sentenced to the penitentiary for life
last week for murder and robbery
made affidavit connecting Emmett
Moore and Allen Counts with the
hold-up and robbery of Felix Ogle
one night in September, 1915, on the
strength of which Deputy Sheriff
Brown arrested Moore and Counts
and Prosecuting Attorney Davis has
fled informatiaa charging them with
highway robbery. According to
Hills story, he slugged Ogle, and
Moore and Counts tied handkerchief
over his face, searched and robbed
him of $22, which was divided among
them.
They were released on bond for
their appearance at the next tenn of

TRULY GREAT ASSET
FOR FARMINGTON
This Community Particularly Fortu-
nate in Having Location Of the
Schramm Bottling and Ice Co.

The Times editor this week enjoyed
the privilege of visit to the Schramm
Bottling and Ice Manufacturing Co.,
and was also further privileged with
trip throughout the plant, under the
personal direction of F. w. Schramm,
the genial and accommodating propri-
etor, who seemed to take pleasure in
going into the details of the business.
The writer was most agreeably sur
prised with the magnitude and SUI
perb equipment of the entire plant,
which is certainly one of the most
perfect in equipment we have ever
seen, for its capacity, which is far
greater than has ever yet been re-
quired here.
Mr.. Schramm was found in his Of
flee, in the bottling department, which
is very busy place at this season of
the year. This plant has the very
great advantage of being supplied
with abundance of the purest of wa
ter, from its own well, which is 400
feet deep. Here is turned out daily
from 100 to 100 cases Of carbonated
uSNSIdSSSJ VI SlAlISit ullGI6IlI tldNUIS,
which is a most delightful drink. Then,
too, it has to recommend it, perfect
cleanliness and purity. Each bottle is
thoroughly sterilized before it is filled
with the beverage, and the davors
are the best that can be secured. A
large auto truck was being loaded
with the beverage for the Lead Belt
while we were there. 1t is there, Mr..
Schramm informed us, that his great
est trade is, several times greater than
his Pennington trade.
We were then conducted across a
court to the ice plant and ice cream
factory. The latter has been but re-
Gently installed, this being its first
season. While the exterior Of the
building is not yet entirely finished,
we found the interior in perfect or
der, and equipped with the latest i'm
proved machinery for the handling of
cream, before it is frozen, as well as
during the freezing process. There
are many who question the purity of
ice cream where made in large guam
titles, and in many instances there

Republican Guber-
material Candidate

C. D. Morris, editor of the st. Jo-
seph Gazette, who imagines he is in
the Republican gubernatorial race in
this State, spoke to a small crowd in
the Circuit Court room Tuesday after
noon. Just why the Republicans will
not accord their own speakers a re-
spectacle hearing il is difficult to
say. Some attribute it to a lack of
confidence in their self-imposed lead
ers, while others say that practically
all of them will vote for President
Wilson and most of the Democratic
ticket, and that "Standpatters" have
become woefully scarce.
However that may be, Mr.. Morris
made a very good speech, for a Re
publican. Of course many Of his
statements were wholly unreliable,
as, for instance, that "the Democrats
are opposed to new State Constitu-
ton" He failed to state where he
got his information, but it is certain
he did not obtain such dope in this
country. But these little errors were
necessary in order to make the talk
"stand up" Had it not been for them
it would have been a very good DEM
ocratic speech. We deeply regret,
however, to see a good man like Mr..
Morris, and an old newspaper man, too
thus butting his head against a brick
wall. 1t will be better for him,
though, to go down in the nominating
primary, than to draw the card that
would doom him to lead a forlorn hope.

ROBERT HOLMES is
NOT A "QUITTER"
Is Sure He is Right and, Therefore, Like
Davy Crockett, Says He Will go
Ahead" to the Finish

A representative of The Times met
Mr.. Robert Holmes of st. Louis few
days ago, the man that is causing
some of the managers and board of
directors of the Doe Run Lead Com
pany considerable concern through
the suits he has brought against the
company on several separate grounds.
He casually remarked to Mr.. Holmes,
anent the late proceedings in the st.
Francois County Circuit Court, 81 see
one of the attorneys of the company
sprung Federal statute on the court
in course of the proceedings that may
cause the withdrawal of all three Of
your suits, and suggestion that they
were not brought in good faith"
With just the faint flicker of a
smile, Mr.. Holmes said: "Well, that
Federal statute isn't worrying any
body, | guess, unless it is the attor-
ney who dug it up. As to the with
drawal of the suits or any lack of
faith in instituting them, that's all
bosh, and they know it."
Meaning that you intend to push
the suits ?"

