CHAPTER XVIII.
Rack With NV Friends.


Presently we came to house sit
uated some distance back from the
railroad. A woman with about fifteen
Youngsters came running out to meet
the little girl, who had called to them.
When the youngsters saw me they let
out yell and scattered like so many
partridges. However, before 1 went
on my way they got so they approach
ed me timidly, and one or two of them
even reached out and touched me
with their little hands.
Frienie Gerard, for that was the
little French girls name, told me the
train bound for Megantic was very
nearly due. and l knew If l tagged
that train would save myself whole
lot. Thanking her 1 once again start
ed up the track. The sun had come
out and the weather was beautiful
Presently 1 turned the bend and
came upon a freight engine putting on
a siding. AS 1 drew up closer the en-
gineer dropped down from the cab and
came running up to me. You're Mr..
Knowles. aren't you?" he asked, COM
ing forward with outstretched hand.
/ told him that l was.
"All of Megantic is waiting for you"
he continued. Your friends are there,
together with the game wardens Of
Maine and Canada, and they have
planned a big welcome for you"
In a moment the rest of the train
crew had come running up, and for
few minutes 1 held reception in the
middle of the track. Just as the little
French girl had done, they told me
that a passenger would be along any
time now and said they would flag it.

with the Yankees, we learn; and say
they have tried every way to get

Our scouts are daily picking off the
stragglers Of the enemy; and this too
right in the shadow Of their camp. We
are told this moment that yesterday
our picquets killed two and captured
two, while only one escaped, near Mel

alongside the tracks just south Of the
railroad station. Spontaneous COM
bustion is supposed to have caused the
fire. The warehouse is Of brick with a
metal roof and the flames were closely
confined. The local fire department was
given an opportunity to test the efti-
cheney of the chemical engines pur-
chased about a year ago and with such
good effect that the fire was under con-
troll in a very short while. The loss to
the owner was mainly in the damage
to the roof, as the warehouse was prac-

Fort Mill Times, Sept. 10: At an
enthusiastic meeting of the Pleasant
Valley Farmers club on Monday after
noon, it was decided that the members
Of the club sell no cotton seed for 80
days, and it is probable that at the
next meeting the time will be extended
to go days. 1t was decided to give 4Oc
per hundred for cotton picking unless
the price of cotton advances to 10
cents per pound. The members Of the
club will also hold their cotton just
as long as possible, and they were al
most unanimously in favor Of a law
limiting the cotton acreage for next
year. They were also heartily in favor
of the "Buy-a-bale" movement which
has been begun in a great number OF
towns and cities in the south. .......
It is understood that the final service
of the summer at Confederate park
will be held next Sunday evening at
las o'clock. The meetings at the
park during the last several months
have been largely attended and it Is
quite probable that the open-air
services will be held there again next
summer. .... There was great excite

SAVED THE BALL TEAM.

A committee Of the baseball enthu-
siasts Of the city were busily engaged
Tuesday and Wednesday In raising
the necessary funds to carry the Nd
lers along until the next pay day. At
a meeting Of the directors Of the base
ball association the other evening It
was decided to put the matter up to
the fans as to whether they wanted
the town to stay on the baseball map
or not. Thursday Of this week was
pay day and the grand total in the
club treasury was just 25 cents. The
attendance has been very poor so fer
this season, but the directors stated
that II the team could be carried TO
the next pay day they could pay Their
own way the balance Of the season,
for the attendance is always much
better after harvest.
A committee OF twenty men about
town had at the opening Of the seas
on each given their note for $40 to
raise the $4OO guarantee that the
team would finish the seasons sched-
ule and naturally meme of them de-
sired to lose this amount. It was
finally decided that $500 would Once
more put the team IN the clear, and
short season tickets, good for fifteen
Of the next twenty-five games, were
offered for sale at IS each and a SUI
ficient number disposed Of to raise
the desired amount, so Great Bend is
to be on the baseball map for anoth-
er thirty days, anyway.
There are a number Of business men
and other citizens Of the town who
believe that a league baseball team
Is too costly a luxury for a town Of
this size, but the majority seem to
be Of the opinion that the team i
enough Of an advertisement for the
town and should be maintained. The
attendance has not been anytime
like as large as It should have teen
and it is to be hoped that the pat
rons will be more liberal IN their sup

BARTON COUNTY MEN LAND.
Sam Hill and C. C. Jackson Land APP
polntments as Deputy MarshaIs

