THE PRIMARY.

1t is only a few days now un-
til the primary election, Aug. Is,
and what are you going to do?
This is one time in PemiScot
county when the democrats are
put to guessing, and should keep
Il keen lookout for possible oil =
stacleS that republicans may
throw in the way.
Back in the old days, and only
a few elections ago in PpmiScOt
county, when the republicans in
the county were not controlled by
bosses, and not having "A fighting
chance, they could be depended
upon. But it is different now,
and the bosses are the party.
SO far as the republican state
and national ticket is concerned,
they have but little hopes, if any,
of winning, and they realize that
the small vote of Pemicot county
in the primary would not be IA
drop in the bucket.
But in county affairs the Situa.
tiOn is different.
Through their loyal paper, the
Argus, they have been sowing
tle seeds of diSSenSiOn.
They have brought in the TEN
pearance question.
They have brought in the
county auditing question.
They have brought in every.
thing that could be thought of to
split the democratic vote in Pemi,
scot county.
Knowing this, what are the
democrats going to do?
Are we deliberately going in
to the republican trap?
1t is now time to get on youl
thinking cap.
Why, out here in the neighbor
hood of Hayti, they are even try
ing to bring the stock law uT
, against candidate for county
Office, who, when he is elected
will move to Charlottesville anc
become citizen of that city.
This shows the extreme t,
which politics can go.
1t is now time for democrat.
to wake up and pull the blint
t from over their eyes. The snar,
is set and they are marchin!
right into it, unless they get t,
. thinking.
Get to thinking and get t,
thinking now.
Let us all vote for and nomi
nate the strongest and best man
Let us forget personal feeling
likes and dislikes, and get in lin
=, with the party.

THAT BOYCOTT(?).

Well, the boycott against the
town has finally come, and as u.s.
ual, the first thing to be struck
down is the home paper, the one
that works hardest and does
most for the upbuilding of the
community and spends it's life
for the betterment of humanity;
the one that fights for the high
and low alike and which is never
more happy than when doing
some good deed.
The boycott is supposed to be
against the entire town-the mer.
chants, lawyers. doctors and all,
because Hayti has a stock law.
The first one to order the pa.
, per stopped was Mr.. w. H. H..
who was owing us since May 10,
but had asked us to continue the
paper, saying that he would bring
us some butter to pay for it. He re
considered his boycott, however,
and lold us to continue his paper,
and in the meantime he has open
ed up a business and SOlicitS the
patronage of the people of Hayti.
The next order to stop the pa
per came from V. T., who OF der
ed the paper last April, saying
that he would pay for it in a few
days, but as he neglected to do
so before refusing to accept his
paper from the poStoffice, we re-
ported his case 10 the postoffice
department at Washington, D. G..
On more than one occasion this
man has sought the patronage of
the people of Hayti in d business
way.
Next came n. A., who, by the
way, up to a few weeks ago was
engaged in business, and had
neglected to pay his advertising
account, and we have brought
suit against him in Esq. Allen :
court.
From the above, it will be seen
that those who are fighting hard
est are those we have sought to
befriend and accommodate, and
while the matter is really too silly
to merit serious thought, it is
the experience of every business
man that those he accommodates
most turn out to be his bitterest
enemies.
We do not want any credit sub
ScriptionS. advertising or joE
work. as we have always found il
a losing proposition. Our terms
are cash, and we only extend
credit as a matter aCcOmmOda
tion, and those we have accom-
modated will hereafter be kinC
enough to call and pay what they
owe before going on the war patti
against us.

Last week the work of cutting
the weeks along the streets was
begun. Now. let us see if some
thing cannot be done with the
vacant lots. This summer is
very sickly, and the town cannot
be kept too clean.

Some Indian Chiefs.

Spotted Tail was a strong character,
a wise and really great chief. He
would have been a statesman, diplo-
matist or able governor If he had been
a white man.
Crazy Horse was the incarnation Of
ferocity-a fierce, restless warrior,
who had made a great reputation as
successful leader OF raids and war par
ties and had become at the age of
twenty-six the recognized leader OF
the Ogallallas. the most warlike tribe
OF the Sioux nation.

four windmill blades, set at right an

be represented by couple Of beer bar

The barrels are not beer, but -four
barrels. In early colonial times under

Hat taxes We're always more ef-

taxed the blocked beaver out Of ex-

brought a substantial revenue. Stamps
were fixed inside the crown OF the hat
from threepence to 2 shillings, accord
ing to its price. while the penalties for
selling unstamped hats ranged from
flo to go. and the punishment for
counterfeiting a hat stamp was death.
