of the bonds
of the county officers. The judge
stated that il further instructions
were wanted that the court would be
glad to give them.
In speaking of the conditions in
this circuit this morning Attorney
General Frierson was heard to state
that the work was getting entirely
too heavy to handle with one court.
At Pulaski the regular term was ter
minated before the docket was clear

be cleared in double the time allow

That was some team that came up
from Green Saturday under the
coaching leadership of Theo Pinson.
1t is decidedly the best balanced team
that has showed up in Columbia this
season. The average weight of the
boys from Athens is 1856 pounds, with
the tackle to tackle weight being 16S
pounds, and not man on the team
but that ran like deer, and they
romped on the c. NJ A. boys almost
at pleasure. The scoring began at
six minutes after play was commenc.
ed, and continued continuously until
the whistle blew for the close of the
last quarter when it was almost toe
dark to see the ball. Be it said, how
ever, to the credit of the cadets, that
although they knew they were UP
against a losing game, that the visit
ors, were heavier, more experienced
and more thoroughly trained in the

DEBATE Will Be
A BIG FEATURE

jamestown. N. D., Aug. 29.-An in
~teresting feature of the meeting of the
North Dakota Bar association to be
held in jamestown Sept. 2 and 8, will
be a debate on the judicial recall,
wherein the recall will be supported
by Hon. John Carmody and opposed by
Hon. N. C. Young Of Fargo.
Both OF the debaters are ex-mem-
bers of the state supreme court, and
two of the best known lawyers in the
state, and the debate will be watched
view of the fact that the people of the
state will vote on the recall PROPOSE
ton at the next election.
1t has been learned that the econ
mendation of the committee on pro-
posed legislation, that the county
courts of the state be abolished has
aroused g. storm of opposition among
many of the county judges of the
state, and it is anticipated that the
debate in connection with this recon-
mendation viii be a sharp one. Several
of the judges of county courts have
indicated that they will be present to
oppose the proposition.
Court ~stenographers all over the
state have also been aroused over the
proposed legislation, effecting their Of
fetal duties. The committee on ap-
pellate procedure recommends that in
stead of preparing an abstract of evil
dence in the appeal Of cases to the
supreme court that the entire tran
script Of testimony be sent UP and that
the stenographer In transcrfbing this
testimony from his notes prepare ex-
ira carbon copies to be furnished to
the supreme court in line of a printed
abstract. The proposed amendment
of appellate procedure in this ~particu-
lar resembles that in operation in the
state Of Missouri, and has been emf
nently satisfactory in that state, but
1t is understood that many court stem
ographers and also q numbers of
lawyers will resist the innovation, and
be present at the meeting to present
their views.
1t has been definitely announced by
President Green that President Greg
DRY of the American Bar association
will deliver the principal address on
the evening of Sept. 3. His subject
will be, Chief Justice fancy.
Over 100 ~aceptances in response to
invitations to be present at the Sep
tember meeting have been received
from members of the bar. association
of the state; by Judge Ellsworth, chair
ma of the. committee on publicity,
and it is believed that the meeting will
he one of the mosS largely attended
and important meetings Of the associ-
alton ever held.

CUSTER SCOUTS
INTERVIEWED
DR.. sEEpE AND PROFESSOR LIB.
BY MADE INTERESTING TRIP
ALONG LITTLE MIS-

Bismarck. NJ. d.. Aug. 29.-Rev. DIR.
"A. MEG. Beede arrived in the city last
evening from a trip up the little Mis-
souri, river after spending WI weeks
among the following Indian tribes. viz:
Mandan Gorovans and ATikaree. DR..
Beede has been gathering Indian leg
ends and among the many interesting
ones, he obtained the one in connec-
ton with the Standing Rock at Fort
Yates, for which the Standing Rock
Indian reservation was named. This
holy rock is not a Sioux rock as many
people were told. but is an Arikaree
stone, and was formerly on the east
side of the river and was carried ove
on the west side, as the Arikarees
believe it vas carried over by the
Sioux indian women Rev. Mr.. Beede
has the original Arikaree legend in
regard to it's origin, which is an ex-
tremely interesting legend.
DIR. o. G.. Libby OF the University
of North Dakota has also been inter-
viewing the surviving Custer scouts,
which are o nine in number and
has obtained information of ines
Unable value in regard to the Custer
expedition and the final tragedy. DR..
Beede was with him in this connec-
ton also, as he knows the Sioux's
side of the story. Those events in
connection with the campaign trag-
edy. of which both the Sioux and
Arikarees were eye witnesses substan-
tally agree in regard to the facts.
Few people realize how incompletely
this expedition has formerly been
written up.
DR.. Beede says that the expedition
from Fort Lincoln to Little Big Horn
with all of the amusing incidents by
the way would be one of the most
readable books in existence.
