THE ''DAWG" SONG

CHICAGO, February 22.--Now, boys,
all together:
Every time | come to town,
The boys keep kickin my dawg
aroun';
Makes no difference it he is a houn',
They gotta quit kickin' my dawg
aroun'.
With the information that the Ozark
"dawg song" has been adopted as the
official chant of the Missouri state
democratic convention, which will
open tomorrow in Joplin, Mo-, accord
ing to an Associated Press dispatch,
some local politicians are fastening
to brush up their minor notes with a
view to harmony in the latest angle
of modern politics. Copies of the fam
Gus song have reached Chicago and
are being tried over on pianos in many
parts of the city. The sad tale of the
dog runs as follows:
Wunst me n Lam Briggs n OF Bill
Brown
Tux load of Gavin to town,
An oil Jim-dawg the onry cuss
He jes' nachley follered us.
(Chorus.)
Every time | come to town,
The boys keep kickin' my dawg
aroun'.
Makes no difference if he is houn'
They gotta to quit kickiA my dawg

(Chorus.)
They tied a tin can to his tail

the New York city watershed and IN
the pennsylvania mounted constabul-
airy there are former Guardsmen and
Regulars, and drawing upon these for
an analogy the Hawaiian newspaper
believes the ex-soldier would provide
the best kind of police service for the

be given to the eX-soldier a means of
livelihood that would make of value
to his daily work his physical fitness
his army discipline, his ability to
handle himself in an emergency.
Boys Receive Warning.
NEW YORK, February 2i.-The
visit of zoo boys to the Marine Corps
range at Winthrop, Md, where the
lads wer instructed by officers and
men of the corps stationed there, was
an object lesson that greatly impress
ed the school authorities accompany
ing the boys. The order in which the
work progressed, the lack of rowdyism
and the discipline shown by the boys
were a revelation to the school Off
Gals.
Lieut. Col. II. Liggett, L. s. A.,

giving figures as to what can be done
to arouse juvenile shooting enthusi-
asm says that rifle practice in the pub
lie schools would be of great benefit
in making available as recruits for
the National Guard young men posses
sed of elementary knowledge of shoot
ing. Assuming only fifteen per cent.
| Of the boys in the elementary and all
of those in the secondary schools to
! be available there would be under in
struction each year approximately
1873, 900 elementary boys and $4,000
secondary. In four years after there
would be in the United States approx.
mately 100000 young men familiar
with the rifle, many of them being eX-
perts, and the number would be in
creased about 100000 annually.

Mr.. Hadley Of Missouri has de-
cided not to join the new party Of
his erstwhile peerless leader. For
one thing, Mr.. Hadley is one OF the
shrewest Of the republican leaders

light, when the Colonel was sprung
as the onliest saviour of the nation.

There is a little bit of fighting,
here and there, in the Baltimore
convention, but all the same the
convention moves. Every day they
do the thing scheduled to be done.
There is no sparring for time, no
pettifogging, no fi~libustering. A
good, strong gathering Of ~represen-
tative democrats, met together to
transact the business they were APP
pointed. to do, in spfte of individual

AS soon as the rush of business is
over we may expect the Colonel to
take time to tell his real opinion of
the Chicago convention. So far we
have only got a few brief, vigorous,
sizzling adjectives. These are good
enough as far as they go, but they
lack coherency. His views should
be stated under a videlicet, as it
were. What we need is not so much
of the general view as the particu-
lars-all the particulars.

The offer of amnesty to the rebels
at this crisis in their affairs is
doubtless a shrewd move on the part
of Madero's government. 1t comes
at a time when the nerves of the Of
ficers and men of the rebel force
must be a bit shaken by the unprom-
Using outlook at present. If they
reject the amnesty now they viii
have only themselves to blame for
any serevities that may result to
them hereafter on the part Of the
government.

Whoever the nominee of the

There will be a youngster among
the pages at the democratic conven-
ltion in Baltimore who gives prom
Use Of becoming a distinguished poll
itician when he attains a few more
years. He is Harry Schaefer a kid
of little more than thirteen, the son
of an official of the navy Depart
ment. Employees of the federal civ
il service with large families do not
have very large bank accounts as
a rule and Harry's father is not an
exception to the rule. The boy on
ceived the idea of earning his own
way. He remembered that Repre-
sentative Hobson of Alabama, was
engaged in trying to block the en-
trance to the harbor OF Santiago
about the time that he, Harry, was
born. He interview Mr.. Hobson and
calling attention to the fact that
his father was connected with the
Navy Department, asked the eX-cap-
tain to secure him a place as a page
on the floor of the House of Repre-
sentatives. Captain Hobson was ia
ken with the enterprise Of the young
lster and complied with mis- %request.
Harry concluded that he would like
to see a national convention from
the inside He borrowed a typewri-
ter and wrote out half a dozen let
tiers Of recommendation for himself.
These he took 70 Speaker Clark, lea
der Underwood and other promin-
ent Democrats and asked their sig
natures. They all complied with the
request. Then he wrote an applica-
Ition to Mr.. Trey Woodson, secretary
of the national committee, and en-
closed the letters. Mr.. Woodson in
a letter to Speaker Clark promised
the appointment and added that
such a youngster is too good a politi-
clan to be kept down. That's how
1t happens that among the pages at
the convention in Baltimore is Har-
ry Schaefer, some day destined to
be known as more than a page.
The rather warm proceedings in
Chicago during the past few days
have brought out all sorts of reminis-
licences of previous hot political con-
tests. A gentleman from Oklahoma

