the fine, had not crowd of sympathzing Ma

as he had never been before. The week after his
encounter with the police he was sworn in as
regular member of the secret society ready to
take the field against the Government when the
rebellion was announced. He had. however. stipu-
lated that he should not be asked to leave the
forge until actual war had broken out and his
wishes respected Many firearms were

ex-patients were obtained by DR..
Barnes. These ranged from 81 to

Election of Committees.

Since the election November many
inquiries have been made by Democrats
as to when the reorganization of the
party and the election of committees
will take place, and in response to these
inquiries Hon. R. H. Vansant. chair
man of the Democratic State Central
and Executive Committees; and Mr..
John w. Woods, secretary, have given
to the press the following:
1--WE have been asked by a large
number of Democrats in the State as
to when the reorganization of the par
ty and the election of committees will
occur. The party law requires that
the election be held on January Is, 49,
13. Before that time all the commit
eemen in the State and others who may
desire will have copy of the party
laws. We hope that the county news
papers will, before that time, publish
the law in full, or at least that part of
it that pertains to the election of the
committee. This will be done about
the first of January, 1918.

AS the election is over and the
farmers as a general thing are not
seeking office, the mule season is
about over and comparatively little do
ing in that line. there was not much of
consequence to attract the people to
town on last Monday, county court
day. However, because of it also be-
ginning of circuit court a fair sized
crowd gathered. There was the usual
amount of jockeying and plug horse
sales but none of consequence. There
was an unusually small number of cattle
at the yards, and what were there were
Indifferent in quality, however, most
of them changed hands at the prevail
ing market prices.
Tobacco men were here from all the
loose leaf markets, talking the merits
of their respective houses, but owing
to the exceedingly dry weather, and
the fact that the sales that have so far
been made, have been top crops it is
hard to tell just exactly what may be
expected in the way of prices, and the
farmers are lighting shy as to commit
ing themselves as to where they will
take their crops.

The meeting of the Progresslves OF
the county at the court house Monday,

chairman, indicates that the leaders OF
the new party hope to have a perma-

lutions adapted, they are planning a
fight for the county offices next year.
Reform" is the slogan of those who
have left the old party and enlisted un-
der the bandanna flag
The particular local political condi-
tion that seems to nausiate the new
leaders is the alleged use of money and
whiskey to influence elections in the
county. The lealers have pledged the
party against use of either in elections.
This is the single plank proclaimed,
