HARDING IN DEFENSE
Replies to Newspaper Attack Calling
CowIes and Kelly Wet Too - Does
Not Deny Correctness Of His Record
az Published. ..y...

Special to Times-Republican.
Waterloo, Oct 5. - In his. address
here Tuesday Mr.. Harding attacked
Gardner Cowles, publisher Of the Des
Moines Register and J. c. Kelly, pub
Usher of the Sioux City Tribune, both
OF which newspapers have been oppos-
ing him saying that Cowles voted wet
when in the legislature and that Kelly
had wired the Sioux City senator to
vote against the five-mile limit bill.
He made no effort, however, to deny
that he had made the fight on the floor
for the saloon interests against the
five-mile limit bill or that he had voted
wet on other temperance measures.
His reply was that he stood on the
republican platform which is dry and
repeatedly leaned on Havner. dry can
didate Tor attorney general saying tha:
he has promised as governor to help
Havner. The purpose Of the Harding
forces from precincts as wet as Scott
county in putting the Havner nomina-
ton over was quite apparent in the
address here
Harding repeated here his assertion
CuaL COWlGS Ill the LES -nOihCS SAuc q
midnight offered him the support OF
the Register if he would secure the
confirmation of Cowles on the board Of
education. For this statement Cowief
has called Harding a liar in cold print
and Cowles shows that the Register
bolted Harding for lieutenant COVER
nor before the Cowles appointment
was ever heard Of.
Harding made no reply whatever to
the charge taken from the records thai
he aided public utility corporations &c
put over a law which would have given
them all a perpetual extension OF theit
franchises or that he introduced bill
fav ora BILE to the insurance interests de-
signed to remove the bars to combna'
ton among fire insurance companies.
BY his failure to deny the records as tc
his own wet votes he in effect admitted
the correctness of the record and pro-
ceeded to call the kettle black.

WAUCHULA BOARD OF
TRADE HAS TROUBLES.

Wauchula, Jan. 4.-Ali .his week
citizens have been standing about In
punches talking over what occurred
Monday night at the first meeting of
the board Of trade since the big Get
Together banquet and organization
meeting the previous Friday night.
AT the Friday night gathering, at
which b. L. Hammer, secrG,arr Of the
Tampa Board Of Trule, Was the rim
cipa speaker the temporary crganl-
cation, which had been formed pre-
yiously, was without dissent, declared
permanent. one hundred entluslss-
tic citizens were present vt that gath
ering, I'm addition to the members OF
the band.
The board adjourned until last
Monday night, principally to take up
the matter Of arranging exhibits for
the South Florida Fair and to ar
range for bylaws and committees q.
Instead Of that a clique had arranged
for things different. They declared
the motion to make the temporary
organization permanent" as unani-
mously passed, meant only the name.
BY secret ballot new candidates for
offices were nominated and then
elected by secret ballot. After all that
was over the board adjourned to meet
two weeks from that night in the city
council chamber. The meeting was
attended by about third of those
present at the "Get Together" gather
ing.
When the news spread the next
morning the ire Of the other members
and citizens was aroused over tho ac-
tion Of the alleged wire-pullers at
Monday nights meeting, and pulling
a1Iart' has taken the place OF "get to-
gether."
Now. there are various rumhlln@s,
some in regard to starting a fight ov-
er the legality Of the action taken at
Mondays meeting, and some about
starting a Chamber of Commerce.
Wauchula has had two previous
Boards At Trade which petered out
of existence.

EXCELLENT SANDSTONE.

Mr.. G. b. Collins, of Hlcoria,
brought to the News office yesterday
a sample Of sand stone that he is us
ing in making the very best concrete
walks and drives around his prem
iscs. Mr.. Collins says there are UNI
limited quantities Of this material in
Buzzard Roost Gully, Sand Gully and
Make Spring Gully. This will I'm n
large measure solve the problem Of
getting splendid material for building
hard surface roads I'm the eastern por-
ton Of the county, which is right on
the Dixie Highway. This material
shows evidence Of being all that Is
needed in making the very hest Of
crushed stone roads when used with
oil coating, or win furnish excellent
material for making concrete base for
sand asphalt roads in case 1t is do
ciced to build this class of roads .
Sand asphalt roads made on such q
concrete base would last forever. with
very little repairs, and having the
concrete material so near at hand.
would greatly minimize the expense
Of building.

AUCTION SALES WERE
VERY SATISFACTORY.
from Thursdays DallY.l

(From Thursdays Dally.)
1t has been again demonstrated
that the citizens of Arcadia believe
fully in the possibilities Of the rea
estate values of the city. At the auc
ton yesterday held by the Southern
Land Auction Company, Of Asheville
N. c., nine vacant business lots were
sold, the sale aggregating the hand
some sum of $500, and all the pur,
chasers are old residents who are
acquainted with values.
Those making purchases are as fol.
lows:
/ d. r. Whitehead, lots.
s. Resin, / lot.
r. NJ. Lock and s. Rosin, l lot.
L. d. Harley, 1 lot.
W. r. Robertson, 1 lot.
Mrs. L. /. Morgan, lot.
L. L. Morgan, lot.
II. p. Langford, 1 lot.
The above lots were all sold on
what is known as the Morgan block.
The lots adjacent to these on what
is known rs the Plat block, were OPP
toned as whole, and not sold sepa-
rstely.
! The land company employed the
Arcadia Merchants Band during the
day, paying them $50 in cash and a
watch for their services. the watch
being later auctioned of for s11.
Three watches were distributed free
by the company, as was also n set Of
Community silverware. We are not
advised as to who are the recipients
of these gifts.
A diamond ring valued at $4,000
in gold was to be given to the one
who made the nearest guess as to
what the corner lot would bring. Six
teen persons tied on this guess, and
the matter was then decided by lot,
Loci Lence being the fortunate one.
Mr.. g. r. Moore, Of Tampa, was
manager of the sales, and Mr.. John
Suggs, Of Asbeville, was the auc-
tioneer. Both Of these gentlemen were
much praised by the people for their
courtesy and uniform spirit of fair
ness.

THE FINEST OF BERRIES

CITY To HAVE INDUSTRY
EXHIBIT NEXT OCTOBER
TAKES PLACE OF PREPARED
Ness PARADE, PLANS FOR
WHICH ARE ABANDONED.

The plan for a preparedness par
ade here on July has been aban-
doned, and instead of this pageant
Columbus will have an animal indus
try exhibition next October, and
hopes to make the display one of the
most pretentious undertakings of
similar character ever witnessed in
Mississippi.
The proposed preparedness parade
was abandoned for two reasons, one
being that the directors did not
think Columbus large enough to
stage creditable pageant of this
character and the other being that
the time intervening between now
and July is too short to get up
any entertainment that will prove a
credit to the city.
The industry exhibition will last
three days, and the, Chamber Of
Commerce will at once begin worl
on the undertaking with the view Of
making it gigantic success.
