A House Divided

X7OU have read the old scripture
saying that "a house divided
against itself can not stand"
Here is proof to the contrary:
In some parts of New England,
notably in Plymouth, Marblehead,
and Newburyport, there exists a
curious custom of willing house to
several heirs. One may own all
that is on the left-hand side of a
line running from the ridge-pole
to the ground, and another will
own all on the right-hand side of
the line: or one will own the top
and the other the lower half, Some
times four or five people will own
different parts of the house. Each
does as he pleases with his part.

St Louis, Mo-, June 12-Ante-con-

ROAD Commissioners
ASK That Election Set For June "a BE
Set Aside and Explains Their
Reason For Same.

The undersigned, recently appoint
ed by the Mason Fiscal Court as mem
bers OF a Commission to supervise the
expenditure Of the proceeds OF any
bond issue that might be voted In Ma
son county for the purpose of building
roads, desire to make the following
statement to the voters and tax payers
Of Mason county, Kentucky:
Immediately upon their appointment
they proceeded to circulate petitions
asking that an election be held on Sat
urday. June 14th, 1916, to ascertain
whether or not the voters of Mason
County are in favor Of voting bonds
in the sum of $200,00000 for the pur-
pose of building public roads and
bridges. After these petitions had been
lodged with the Mason County Judge,
and the election called 1t developed
that there was some question whether
or not the election held in November,
1914, was valid, and bond issue OF
$500, 100000 already authorized by the
voters OF Mason County. After Sc
curing legal advice on this point they
find that IL the question of the validity
Of this election is carried through the
courts that in all probability the cleo
ton would be held valid, and the F1s-
cal Court would be required TO issue
5000 100000 in bonds.
The members of this commission
feel that bond issue exceeding $780,
10000 is not authorized at the pres
ent time, and is not desired by the
voters of Mason County, and they are
therefore unwilling under the circum-
stances to advise the voting of an ad-
ditional 5000, 100000 bond issue until
1t Is definitely determined whether the
former election was validly held, and
they are unwilling to serve on said
Commission II $500, 100000 in bonds are
authorized especially since they feel
that the expenditure of that amount OF
money would be unsatisfactory to the
tax payers of Mason county at this
time. Furthermore, by reason OF the
uncertainty surrounding the validity
Of the November, 1914. election the
voters would be unable to vote intelli-
gently at the proposed election. Under
these circumstances they feel that in
justice to themselves and in order to
promote the best interests of the tax
payers in Mason County that 1t would
be unwise to hold the proposed cleo
ton on June oath, 1916, and therefore
they have asked that the petitions
heretofore filed by them requesting
the calling of said election be with
drawn and that the order of the
County Court calling the election be
set aside.

LEWIS BEATS LEE IN SENATE
RACE.
DIR. France Wins Republican Nom-
nation Over Former Governor
GOldsborough.

GO1USDOFOu&Us
In the statewide primary election
May 1, Congressman David ]. Lewis,
of Cumberland, defeated United
States Senator Blair Lee and w.
Cabell Bruce for the Democratic
nomination for United States sem
ator. DIR. Joseph I. France, of Cecil
county, won the Republican sena-
torial nomination over former Gov
ernor Phillips Lee Goldsborough.
Senator Lee carried three Of the
four districts in Baltimore city,
where he received the support of
the city organization. Congressman
Lewis had the backing of the state
organization of which United States
Senator John Walter Smith and
Governor Harrington are the leaders.
Mr.. Bruce received comparatively
small vote.
Although few delegates elected to
the Republican state convention are
pledged to work for Hughes or
Roosevelt" delegation to the national
convention, indications are that the
regular organization will control the
state convention, and that an unin-
structed delegation will be sent to
Chicago.
Congressman J. F. c. Talbot de-
feated Lloyd Wilkinson by large
majority for the Democratic nomi-
nation for Congress in the second
district. Congressman Price, Coady
and Lithicum were unopposed for
Democratic Congressional nomina-
tions.
The votes by counties as they will
be cast for the respective Senatorial
candidates in the Republican and
Democratic State Conventions are;
Republican-France, 7S; Goldsbor-
ough, Sc. Democratic-Lewis, rs;
Lee So.
The following is the Congressional
ticket: First, Jesse D. Price, Demo-
crat, renominated; Robert F. Duer,
Republican. Second, j. F. G. Talbot,
Democrat, renominated; William H.
Lawrence, Republican. Third, Chas.
P. Coady, Democrat, renominated;
Charles w. Main, Republican. Fifth,
Jackson H. Ralston, Democrat; Sgd
ney E. Mudd, Republican, renomin-
ated. Sixth, Louis Stern, Democrat;

