neavy showers occurred in the
southwestern and west central
districts on Friday night, and
tight to copious showers occur
red in all other parts Of the
state some time during the
week. Considerable damage
vas done in Cherokee county

Fields were badly washed and
several bridges were taken out

although the nights were cool.

planting is coming up and
hows q fair to good stand
T he first cultivation has begun,
and the fields are generally
clean and in good condition.
Small grain and grass have
continued to make rapid pro-
gress except in a few localities,
especially in the southeastern
counties where the rainfall was
deficient prior to the last week
The late rains will, however, be
of great benefit in all sections.
Winter wheat and rye are head

THE SUI MOOSE PARTY.

The organization Of the Bull Moose
party in Norwich has been effected. at
traoting to its membership men who
have failed 10 get what they want in
the old parties and seek to jump into
prominence and possibly office through
a new organization. This. of course,
means that these professed followers
Of the third term candidate are no
longer members Of the republican
party. They have written themselves
out by their action in determining to
stand for the man whose selfish am
hition has led him to break his solemn
pledge. 10 sidestep and completely
hop on important national matters for
the sake Of gaining the voses Of the
people. and finally in his greed and
determination to have his own way to
bolt the convention and set himself
up for nomination with the puerile
cry OF cheat and fraud when by his
consent the selection Of a candidate
as a compromise could have been ef-
fected
His example. however, in withdraw
ing from the republican party is be-
ing only half heartedly followed by his
organizations. These Dr. Jekyn and
Mr.. Hyde tactics cannot hold good for
long. Duplicity never entered very
seriously into any moral issue or any
issue with great success. and a strad-
der can have no dependence placed
upon him. Basking under the repub-
lic7n organization for strength and
votes in state and local politics. and
breaking therefrom in favor Of a bolt
ing national candidate. whose policy
is rule or ruin. is the height Of in
consistency. To carry out the princi-
pies OF the Bull Moose party it is nee
essary to be a bull moose from caucus
up 10 national politics. Personal gain
Is the only reason for adhering to the
republican state party and breaking
away from the national when it comes
20 a party man.

STORIES WRITTEN BY WIDE
AWAKES
How a Girl Helped the Scouts.

ROW Giri HelPed the scouts.
One day in the first winter of the
civil war, General Mcclellan called
half a dozen of his brightest men and
told them he wanted them to go out
and make a map Of the country. This
was so he would know where to move
his forces.
The men were dressed as citizens
when they started on their journey.
They had to be careful not to let any
body know their business.
In the meantime, General Beaure-
gard had sent out men for the same
purpose. At last they got their draft
ing nearly completed. They were
Confederate soldiers. AS they rode
along they came to a Confederate
house. They stopped there and fin
ished the other drafting.
They raped at the door and told
their business.
There was a little girl there named
Molly. She was a unionist She fol-
lowed them into the drawing room
Soon she asked them what the maps
were for. They said they were pa
pers to show where the Union forts
were.
At that moment she saw through
the window some Union soldiers com
ing, She told the Confederates. They
escaped by the back door, leaving the
papers. Molly then hid them.
When the Union soldiers came in
they asked Molly to watdh at the win
dow that they might not be discov-
cred, AS she stood there she asked
one of the men to take her place. This
they did and Molly ran and brought
the papers. She was praised for the
papers, which helped them more than
their maps,

NEW YORK WAS EoREwARNEp.

Developments are showing that New
York Is bound up in a bad tangle
which is requiring much time to IN
ravel and not a little criticism Of the
conditions whichEt is shown are per
mitted 20 exist there. Matters seem
much worse because Of the fact that
the police seem 70 be so deeply in
VOWED in the entire Rosenthal case,
and the apparent lack Of attention
being paid in that great city to the
advice that the conditions were pre-
vailing there and needed checking.
Mayor Gaynor has maintained that
the wide open city was the best and
the developments must be an eye
opener 10 his policy. Il was not 50
long ago that General Bingham in
his address as police commissioner in
1908 said: There are two places with
in half a mile Of where We are now
where any crime from the lowest TO
the greatest can be bought for money.
and I know t. and many Of YOU men
know Il. and know the places. no doubt
and can't touch them under present
conditions. and say that to all New
York and win prove 70 if they viii
give me the opportunity. That's one
reason I want some secret service
money
This makes Il plain that the city
has been lax in the conduct Of its po-
lice department. F0rewarned should
have made them f1rearmed. but the
conditions Justify the conviction that
gamblers and the police are arm in
srrl New York is being held up as
a giaring example before the world.
Il IS apparent that General Bingham
has been vindicsced in his statement
that murderers exist there for hire.

