Vote for Good Roads
Make 1t Unanimous for Highway Dis
trict, at the Election April 9th

Does every voter on the Richfield
tract recall that the election to de-
eide the question of an independe
highway district, is to be held here
in Richfield, next Saturday. April )?
When the petition was circulated,
there was not a property owner to
object Indeed, no ground for an
objection has ever occurred 10 the
Recorder, on which even an excuse
could be built to refuse to work for
the measure. 1t looks to be alto
gether good for the territory where
it is applied. But still. so far as it
is known, not another community in
the state has been nearly so unani-
mos in sporting SO good a meas
lire; in a number of places the
majority has voted against forming
a district. That's the difference be
tween a live new community and a
dead old one---here there ar no Old

dictionaries to vote against progress.

COUNTY is FOR TEDDY.
Constructed Delegation to Republi-
can State Convention.

The Lincoln county republican
convention which met at Rupert, on
Friday of last week, sent an unln-
structed delegation to the state con-
vention at Lewiston. Not only was
it uninstructed, but there were no
resolutions of any kind, no speeches
and no fireworks of any KIND save
a suggestion of fire when an effort
was made by the north Side dele
cation to pass a resolution favoring
referring all county division matters
to the people for vote by means
of a constitutional amendment to
be presented at the next legislature,
then voted on two yars latr, and

says AS the matter was held to be
entirely without the province of the
county convention, it was rejected.
The whole work of the convention
was finished and the meeting ad-
journed in less than half an hour.

With the coming of spring, when
the spirit of work and progress is
in the air, and there is prospect of
a better farm and business develop
ment than Richfield and the Rich
field tract has yet known, there is
a good field for discussing the ques-
tion of securing electrical service
for the community.

shone power company considered a

pany will have a magnificent plant,
and there would be every reason to
expect the best of service.
Richfield, however, might secure
electrical service for much less out
lay, by developing the water power
on the Little Wood, below town. A
fall of 40 to SO feet could be util-
lied. and by careful building the
danger of freezing in winter time
could be minimized if not elimin-
ated. making it thoroughly reli-
able plant A bond issue of not to
exceed $4,000 should take care of
the proposition. and the low cost of
service from the municipally-owned
plant should more than care for the
annual interest on the bonds, the re-
tirement of the bonds as they ma
tured. the maintenance and depreci-
alton of the system---and the town
would have the service just as soon
as the plant could be built, and in
the end own it without cost. The
Little Wood could be made suffi-
cient for all power demands for
number of years.

The field is still open for some

delegates are personally pledged to

Boy Killed by Companion.

Cheraw, Feb. 18.-Yesterday af-
ternoon as several of the boys were
out hunting about one mile from
town, young son of J. c.. Webster,
a farmer of tbs county, accidentally
shot and killed Fred Hatcher, the
16-year-old son of James Hatcher,
who has been blacksmith in Che
raw for number of years. The
shooting was clearly an accident. 1t
seems that a covey of birds rose and
and young Webster raised his gun to
shoot. This gun had a defective lock
and the trigger did not catch but
was sprung before the gun was suf-
fciently elevated, the entire load
entering the back of Fred Hatcher,
who was Immediately in front. He
lived but a few hours as the shot
penetrated his lungs, making ter
rible wound.
The burial will take place Monday
in Marlboro county, the old home OF
the family.

NEGRO FROZEN IN ROAD.
Fell from Wagon While on His Way
to His Home.

Jim Miles, a negro man, about SIS
years of age, was frozen to death
Wednesday night on the road, seven
miles from Aiken. Miles, who lived
some ten or twelve miles from the
city, came into town Wednesday with
a load of wood, which he sold, and
bought quart Of whiskey at the dis
pensary. Starting home after dark,
he drank half of the whiskey, and the
bottle containing the remainder was
found by the side of his body. The
night was intensely cold, and it is
supposed that Miles became drunk
and fell from his wagon. During the
night his team of mules reached his
home, but his family did not begin a
search for him until the morning af-
ter. About seven miles from the city
they found the body, stiff and stark,
by the roadside. The man had
crawled through the water and mud
for some distance. The body was
found on the other side of Shaw's
creek, and physicians stated that the
man had been dead for some time.

Women Strikers Disorderly.

Lawrence, Mass, Feb. ia band
of Polish women operatives who are
participating in the textile strike, as
sembled near st. Anthony's Syrian
church early to-day and defied the
police and militia authorities to dis
perse them.
The women numbered about doz-
en- and were engaged in picketing the
vicinity of the mills. They did not
disperse until a squad of about 80
police officers, small detachment OF
infantry and troop of cavalry were
sent to the scene Three of the wo-
men were arrested, charged with dis
orderly conduct.
At some of the mills large in
creases in the number resuming work
to-day was claimed, but there seemed
to be little change at the plants of
the American Woolen Company.
The rumor was persistent this
morning that the stationary fremen
propose to strike late this afternoon
or tomorrow morning. This would
cripple some mills seriously.
