 It has long been a practice of cer- tain fishermen to carry with them a more or less liberal supply of anti snake bite, liquid bait, but all records in this line were broken Thursday when local officers, using a drag-net in a pond near the plant of the Hope Brick Works, brought to land sixty five quarts of booze, which had been discovered there by some boys who were playing about the pond. The net has so far failed to reveal the owner or owners of the "oil of joy" but it is supposed to have been part of a shipment which was recently taken from car in the local railroad yards.-Star of Hope.

LIME FOR FARMERS,
Lime Company at Grab Orchard, May
Put In Crusher Soon.

For some time N. D. Walker, who
il managing the lime company business
at Grab Orchard, has been making in
vestlgations relative to the cost of
putting lime crushing plant in con-
nection with the lime business. He
now has matters in hand that hethinks
it probable he will be able to furnish
lime to our farmers at not to exceed
$500 ton delivered at their nearest
station. H.
Mr.. Walker hopes to have all the
necessary information in hand within
a few days SO that he will be able to
name definite price also be able to
state what the freight will be.
Those who wish to secure lime
should see County Agent W. 6. Aus.
mond at once and learn the conditions
as it will take some time to get the
plant on the ground and enstalled and
Mr.. Walker must have some assurance
that there will be a market for the
lime before he orders the plant. Farm
ers will, OF course, wish to get their
lime this flal when the roads are so
they can haul to best advantage.

UNEXPECTED HONOR.

A few days ago Prof. A. J. Albert
son was the recipient of very unex--
pected compliment and honor.
He received notice that he had been
elected principal of Buravllle College,,
Morgan county, at salary of 500 a.
month. The notice was sent lin by
the county superintendent of Morgan
county, who added IN his letter: I'VE
need you IN this county,"
Prof. Albertson is naturally very
much graittied at that manifestation.
Of his worth In school work. but since
be made no application for The place,
he will not accept IN spite of ths fact
that his election was a complete sur
prise to him. Having been selected AZ:
one of the teaching force OF our high
school, Prof. Albertson will make no
change but continue his work hero for
this year at least.

0OO year aside from the distinguished
honor it carries.
Mr.. Smith was for several years a
resident of Crossville, has large circle
OF friends in this county and was al
ways considered as one of the most
able nd brilliant lawyers that came

his aspirations, and there is every
reason to expect he will. it would
meet with the most hearty approval
Of the people OF this section and prac-
ticaily all over Middle and East Ten

attorney for the Southern Railway and

knowledge of other features Of legal
procedure and law that eminently fits

The total vote of the county was only
958, which would seem at first glance
to be light vote, but when it is re-
membered that the county has lost
fully 200 voters incident to the war,
directly and indirectly, it will be seen
that the vote is of reasonable size con-
sidering the tact that there were no

At two precincts. Milestone and
Byrds Branch, no election was held.

| Barre, Is to be backed by the McCor-
mick-Palmer leadership for chair
man of the Democratic state commit
tee, regardless of Judge Bonniwelfs
recommendation of two Lehigh
county Democrats for this place. Nc
Lean is brother of the present
chairman, w. s. Mclean.
There will be vigorous opposition
| and 1t is claimed successful, to any
proposition that may come from
Judge Bonniwell for wet plank in
the state platform. The least they
will do will be to have the platform
remain silent upon the prohibition
issue.
"It was also agreed that there
shall be a campaign committee of
fourteen to be named by the chair
man of the Democratic state COM
mittee when the new chairman shall
be elected and that Judge Bonniwell
shall be given the privilege OF nam
ing the chairman of that committee.
"As the Democratic state COM
mittee were elected for term of two
years the McCormick-Palm fac
tion is determined that Bonniwell
shall not get control of the chair
manship of the committee, which
will be in control when the dele
gates to the next Democratic national
convention shall be elected"
The Record says: "Mr. Palmer
intimated that he is strongly oppos-
ed to Mr.. Logue Withdrawing as a
candidate for lieutenant governor.
That would be asking too much he
declared. 1T would not be fair to
the voters who supported Mr.. Logue
to ask him to withdraw as a candi-
cate after he had fairly won the
nomination. Mr.. Palmer also de-
clared that it is probable George II.
Mclean will be a candidate for state
chairman. Two years ago. he con-
tinued, the state committee selected
William S. Mclean, Jr., as state
chairman. Shortly afterward, Mr..
Mclean entered the Army, and he
was forced to withdraw. 1 think
can safely say that if Mr.. Mclean
was here now he would be a candi-
date for reelection, and that he
would be elected According to the
Palmer plan, Sedgwick Kistler will
be reelected treasurer of the state
committee and Warren Van Dyke
secretary.

BONNIWELL NOT
TO BOSS MACHINE
Palmer-McC Cormick Leaders
Decide to Make a Fight
Against His Proposals

The lmer-McCormick bosses will
fight the attempt of Judge Eugene c.
Bonniwell to take the control of the
Democratic state machine away from
them. The judge will be told he is
only one of six candidates and that
he can not run the party in the
state Steps to line up state COM
mitteemen for a battle that will be
as historic as the session which gave
reorganizers the control are under
way on both sides.
The Palmer-McCormicll people
met in Philadelphia yesterday and
outlined their plans. The Philadel-
phia Inquirer says of it:
Complete defiance of Judge Eu-
gene c. Bonniwell, the nominee for
governor in his plans to dominate
the Democratic state committee and
to have his personal selections put
into the chairmanships of the state
committee and the Philadelphia city
committee as well, was determined
upon at a conference of Mccormick
Palmer leaders of the state demo-
cracy.
The following program was
agreed upon:
y. washington Logue, or Phlla-
delphia, nominee for lieutenant gov
ernor, must not withdraw from the
ticket, as Judge Bonniwell has plan
ned, in order that a wet candidate
may be substituted in his place.
ASHER r. Johnson, of Mexican
county, nominee for secretary of in
ternal affairs, must not withdraw in
order that Judge Bonniwell may be
helped in making up a complete
ticket of his own selection.
