Singing Convention a Success.

The spring meeting of the Carroll County Singers Union held at Mabrey last Sunday was record breaker in point of both attendance and number of classes represented.
 There were ten classes contending for the banner as follows: Black Oak, led by J. M. Dunlap; Denver, led by Frank Beck; Parker led by W. L.. Brawley; Mabrey, led by Aut Hulsey; Pleasant Ridge, led by J. M. Dunlap; Farewell, led by Willie Wills; Head, led by Wilson Exix; Independence, led by Abe Jones; Mulberry, led by Ebert Maxwell; and Highland, led by Ivy Dooling.
 After some deliberation, the judges, w. R. Phillips, c. I. Forsyth and Ed Collier, awarded the banner to the Mabrey class
 The annual election of officers re- suited in the choice of Frank Beck for president, J. M. Dunlap, vice president, and Aut Hulsey, secretary.
 It was voted to hold the fall meeting, which takes place on the third Sunday in September, at the same place.
 It is estimated that there were 1500 people in attendance, the meeting being held under the shade trees in the church yard.

The rooster is handsome bird, an advertiser on my word; he's husband of the hen, he wakes her with his morning crow and out to work she'll meekly go; he's like so many men. The humble hen works hard all day, her brood to hatch or eggs to lay, while MT. Rooster loafs, his wife does all the hard work, his business is to crow and shirk, just like the human loafs. He struts and dresses like dude, his wife wears ginghams and her brood depends on her for grub; her labor pays for all they eat, while "He" loafs up and down the street, just like human dub. There is no moral to this tale, it may sound flat and dull and stale, so take it as you please; but do not try to go through life rooster to your hen like wife who slaves to give you ease.

w. P. Edgmon, who resides near Swain, while out fishing last week on Big Buffalo found large bear trap. The trap weighs about 15 pounds and had in it's jaws when discovered some kind of an animals foot bones with the claws still attached, which re- sembles bears claws. The trap has two large drag hooks and chain eight feet long with log chain links, but made on the chain style. Old citizens who have resided in that vicinity for more than fifty years say they never saw or heard of such a trap being in the country and it is supposed to have been where located for many years. This (Newton) county has sometimes been called Varmint county and such finding as the trap has probably caused people to be mislead but the trap was not owned by any citizen of this county and it is evident that it was brought by some large lanimal from some adjoining county oH Missouri. = Newton County Times.

WILSON and THE
FATAL WARRENITE CONTRACTS

The charge against Mayor Wilson with respect to
Warrenite pavement is this
That he lobbied in the General Assembly for bill
that would give him power street pavements and
take the power from the Permanent Paving Commission
That he wanted this power that he might contract
with the Warrente concern to lay pavement sold by
them, a monopoly
That throwing down the usual forms adopted by cities
prevent graft and protect the Taxpayers
tract for Warrente, without bids and without competi
ton.
That the pavement so laid is not as good pavement
as be constructed for IS cents per yard although the
city must pay ST.. 20 per yard.
That all forms of bitrminous concrete were barred
from competition and monopoly contract for War
renite
That while he caused Warrenite to be laid that
portion of Fairfield which the taxpayers must keep
paved he excused the Connecticut company laying
the same pavement the part of Fairfield avenue which
they are by law obliged to pave.
It is not charged that there graft corruption
in the sense that it is known that anything done
which is subject to criminal Indictment Mayor Wilson
himself is the only who has raised this question
Tt is simply claimed that Warrenite been
great additional expense to the Taxpayers that the
of laying it, and of making the contract it,
most suspicious, and requires explanation Will Mayor
Wilson explain?

WHISKEY is
TO BLAME FOR
LUCAS MURDER

Il would be glad to punish whfskey
If could. Tt seems to be responsible
for so many crimes said Judge Reed
in the criminal superior court isF
morning when he was sentencing
Christopher Reilly, charged with kill
ing Henry Lucas. Reilly had pleaded
that he was under the influence of Ii
QuOr when he hit Lucas on the head
with a club, and the court remarked
the number of crimes caused by
drink. He said the punishment fell
upon the innocent, because the faIni-
lies of the prisoners suffered most 'If
you are innocent, as you claim de-
clared Judge Reed, ''you are a most
unfortunate man. The court then
sentenced Reilly to states prison for
not more than seven and not less than
three years. He had been found guilty
of manslaughter.
Reilly and Lucas were members Of a
gang that was laying Warrenite in
Westport. On August Reilly returned
to the camp Intoxicated and after a
dispute with Lucas claimed that the
latter treatened him with razor
Reilly repeatedly struck Lucas over
the head with a, club and Lucas died
shortly afterward.

SUIT TO BRING
SULZER CASE TO
SUPREME COURT

New York, Oct. 30-A suit looking
to bring the impeachment of William
Sulzer before the supreme court of
the United States was started, today,
in the United States district court
here, by Injunction proceedings insti-
tuted by William Fl. Moore, an en-
ploye of the New York World.
The complainant sets forth that
the constitution of the United States
is being violated in that the govera-
ment of this state, Governor Sulzer
having been removed, is now under
the supervision and administration of
a governor selected by the citizens Of
the state This, he contends, denies
citizens a republican form of govern
nent as constitutional1y guaranteed.

HOW MUCH IS MIR. WARNER
GIVING THIS YEAR TO
MAYOR WILSON'S CAMPAIGN?

When the discussion of what
Warner wanted was through with
somebody mentioned money for
the campaign.
The coroner said, 'T have no
money"
Warner said, sT will give $S,-
900 to help. We can get $1,000
more from candidates or office
holders and we ought to get $1,-
900 in voluntary contributions
from outsiders. This Will make
5,OOO." Warner said that he
thought $4,000 would be enough
to run the campaign on--From
the Farmer of Oct. rs, 1911.

Mayor Wilson's campaign was

When the contributions were
reported under the Corrupt Prac-

Answer this question Mayor
WiIson-How much is Mr.. War
ner giving to your campaign
THIS year?
And IL you tell us how much he
is giving, what evidence will you
present to prove what you say is
true?
If Mr. Warner gave 1000 last
