$1l2.5O A LOAD.

II hasn't been so very long
since a farmer was feeling pref
ly good when he could take a load
of wheat to town and get thirty
five or forty dollars for it. In
deed, il is well within the memory
of many Barton county people
when he had 10 be satisfied with
S25 for his load. But that is not
the way with things now. Last
Tuesday Henry Campbell took a
load of wheat to Heller and re-
ceived $ll2.5O. OF course he
might have hauled more if the
roads had been good, bat he says
that bad roads don't cut much ice
when a fellow can get that much
for his wheat. Henry sold 1900
bushels of wheat at Sl.50 per bu-
shel. Wednesday morning he and
his wife left via the Santa Fe for
a two weeks visit with relatives
in Oklahoma.

COUNTY ROADS

There are some 100 miles of
county roads in Barton county
at this lime which are supposed
TO be dragged after a bad spell of
weather. AT this time these roads
are reported in pretty bad shape
and comparatively few of them
have been touched by the dragS.
The parties who are supposed to
do this work have been named
by the county commissioners and
are to receive 81 per mile for do
ing the work. 1t is certainly a
matter of importance to every
body that this work be done.
These roads very largely connect
the towns of the county and there
is hardly anyone who will not be
in some measure benefited by
their being kept in order.

BUSY DAY AT THE
ZION CONFERENCE

Two very interesting addresses
from Prof. W. H. Campbell and w.
N. M. Bennett, excellent reports from
the pastors, led by Rev. A. Shinn,
the Christian Endeavor work ernpha-
sized by Aaron Brown, were the feat
ures of yesterdays session Of the
Zion conference, which is being held
at the corner of LaRua and Reus
streest. Campbell's address was
call to the church to save the boys
and girls, Bennett endorsing the sem
timent in a strong speech, while Rev.
Shinn was the only pastor to make a
round report for the whole confer
ence year which will not expire until
the last of October.
Aaron Brown, general secretary OF
Christian Endeavor of the Zion church
of America, was full of information
touching his work and created .
strong sentiment for greater activi-
ty in this branch of church work. He
has Just returned from st. Louis
where the National Zion Christian En-
deavor convention was held over
which he presided.
The opening sermon Of the confer
ence was preached by Rev. N. H.
Holloway, at II a. m. Yesterday, Rev
w. K. Kelingsworth delivered SER
mon, and last night Rev. G. M. Joshua
preached the educational sermon

AGAIN ENJO|N
SCHOOL BOARD
CITIZENS BRING ANOTHER PRO-
CEEDING, IN WHICH THEY
CLAIM TRANSACTION Is ILLE-
GAL.

Another injunction was brought
yesterday in the circuit court against
the members of the Board of Public
instruction, in which four citizens,
Morris Bear, r. M. Cary, Harry Kahn
and Walter White, seek to prevent
the board from erecting a grammar
school building on the site selected in
Maxent tract. William Fisher, as
president Of the Maxent Land Co.,
S. r. Fulghum & Co., and the Nation
al Bank of Commerce, are also in
cluded in the proceeding.
The petition recites that the entire
transaction is illegal because of the
fact that the board in borrowing
$4,000 With which to erect this build.
ing and meet other expenditures
evaded the law. It is alleged the
money was borrowed one day before
the new law, prohibiting such action
went into effect.
Mr.. Fisher has been paid the
$4,000 for the site by the school board
and the contractors instructed to pro
coed with the work.

Receiver is Possible
For Duval County.