Dear Uncle Jed I am going to tell
you about my trip to New Haven. /

ing,
While I was there I went to a
friends house where there were two
little girls one was about seven
years old and the other was about
five. They both had long hair. One
had curly hair and the other had
straight hair.
One evening while I was there We
went to a band concert, and it was
very nice.
l saw the Yale and Harvard stu
dents in the parade. They had ball
game and Yale beat After the ball
game was over we came home on the
train.

Arachna.

Arachne lived on the shores Of the
Mediterranean. She was very skill
full in weaving
There was a shellfsh in the sea and
her father used to get it and dye his
wool with it. The dye colored the
wool Tyrian purple. and Araehne used
to weave it very nicely. People came
to her to have her weave many things
for them and they said she was
taught by the goddess Athene
Arachne said she owed all her skill
to herself. The next day an old
woman came to her and tried to per-
suade her to be respectful to Athene,
but Arachne said only boastful things.
Then Athene and Arachne began to
weave a tapestry.
Athene wove beautiful things in
hers, but Arachne had wicked things
in her thoughts, so she wove them
in her tapestry. When Athene saw
that Arachne was so wicked, she
sprinSled some juice of a strange
plant on her. and changed her into a
spider, and now the children Of
Arachne still weave webs of wOndrous
fineness, but beware of their bite, be-
cause they are always ready to show
their venom

THE CONGRESSIONAL CONTEST.


Relying upon experience. of which
he has certainly had more than the
average candidate when it comes to
contest, Raymond j. Jodoin of Sprague
has put forth his request for the nom
nation for congress- at the hands of
the democrats in the second congress
sional district. He displays fear
lessness in his announcement which
savors Of confidence and faith in his
strength in the new district, and gets
his bid before the people early in view
Of the likelihood that others will seek
the goal. In view Of the fact that
Mayor Mahan of New London has
been talked of for the office. Mr.. Jo-
doin's announcement needed to come
early in order to carry its greatest
weight. From democratic stand
point. once Mahan gets into the race
no others need apply, for he is po-
ltical force at the present time in
the eastern end Of the state. Mr.. Jo-
doin was therefore well advised in his
early statement.
Mr. Jodoin measures with reliance
the pace he can go by the pace he
has been, but apparently reckons not
on the difference in the conditions of
two years ago and the present time.
/ Tie was particularly favored not so
much by his personality as by the fact
that dissensions in his opponent $
party sent strength to him. That is
force which he cannot count on
again. There promises to be merry
contest in the new district. however,
with the republican strength greater
than ever this fall and so far General
w. A. King of Wdlimantic, leading
light Of Windham county. has ad-
Iyanced to the receptive ring again,
What the other two counties will de-
mand remains a question

EDUCATING THE NEGROES.

Unquestionably a great good is be-
ing done in the south for the negro
by the educational institutions which
are maintained in their behalf. The
statistics relative to the decrease in
illiteracy among the negroes shows
that the common schools are reaching
them more than they did, while the
higher institutions like Atlanta, Tus-
kegee, Hampton and Fiske are yearly
turning out hundreds who are prepared
to carry on the teaching Of the less
fortunate. The recognized need of
these people is being more and more
realized and the industrial education
which the higher schools specialize in,
came in for Endorsement at the Negro
National Educational congress.
Long has the north been interested
in these schools by furnishing teach
ers in many instances and again in
large contributions to the educational
aid Of the negroes. the million dollar
fund given by the late John f. Slater
Of this city being a steady source Of
benefit This fund has recently per-
mitted a study of the existing condi-
tions in the common schools of the
south relative to the negro by Atlanta
university. This shows that despite
the work being done the negro chill
dren are woefully neglected lack Of
school facilities keeping them from
school and the lack Of good teachers
a great deuriment TO their progress.
There is yet great opportunities for
their betjerment, which persistent eff
fort alone can accomplish, aided by
the disposition to help them from the
whites of that section. Bettering their
ability 10 carry on industrial traits,
and better common school facilities.
though needing plenty Of steady at

Put-of Town.

Did YOU ever so to Put-Off Town.
Where the houses are old and tumble
down.
And everything tarries and everything
drags,
With dirty streets and people in rags?
On the street Of Slow lives Old Man
Wait.
And his two little boys. named Lfnger
and Late
With unclean hands and tousled hair,
And a naughty little sister named
Don't Care.
Grandmother Growl lives in this town.
With her two little daughters. called
Fret and Frown;
And Old Man Lazy lives all alone
Around the corner on street Postpone.
Did you ever go to Put Off Town
To play with the little girls Fret ant
Frown,
Or go to the home of Old Man Wait,
And whistle for his boys to come to
the gate?
To play all day in Tar1y street.
Leaving Your errands for other feet;
To stop. or shrink. or linger. or frown
Is the nearest way to this old town.
