Henry C. West. candidate for the leg islature. said: T am unalterahly opposed to the lease system. In the first place, no man convicted of crime should be subjected to unusual or cruel punishment. In the second place, the abolition of the lease system will put the coal operator on an equal basis with his rivals in regard to labor. In the third place, good roads are necessary, At the present time, il costs a farmer more to deliver d bale of cotton from his farm to the market than it costs him to ship that bale to Liverpool The system must be abol- iShed ''

Byplays Inconseauential

Both men, following the exchange of modern pieasantrles. expressed apol- ogies for their unseemly conduct. In the statement of neither is there ma- terial worthy of special thought. As to the caus, of the difficulty, there is considerable speculation. It is said that MT Johnston had written something to which Mir. Painter took offense. This matter. however, was not discussed by the principals for activities immediately followed the meeting. It was apparent from the beginning that the one has no love for .he other. As to whether or not the skeleton il. the closet-by which
 is mean that mysterious thing which caused the difficulty-will walk, is un- known. Both sidea are apparently will ing 70 tell it all.
 It is alleged that Mir. Painter struck MT Crawford and Mir. Crawford struck Mr Painter. It is also said that fol- lowing ,he blow which MT. Johnston delivered to the eye of MT. Painter, MT. Painter rstreated. These trifling details, however, arc of httle consequence. The value ir the incident is the incident itself It served .o give little unex- pected interest to a situation which had grown tame because of the certainty of Underwood's victory.

Thinks Gafford Can Do It

'The idea of paving streets ourselves, however, may develop into complete change in affairs. don't think there is doubt but what Frank Gafford can take the city convicts and put down any kind of paving in the world-bricls asphalt, bithulthic or anything else. We are now feeding thoAe convicts, cloth ing them and working them at a total cost of only 24 cents yer day and we give them clean s.iir whenever they need it. We clothe theia from their shoes to their hats and with that kind of labor think the street department would be ale to do some mighty cheap street paw iEss
 'I don't want to get into the contro- yorsy or discussion regarding state and county convlcts on the roads, but I'll say this much: If the county or state can work convicts, and incidentally I cont see why they can't. as cheap as we are working them, then I think they should be kept on the roads and very pro6taby so at that.
 "Of course this matter will be an ex- pertinent largely this summer. But think it's an experiment that has enor- nlcus chances of success and I feel very good over it

Unusual Wearing Qualities

Right behind this vacuum cleaner ap- pafatus then comes machine which roGrs the hot tar preparation over the surface. if running dt.vvn and filling up all ereviees and corners and making q which, when hard. is said to have won derful wearing qualities. The cost Of the raw pavement is about 10 or % cents Il square yard. but when the grading and preparation of the street before it's appl- cation is taken into account. the total cost of such pavement Mr. Weatherly thinks. will average around 10 or 30 cents per square yard.
 This Is very cheap compared with the hlgh class pavements. such as brick. as- rhalt and bithuithic, being about one- third or fourth of the cost Of those paNements.
 If such a pavement comes up to our expectations said Mir. Weatherly, "the city will no doubt soon be using lots of it, for 1t seems to answer the purpose. 1t will settle the dust for eyer and ave. it is not too costly to be used in any of the suburbs, il will be patronizing a home industry, with the street depart nent laying it 1t can be done at a still lower cost, probably, and 1t will inn prove the street.
 '1 am going to offer a resolution be. fore this board before long providing fer the pavement of Third avenue to the ball park with this kind of q pave ment this spring and Frank Gafford can try his hand on it. Another place we think of trying it is in North Birming- ham, Thirty-second avenue from Twen- ty-siXth to Twenty streets and on Thirty-frst avenus from Twenty fourth to Twenty streets
 Tn regard to the higher class of pav- ilsg. we plan to do little of it this sum mer except on the initiative of the prop erty owners Of course, where the prop erty owners bring to us petition signed by a good majority of the residents os q street We will pave 1t for them with anything they want, but We will urge little if any paving of the higher ella ss and the costly because we feel that the citizens are so burdened with taxes right now that they generally do not want any street paving assessments.

Fight by Rounds

Mr. Johnston, who is state campaign manager for Oscar W. Underwood, ae- companied by E. B. Crawford, assist ant cashier of the American Trust and Savings bank, was en route to county headquarters after having interviewed clerks in state headquarters. As he passed Through .he door of the Title Guarantee building he was accosted by Mir. Painter. MT. Johnston replied that he was unaware of any theory on
 which Mir. Painter could desire to speak
 with him. MT. Painter replied that
 he would make MT. Johnston speak
 with hiniL-whereupon the fight was on.
 The first blows went wild and then
 Johnston landed to the mouth. Mr. Crawford held Mr Painter and II. A.
 Moselev checked NIT. Johnston. Offi- cers arrived. Bonds were mentioned. entered the Motion Realty company s office. He asked someone to telephone Frank A. Hewitt, county manager for Mir. Underwood, that he would soon ar rive at county headquarters Someone made a facetious remark and there was laughter. And then the second blow was struck. IL was delivered by Mir Paint CT It was full to the side of the face. But it dic not stun the man who re ceived it. Instead, he turned rapidly on his heel and shot out his fist. He landed. The blow, terribly wicked uppercut, was to the left eye. It left the optic blue.

 The net result Of the difficulty was a black eye and some loss of blood on the part of Mr. Painter.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2-The
Panama Canal is beginning to pro-
duce revenue though, not yet enough
to meet the calculations of the
financial expert because of the inter-
ruption of traffic by the European
war. During August the revenues
were s91 1854, the greater part of
which was received after August Is,
the date the canal was officially
opened. East bound traffic slightly
exceeded the west bound by about
$500 in tolls.

be done to bring the channel to its
proper proportions. In August the
dredges took out 1,174,695 cvubie

THROAT TROUBLE
PREVENTSCOMING
Postmaster General Burleson
Compelled to Disappoint
Many Friends Here.
MEETING IN DAVENPORT
Postmasters and Carriers Of Tri-Cities
Had Arranged to See Head
Of Department

There was widespread disappoint-
ment, not only in Davenport, but in the
three cities last night, when II was
learned that Postmaster General A s.
Burleson was unable to fill his engage
ment at the Grand opera house at Dav-
export, where he was billed TO speak
under ire auspices OF the democratic
county organization. The develop
ment of throat trouble compelled the
postmaster general to change his
plans.
None, however. was more disap-
pointed than the postmasters OF the
three cities, who determined their
chief should not pass through without
some attention from them officially.
The postmaster general was expected
TO arrive in the evening from the south
on the Burlington, so with the consent
OF the Davenport committee on ar
engagements and the cooperation OF
II. w. Crawford. the division agent of
the Burlington system, arrangements
had been made by the postmasters 70
communicate by wire with the cabinet
minister. and have him leave the train
at Moline and join the postmasters,
who were TO take him on hurried Wis
It to each OF the three postofhces.
where the employees in each instance
were eager to receive and greet him,
before the time of his meeting in Dav-
export.
Carriers Disappointed.
4 joint committee of the carriers OF
the three cities also had an appoint
ment for an interview with the post
master general. which. too. OF course.
had to be cancelled.
a large audience had gathered al
the Grand opera house in Davenport
to hear Mr.. Burleson. Congressman.

democratic congressional candidate.
occupied the attention in the absence
OF the postmaster general.
