SQUELCHING THE I. w. WIS.

If man go upon an unlawful er- rand he may be held to answer the more serious charges that grow out of it, even though he may have in- tended nothing more than a peace full errand. In the case of the I. w. w. crew that went to Everett, with resultant murders, it is possible to arraign each one of them on the charge of conspiracy and murder, to Eay nothing of number of less scri- ous charges. It is not improbable that every man who was on the boat when it returned to Seattle may go to the penitentiary. ..
 These insane disturbers went arm ed to the city of Everett with the ;vowed intention of taking the town, burning the city and terrorizing the inhabitants. Their conduct on pre- vious occasions was symptoniatic of criminal intent on this occasion.
 The members of the Everett un- ions had as little sympathy for the rabid I. w. WIS as the rest of the population. They had warned their members against association with the law-breaking element. Therefore, when the inevitable clash between the agitators and law came it found union men disinterested spectators. The average union man does not be- linun in nd vii Tho I. w. w claims these as his most efficient weapon. The average union man prefers to arbitrate his griev- ances, and if a strike comes, negotia- tions are conducted thru committees chosen by his union. The I. w. w. be- Iieves that mob can effect moro than a committee.
 They believe that a body of meu can accomplish more by terrorizing than by pacification. Everett and many other Washington towns have had a lot of trouble with the I. w. WIS. At first they were treated as human beings, and given all the lib- critics the laws of the state allowed. They mistook liberty of action for unbridled license, and by congregat- ing in huge mobs on the corners of principal thoroughfares stopped traf- fic and terrorized the women and children. The authorities forbade speaking on corners of certain streets. These streets then became most de-. sirable forums for the I. w. WIS. The police force in many cases were unable to cope with them. This in creased their arrogance and ideas of mob power. When an individual i'm agines himself higher than, the law he is nearing the portals of the peni- tentiary ser an unti@siy grave. :. Y
 The law yves made for every man.

Corrected returns from the Second and Fourth Divisions received this af- ternoon again place Sulzer we'll in the lead, with indications that this lead will be still further augmented by returns from these divisions. There now appears to be little doubt but that Sulzer will be the next Delegate to Congress from Alaska.

REFUSES TO MAKE UNFAIR OR
INDECENT CAMPAIGN

This is a personal letter addressed
to every voter in this congressional
district. The newspaper is not pub
fishing it free, nor am 1 sending it
out in government envelope as
official business. l am paying for ii
with my own money, money that
worked hard to get.
l believe the average man is fair
The man who thinks everybody else
is crook is pretty apt t. a crook
himself.
When that statesman who is known
to you all as "Joe" Johnson resigned
his seat in congress, there was part
of a term to fill out. Sam Nichols
was elected to fill out that term. He
got majority of only 6S4 votes, out
of nearly $4,000 votes cast He prom
ised to do many things if the people
would elect him.
l ask you now in all fairness what
he has done. Can you, as fair mind
ed man, point to one single beneficial
thing he has done for his district, his
State or his country?
| will not attack his personal char
| acter in public speeches, private talks
| or the press. A man should be a gen.
tleman before trying to be a congress-
man, and If | can not get the office
without STOPPING to that sort of cam
paign l will do without it.
But surely, by all the rules of
courtesy, l may state this fact that
everybody knows Nichols has done
absolutely nothing. He has sent out
free seed, and he has sent many let
ters to you all here at home, all at
government expense, but that is all he
has done.
If you did not vote for him before,
what reason have you to vote for him
now? He is the same old Sam j.
Nichols. If you did vote for him
before, thinking he would accomplish
something, what has he done to justify
your faith and earn your vote this
year?
man who cannot, does not or will
not make good on a job has no right
to ask to be hired again. In a democ-
racy, where public servants-servants
of the people, are elected by the peo-
pie, the whole responsibility of gov
ernment rests on the people.
When a new man offers his services,
the matter of hiring him is much like
getting married. 1t is taking a long
chance; no one knows what a new
man will do in office or what sort of
biscuit a bride will make.
But after man has been on the job
for number of years or number of
months, and has done nothing, what
in the name of common sense is the
excuse for reelectin ghim? }
You, the voters, are the bosses.
We. the candidates, wish to be SER
wants. Judge of our ability to serve
by what we have accomplished in the
past. Very sincerely.

