There seems 10 be anything but

has been much friction among the
committee. and nothing has been
done toward launching the campaign.
Governor Wilson was worried and
yexed over the situation and went 10
New York q few days ago TO try TO
get his committee together and 10
persuade the INTO get down TO work.
A press dispatch from Sea Grit.
New Jersey. publishe din ~ lays
Durham Herlad, says:
There has been persistent rumors
of discord among the members OF the
campaign committee. The Governors
determination TO go TO New York is
made at the conclusion of two weeks
of inaction on the part OF the COM
mittee which had been expected TO
get down TO earnest business within a
day or two after 1t was organized on
July 10th.
1T is believed that the Governor is
angry at the committees failure to
agree on a treasurer and a finance
committee, the result of which has
been a two weeks delay in getting
the collection of a campaign fund
under way. Indeed the only connec-
tons that has been made thus far
have been in the form of voluntary
contributions which have reached
here through the mails. The fund
at present amounts to only $4,000,
though several hundreds of thou
sands will be needed.
Though it has been definitely an
nounced on two or three occasions
that VIM. T. McAdoo and Senator
! Gore, of Oklahoma, had been favored
! for the position of vice-chairman OF
the campaign committee, the official
selection have not been made.

Mr.. Morgenthau went to the Adiron

Mr. Spence Replies to DIR. Seater.

Editor Caucasan:-I am glad my
little article in defense of the Repub-

should be surprised that l, or any
other Republican, should support the
regular Republican nominee for
President.
1t is very easy to say Mr.. Taft s
nomination was secured through
taud, but that does not prove it. l
nave seen no Republican paper since
the convention except such as are
supporting Roosevelt. In not sim

high tribute to him, as being a man

nun for everybody knew he was the
staam roller candidate, and without
which he would have stood a poor
sboy Of being the nominee for the
legislature.
Nr. " d. Siler then placed Mr.. ]
George Hannah in nomination in his
usual happy manner, and drew the
only read applause when he stated
that Mr. Hannah was not a candidate
Of an clique or machine.
Mr. F. VI. Farrell was then put in
nomination by II. l.. Coble, who said
his candidate was a man of good
sound. common sense, and from the
fact that he was not allied with cor
p0rate influences, would make the
county q most excellent representa-

man the steam roller struck the hard

in the convention, Bynum & Hayes
promised him in their office here thai
they would give him their united
support, and then az a climax to the
situation, after defeating Farrell
they had the audacity to offer a reso
luton offering him the position O

However, this was nothing more no.
less than a scheme to hold Mr. Far

M. Farrell, as a man, but for nj
Democracy as well. This was moth

man who has done more work 70
the Democratic party in Chatham

This convention was one of tn
worst boss ridden of any that ,'ha
ever been held in this county, an
had it not been for the fact that tn
county is so close, there would hav
been other developments that woul
nave been interesting indeed.
Another thing very noticeable
the two factions in the Democrat
party in Chatham, one headed
Hayes, Bynum & Company, and tn
other by the Londons, which has bee
brewing for some time. But as t

FALL
ClOahS Look Like Indoor
Gowns

Some of The ultra-fashionable fall
cloaks look more like gowns to
be worn indoors than outdoor wraps
They are picturesque in outline and
have much elaboration in the way OF
trimming
One of the most striking models
noticed is combination OF blac:; and
white striped and plain black velvet
The body of the wrap is made of the
striped material. with a vide band
OF the plain velvet on the skirt.
There is also huge collar and a
girdle of the plain velvet. At the
waist line in front the coat is fast.
ened with an immense silver buckle
of quaint style and half down to the
hem of the cloak, that reaches quite
to the bottom of the wearers skirt, is
another of these same ,old.fashioned
buckles. ni,t
They look as If they might be du.
plicates OF ones worn in the colonial
days. The wrap is suggestion of
the chevalier and the Puritan in
charming combination
Another novelty is an oriental ev.
ening wrap. This stunning affair is
made of black cloth, elaborated with
gold and silver and many colored EN-.
broidery In dragon design, combined
with rich crimson corded silk. One
side of the wrap is plain and the 9th
er is draped with the ornate material
There is sort of surplice effect in
the front to the waist line. This is
accomplished by means of a vest OF
bright red silk, with broad bands OF
velvet of dull dark red hue, outlining
the front on either side. This over
laps a dainty kerchief of soft white
silk null and the fastening is unique
indeed, consisting of seml-precious
stones, initiating rubies mounted in
beaten gold.

