DIR. Herring Dead.

DIR. j. w. Herring, one of the
most prominent citizens of
Maryland, and well known to
the people of Worcester Coun-
ty. died at his home in West
minister last Tuesday. DR..
Herring was a grand old man.
He was loved and respected by
all who knew him. While his
manner was always gentle. yet
he was firm in his convictions
and always stood for the right.
In his death the Democratic
party loses a faithful counselor
and ardent supporter, and the
State loses a faithful supporter
Among the scores Of positions
and affiliations with organiza-
lions as director and officer and
member that Or. Herring occu-
pied during his long life the
one that he took greatest pleas
ure in was his presidency Of
the General Conference of the
Methodist Protestant Church.
Elected in 1872 and reelected
in ls96 to the highest place
within the gift of that denomi-
nation, DR.. Herring was the
only layman ever so honored.

The Coming Convention

Elsewhere in this paper will
be found the call of the Demo
cratic State Central Committee
of Worcester County for the
convention of the party to nomi-
nate a county ticket. The CON
vention will meet in Snow Hill
on Monday, October the sth.
Every Democrat. who can pos
sibly do so, should be in Snow
Hill on that day to lend his
assistance and counsel TO the
delegates in placing before the
people one of the best tickets
ever nominated in this county.
Our party has plenty of good
material. We do not have to 90
to the Republicans for our can
didates as they come to the De-
mocracy for its cast off gar
ments. We have the men. and
all that is necessary for us to
do is to nominate those who
will please the people Then
we can 20 into the fight with
assurances Of a great victory
over the foe, no matter who
they are.
The Democratic party is to
the front in the nation and the
State of Maryland 1t is true
that we now have a Republican
Governor. but we do not intend
TO let this occur again. It is
conceded by everybody that
the Democratic party Of Mary
land was never more united
than it now is. Party men who
strayed off have returned and
have proclaimed that they
found no peace or comfort
with their strange associates
The people of Maryland have
tried Republican rule and So
called Independent rule, and
neither of them has been salts
flying to the people. The oppo.
nents Of the Democratic party.
when out of Office, are always
promising great reforms includ-
ing many things impossible to
accomplish: but when they get
in office the real thing they ac-
complish is TO increase the tax
rate, bring politics into the
public schools, and in so many
WAYS disgust the people, that
they are kept in for only a
short time, and when the gov.
eminent again comes into the
hands of the Democracy the
people feel contented to let il
remain so.
Therefore it is incumbent up
on the delegates to the coming
'ounty convention to put a
rong ticket in the field-one
will satisfy all Democrats,
make all of us rejoice TO
more place our X-marks
te the names of Demo-
the official ballot in
err County.

SENT TOENGLAND APPREHENSION ID MARRY

GLOBE, May 23.-When John J. Harris and Miss Amy J. Brunier were married Monday night by Judge Hinson Thomas a pretty TO- nance was revealed. Neither of the contracting parties is of legal age and both had to present the written consent of their parents before they could secure a marriage license from Judge Wentworth, clerk of the sup erior court.
 Miss Brunier is the daughter of Eugene Brunier, an employee of the Old Dominion mining company where NIT. Harris is also employed. Although his daughter is but Y years old and Mir. Harris but 20, Mir. Brunier saw no objections to the match and readily gave his consent. It was not so easily arranged for the prospective bridegroom. Although he is an American his mother is travel ling in England and 1t took much letter writing before he was able to locate her and get the necessary document. The letter arrived from England Saturday night and MT. Harris was on hand early Monday to secure the license

MULE NOTED FOR
 MAN KILLING PROCLIVITIES
(From Fridays DaiIy.)

T AOAiA DoAiJ-1
 George C. Ruffner brought to the city Wednesday from Skull Valley, one of his mules used in freighting ores from the Commercial mines to the railroad station, that is notorious for its man-killing proclivities, hay ing kicked and stamped to death to date, seven humans.
 This animal comes from Missouri originally and recently was pur- chased in the Salt River Valley. With its treacherous nature, it is prized nevertheless for its hardy frame, being dutiful in harness and eager to carry along any burden re- quired As yet it has not shown any desire to claim another victim in this section, as extreme caution is cxer- cised by those teamsters having it in charge, while it is in or out of harness. The only man not injured that has had it in charge is J. M. Welch, foreman of the Ruffner teams in Skull Valley, an experienced horssman, and who stated yesterday that this mule would bear the clos est of watching under all conditions while being handled Three men were kicked to death and four were killed by being trampled on.

GOOD ROADS BONDS
 NOT A DEAD ISSUE

PHOENIX, May O.-The initia- ton of the constitutional amendment providing that the State of Arizona may issue bonds in excess of the $35O,000 limit now in the constitu- ton, is assured.
 When House Bill No. 25, known as the Linney bill and providing for the above, and which had the en- sorsement of all the boards of sup ervisors, good roads associations and a number of the commercial clubs in the state, was refused consideration by the Senate after having been in the hands of the committee on con- stitutionaI amendments and referen- dunn since April 22nd; the members of the House got busy and organiz- ed "the Linney Bond Initiative As sociation" electing H. H. Linney, speaker of the House, president, and Roy N. Davidson, member of the 24th legislative assembly, secertary.
 Headquarters have been establish ed in the National Bank of Arizona Building, and as soon as the con- stitutioual amendment is drafted pc iitions for initiating the same will be sent out to every county in the State for circulation. From the en- thusiasm already shown there is lit tle doubt that more than enough signers will be secured within Very short time.
 The question will be voted on al the general election in 1914 and i carried the legislature in 1915 vii