LOCKHART JUNCTION

Lockhart Junction, July 17.-Well,
the rain continues to come. There
seems to be something besides the war
to talk about now. 1t is the rain and
high water floods doing damage to the
crops. All the low lands are covered
with water. We have read of the high
water and damages in the West but
it has come this way. Some crops
are under water on the rivers and
creeks. I guess all the bottom corn
is gone or ruined. That is big loss,
but it is nothing like losing life as
we have read of in other States. So
we are blessed, for l hear of no one
getting drowned or washed away in
the high water about here.
| hear today that Broad river at
Lockhart Mills was higher than it has
been for many years. The water at
that place was higher than it had
been since the mill was built. 1t
reached some of the dwelling houses,
and some had to leave their homes.
They moved out to higher places to
get away from the water for fear
they would be washed away.
Aooliie VI Iiie oOlleSNlile DOyS VINO De-
long to the Coast Artillery at Jones'
vile have been called to Camp Moore
at Styx. These are Messrs. Walter
Hames, w. G.. White, Ernest Nc
Whirter, Albert Garner, Coniey Ken
drick, Albert McWhirter and Marvin
Fowler. These will be recruiting Of
ficers.
Mr.. Boyd Smith, who lives on Pac-
olet river, sold Mr.. S. w. Vinson a
home-raised ham weighing 35 pounds;
brought him $500. Mr.. Smith has
lost all of his corn on the river, but
has enough old corn to do him. That
is making and laying by for the rainy
days.
Mr.. Leander Proctor also sold
ham to Mr.. H. J. Hames that weighed
30 pounds; brought $500. This,
like to write about. See these farmers
making bread and meat at home and
some to sell.
| hear today that Mrs. j. B. Foster
of Jonesville died suddenly yesterday
morning while at the breakfast table.
We are sorry to hear of this sad
death. This family has our sympathy.

TOWNSVILLE

Jonesville, July 18.-I shall not tell
the readers of this communication that
it has been raining for it is we'll
known that the whole country is
drenched with the downpour that has
visited the whole country. Jonesville
has no communication except from
Spartanburg to Carlisle. So about
the only way to get beyond these
points would be by Zeppelin or sub
marine. In August, 1852, there was
the biggest rain and freshet known to
this country, except the June cloud
burst in 1906 and that was principally
on the Pacolet and Thi.Sety rivers
and it only lasted short time.
The farmers are taking the situa-
tion with much patience and are con-
servative in their talks about their
condition.
R. A. Cooper, candidate for gov
ernor, was here last Friday, accord
ing to appointment, and met small
number of the voters, to whom he
made an address, presenting his claims
for the gubernatorial office.
Mr. Foster Mabrey, son of Mr.. J. E.
Mabrey, of indianapolis is visiting his
father.
Mr.. Davis Crawford of Columbia is
visiting his mother, Mrs. Lou Craw-
ford.

writer as we'll as many others whose
pens are silent, which makes me think
of a poem one William J. Newberry
wrote good many years ago while
serving a short sentence in Union
for being on a drunk. l don't remem-
ber all the poem; wish I did, but one
verse runs this way
There's many poet dead methinks
Who might have cut caper,
If he had taken pen and ink
And put his thoughts on paper.
Part of the approach to the Grin
dali bridge on Pacolet is gone and
the same thing is the case at the Fair
Forest bridge near Mr.. B. F. Web
ber's.
The damage to crops and property
all over this country is great and can
not at this time be estimated.
Miss Irene Gore and brother, Earl,
are visiting their sister, Mrs. Jennett
Beatty, of Cross Keys.
Mrs. j. H. Foster of Newman, Ga,

Mrs. Martha A. Knox of Inman is

FMq[ROR'S DEATH
 ENDS LONG REIGN FRANCIS JOSEPH DIES
Austrian Emperor Who Had Ruled 6S years Succumbs to Illness of
 Many Years.

London. Nov. 22.-Emperor Francis Joseph died last night at g o'clock at Schoenbrunn castle, according to a Reuter- dispatch from Vienna by way of Amsterdam.
 The first intimation received here that Emperor Francis Joseph's health was again the subject of worry, was contained in dispatch dated Novem- Der 12 from a Vienna news agency, which reported that the emperor had been suffering for some days from slight catarrhal affection.
 Subsequent reports, more or less conflicting, represented that his con- dition was becoming worse, but none indicated that his illness threatened to reach a critical state and from Vienna came assurances that he was still able to give audiences to one or more ministers daily.
 What gave some credence to the suspicion that his condition was much graver than the official bulle- tins indicated. was the report which still lacks official confirmation. that it had been decided to associate the heir to the throne, Archduke ChSHes Francis, in the government of the country and that he was to assume the position on December on the sixty eighth anniversary of the em- peror's ascension to the. throne.
 Archduke Charles Francis. grand nephew of the Emperor Francis Jo- seph, became heir to the throne of Austria Hungary by the assassina- tion of Archduke Francis Ferdinand prior to the outbreak of the war. He has been in command of the Austrian armies on various fronts during the past two years.
 Archduke Charles Francis was born on August r, 1887 His wife was Princess Zita of the Bourbon house Of Parma. His father was the Arch duke Otto, who was the younger brother of Francis Ferdinand.

HFNDR|X-NORMAL
 CAMt OFF AGAIN ADMISSION IS REFUSED State Normal by A. A. A., Except Subject to Conditions Unaccept-
 able to Coach Estes.
On again, off again.

