HUDSON PROPERTY
WAS SOLD TUESDAY
ATPUBLIC AUCTION
BROUGHT EXCELLENT PRICE
Sale Subject to Confirmation
By Owners

The sale yesterday of the Hudson
Ico,.e,l ly at Lee and Lamar street,
owned by heirs of the late w. B
Hudson, v&s an important one and at
tracted 10 the scene numerous pros
prctlve III, ca:Ors and onlookers, as
while the lot is covered over with old
frame buildings, the property is con-
sidered quite valuable, and there was
much speculation as to the prices the
lots would bring.
The sale was conducted by the Car
olina Development Co., and while thu
sale of the entire property was effected
at an aggregate value of $15, ,052 so, the
sale is yet to be confirmed by the sey.
eral owners.
The corner lot, fronting fifty feet on
Lee and extending back eighty feet on
Lamar, was bought by Easterlin Bros
for $500. The adjoining lot on Lee
street, fronting % feet, was bough'
| by Mr.. T. L. Bell at the price of $2,175
%hile the two remaining lots on Lee
fronting something like % feet each
were secured by Mr.. w. A Gossett, Of
| Atlanta, who bought them as an
investment.
The Lee street frontage, therefore
brought $1S,S625O Two lots fronting
| 20 feet on Lamar street, opposite the
Lockett stables, brought $3.50 and
,250, respectively, Mr. r. E. Allison
| being Cne purchaser.
1t was the concensus of opinion
among real estate men and onlookers
generally that the sum total for the
property, $15,052.50, was very good
one. After having thus been sold in
small tracts, the property was Offer
ed as whole parcel, but there was n:
bid on that proposition. AS stated, th'
sale is yet to be confirmed by th'
owners, ere it is considered go"
In the event the sale is thus effected
some of the lots will be built upon im

buildings now there.

(stories which have probably grown
like snowballs as they have rolled down
the pathway of the years. ; you cannot
do these things and not plant, in the
child's life, seeds of anarchy. All the
firecrackers with which you may
allow him to burn his fingers and
disturb your neighbors on the Glorious
Fourth, can never make the account
square.
You cannot teach the child, either
by word or example, that obedience
to law is matter of taste and conven-
fence. and then hope that the seed of
anarchy will not take root. Teach him
that the game laws are only to be kept
when their infringement is likely to be
punished, but that the law against the
sale of oleomargarine for butter is
sacred, and you are nourishing a very
promising plant of anarchy.
If anarchistic feelings and senti-
ments are to be overcome there must
be sympathy, recognition on the part
OF classes in the community of the
rights and the aims of other classes.
The trades union denounces the
capitalist and then capitalizes arson
and dynamiting. the farmer denounces
trusts and then tries to organize a
trust of his own. The fact is that no
class of producers in this country can,
| if they possess grain Of the sense of
humor, call the others selfish. With
regard to that fault they are all, as
yet, 'unco weak and little to be
trusted" AS long as this is so; as
long as each one is insisting on his own
particular benefit without regard to
the rest he is as selfish as any of the
others.
Anarchy is best avoided when a
large portion of the community has
sympathy with other portions that
are differently employed. When we
truly realize that neither manufacturer
nor farmer, neither exporter nor i'm
porter can suffer seriously without the
entire community suffering with him,
we will have done much to prevent
anarchy.

Was local politics ever so quiet only
a twelve month before election? No
one has even whispered that they
would like to be senator from Orleans
county and town representative candi-
dates have not declared their desires.

desire to hold these responsible public
trusts will more than ever find it nee.
essary to make public their stand on

The Monitor wishes to give credit to
one small village which has made a
move for better fire protection. A
business man in Westfeld has placed
a hydrant centrally in the town. This
is better than nothing whatever and if
plenty of hose IS kept and some kind
of an o1ganiz maintained some
thing might be done to check a fire.

