.OlL on THE DUSTY Road
A Little SprinkIed on City
Streets Would Help
Some

Salisbury commenced oiling
their streets the first time Tues
day. The oil does not appear
handsome at the first application
but it certainly keeps down the
dust and helps the roads shed
the water during the heavy
rains. Why would it not be a
pious idea for this city to oil its
streets, that is, in the business
section. Say, for instance the
Young hotel corner to the Vau-
ghans store corner. If not the
Young block, then exclude it and
oil the two blocks from the hotel
to Vaughan's. Adding a block
to each end of this would be a
big help. The process is not
costly and a single application a
year would work wonders.
Why not get in the game and
keep down the dust. 1t would
pay. Let the new council get
into this matter, find what il
would cost and get busy.

Ellison Admits Forgery

Sheriff 0'Bryan went to
Shenandoah, Iowa, last week
and returned Thursday with E.
E. Ellison in his custody. Ellison
is wanted for forging two checks
on the Dalton Bank, using the
signature. of Clyde Bentley in
order to get the money. Ellison
formerly worked for Bentley at
the latter's sawmill near this
city and, month ago, when he
presented a check for $500 ap.
parently drawn by Bentley on
the Dalton Bank the Farmers
Bank of this city cashed it. He
then cashed another check for
the same amount made out the
same way, at the Bank of Key
tesville. He then left this city
and state. The sheriff finally
located Ellison at work on a farm
near Shenandoah, Iowa and
went over and arrested him.
Ellison did not ask for any war
rant or papers showing t h e
sheriff's right to make the ar
rest there or to bring him home.
He admitted the deed and
came back to the Jail with the
sheriff where he awaits trial.

Two-Court Rate Cases

1t will be but a short time be-
fore the Supreme court of the
United States decides the cases
involving the 2.eei1ts a mile
rate for railroads in this state.
The decision of the court in
some of the cases in other states,
seem to indicate that the court
will uphold the two-cent rate
here but the further decision
that the particular facts govern
ing each road would have to do
with the courts decision in each
individual case may result in
some of the railroads being per-
mitted to charge more, if the
facts warrant their making this
charge. The final decision
ought to come about the first of
next week to which time the
Supreme court adjourned after
deciding part of the cases be-
fore it.

Summer Silo

The summer silo is the latest
departure in the housing and
use of ensilage. While the win
ter silo is filled with corn the
summer silo is generally filled
with a latter corn crop and in
certain dairy districts sometimes
the ensilage is half corn and
half alfalfa and sometimes half
oats and half cowpeas. Kaffir
corn has also been used very
successfully. The little summer
silo, which is generally half the
size of the winter silo, remains
sealed all winter and through
the early spring but when the
first hot days come it is unsealed
and feeding is commenced. 1t
not only supplants soiling. but
is an insurance against drouth,
grasshoppers. poor pastures and
Other farm ills.
If properly sealed silage can
be left for years in the concrete
summer silo or in any other air
tight silo before being used.

William Fullbright Dead

At Santa Monica, California,
where he and his wife have re-
sided for some years, William
Fullbright died Wednesday of
heart disease from which he has
suffered for several years.
In 1869 William FulIbright and
his wife who was Miss Ida
Empson, the former a native of
Virginia and the latter of Indiana
came to this state and settled on
a farm which they occupied for
so long time southwest of Roth
vile, and for years, in fact, un-
til a few years ago, there was
no more familiar face in that
section of the country than that
of the man who at the age of 70
shuffled off his mortal coil in a
land of sunshine and flowers and
fragrant breezes distant from
the scene of his successful busi-
ness career. There were four
children, three boys and one
girl, two of the boys dying in
childhood and Jay Fullbright a
banker of Fayetteville, Arkansas
and Mrs. A. F. Arlington of this
city surviving.
The remains of the deceased
were cremated and will be re-
turned to this county for inter-
ment at some later date though
the arrangements or intentions
of the family are not definitely
known.
1t is said that the aged widow,
one of the best women on earth,
will make her home with her
daughter in this city, Mrs. Ar
rington having departed Wednes-
day for California to join and
assist her mother.

camping spot and also having a
little fun during the day. They
walked to the Charlton where
swimming could be one of the

the water Tuesday to see if it
was alright and found it good
to be in. They had a picnic
dinner and returned in the even
tired but cheerful. Their camp

JUNGLE AND THE BEASTS
Tropical Verdure Of Price
Park Little Scary
After Dark

The grass on the outside of
the Price park along the road,
was cut, after a fashion, this
week. The cutting of this
fringe aroused the hope of an
ardent advocate of the beautify-
ing of this little plat, that the
work of moving might be con-
tinued until the scythe had de-
vastated the square of its grassy
and weedy covering which is
now waist high and smells to
Heaven. If the Price monument
is erected on this weed patch
and the grass and weeds permit
tied to grow as they now are,
the heroic likeness of the deceas-
ed General will have a hard
time seeing above the top of the
tangle. 1t ought not to require
many days work to do this and
it ought not cost much money.
Someone ought to do it. If the
junior editor of the Courier had
handled a scythe he would do it
himself just for pride in the
town. Hasn't someone else a
little militant pride in this plat
that should be we'll kept? Some
day someone will get lost in the
jungle and become food for the
lions and tigers or bitten by a
cobra and, then, too late, efforts
will be made to repair the dam
age.

footwork and got over the ring
rapidly and effectively The
drys fell far short Of the strength
demonstrated in 1908 but were a
little stronger than they were a
year ago.
Below will be found printed
the tabulated vote of the various
townships and precints at the
three different elections. The
totals indicate that opinion has
apparently not changed much
since the first election, or one or
other side of the question have
from time to time failed to get
out the full vote.
In the second election, in 1912
the vets polled 54 more votes
than in 1908. The drys polled
713 less votes at the same
election than they did in the
proceeding one. The vets at
the last election polled about the
same number of vote they did in
the first election while the drys
poIled nearly 300 more than they
did in 1912. This indicates that
the strong organization of the
drys this year and the resolution
carried into effect to get out
more of their vote, accounted
for the difference. AS said, the
results Of the elections held
would indicate nothing as to the
change Of opinion, or at least,
very little, one either side as
concerns the question involved.

The election is over and for
four years at least, the question
Of the open saloon will not be a

The election passed quietly.
There were no fights nor disturb
ance of any kind excepting
some mild vocalisms which were
as the passing zephyrs. People
who recollect how things were
during the first fight when the
drys polled 668 votes more than
their opponents, with a total of
1854 votes and a grand total of
5000 votes cast, will decide the
last election was tame with to-
tai Of 4681 votes cast.
The vets were apathetic this
year. They did little work.
The drys had a very effective
organization. Much of their
ammunition was wasted, some
of it went to enthusing the luke
warns and some of their coin
went into the old-line practice of
getting out the vote, the most
effective part of their campaign.