On again, off again.
 That's the way the proposed foot ball clash between the State Normal and Hendrix College has been drift ing for the past six weeks. This tune, however, it is said a definite conclusion has been reached.
 When game between the two Conway schools was proposed by Coach Dan Estes of the Normal. Hen drix authorities stated they would play the Pedagogues if they would become members of the Arkansas Athletic Association or if the execu- tive committee of the association would agree to Hendrix playing a non-member. President J. R. Allen. Tn letter to the Log Cabin Demo- crat, said he had made a ruling not to allow members to play non-mem- bers, but that if the Normal would join the A. A. A., or another asso- citation of reputable standing, a con- test could be arranged. Otherwise 1t would be impossible for Hendrix to play the Normal, he said.
 Coach Estes made application for membership in the association. Up- on failing to hear what action was taken on his application, he tele- phoned to President Allen, asking him about it. Mir. Allen informed him he would have to consult Prof. M. J. Russell of Hendrix. secretary of the association. Last night Coach Estes was informed by Mir. Allen that his membership would be received if he would consult the Hendrix Ath- letic Association and pledge them that the Normal would not play cer- tain teams not members of the asso- citation, which pledge, Coach Estes asserts, was never before exacted of an applicant. The Normal authori- ties did not feel disposed to consent to such procedure, and withdrew their application for membership.
 As the matter now stands. there will be no football contest this sea- son between the Normal and Hen- drix teams.

be transferred to Little Rock and made general superintendent over the Southern division, succeeding General Superintendent Dean in the Little Rock office, Mr Dean to be advanced in the service of the com pany, says Tuesdays Van Buren Press-Argus.
 These rumors point to the promo tion of Superintendent Morse, re- gently transferred from Wynne to Van Buren to succeed Mr. Wildman on the Central division, who will be transferred to the St. Louis Kansas City division and that MT. Morse's place will be filled by some superin- tendent to be transferred from some other division.
 plans of the company for installing their new through, fast passenger service between Omaha, Neb., and New Orleans Via Van Buren are again being discussed, for it is be- lieved that approaching official chang es are to be made with this end in view. Some that are well informed insist that both the new passenger and the new freight service between Omaha and New Orleans will be in augurated before the beginning of the holiday travel. In view of the fact that practically all of the better ment work along the full length of the line has been completed prepara- tory to installing this service, it is very evident that the company is now ready to carry out its long con- sidered plans of converting the Gen. tral and its connecting division into one of the best lines west of the Mississippi river.

S73 RAISED FOR
 CAMPAIGN DEFICIT FUND NEAR COMPLETION Two S5 Contributors and List from Mt. Vernon are Included in
 TOday's Donations.

Seventy-three dollars was reached today by the fund being raised by the Log Cabin Democrat to aid in paying off the deficit of $300,OO0 in the Democratic national campaign expenses, today's list including two S5 contributions and a list totaling S4 handed in by E. E. Jones of Mt. Vernon. Only $27 is now needed to round out the $100 asked to be raised in this county by National Chairman Vance Mccormack. The list will be held open only until next Saturday, when all collections will be forwarded. No Democrat should let this opportunity pass to have at least small share in bringing about the glorious victory of President Will son. The deficit incurred was un- occasionally necessary and probably proved the turning point in a race in which the Democracy might have suf- fered defeat.

BANKS DEPOSITS
 SHOW BIG GAIN

Although deposits in the three Conway banks on November IF, as shown by condensed statements pub lished in today's Log Cabin Democrat on call of the sttae bank commission, are larger by far than on any preced- ing call, today's deposits total over S300,000 greater. The date for the condition call preceded by about three days the sale of about 1000 bales of cotton here, and it was estimated by a local banker this morning that one and two-thirds million dollars are now being held by the local institu- tions. The amount on deposit on No vember IT was $1,306, ,8O2.38. Tho present deposits are said to be double those of any previous year.

BALE OF COTTON
 BRINGS S2O4.4O

What is believed to be record price for a single bale of upland cot ton was paid yesterday afternoon by s. G. Smith to J. L. Davidson of Mt. Vernon. The bale weighed ITO pounds and brought 20 1-2 cents per pound or $157.S5 for the line. Seed to the amount of 1,681 pounds were ginned from the bale, and the seed at $55 per ton brought $46.55, mak- ing a total of $20440 for lint and seed of one bale of cotton.

ANOTHER BREAK
 IN COTTON PRICE

Another severe break occurred in the cotton market today, futures be- ing carried down at one time to about s5 points below the high mark es- tablished Tuesday morning. Part of the loss was recovered, however, the close being at net loss of l6 points on January New York contracts. Practically no cotton is being sold here today on account of the rain, the few bales that were marketed bringing from 20 l-4 to 20 l-2 cents.
 Cottonseed remain unchanged at S55 per ton.
