Primary in Alabama.

From the Tribune, publish
ed daily at Tampa, Fla:
There were so many aspir-
ants for appointment as post
master at Lafayette, Ala, that
Congressman Hehin of that dis
trict frankly declined to make a
recommendation and asked that
a primary be held for the selec-
ton of the official, which was
duly pulled off on December g..
1.-The Congressman appointed
a committee to supervise the
election, and this committee pro-
vided rules and regulations and
assessed each candidate SIS for
expenses. The privilege of
candidacy was, of course, limit
ed, to Democrats. The primary
was open to patrons of the post
office, whether they held poll-tax
receipts or not. The election was
successfully held and the Con-
gresham relieved of a great
deal of embarrassment.
This was one way to escape
embarrassment. If the Demo-
Gratis have the slightest regard
for their own comfort, they will
not undo President Taft's order
putting all the fourth-class post
master under the protection of
the Civil Service Commission.
Filling post Offices, getting
Federal buildings, logrolling for
local river and habor appropria-
tions, and patronage compose
the bane of Congress. 1t takes
the time that members should
be giving to great public ques-
tions. In the end it is their own
undoing. Every appointment
within a members gift usually
means nine enemies and one in
crate. Golfers.

In Memory of Carr Bowling.

North Tazewell, Va, Jan. 81.
In the memory Of Carr Bow
ling, who was killed in the
mines at Ashland, w. Va,
January 4th, 1913.
Dearest Carr--thou hast let us,
Thy sweet voice no more will
hear,
Thy dear eyes are closed forever
Thy sweet smiles no more will
cheer.
Darling Carr did an angel
Watt you from this world,
To the star gemmed doors of
heaven
To dwell in bliss forever more?
Yes my boy, well ] know
Thy savior led thee by the hand
Babe thee loose all earthly
pleasures
And join a glorious band.
Sleep my precious boy, sleepl
Thy life's dream at last is DER
Thy fond spirit scars above us
Gone to seek the golden shore.

Dead yesterday" so sang the
poet.
Nay, it is not dead, is yesterday.

And heart-pain wakes anew
When most one would forget.
BY yonder way old shadows stand
And haunt us with reproachful
eyes, when we
Would take the path that leads,
dew-sweet,
Through summer dusk into the
meadow-land.
And when we hang the holly

And on our spirit falls a shadow
of the old days,
And we grow sick at heart and

poor imitation of the original
Wild Bill, who for a brief time,
terrorized the North West.
Near by is a cemetery, where
the graves of Wild Bill and
Calamity Jane another famous
character of those days, is point
ed out to visitors.
Buffalo Bill, another, and a
very different man, lived and
moved in this section and town,

older citizens. | met with several
people who had known these
famous characters. Buffalo Bill,

has retired from public life.
The first mining done in this
section was what is known as
placer mining. That is, gold was
washed out of the sand and dirt
from the beds of the creeks and
streams. This placer gold built
Deadwood. From a rude mining
camp it has grown up one of the
famous cities of the United
States, paved streets, electric
lights, fine hotels, churches and
schools, and a hospitable, intelli-
gent people as can be found.
The buffalo, wild Indians and
wilder men and women, like the
placer gold, are gone, but in
their stead is a splendid city,
throbbing with life and modern
civilization, located in one of the
most picturesque and remarkable
tracts of country in the world.

Too Many Churches.

"Overchurched" country
towns are legion in the Middle
West. 1t is a common thing for
a town with three or four hun
dred inhabitants to contain five
or six churches, none of which
is decently supported. For this
reason an experiment being
tried in Alma, Mo-, a village
with population of 319, is of
large interest. In Alma four
congregations Methodist, Pres
byterian, Baptist, and Christian
have united in nonsectarian
church, and have employed a
minister to preach the Gospel
with no sectarian bias. Persons
who join the church are allowed
their choice of procedures. Those
who believe in immersion may
be immersed, while others may
choose the form of ceremony
they prefer. Members of the
church are not required to give
up their allegiance to any other
church, and if they leave Alma
will be given letters of recon-
mendation" to the church they
prefer.
The most impressive fact
about the Alma experiment is
that is was launched in Deem
Der, 1912, and already five other
Missouri towns have the same
plan under consideration. Col

Brief History Of

Did you ever hear of Dead
wood Gulch? Of course you have.
Every school boy has read novels,
and every magazine reader has
read stories galore about Wild

many of whom were myths, and
stories greatly exaggerated.

this famous town, and to its sis
ter town Lead recently, and will
tell my readers about it briefly.
Mr.. John F. Shrader, a promi-

DeGdwood is in the noted
Black Hills, as miles west of
Rapid City. The town, of about
1000 population, is surrounded
entirely by high rough hills
which are heavily and thickly
covered with Pine trees. The
"Black Hills" are so named or

lance they look black, so dark is

Hoquiam this year.
Hoquiam played like demons after
they had been scored on, and kept
threatening Ballard's goal for the rest
of the game, finally scoring another
touchdown by hard plunging in the
third quarter ,and then kicked goal.
1t was a hard fought game, and after
Hoquiam had been scored on a little

MAC LAFFERTY
CASE DISMISSED
Grave Charge Against Geo.
MacLafferty Found to be
Without Foundation
WAS CASE OF BLACKMAIL
Grandfather Of Alleged Vic.
tim May be HeAis Answer
Charge sf Perjury

Prosecuting Attorney J. E. Stew.
art announced yesterday at Montesa-
no that the case Of the state against
George MacLafferty would be dis
missed on his motion, as he found
that the complaining witness would
not substantiate the allegations made
in the complaint. The case illus.
trates how easy it is for a perfectly
innocent person to get into trouble
on the uncorroborated statement of
an irresponsible complaining witness.
Mr.. MacLafferty was taken from
the bosom Of his family at midnight
by officers of the law, on a charge
of having wronged a young girl,
named Pearl Conn, about sixteen
years old. The complaint was made
by the girls grandfather, John Sieber,
who resides near the MacLafferty
home, in North Aberdeen. The com.
plant was lodged after an unsuccess
full attempt to extort money from Mr..
MacLafferty, and was unsupported by
the testimony of the girl, or anyone
else. yet it seems to have been re-
garded as sufficient to cause the mid.
night arrest Of highly respected
young man of family, who has grown
from childhood in Aberdeen without
blemish on his character.
The girl in the case. notwithstand-
ing her extreme age, bears an evil
reputation, and is doubtless to be
pitied, but for the grandfather, who
would barter the misfortune of his
granddaughter for few paltry dol.
lars, and who is shown to have sworn
to an untrue complaint, the strong
arm Of the law should be invoked.
Perjury is serious offense, and this
man Sieber certainly merits the ex.
tent Of the law II the charge can be
brought home to him, not alone to
punish him. but for the protection Of
others, who like Mr.. MacLafferty,
may have their kindness to an un-
fortunate girl in evil surroundings be
made to serve as q basis for black.