Without Bond

Chas. Cunningham, a negro boy
about twenty years old, was given a
preliminary hearing Wednesday
morning in Squire J. P. Zolman's
court, charged with having ravished
an 8-year-old negro girl named Clara
Taylor He was committed to jail,
without bail, for trial at the next reg
ular term of circuit court.
The little girls testimony was di-
rest and positive. She also identified
the prisoner positively as the party
assaUlting her. She said that he came
into her home Saturday night, in her
fathers absence, and got in bed with
her, she thinking that it was hef
father at that time. An examination
cf the little girls condition disclosed
tine 1act that she had suffered inhuman
treatment. If it is proven that Gun
ningham is the guilty party, then the
most severe punishment provided by
law should be meted out to him.

ment of the companies are considera-
BILE, otherwise why should bother
myself about them? My interests
naturally lie in smooth, honest and
business-like management; the less
friction the better for all concerned.
But these suits were brought in good
faith to remedy, if possible, mistakes
and the results Of bad management,
to protect not only my own interests
but those of other stockholders who
have not he opportunity of knowing
about the company's affairs as / do.
It doesn't look reasonable, does it,
that | would be spending so much of
my time with these suits, employing
the best legal talent that can procure
at no little outlay, and putting myself
to no little inconvenience if were not
convinced that the end will justify the
means, and that certain wrongs ex-
list that should and must be rectifed?
No, I'm not engaged in any pastime;
| have other ways Of amusing myself
when / have time"
The impression created by his talk
was that he was sure he was right
and like Davy Crockett, intended "to

But Evidence Appears to Be 1t Was

such action on the part of those who
were at the head of this move, if
there was such an effort made. But
either of these reasons is SO unreas-
enable that we can hardly believe
they are true, and we therefore re-
frain from stating them. If these is
any man, or set of men, in this city
who would add the slightest hindrance
to Pennington securing free mail de-
livery, for either of the reasons that
have been given us, they must have
very little public spirit.
While The Times feels that Farm
ington has been unfairly dealt with
in this matter, if reports are true, ii
will only delay for awhile the secur-
ing Of free mail delivery, which will
prove to be long advance step, one
that would not only be very great
convenience to the citizenship gen
orally, but would put this city in
even a better light abroad. 1t would
also mean several salaries added to
the pay-rolls of this community
something to which no place, howev-
er prosperous it may be, would OBJ
ject. But if the fact can be shown
conclusively that Pennington has
been deprived, even for awhile, Of
free mail delivery through the ma
chinations of some of her own citi-
zens, then such citizens should be
known, if for no other reason than
that they may be watched hereafter
whenever the best interest Of the pub
lie is at stake.

