NOT THE AMERICAN WAY

A writer in the New York

calls attention to the fact that
during the Civil War in this
country no woman was shot en-
either side, although there were
two women spies very prominent
on both sides--Beile Boyd, a

BOIL WEEVIL IN CHESTER

Those farmers of Chesterfield
county who are planning to plan,
the earth in cotton next spring
would do well to pause long
enough to heed a timely warn
ing.
The boil weevil is in Chester
only few miles away. 1t can,
and very likely will be here in
time to have some effect on the
next crop. The Advertiser is
not a calamity bowler. 1t does
not believe panics and STAN pedes
are necessary. 1t does not be-
lieve the presence of this pest in
Chesterfield necessarily spells
disaster to anybody. This coun-
ty can grow other things than
cotton and grow them profitably.
If the boil weevil does materia.
lize it will hurt those who have
planted all cotton far worse tha,
it does the wise ones who have
first raised an abundance of
home supplies.

We may have said it before
the editor of The Advertiser is
Sn optimist. Yes, indeed an op-
mist from Opville. And we have
reason to be. Look at the Ches-
terfield Fair that has proved
such a success as we said il
would. Looking over the country
at large what do you think o.
this? Exports from America to
foreign countries in September
1915 amounted to $500, O,G16, ,S22,
almost double the amount of ex.
ports for the month OF Septem.

GEORGE ". CLARK
 MEETS C0NDRAY

In addition to Judge P. H. Prince who has been meeting Representative C. E. Condray on the stump during the past week, former Prosecuting Attorney George w. Clark also spoke in opposition to MT. Condray's road law at the Greenbrier appointment Saturday. Neither Mr. Clark nor Judge Prince, however, will meet Mr. Condray this week, on account of the session of chancery court.
 Reports from the speaking last week are to the effect that record breaking crowds heard the addresses at each appointment and interest in the proposed road law is said to be rapidly gaining in favor, although there is strong opposition in practical ly every township.

PROF. UU.l. HAWKINS OFFERS IS REASONS OFFSETS Y BY PRINCE NlLONIA EDUCATOR SUBMITS ARGUMENT FAVORING
 ROAD LAW.
Editor Log Cabin Democrat:

Why you should vote for the adop ton of the new road law creating road district No. 1, on March 31, 1915.
 Vote for the law:
 l. Because other states have be- come wealthy under no better road laws than this one.
 Z. Because bonds can be issued cheaper now than when times are fourishing.
 3. Because the present road law is 9 failure.
 1. Because it will bring thousands of dollars into the community to be labored for and received by the poorer class of people.
 ,. Because it will enhance the val ue of all property in Faulkner county.
 6. Because there will be twenty or thirty years in which to lift the bonds.
 z. Because it will open the throughfares of the county, thereby giving new life to business.
 s. Because too much free labor is lost to the man who works miles from home on roads he never travels.
 3. Because under the present sys- tenn moneyed men, business men from other states will not move into our county, but will buy, build and do business in a more thrifty county. Complainer, do not say we do not need men with money in our county. We do!
 10. Because it places the county's road interests Cher money) in the hands of number of BUSINESS MEN who are to look after the men who are under bond to handle county funds according to contract and ac- cording to law.
 II. Because it places the responsi- bility of one man (the County Judge) in the hands of fourteen.
 12. Because in council of nine business men, who know that pros- perity to the farmer means prosperi- ty to their interests, there is more wisdom than can possibly be expected of one man.
 13. Because taxation without rep resentation" is a fraud We have to represent the $160,000 the county has paid during the last six teen years.
 IA. Because it brings town and county nearer each other; neighbors closer together. Then there is union and strength.
 15. Because Conway and the rail road will pay 40 per cent of the taxes.
 16 Because the board of commits sioners have agreed to tell us where the improvements will be made and what kind.
 IT. Because every body in Faulk- ner needs good roads.
 IS. Because the $5,000 appropri- ated by the legislature for free survey will soon be utilized by other coun- ties.
 Mir. Editor, I must say: It will lift us on the sunny side of
 life,
 Far removed from "hell" What blessings to Faulkner will be Only God and the future can tell. Vote for the bill, my brother; Get on the sunny side; Look like prince" most regal, Courting a royal bride. Don't get grouchy, neighbor; Smile and the sun will shine; Drive on the good road, sir, Or you are far behind. It's always the business man that
 pushes
 While the sluggard and complainers
 holding back; It's the mud-dauber working in the
 mud
 While the white mans on the track.

(By the Committee.)

