Acting as a leader it is the
general rule for the lighting
company to get. together with
the manufacturers OF supplies
the dealers. and the contractors,
and plain united action.
Each helps the other to get
business. For Instance, when
the contractor wires house he
at once makes business for the
seller OF electricity and a GUS
toner for the seller Of apph-
ances.
In many cities the electrical
interests have got together on
cooperative newspaper cam
paigns.
The chief idea of these Is to
spread the desire for electricity
by showing how 1t can be
amde to save time or labor or
money.
As the uses and the users of
electricity increase there is more
business for all concerned. Be
sides evidencing a commendable
spirit, these cooperative electro
cal campaigns have been good
business getters.
Manufacturers and dealers
generally might study them with

Militant Suffragette 0rganiza.
ton Leaders Facing

Forclgn oorrespondeuce OF INC s.ar.

Foreign Correspondence Of The Star.
LONDON, April II, 1914.
The "Pankhursts must go"' promises to
be the rallying cry of a new suffragette
organization formed by leaders who be-
lieve woman's cause has suffered set
back by the practice of the leading mill
tant society. A significant feature of the
new movement is that it is fathered by
suffragists who were once strong sup
porters of militant tactics. but who. at
various times, have been forced to with
draw from the Women's Social and Po-
litical Union.
The simmer of discomfort, which now
promises to break into revolt, began last
year when Mr.. and Mrs. F. w. Pethick
Lawrence. on their return from Canada.
were informed that Mrs. Pankhurst no
longer desired their services on the ex-
ecutive committee Of the organization.
This intimation was carried to the Law
tFences before their boat reached the
dock. They were inclined at first. +tc
laugh at it as preposterous, but on land
ing they found that Mrs. Pankhurat had
made herself % powerful during theis
absence that It would be hopeless to light
her edict, SO out they went.
Results Did Not Materialize. J,

] their grievance, In the hope that the
autocratic regime of the Pankhursts
would advance the cause, which they held
above all else. This truce and the deter

societies not to criticise any tactics which
sought common end gave Mrs. Pank-
hurst and her daughter Christabel abun.
dant time in which to perfect their or
| ganization, before opposition was offered
to their autocratic sway. But the prom
ised results did not materialize. and now
the Women's Social and Political Union
| faces both opposition without and dis
| sension within.
While dismissing members of her per-
| sonal staff. Mrs. Pankhurst has also been
discharging privates in the ranks. One
| of these women, who was expelled from
| the Organization last week. declared that
she was dismissed on the most trivial pre-
| text possible, and that lately Mrs. Pank-
hurst had dismissed a number of the
| workers from the organization apparently
Evening star., 1914-04-26

through caprice. The dismissed member
asserted that the militants are dwindling
daily. until at the present moment there
are only 5000 active workers in the
Women's Social and Political Union
These women are subject to Mrs. Pank-
hurst's autocratic DEGREES and may be
called upon at any time to pe.Aorm mill
tant deeds. In spite of the dwindling
number of workers the finances of the
organization are said to be in an excel
lent state. This is due mainly to two
Scottish Spinster sisters, whose fortunes
were made in an Atlantic steamship
line. Their subscriptions to the funds of
the militant fighting forces are heavy
and unfailing.

Tried to Burn Poor
House; in JAIL

Beck Bates and Mary Morris,
inmates of the Polk county poor
house, were placed in Jail here
Monday night for attempting to
set fire to the poor house aud
also the residence of r. l.. Lyle
mbo conducts the county farm.
The effort was made TO burn the
houses Wednesday night OF last
week, and the family of Mr..
LYLE tried at the time to tele-
phone the officers here, but
from some cause or other the
telephone would not work.
Investigation at the j. P. trial
Monday afternoon showed that
Mary Morris was the one who
attempted to burn the buildings
and that Beck Bates was gone
from the poor house on the
night when the burning was
attempted, but further investl,
gaticn showed that Beck Bates
had induced the Morris woman
tc.make the attempt and had
tlien left to keep suspicion from
being centered on herself.
The,fireNas discovered before
\ had time to- do scarcely any
damage. The case was tried
before ESQ. Williamson.

The land he and the other
squatter disputed possession OF
was in the same neighbnrhood
where Travis Rogers moved to
and where his grandsons and
great grandchildren now live,
in the Poplar Grove, Rogers
school house settlement, two
miles north of Parksville.
When Galloway surveyed the
land lines on his way from the
basis line to locate land corners
of the 40-acre gold lots on Coker
Creek, his land crossing Hor-
toms creek showed that Travis
Rogers and Josiah Harrison had
built cabins and lived upon the
same 40.acre tract. So Rogers
sold hisrrights to Harrison and
his children, Ad and Ike, lived
and died there, but their chll-
dren sold it.
Rogers then moved to near
Ocoee river and entered land
his descendants now own some
of the land then entered as we'll

custom still prevailed 10 the
seventies and eighties, as | re-
member from experience.) A
grandson tells of a crowd of
boys and young men trying Mr..
Rogers with a Christmas trick.
One Christmas about dark the
crowd on mischief bent walked
to Mir. Rogers barn and pro-
ceeded TO carry off his wagon
bed to hide it, Rogers was at
the barn feeding his stock, heard
the boys coming, remained quiet
and in the darkness got into the
crowd as they were lifting the
bed from the wagon. He helped
carry the wagon bed, heard
their talk about bow funny it
was and what trouble he'd nave
TO find it. They all carried it
about mile away-so tar that
some of the boys got tired and
started to drop it, but Rogers
said:
Nov, hcys, let's carry it
back home"
They all knew his voice, and
furthermore knew that they
would have trouble if they did
not do as toId-so after q hearty
laugh all round at the trick that
turned, they turned too.
