Just now there are about three hun

ABERDEEN, Scotland, Nov. 30.-
Militant suffragettes today brought
about two scenes of extreme violence
in which woman's shoes and a horse
whip were used as weapons.
The first outbreak occurred when
three women, Joyce Locke, Fanny
Parker and Mary Pollock, who had
been caught last evening in possession
of explosives in the music hall where
Chancellor Lloyd George was to speak,
were brought before the magistrates.
After hearing the evidence the mag
istrate remanded them for further in
quiry. AS he informed them Of this
Joyce Locke removed her shoes and
hurled one Of them at magistrates S
head and then threw the other at the
head of the clerk of the court She
was promptly committed for contempt
of court.
The second outrage committed by
one of the members of party of
suffragettes who were waiting at the
railroad station for the departure of
Chancellor Lloyd George. A woman
mistook Rev. Forbes Jackson for the
chancellor in disguise and lashed him
across the face with a heavy horse
whipe. She was at once arrested.
LONDON, Nov. 30.-Suffragettes
last night continued their mail de-

COURTESY IN JAPAN.
Amazing PeIitensss Of Train Hands In
Collectinn Tickets,

Courtesy is a characteristic of the
japanese. especially among officials,
and A. NJ. Thompson, in describing
his travels through the land of the
chrysanthemum, says that even the
word "please" is in Japan elaborat-
ed into lingual ar. Here is an
example:
'sThc guard in the train going to
Tokyo, who affords US much infor-
nation by the way, is exceedingly
interested in US. He stands by my
side on the platform and laughingly
points out that the top of his head
he is of more than average size
for Japanese-barely reaches my
shoulder.
"'Mc big he says in his quaint
English, but you more much Big
Gle is, like all the japanese we
met, amazingly polite.
"When he comes round to exam
inc tickets he begins by standing at
the end of the car, takes off his cap
to the honorable assembly, bows to
the ground, rubs his knees with his
hands, draws in his breath audibly
and delivers himself of an an
nouncement in japanese which l
imaginatively translate as follows:
Your most honorable cxcellen-
cies and most augustly deigning to
be pleased ones, l hope you will par
don this creature of mud for hav-
ing been born into this world to
ask you, most gracious and superior
ones, to show your augustly blessed
tickets, after which l beg you will
honorably deign to grind and crush
me, who am but as snail of the
soil, beneath your kindly Sandals
"Thc passengers, ccasing for u
moment from their rice and chop
sticks, bow profoundly in return,
rub their knees with their hands,
suck in their breath with the pc
culiar whistling sound which is the
special expression of japanese
greeting, tumble among their loose
layers of clothes and ultimately
produce their honorable tickets.
After this there is more bowling on
both sides and the guard, still bow
ing, vanishcs. London Family

The plum 10 the most valuable fruit

many types. some Of them OF excel

parts Of the state The demand for
these now far exceeds the supply,
and the general cultivation OF the

Many Of the thickets contain trees

these may be transplanted to the

Ii viii be remembered that, at the
April meeting of the board Of county
commissioners there was much dis
cussion Of the question as to whether
the transaction by which the county
was bilked out Of considerable sum
of money by the sale of tax-deed
lands to the Hackney-Boynton Com
pany should stand. or whether the
county would accept the offer of
George ". Lynn to pay in cash the
full legal amount Of tax, penalty
and interest on part Of the lands
so disposed Of. At that meeting MIR.
Lynn appeared and stated his case.
Former Auditor Herolz, as usual,
was there in the interest of the land
company. the same as he was when
the county was giving him a good
salary as County Auditor. The
states attorney. who allowed the
Hackney Boynton Company's law
yers to answer for the county in
Lynn's lawsuit, was also there. and
wasn't sure Of anything. So. it was
not strange that the county commits
sioners were not willing to act with
out further information on the SUBJ
ject. Finally it was resolved to get
into communication with the at
torney general and ascertain what he
thought about it. This was done.
Not long ago the "opinion" came.
But, 10. and behold! it was found
not to have the signature of the inn
mortal Andy; and. Of course. it
wasn't worth the paper on which it
was written. However, it would
have been of no more value had the
name of the attorney general been
signed to it, for it gave absolutely
nothing definite in the way of re-
Spouse to the query of the commits
sioners. Therefore, the commits
sioners are just where they were at
the April meeting in the matter of
information as to what course they
should pursue. How they are to as.
certain what would be the better
course, unless the states attorney
comes out and tells them. no one is
able to say. Making bold to butt in
as one of those who cannot under
stand why the Hackney Boynton
Company should be given privileges
not extended to others-why they
were sold tax lands at less than a
lawful price when another bidder
offered to pay the full legal price
the editor Of the Record would re-
spectfully suggest to the states at
torney that he forget all about
Rocks. all about Herolz. all about
Armstrong, all about politics. know
no political friends and no political
enemies in the matter, and come out
flat footed and tell the county COM
missioners just what. in his opinion
and to give which he is paid for
by the county they ought to do.