WASHINGTON T 7


Washington, ID. c., June 20
Owing to the absence of so many
members of the Senate and the
House from Washington, no attempt
has been made to reach an agree
ment on the River and Harbor bill
this week. 1t Is not probable now
that the measure will be perfected
in time for the Presidents sigma
.ture before the close of the fiscal
year. Fortunately however this will
not result in any particular embar-
rassment to the Corps Of Engineers
in charge of the various works
throughout the country. Those pro-
jects which have already been au-
thorized will proceed just as though
the appropriations authorized were
made available, and while it Will be
impossible to begin the new works
provided for in the bill now pending,
the practical certainty that the
measure will soon become a law as
sures the continuance of the general
policy of Improvement of the water
ways beyond any question.

HAT NAY BE THROWN
INTO SOUTH CAROLINA
Col. Roosevelt Queries as to Possfbil-
ity of Bull Moose Invasion OF
State.

Aiken, Sept. 21.-That Col. Roose-
velt, presidential candidate Of the Bull
Moose party, is anxious to gain foot
hold in South Carolina is made plain
~ a telegram received this morning
from Col. Roosevelt by 3. Sherwood
Dunn, a capitalist Of Aiken, and Au-
gusta. The colonel wired Mr.. Dunn,
who is a close personal acquaintance
of the former president, to ask if
there exists any statute Of limitation
in this State regulating the placing OF
n electoral ticket in the field Mr..
.Junn sought legal advice on the mat
ter, and ascertaini-.g that the Bull
Moose party may place it's ticket in
the field any time before the general
election in November, he wired this
information in answer to Col. Roose-
velt's inquiry.
The telegram received today from
Col. Roosevelt is not the first that has
passed between Mr.. Dunn and the Bull
Moose nominee on the subject, and
while it is speculative as to what may
or may not be done, the situation pre-
sents an interesting aspect to the Cit
izenry of South Carolina.

NEWBERRY COTTON MARKET.
Cotton Being Sold Rapidly-Price
GOod-Receipts to Date.

The cotton market at NeWberry,
since the opening of the season, has
been rather active. On Saturday 479
bales were sold, the price ranging
from 1855 to 11.75. At these prices,
even with the prospect of a short
crop, the farmers will realize more
from the present crop than they did
from the large crop of last year. The

There have been sold at this market
since the opening of the season on
September 1, up to September 21, LIT
bales. The receipts at Newberry for
the season 1911-12 were 25,732 bales
an against 1875 for the season 1910
II, and 1890 for the season 19O9-lO.
The total crop of the United States
-. the season 1911-12 was 16,1O1, 900
bales, exclusive of linterS. The crop
for this season is estimated at least
100000 bales less than the crop OF
1911-12, which will be probably half
million bales less than the world
consumption. With such crop pros
poets, it seems almost Impossible for
the price to decrease.

Rev. j. B. Harmon Accepts Call to
Churches i'm Georgia.

About three weeks ago the Rev. j.
B. Harmon, pastor of the Mayer Memo
rial and Summer Memorial Lutheran
churches Of this place, notified the
councilmen of these congregations
that he had under consideration call
to become pastor OF the Lutheran
churches in Senoia and HARRISON, Ga.
This information was received with re-
gret and all were anxious to know
what would be the decision in the
matter At a meeting of the JOINT
council of this pastorate last Sunday
a week, Pastor Harmon announced his
decision. He said that while he mad
enjoyed the work among these breth-
rem, and had, with the help of the
Lord, made progress, he believed, in
these congregations in different ways,
and saw other things that he would
like to do, yet he believed it was his
duty to accept the call to the churches
in Senoia and HARRISON, Ca, owing
to their present condition. (They
have been without a pastor for over
two years except some work done by
Rev. A. ]. Bowers, D. D., each sum-
mer). The council were unanimous
in expressing their reluctance in ac-
oepting this resignation, but bowling to
the will of Him who doelh all things
we'll, they accepted it to take effect
the last of October
Pastor Harmon is an earnest ana
forcible speaker, good singer and a
conscientious worker Since he has
taken charge of this work, it has gone
forward in many respects. The at
tendance and membership have in
creased, the singing improved, the
congregations instructed in the cate
chisn, and the Duplex enevlope system
Of finance has been introduced and is
working in both congregations.
