EOas and Republicans.
- Nou pas1forJ Ss,pdarA


Various newspaper writer's, mostly
haiiing from Boston and vicinity. are
telling such readers as are sufficiently
interested to note what they write that
Gov. Foss as the head Of the Republican
State ticket this year is now thought
possible. Who thinks 1t possible IL not
very definitely stated, and is. perhaps,
not very important For ourselves. We
fail to see why any Republican should
help the gentleman to either a nomina-
ton or an election, or any party consider
alton. Personally, no doubt, Mr.. Foss
appeals to some Republicans. Such as
these have voted for him while he has
been protesting to be q Democrat. 1t is
perhaps kind to them to say that they
are superior to party bonds. Whether
there are enough of them to secure him
no-'ination or an election Is another
story. 1t is very sure that there are
plenty of Republicans who will help him
to neither.

From the New York Sun.
1t looks as though 1913 will 90 on rec

The dispatch from Philadelphia read:
About 5000 members Of the cloak and

strikers themselves do not seem certain
Of what they are striking for. but are
simply obeying New York leaders OF the

OF a surprise to them as to their en-

Crocodile in . Tree.

From the London Graphic.
An African hunter once found large
crocodile hanging in the fork Of tree
about ten feet from the ground. As the
place was fully half a mile from any
water, 1t was difficult to account for the
crocodile's strange position When ques-
toned upon the subject the natives ex-
planned that 1t was put there by an ele-

JAMES THORPE"
And the League Is Dead.
1t seems a little thing enough that
this great Carlisle star did. In the
summer of 1909 and 1910 he played
baseball for money with the Rocky
Mount team of the Eastern Carolina
association, as well as the Fayetteville
team of the same league-a league
that stands for all the professional ball
player means when he refers scorn-
fully to the bushes Today this
league, probably never very hale and
hearty in its most prosperous days,
is defunct, but it lived long enough to
furnish a means for the destruction
of the career as an amateur of the
greatest athlete of all times.
All the material honors that Thorpe
gained in the olympic games of 1912
been stripped from the Indian holder
and they will be returned to the
donors. None of his marvellous rec
ords will stand. They will be wiped
ed, although it is rather doubtful if
this summary method will remove
them from the memory of the people
who follow athletic events.
The destruction of these records
will work revolution in the athletic
world. Martin Sheridan will regain
his old all around American record;
Sweden will move up in athletic
profit all because one pure blooded
American played a little baseball a
few years ago.
Clancy the Tale Carrier.
One Clancy, manager of the Rocky
Mount team of the Bush league afore-
said, was the author of Thorpe's anna
teur downfall. A Pawtucket reporter
interviewing this man Clancy saw a
picture of the Rocky Mount club and
recognized Thorpe in the group.
ton, but the truth was out and on
top of the story as published came
hundreds of letters to the Amateur
athletic union from persons who sud
denly remembered having known
Thorpe well as a ball player.
In fact, it develops that down south
where Thorpe played and among his
friends and associates there was no
secret of the fact that he played base
ball for money: they did not know
that there was any particular harm in
it. During the Olympic games South
ern papers printed stories and pic
lures of the great Indian lauding his
proves and constantly referring to his
baseball connections in the Carolinas,
and no hint of this reached the ears
of the amateur authorities. An inves-
tigation was proposed but before it
could he held, Thorpe himself comes
forward with his confession. No such
turmoil has been created in the ath-
letic world since the time Arthur
Duffy, the great sprinter, was official
1y expunged from the records
A statement from the Amateur
Athletic Union of the United States
states that it never had the least sus-
pieion of the fact that there had been
an act of alleged professionalism on
Thorpe'S part.

The home of John Lesser and fam
lily of Shorey was destroyed by fire
about o'clock this morning. The
house and contents are estimated to
be worth at least So, 500 and the in
surance was $1,000.
The fire is supposed to have been
caused by defective chimney. The
children of the family were awakened
by smoke in their room and called
their parents. The neighbors got up
and assisted the family, but were un-
able to prevent the house from total
destruction. The piano and a part of
the household goods were saved.
The chemical company at No. 1
fire station answered the alarm and
the members of the company were
successful in preventing the fire from
spreading to other buildings. An old
summer kitchen which was located
near the house was saved.
Joe M. Pollom, one of the promf-
nent farmers of Shawnee county, is
completing the work on gigantic
barn on his farm, one mile north of

dividual waterpCwer plant and other
equipment of this character will be
installed.
The horse department also will be
equipped with modern improvements
Mr.. Pollom will install a pumping
station at point about sixty rods