With the announcement last week
that o. T. Wood, Of Liberal, kansas,
had been appointed as U. S. Marshal
for the district Of Kansas, came also
the news that two Barton county men
had also landed positions under Mr..
Wood. Sam P. HILL of Pawnee Rock,
has been appointed as deputy mar
shall for the Wichita district, and
c. C. jackson, who has been agent
for the Wells Fargo Express Co. in
this city for the past four years, mas
been appointed as chief deputy for
Mr.. Wood and will have his office
with him in Topeka. The position
Of the latter will be more in the ia
ture of a private secretary, as his
duties will be entirely clerical, AID
he will need to do core Of the out
side work. The position pays $4,000
a year. Mr.. Hill has been an active
candidate for his appointment and it
has been pretty generally conceded
that he wouIdland as a deputy proVid.
ed Wood secured his place. The ep-
pointment Of lMr. Wood has been a
most popular one, as he is wsll and
favorably known throughout the state
and the appointment Of Messrs Jack
son and HIN as his two head assist
ants will be pleasing news to their
many friends throughout this sec
tfon. Mr.. jackson has already taken
up his duties in Topeka and Sam Hill
friends can now caN ON him at the
federal building in Wichita.

county will have a candidate for rom.
ination on the state ticket this year
at the August primaries in the per-
sen Of George McGill, county alter
ney Of Sedgwick county, who is seek
ing the Democratic nomination for
the office Of Attorney General. Mr..

product, and after completing his ed
ucation in the schools of this county
and in the old Central Normel Col

Later he removed to Wichita where
he opened a law office and for four
years served as deputy county sttor-
ney, and is now serving his Second
term as county attorney Of SedgwicF
county, being reelected in the fell
Of 1912 with majority Of over 1900

5000 Republican. He is one Of the
brilliant young lawyers of the state
and is amply qualified in every way
to perform the manifold and arduous
duties Of the office which he seeks
and as he is an old Barton county
boy his many friends here should raj
ly to his support and see that he re-
ceives ths unanimous vote Of the

FOR COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT.

The announcement Of Miss Matte
Fruit, Of this city, as a candidate for
the Democratic nomination for Coun-
ty Superintendent is one which is
meeting with a great deal Of favor
all over the county, and from men
and women of all political faiths
alike. Miss Fruits one of the oldest
teachers, in point Of continuous Ser
vice, in Barton county and is one of
its most successful instructors. Her
long experience in both the rural
and city schools has placed her in a
position to really understand their
needs and week points, and there is
probably not another person in the
county better qualified to bring them
up to and maintain them at the vert
highest standard Of efficiency. In
addition to her thorough knowledge
Of all branches Of school work, she
is a woman Of broad judgment and
excellent business ability, and her
nomination and election would be
a credit to the county, and wculd be
to the best interests Of the schools
Of the county.

/. W. W. AT WORK.
But Their Work Was only Trying 70
Organize A Strike.

NJ. K. Fox and Geo. A. Carey, two
members Of the |. W. w. from De-
troit, Mich, were in the city a coupe
Of days last week trying 10 organize
the harvest hands into club which
would demand 81 per day for s hours
for work in the harvest fields.
l. W. W. is an abbreviation of the
society Of the Industrial Workers Of
the World, but it has been more cor
rectly named the Il Won't Work"
society. No other labor organization
In the country will affiliate with the
society, and its members are really
outcasts among the laboring class.
They are simply "fornanst" everything
on earth, and they are especially an
tagonistic against the man who he's
property. They believe that the
world owes them a living but they
do no believe that they should work
for the salne unless the conditions
are exactly to their liking. They be-
lieve that what's theirs Is their own,
but what the other fellow has should
be divided, and their general deport-
ment and conversation is along these
b1es Their meetings here were pro-
ductive Of but little good for their
cause. The large per cent of the men
who are here to work in the harvest
are looking for jobs and not situation
They realize that a harvest wage Of
SO per day Is all that the farmer can
afford to pay, and they do not ask
that am eight hour a day provision be
tackled onto the agreement, either. A
better lot of men than the ones who
are here for the harvest this year
would be hard to find, and there is
no question but what the most Of
them viii make good hands. They
have come here from practically ev-
cry state in the union, and they have
come here to find wonk end not PEN
sions, and they resented the action of
the l. w. W. men fully as much as
did the farmers.
The city has been doing q good worf
I'm helping to take care Of the men
until the harvest started. They have
been giving them meal t1chts and IN
return have been having the men put
in few hours at work on the city
streets. But few have refused TO as
sist ll some way for their meals and
these have been invited to provide
for themselves or leave the city. The
attitude of a number Of the men was
shown by three young fellows Mon
day. They had hit town broke the
night before and had secured free
meal tickets fer their breakfast. Lat
er in the day one Of them secured
a little work and got hoh Of soma
cash, and all secured jobs for the
harvest, but before they left for the
Country they hunted up Mayor Daw-
son and rendered him seventy five
cents for the three meals the city
had furnished them. Men like that
are bound to make good hands, and
the majority of those here this year
are of this same kind.