The committee wishes to give this
warning to the people so that there
will be no misunderstanding.
BY the terms of the contract the
committee is given one thousand sea-
son tickets which it is allowed to sell
at the advance price Of 81. The sale
has been so large that already the
supply is very short. In fact If all
those who subscribed take their tic
kets the number of tickets on hand
will not meet the demand. Last year
there were large number that wait
ed in spite of the warning from the
committee and were forced to pay
$3.50 to the cashier at the tent for
their tickets. Some thought that they
were not sufficiently warned and
were very angry. So the committee
is very anxious that all should know
that the sale of tickets in any event
stops Thursday at noon and that the
supply is SO near exhausted that Il
tickets are wanted they will have &c

Score Of 5 to 3

Mt. Vernon won from the Korn
Hatters of Columbus at the Athletic
park Sunday afternoon in fairly in
teresting game, which resulted in a
score of 5 to 3. All of the Hatters'
tallies were made in one inning, when
their batsment got to Bowden for sew
eral hits. Coupled with loose playing,
these welded three runs.
The locals threw the Hatters into
panicky state by a succession Of we'll
placed bunts at one stage of the
game and, before Columbus frightened,
two runs had been scored by this
method. Another run was added in
the following inning, while well-placed
hits tailed two more later.
Sher was in the box for Columbus
and labored under the disadvantage
of sore arm, he having pitched no
hit game in Columbus the day before.
He was touched up rather freely by
the locals. Bowden started the game
for Mt. Vernon, but was relieved later

in excellent shape.

PREPARE
To Make More Coins Do The
u. 5. MintS

To provide ingots for making 1-cent
and scent pieces, which are being
coined in larger quantities every year,
new casting machine that turns out
ingots weighing more than five times
as much as those heretofore used, has
been placed in service in the United
States mint at Philadelphia. In con-
nection with this machine larger rolls
for forming the plates from which the
coin BLANKS" are cut are also being
used, the whole purpose of the i'm
proved equipment being to turn out
more coins in day.
How important this is, is shown in
the fact that each year there is now
demand for approximately 100000
900 1.cent pieces and 60,000,00O scent
pieces, or "nickels."
The new iugot casting machine con-
sists of turntable mounted on ball
bearings, on which are eleven vertical
molds, ranged equidistant on circle
five feet in diameter.
Each mold is made up of fiat plate
fixed vertically to the turntable when
placed together, forming mold
which casts an ingot of the coin metal
| that weighs about twenty-five pounds
and is twenty-four inches long, four
and one-quarter inches wide and
three-quarters inch thick.

It Is alleged that Diamond furni5i'
ed his wife with this bottle of sup.
posed medicine and that he did this
with full knowledge Of It's contents.
The case rests on this bottle and rs
contents more than anything else.
The man who made the AFFIDAVIT for
the arrest Of Diamond on the frs
charge cited above. namely: violation
of the Harrison law forbidding the
sale of narcotics, was a professional
detective from Chicago by the name
Of Thomas +. Dillon.
After being cleared of this charge.
Diamond went to the court Of Squire
John W. Perkins Saturday afternoon
and there made affidavit, charging
Detective Dillon with perjury. 1t &c
alleged that Dillon remarked that he
could produce two witnesses who
would testify that they had purchas-
ed drugs from Diamond. As the case
against Diamond was dismissed and
Dillon did not produce the witnesses,
Diamond felt justified in causing his
arrest on the grounds of perjury.
The warrant for Dillon's arrest was
placed in the hands of Deputy Sheriff
Mossholder. Dillon was arrested and
placed under $50 bond by Squire
John w. Perkins. The bond was
signed by Mr.. Michael CARRIER. Dill
Ions hearing was set for Thursday

who came here number OF months
ago as clairvoyant and swami, and
later settled in this city, marrying
Mrs. Leone Davis.

be arrested on three separate charg-
es, two of which were dropped, is an
experience narrowing and exciting
enough for anyone. mo sooner out

of these accusations, successfully
staving off two and preparing to meet
the third and most serious on next

ministering was done on the eleventh

Gus times since then.
A warrant was issued from Squire
Harter's court for the arrest OF Dia
mond and placed in the hands of Dep
uty Sheriff Walter B. Mossholder.
The latter proceeded to the "jungles,'
but could find no trace OF Diamond
there. In the meantime, Sheriff John

down to Riverside park to picnic.
On nearing the park, the sherlf
saw Diamond standing near the Wes
High street bridge. Instructing hi
wife to get out quickly, Sheriff WOOL
son speedily drove up to Diamond ant

Diamond was arraigned befor
Squire Harter at o'clock. He plead
