Explains Attitude.

The manner in which we grow
wool in the west and the way we
shear and prepare it for market is
radically and basically wrong, and
now with wool on the free list, the
very life Of the industry in these
western states depends, in my iudg-
ment, on the immediate uprooting
of our whole present system and
the substitution Of those methods
which have proven so wonderful
success in Australia. Someone must
be brought TO the west who can ex-
plain this system in its every de-
tail, and, with no other object in
view than to do my share in bring
ing about a new order Of things in
western wool circles that will mean
our salvation in the world e wool
markets, I have engaged W. T.
Ritch for one year. His expenses
and salary will be met by T. w.
Boyer and myself, and at tho ex-
piratioD Of the year l hope to see
the advantage Of the Australian
system so firmly implanted in the
minds Of woolmen and government
officials that the Australian meth
DDS will be established in the imme-
date future. I am so convinced Of
the success Of that system that If
trial Of it can be brought about
next year in Utah and neighboring
states, Mr.. Boyer and / will feel
that our trouble and expense has
been well worth while.

Mr.. Ritch comes as the personal rep

growers association held at the Hotel

as one of the most important and wide

Mr. Cosgrifr mas virtually grown up
with the wool industry of the inter
mountain west and has devoted years
of deep thought and study to the prob.
lens that have confronted and vexed
western sheepmen. He has been promi-
nent in every important move toward
the betterment of the industry, and
when, in the course Of his study Of ex-
isting conditions here and abroad in
the wool business several months ago,
he became convinced that the Aus
tralian system solves the problem Of the
proper growing and marketing Of wool.
he determined to bring to this country
the best expert he could find whose
knowledge of the wool industry in gen.
eral and of the Australian system in
particular fitted him for the work Of
spending a year among western flock

BREEZY BUDGET FROM
LIVE LAKE CITY.
FUN, FACT, FADS AND FANCIES
FURBISHED UP FOR
OUR FOLK.

Lake City, February ia series
of forgeries and the forger brought
to Justice was the sad climax of a
sordid drama in real life yesterday
afternoon, when Nick Eaddy. alias
j M Williams, alias ] M Daniels, was
identified by Mr. ] C Bazen of Bos-
tick, and also by prominent mer-
chant of this place, as the party
who had mulctsd them through a
system of fraudulent checks issued
by Eaddy, drawn on The Farmers &
Merchants Bank of Johnsonville, a
branch of The Farmers & Merchants
Bank, of this place. The first in
timation of this shady work was
gained when, on the first instant,
checks and statements were return
ed by the bank; the fraudulent
signature was exposed and action
Immediately taken, and a Pinkerton
nan placed on the lookout. 1t
seems that the first check, amount
ing to $500, was issued about u
month ago; the second several days
later for $500, and the last, the
one through which Daniel came
to judgment" was presented to the
Farmers & Merchants Bank this af-
ternoon to be cashed. The amount
of this last check was $4,000. Mr.
Bond, assistant cashier. having
recognized the negro, cashed the
check merely as a ruse, and scarcely
had the negro left the building be-
fore he was being shadowed by one
of the clerks until a policeman ar
rived on the scene, Immediately
placing him under arrest and con-
fning him in the public tavern"
until today, when he will be trans
ferred to more comfortable quarters.
Further developments bring to light
the fact that this fellow had pulled
one over" on local live stock deal
er, having made a mortgage over
realty, in which he had TO claim or
right, thereby securing the purchase
price of certain stock. Nick Eaddy,
alias Daniels and Williams, is a
graduate of Allen University, Co.
lumbia, and a professor" in the
upper part of the county. He is
apparently we'll educated negro,
and certainly has made use of his
education, especially in the way of
penmanship; but this time, as it hap
pened, his clerkly skill was not quite
so brilliant as his ideas. Your cor
respondent would respectfully cite
this as an apt illustration with
reference to the Fortner bill. (How
about compulsory education?-Edi-
tor The Record.
Last Wednesday the board of
commissioners consummated the
final steps in the matter of the elec-
trio light plant, when the bids were
considered from several reputable
firms who had representatives here
for that purpose. Lake City may
be mighty small place on the map
of the Union, but it was surprising