Dispatches from Maine during the
congressional fight there found their
way into some Vermont dailies stating
that Charles H. Thompson of this
state who was campaigning for the
Progressives there said Governor
Fletcher was about to go over to the
Progressives. 1t caused quite stir
for a few days but as soon as
Thompson read the dispatch he denied
such a statement and the only thing
he said that could possibly be con-
strued in such manner was remark
to the effect that Governor Fletcher
was giving the state remarkably pro-

Opposition to Redmond.

Considerable opposition has devel-
oped to the possible appointment Of
John W. Redmond as justice of the
supreme court bench in Vermont, and,
curiously enough. much of the opposi-
ton comes from Mr.. Redmond's own
territory in northern Vermont. For in
stance the Newport Express and Stand
ard remarks: GA man of Mr.. Red
mond's temperament, no matter what
his capabilities, is not fit for Judge.
This is evidence which Governor
Fletcher doubtless will take into con.
sideration in selecting member to the
bench to fill a vacancy caused by the
resignation of Chief Justice Rowell
and other possible advancement of the
members of the bench, thus leaving a
vacancy in the last position. The
evidence, too, is backed up by much
opinion of similar sort throughout the
entire state, although Mr.. Redmond is
recognized as an able man, as far as
mentality and knowledge of the law
are concerned. Times.

Senatorial Gossip.

The question of who will be Senator
William P. Dillingham's successor
! leads the ST. Adams Messenger to
comment on the fact that Vermont's
next senator will have to be elected by
the people, the power of election by
the legislature having been taken away
by an amendment to the federal con-
stitution. By some it is thought that
this would weaken the senator's chance
of succeeding himself in case he were
opposed. This would be true if Mr..
Dillingham; has lost his touch with the
people. On the other hand, if his
course in congress has been such as to
appeal to the popular fancy, he will
not suffer from the change in the cleo
ton law.
Something has been said as to who
Senator Dillingham; opponents might
be. There is a feeling of expectancy
in some quarters that Gov. Fletcher
will not be adverse to serving the state
at the national capitol. The governor
has not announced himself as candi-
date, nor is it known that he has an
nounced that he would not be in the
field The impression is that he has
been testing the ice and is now playing
a waiting game ready to take advan-
tage of circumstances if they appear to
be shaping themselves in his favor 1t
is thought that the candidacy Of one
man, with whom the governor had to
contend in former campaign for nom.
nation, would have the effect of driv-
ing him into the open. but that man
has not signified any intention of en-.
tering the. lists.
The name of Charles A Prouty, at
present a member of the interstate
commerce commission, has been promi-
, nently mentioned as possible candi.
date against Senator Dillingham;. 1t
is certain that Mr.. Prouty would have
no mean support were he to run
against any man in the state, irrespec-
tive of who or what he was. MIR.

men of the country He has been do.
ing things in big way for many

CRAVENS
GETS HOTEL
CARLETON

Attorney Lincoln V. Cravens today
bid in the Carleton hotel furnishings
and equipment in a bankruptcy sale
which was conducted by David T. EN-
cry for the Lake County Savings and
Trust company receiver The ap-
praiser's valuation of the property
was $2,539, and Mr. Cravens' bid was
$2.549.
Mr.. Cravens' interest in the receiver
shi parose out of the fact that he is
one of the incorporators of the CarIe-
ton Hotel company and that he had
gone surety to secure some indebt-
edness which the corporation incurred.
Ii was to protect his own credit that
he bought in the property and unless
he can dispose of it he will secure a
manager for the place and conduct it
an investment.
Although there was a disagreement
between Mrs. Agnes O'Connell and Mr..
and Mrs. Tegge, three of the stock
holders in the corporation regarding
the mana cement of the place, which
brought about a receivership, it is I'M
derstood that it is paying PROPOSE
ton. Only three bids were offered to-
day, two by out-of-town parties and
the third by Mr.. Cravens