At the End OF the Rainbow.

AC Cn0 GuO III Cn6 TSaAuOOWs
The three-act comedy of the above
title, given by home talent in Rising
Sun public hall, on Wednesday eve
ming, was the biggest sort of a sue
cess in every particular, and those
promoting the play and taking part
in it have every reason to feel proud
of their efforts.
There was enough plot in the play
to maintain interest to the end, and
the parts were all filed in such a
manner as to reflect credit not only
on the performers but also on Miss
Genevieve Turner, under whose
capable. training and direction the
splendid little comedy was presented.
Then, too, the orchestra Of six
pieces, under direction of W. Paul
Keen, rendered unusually fine music,
contributing greatly to the enjoy
ment of the play. In fact the enter
tainment bristled with snap and vim,
much talent being displayed by
those impersonating the various
characters.
The cast included: Mrs. Maude
Kirk, Misses Clara Robertson, Louise
Wagner, Verna Grason, Ella Pogue,
violette Terry, Mildred Clayton,
Edna Wilson, Helen Shepherd, Pearl
Ryan, Mabel Johnson, Sara Kirk,
Angela Nichols; Messrs. Edwin L.
Haines, Warren Taylor, Leslie Pyle,
Norman Pyle, William Ryan, and
Taylor Biles. Burton Keilholtz was
stage manager.
The hall was crowed, every seat
being sold, the gross receipts
amounting to 1886; net $60.01.
The demand for seats was so
great that many were disappointed
in not being able to secure tickets,
and it has been decided to present
the play again on Friday evening of
this week, 5th inst. No reserved
seats will be sold, general admis-
sion OF 25 cents being charged.
The proceeds are for the benefit
of the Y and the Ladies' Aid Society.
Mrs. Joseph Pogue entertained
the entire cast, together with the
orchestra and others who assisted
in the production at her home i'm
mediately after it's conclusion.
Refreshments were served and very
pleasant social time enjoyed by
everyone.

SMALLPOX IN WILMINGTON.
Places OF Amusement and Saloons
Closed BY Board OF Health.

Closed By Board Of Health.
Because of the growing number of
smallpox cases in Wilmington, and
the fear of further spread of the
disease, the health authorities on
Tuesday night served notice on the
proprietors and managers of all the
amusement places in the city to close
their places until further orders
from the Board Of Health.
In addition the proprietors of
twelve saloons in or near infected
sections were similarly notified, and
their places will be closed until the
health officials deem it wise to allow
them to reopen.
The amusement places which
come under the edict of the health
authorities include not only all the
motion picture places, but the other
theatres as well.
Included in the affected class is
the Moose carnival, which has been
in progress at Kirkwood Park since
Saturday night.
Secretary Bowers in his Wednes-
day morning statement said the num-
ber of smallpox cases had reached
approximately 80, although he was
not prepared to give the exact num-
Der without consulting his records.
The smallpox hospital at Farm
hurst is now filed to its capacity,
and it has been impossible to remove
all of the recent white victims to
that place. The problem of handling
additional cases is one confronting
the authorities, and it may be neces-
sary to erect field hospitals.
