will conduct his campaign for the

The late snowstorms have not only
retarded progress Ill improving farm
lands, but has heaped up mass of soft
sloppy snow to a depth that is fright,

we'll as the tenderfoot shoppers. Set
tiers are seen pacing the floors in their
homes, like unto Gagged lions, so eager
are they to be at their work. But the
promise is to the faithful and we feel
safe to predict that in a short time we
will have spr1ng in reality as we'll as in

again it will 60 with .rapidlty that will
astonlsh both old Settlers and new COM

COUNTY ELECTION THIS YEAR?
Appeal to Supreme Court Would
Probably Necessitate Election
Of County Officers.

We note considerable comment in
the papers of the state in regard to
the constitntionality of the four year
term for county officers.
In the Smallwood- Window de-
cision Judge Hallam turned aside to
remark that *'As matter of fact
county officers in every county Of
the state today are holding under a
statute fixing their term at four years
from the first Monday in January,
1915, and until their successors are
elected and qualified. This term
exceeds the constitutional limit fixed
by section 8, article 7 Of the consti-
tuition, which permits no hold-over
at all. But it has never been con-
sldered that such statutes are VOID
except as to the excess over the
constitutional limit"
There are those who doubt the
omission Of the words 'countv Of
ficers" from the last clause exempts
them from the provision regarding
the biennial election, since they ave
mentioned in the first clause. And
the last sentence of the section SAYS
that sail state, county and other
officers elected at the general cleo
ton whose terms will otherwise ex-
pire on the first Monday in January,
1886, shall hold and continue in
such offices until the first Mouday
in January, 1887.
Should the other Justices hold
with Judge HaIlam III tins opinion,
and an appeal be made, ii county
election would be necessary this
year. We do not believe that there
is amy sentiment in this county de-
string this law attacked.

London, March 11.-Russia is pre-

harbor of Ria as a naval base for the
advance on Trebizond, which is thir-
ty-fve miles distant, according to Pc

harbor and offers ample shelter and
anchorage. In this way the Russians
will have the advantage of satisfac-
tory communications by sea, while the
Turks are handicapped by incredibly
bad land communications The Rus

upon his steed, he set himself against
the score of mutineeTs. And it was
a heroic picture to see the regular
play of his sword as he thrust and
cut and parted.
He Glove his way to Doris side.
The mutineers had fallen back, but
now they rallied. A score Of shots
rang out. The horse fell, shot to
death, and John Garner went tUm-
bling under it.
He picked himself up, imping,
seized the Tickshaw in his arms and
set it up as a barTicade in the door
way of a deserted house. He placed
Doris beneath it, swinging her in his
arms as lightly as if she was feath-
er. Then, sword in hand, he took his
post before her, while her father,
Selling sword from a fallen mutt
neer, stood at his side.
The natives had exhausted their
ammunition in the first outbreak.
But they came forward with rush,
a black, streaming body, shrieking
maledictions. And Garner and Hen
~ Banks played their parts nObly.
In this imminent danger Doris felt
herself grow suddenly calm, as if she
were a mere spectator at a play. She
saw one of the men fall, pierced by
her fathers sword, though Henry
Banks had never handled a sword in
his life before. Then he was down
and Garner was bestride his body,
fighting like a man possessed. The
natives drew off and looked at him in
awe. It seemed impossible that one
man could achieve so much.
But from their outskirts a little
man ran forward and fired a revolver
point-bIank into Gamers face. Car
ner, still clutching his sword, stag
gered and fell and with wild yells the
rebels rushed forward over his body.