TROUBLE
At DanviIIe Over A Defulct
Newspaper
(Danville Leader)


Hon. L. B. Houck, assignee Of the
Danville Herald, was here from Mt.
Vernon Wednesday afternoon and
took the appraisement of the property.
The appraisers were J. F. Blubaugh.
c. v. Burris and M. T. Gaines and they
assessed the value of the plant at
$500. This is exclusive of an asset
of bill of more than 800 for adver-
tising the recent constitutional amend
ments. Mr.. Houck stated that the lia>
bilities were also about $400.
What the outcome of the case will
be is little hard to figure out at tho
present time. Just before proceed
ing with the appraisement Mr.. Houck
was served with a notice, demanding
that he turn the prperty over to the
men who went security on a note for
$500, given by Mr.. LaPorte. The
claim is made that Mr. Workman.
John E. Hall, r. G. Baker and C. +.
Banbury hold a chattle mortgage ON
the property and that LaPorte had
no right to make an assignment OF
the property. Whether or not Mr..
Houck will turn the plant over to them
without any further ceremony or
whether his bondsmen will begin an
action in replevin, remains TO be
seen.

PENSIONERS
viii Get Checks Direct From
Washington
No More Swearing To Get
Vouchers 10 The Future

Uncle Sans pensioners in Mt. Yer.
non and vicinity yesterday received
notices from the Pension Department
at Washington advising them that
after the first of the year, and in ac-
cordance with the new pension law
passed by the recent Congress, there
would no longer be the necessity to
have their vouchers executed by No
taries Public or by Federal or State
Court attaches. They are advised
that vouchers will be entirely done
away with and that when the new law
goes into effect their checks will be
sent to them direct from the depart.
ment at Washington.
The news contained in the no
tices was more than welcome to the
pensioners, who have been greatly in.
convenienced as the result of the "red
tape" which has heretofore surround.
ed the execution of vouchers. The ne
cessity of appearing in person before
a Notary Public or Court attache
has been the occasion of great hard
ship to many, If not all, pensioners.
Many of them are in feeble health and
probably nine out of ten never leave
their homes except when they are
compelled to have their vouchers ex.
ecuted.

"The amount of money paid by the
state for the institution was an out
rage" said President Thurman. "They
have COW barn there that cost s12..
900, and We are building barn at the
state farm at Orient in the loft Of
which the Mt. Vernon barn could be
put. and 1t will not cost us half as
much.
There are eight shacks that cost
$4,000 each. and they are not worth
it. They ought never to have been
accepted at that figure by the state.

SMALLPOX IN FALSE HAIR
Boston Transcript

Boston Transcript
Warning has been sent out to the
women of Colorado by the State Board
of Health that they incur danger Of in.
fection from smallpox when they pur-
chase and use the various forms Of
false hair that have been popular in
recent years.
The board has been engaged for
some time on an investigation Of the
reasons for the large number of small
pox cases in the state. There were
only 433 in 1908, but In 1910 they had
jumped to 1896 and In 1911 to 1894.
This increase was in the face Of elab-
crate measures to guard the state from
infection, and strict quarantine when
ever a case was discovered A sur
prising thing was that a large proper
ton of the cases were found among
well-to-do persons instead of among
those whose surroundings might be
assumed to subject them to danger.
In the course of It's activities the
board had its attention directed to the
traffic in false hair and looked up the
matter 1t learned that large proper
ton of this commodity comes from the
Chinese, and is gathered from such
classes as are exposed constantly to
smallpox and other diseases. Some
germs have been found in hair that
has been purchased and subjected to
microscopical examination. and it is
said that many of the recent cases of
the disease might have come from
such source.

The case of B. b. Ferenbaugh
against Jacob Parsons, which was set
for trial Monday morning, was not
pulled on" The plaintiff telephoned
In and requested the court to dismiss
It Mt his costs. This is the controversy
that grew out of Ferenbaugh's claim
that Parsons. acting as Judge Of the

cinct last Tuesday, closed the polls
five minutes before time.
