tampering with q ballot box, for the
miserable thing had not then bees

Well. election day came In that
good year 1S45. and the sovereigns In

and when the returns came In from
all the counties II was found that
Tredway had just ono more vote thar

he was declared elected by a majori-
~ OF one. Was there any talk Of q
contes, or a recount? Certainly not
irregularities. or cheating, or ballot

king Of rascality IN the conduct OF
the election? Certainly not. for the
people had never heard OF or dseamed
Of such things. and the friends Of

suilied name Of Fiournoy. And II any
such thought had entered the minds
Of either side. there stood old viva
voce TO declare that there had beer
no frauds. and in the nature Of the
case there could not be any. That
grand old man. Thomas stanhops
F'Iournoy. simply congratulated his
friend. Tredway. and then vhetted his
knife for another tight, which took
place two years afterwards. and in
that race Flournoy beat Tredway BY
quite a good majority.
Contest seems Certain.
But how about it now In the Fourth
District? No matter what may be the
verdict OF the district committee next
Monday when the nnal count Is made.
II IL a foregone conclusion that the
losing man will contest, and each side
will undertake 70 prove rascal!ty and

BY ONE MAJORITY
Tredway Once Defeated Flour

the Living Voice"
NO TALK THEN OF CONTEST
Loser Congratulated Winner
and Then Defeated Him
Two Years Later.
BY FRANK 8. wOODsON.,

Speaking in the language of the
baseball fans. the primary in the
Fourth Congressional District had
something Of a heart sitting" I'm
ish. IL. indeed. it has been finished.
One day the reports had Turnbul!
elected by less than ten majority and
the next day Watson was reported to
have waited under the string with
three or five or nine majority. 1t was
awfully close. and the end is not yet.
for the papers and the politicians ali
agree that there is to be long
drawn-out contest. and the air is full
Of rumors OF charges and counter
charges Of frauds and irregularities.
and ballot box stuning, and illegal
voting. and all that kim of thing.
and with It all ! heard well-read and
weiI-informed people declaring that
never in the history of Virginia was
there such a close election. That last
proposition Is a mistake as shall here
matter appear.
Everybody who has discussed this
contest between Turnbull and Watson
readily reaches tae conclusion that
no matter who shall finally be de-
clared the winner OF the congressional
prize. there must necessarily be a
contest. and perhaps a very bitter
one. in which the defeated man. de-
feated by SO small a margin. will
have but little trouble in proving
frauds and irregularities and short
cuts and dishonest things in general
on the part of his opponent or the
friends and supporters Of his oppon-
ent. These things seem to be taken
for granted should not wonder II
both side. prove no little of rascahty
practiced on and before the election
day It seems to be easy enough to
90 that in any election IN these lat
ter days. II was not thus in the old
en- time, in the days of the Old viva
voce method Of voting. Nobody ever
heard Of election frauds and double
voting and ballot box stuffinx and
political short cuts in those DAYS.

BLOOD POISON
CAUSED DEATH

Minot. N. d.. Feb. 10.-Deputy Sher-
iff Dan Dougherty has returned from
Ryder and brought news of the death
of Daniel Ditto, a claim holder residing
In Mclean county about twelve miles
south of Ryder. II appears that Ditto
had been out driving New Years day
and had his feet badly frozen. Al
though he suffered intensely he did
not regard the injuries as serious and
contented himself with applying such
remedies as he had about the house.
Blood poisoning set in, however, and
he was taken TO Ryder early Monday
morning where he was given medical
attention. The effects OF the poison
ing had reached such an advanced
stage, however. that the efforts Of the
physicians to save the mans life proved
unayailing and he died Monday night
Mr.. Dougherty was at the Fredeen
hotel when the unfortunate man ar
rived there and stated today that the
case was one of the most pftiable that
he had ever seen.
His limbs were terribly swollen
said Mr.. Dougherty, and he suffered
intensely before he died.
Ditto was about 55l yeats of age and
unmarried. Relatives in Indiana were
notified and will look after the re-
mains.