Great Revival
Spirit Manifest

Capacity crowds have been filling
the big tabernacle nearly every night,
and on several evenings there was not
seating room for many who came af-
ter the services had begun.
Rev. Burke is delivering some mas
terful sermons with punch and power,
that are making the people sit up and
take notice The peopIs O. Farming
ton cannot afford to miss this oppor-
tunity for inspiration and help as well
as entertainment.
The music under Prof. Loes is prov
ing very helpful The large choir and
the special renditions every evening
are making the services exceedingly
enjoyable. Many voice the praise of
Mr.. Loes' fervent and soul-stirring
solos.
About the most energetic and cor
dial person on the revival campus is
Rev. Hobbs. He has a smile that
doesn't rub off. He is everybody's
friend and always on the job with a
suggestion and lift heavenward.
A special meeting was held at the
Tabernacle Tuesday afternoon at 2:30.
Mr.. Hobbs had charge of the service
and made an inspiring appeal to the
large number Of women present. He
said in part: "There are enough peo-
pie here this afternoon to win the
whole county for Christ. This town
and community will not be brought to
the Saviour by Steve Burke's sermons
alone, but your individual efforts will
cause the hearts of the unsaved to
acclaim Christ the King of Kings"
personal work is the method by
which this battle will end with US on
the winning side," he continued.
"What are you women doing for
Christ and the church? | wish every
husband in Pennington could say,
My wife has religion, all right; she
is surely saved"
The Women's Gospel Team was or
ganized. This is a representative
body who will lead in canvassing and
conquering the field of labor.
The officers elected were the fol-
lowing: Pres, Mrs. Frank Doss; Vice
Pres, Mrs. Ed Helber; Sec, Mrs. o.
]. Mayberry.
Those who were chosen as captains
of the four wards were: 1st ward, Mrs.
Ed Helber temporary; End ward,
Mrs. G. A. Jones and Mrs. Judge
Clay; Bird ward, Mrs. Ed Henderson;
4th ward, Msr. Hugh Mitchell.
This aggregation Of women, ladies
of Pennington, are your leaders.
Rally to their support.
Short prayer meetings are being
held in different homes in the after
noon throughout the entire city. The
initial gatherings of this nature were
at the homes Of the captains of each
ward, thereafter in various places.
These times of prayer and prepara-
tion take place on four days of each
week, viz, Tuesday, Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday.

are grounds for such suspicious. But
all such people should make a visit
to Schramm's factory and have every
doubt removed as to its absolute pur-
ity. You will be welcome to inspect
the plant and its workings, in every
detail. There is an expert in this de-
partment, as there is throughout this
plant, from whom you will be able to
secure many valuable points in the
handling and preparation of cream.
1t is first put into pasteurizer where
it is purified and relieved of any pos
sible germs. 1t then passes through
several different processes before the
finished product is ready for the mar
ket. The machinery in this depart
ment is all the latest improved and
most expensive. When we inquired
the cost of one of them, we were fore
ed TO step into an adjacent cooling
room to get our breath.
On entering the ice plant, we were
introduced to the engineer, F. L. Brew
er, who explained in minute manner
the workings of that department,
which seems to be quite complicated
to novice. There can be no doubt
remaining, however, in the mind of
anyone who will go through the
Schramm Ice Plant with Engineer
Brewer, that that gentleman is thor
oughly conversant with every detail
of that business, and to have him ex-
plain the machinery and workings of
the factory is most interesting. The
capacity Of this ice plant is ten tons
of crystal pure ice every twenty-four
hours, with a possible production of
13 1-2 tons. But as the Schramm Co.
has ice plants at both Flat River and
Bonne Terre the normal output of
this factory has always been sufficient
for every demand. Mr.. Brewer has
had many years of experience in ice
plants ia many different States, and
he says that this plant is by far the
most complete and modern Of any
plant, of similar capacity, that he has
ever seen. 1t is really treat to Wis
it the Schramm plants in this city,
and yet we suppose there are hun
dreds of residents of this city who
have never been inside of it.
The Farmington times., 1916-06-30

The receipts of the Farmington
postoffice for the sale of postage for
the fiscal year ending today, June
Both, again precludes the possibility
of this city securing free mail deliv-
cry for the present. The postage
sales for the year will fall just a little
below the $4,000 necessary in order
to secure such boon.
Up to the final quarter it seemed
not only possible, but highly probable
that the postage sales would reach
the $4,000 mark, which would have
put Pennington in the class for free
postal delivery. But at that critical
time it seems an element "got into the
game" which could not have been an
ticipated in wide-awake and go
ahead community. This was bunch
of "knockers" who are said to have
adopted methods calculated to block
what might have been happy con-
summation of postal affairs in this
community.
There is every reason to believe
that large quantities Of postage
stamps were secured from other of
fees and brought to this city to sup
ply the needs of those who could be
reached with such supplies, for the
sole purpose of diminishing sales here
and defrauding this city out of what
very likely, would have been her just
right-free postal delivery.
The Times has heard two different
reasons advanced as an excuse foi