Under big headlines the Jackson
vile Tines Union announces that
there is a possibility of the court
being asked to appoint receiver for
Duval county. It appears that the
board Of county commissioners Of
DuvaI have been so lavish in their
expenditures of the peoples money
that the treasury is empty, notwith-
standing the fact that the end of the
year is yet several months off, and
citizens have become so vexed at the
acknowledgement that they are antici-
pating going into the courts and re-
questing the appointment of receiv-
er. Says one Of them in the Times
Union:
s'The county's credit is gone. War
rants are hawked around town and
sold as a commodity, like Mexican
money. Valuations are raised and
the millage increased and yet the
debt grows. Now whose fault is it I?
Any sane business man who found
his private affairs managed as the
county's business is being carried on
would have discharged his employees
and procured competent men OF
closed up shop. We can't close the
shop. The place has a bad name. i
IS your fault and mine. We are too
much engrossed in our own business
We take no interest in the public
business.

ent board? If he does not, I am go

court and ask the courts TO appoin
three competent and honestsmen to b
receivers, with authority to manag'
the county's business until the cour
shall find that the citizens Of DIVA
county are capable of self-governmen
It does appear that Pensacola il
not the only mismanaged place il
Florida, but the fact that we hav'

ISOLATION for the lack Of business abil
ity displayed by the board of cit,

The Sanitation Of a
Summer Camp.

A summer camp is a device for
seeking health and pleasure without
modern conveniences. Campers are
persons who Of their own violation,
or drought the enticement Of others,
revert to primitive modes Of exis-
tence and ostensibly obtain enjoyment
therefrom. Both place and persons
then favor the development of irreg-
ularities, encourage more or less ir@
responsibility and lead to immediate
wildness. In this there is no harm
and often much good. However, one
thing should not be forgotten-the
arrangements. Allow the animals
to break loose once more for the sea-
sonal enjoyment, but by all means
have the camp sanitary SO that in
their wildness they win do no harm.
For, be it remembered that he who
selects suitable site, pitches his tent
or builds his hut in a proper manner,
examines his food, and protects him
self from his natural enemies, is q
wise camper indeed.
The camp site is important. Select
high ground where the breezes blow
and the drainage is good. Only 8
veritable amateur viii occupy ths
space where another camp has beer
for the filth, the flies and the fcot
remnants are probably thill there
Seek another location. If you are
not satisfied, move; you probably
haven't leased the premises and yos
ought not to put up with faulty con
ditions.
The water supply should be pure
The source should be known ant
proved to be uncontaminated and i
there Is the slightest suspicion Of IL,
quality It should not be used withou
boiling. This is a practicable ant
easy method Of rendering any watel
safe for consumption. A second
method is by the use Of bleachin,
powder. Add teaspoonful Of chlor
Ide Of lime to one pint Of water an,
keep in a well stoppered bottle.

ors, however, were understood to have
been left entirely to the riders them
selves, but the committee will insist
that the lance be decorated with the
colors of the owners.
The very best time is guaranteed
to all, and as the events are every
one something of a novelty, the crowd
should be on hand from the start to
witness the entire program.
Persons who desired last night to
know if there would be refreshments
on the ground may be sure that every
thing in season will be available. Cold
drinks, ices, sandwiches, etc., will be
all on sale at city prices. People will
be doing a wise thing to go out in
the forenoon and witness the program
conducted by the children, take din.

the competing knights, in body.
The official program, which appears
attached to this article was revised
last night. and will be followed to the
letter.

self. plain, country-bred though he

shin: scrubbed his resolutions on the
fiy-leaf of al: old laW-book, and car
ried them with q rush OF eloQuence
that startled and swept the House.
and set the tone for all the country.
His resolutions not only declared
the right of the colonies to tax them
selves to be exclusive, and establish
ed beyond recall: they also declared
that Virginians were not bound to
obay the Parliament when II acted
thus against established privilege. and
that any one who should advocase
obedience was an enemy to the col
ony.
The sober second thought Of the
burresses cut that denanI conclusion

home: but the resolutions had already
been sent post-haste through the col
onies in their first form. unrevised AND
unsoftened, and had touched the feel
ing of every one who read them like
fame of fire.
They were the FIRST word of revolu-
zion: and no man ever thought just
, the same again after he had read
them.
1t seemed q strange defiance. nc