Bemfdji. Mimi, Feb. 1O.--'The IFrl-

cent before the North Central Minne-
sofa Teachers association conventions
now in session here.
1T is not fair to make the uniyer-
sity merely place of agreeable and
cultivated leisure. much less a place
OF idleness," said he. "The many
sidedness of great university makes
it impossible to say that there is any
one thing that makes it desirable
Our modern life is complex 1t has
many problems. The university ought
20 stand for public service in great
variety OF ways through education OF
those who resort to it, through orig
inaI Investigations which add to hui
man knowledge and still through the
widespread distribution of knowledge
and suggestion to all the people of the

make this aim too specific, but uni

HOW LOWLY SPUD
TAKES ON VALUE
ON TRIP TO TABLE
HOW sPuD's VALUE GROWS
FROM FIELD TO KITCHEN

Minneapolis, Feb. 10.-That staple
Of the family table, the potato. grows
in value but not in size from the time
it leaves the field until it reaches the
kitchen door. In fact its increase in
worth mounts by leaps and bounds.
as shown by figures compiled today
through both wholesalers and retailers.
The potatoes for which the house
keeper pays by the peck from s1.so to
$3.50 per busheI In the Minneapolis re
tail market, fetch the farmer who
raises them only from 70 to SIS cents
The wholesaler gets them to the city
at total outlay, including original
cost, of from S21k to 971s cents. and
disposes of them to the retailer at
prices ranging from 80 to $1.15.
Not all the Jobber's 12k cent profit
goes to swell his bank account, how
ever. Out OF it must be paid the cost
of unloading the potatoes. transport
ing them to wholesale houses. storing
them and delivering them to retailers,
to say nothing OF the rent on buildings
and interest ON the money invested in
the precious tubers.
The same lis true OF the grocer'R
profit. The retailer makes an average
of about 80 cents on each bushel OF p0-
tatoes, according to wholesalers. But
this gross profit is sadly diminished
before it finds its way into the tore
leeper's private strong box. Rent. up
keep or store. clerk hire, maintenance
of a delivery system. losses Of unpaid
accounts, losses on spoiled goods and
other drains, take so much Of the
money that. according to the retailers
themselves. the grocer is very fortun-
ate il considerably less than 10 cents
OF his s0-cent gross profit is left fol
net gain.

WARRANTS
FOR 400 men
ARE ASKED
Hopes to Prove Arbitrary Prices
Are Fixed
Two Men Said to Set Prices
Each Day
Butter and Eggs Are COrnered
and Controlled

New York. Feb. 10.--"John Doe"
proceedings, that have been instituted
by Assistant District Attorney Ford
to ascertain whether the New York
Merchant exchange, an organization
of butter and egg men, controls prices
and is a conspiracy in restraint OF
trade, are expected by the public pros
ecutor TO show that two members OF
the exchange arbitrarily fixed the
prices for 400 members of the organ
ization.
The prosecutor said today these two
men each day visited the several places
of business of certain members OF the
exchange and made real or pretend
ind inquiries as to the state of the
egg and butter market. After this
inquiry the list Of prices was posted
on the exchange.
The prosecutor says the exchange
by this method has crushed out com
petition and that by arrangement the
members are able to buy eggs and
butter at the lowest possible price in
the flush" season and store them,
and sell them In winter months at the
highest possible price.
Warrants for 400 members OF the
exchange have been asked for by Ford.

FEUD LEADER
Shot DEAD
Man Who Boasted Of Killing
20 Killed
son MET THE SANE FATE
NERvY CONSTABLE ATTEMPTED
TO SERVE WARRANT ON THE
YouNER MAN AND WAS COM
PEELED TO SHOOT FATHER AND
SON.

Pineville, KY, Feb. 1O--One of the
noted feud leaders in the Big Sandy
valley, Louis Hall, who had boasted
of killing twenty men. was shot and
killed at shelby Gap in the Pine noun
tains yesterday, by Constable George
johnson.
A moment later his son, Morgan
Hall, met the same fate at the same
hands. The people of that section fear
revival OF the feud war.
Johnson had a warrant for Morgan
Hall, who was suspected OF operating
a blind tiger" and openly defied the
detectives to enter his home. The
shooting followed the constable's at
tempt to read a warrant for the junior
Halls arrest.
