PROSPECT
WITH VIEW OF LOCATING
Returned Home Well Pleased With
Both Town and County.

A party of Tennesseeans interested
in this section spent two weeks in
Dawson recently prospecting with a
view to making investments in Ter
rell county lands. Mr.. and Mrs. Wake
field and daughter, who have been
boarding with Mrs. j. H. Whitchard,
returned Thursday to their home in
Nashville, Tenn. Mr.. A. L. Willis,
who was here looking over the situa-
ton with a view of entering business
in Dawson, has also returned to- his
Tennessee home after spending some
time in the city. 1t is understood
that these prospectors were greatly
impressed with the fertility of the
soil, but prices of land were far be-
yond what they had expected.

THE DARK HORSE

In the presidential election of 1910
the Democrats ran Martin Van Buren,
against William Henry Harrison,
Wing candidate. A hot campaign fol-
lowed. Harrison had lived in log cab
ins and was liberal with hard cider,
so his boosters erected log cabins ali
over the country and made much
scandal by 'the terrible amount of
hard cider drunk at the political
meetings in them"
Harrison was elected and the bit
ter political fight died off IN nation
al laugh at the one vote received in
the electoral college by James X.
Polk, aspirant for the vice presiden-
cy.
Four years later at the Democratic
convention in Philadelphia, Van Bu-
rem had Il majority on the first ballot.
A majority of two-thirds benig nee
essary to nominate, his name was
withdrawn after the eighth ballot. Out
trotted Polk, the first American presi
dental Dark Horse, and the ninth
vote was unanimous for him. He was
elected president
The Democratic convention in Bal
simore, 1852, got dcadloched. After
3o ballotinEs, in came Dark Horse
Franklin Pierce. The forty-ninth bal
.ot unanimously made him candidate.
He became president, defeating Gen
eral Scott and carrying all but four
states.
This Dark Horses race for the
presidency almost caused civil war.
He got only 4,033,295 votes against
Tilden's 4,2S4,265, and Tilden had a
majority of 157,397 votes over his
combined opposition. But in the Elec-
torial College Hayes had 1876 votes
against Tilden's 1874. To settle argu-
ment an Electoral Commission was
created by special law. It consisted
of five from the Republican Senate,
i've from the Democratic House and
i've from the Supreme Court. Hayes
won the decision.
In the Republican convention of
1860, two-thrds of the delegates
were pledged for William H. Seward.
Seward was the giant of his party.
Greedy was out, hammer and tongs to
lick him. After much balloting the
convention unanimously endorsed
the greatest of all Dark Horses-Ab
raham Lincoln who was then little
known outside his own state, and in
the east was rdiculed.
In 1880 the Republican National
Convention was in Chicago. The first
ballot showed this vote: Grant 3O4,
Blaine 2S4, Sherman 93, Edmunds 34,
WashDurne 30, Window 10. A fero-
cious political fight burst forth. On
the thirty-siNth and final ballot, Dark
Horse Garfield of Ohio won 800
votes and was nominated.
BY curious coincidence the Repub-
licanS will soon hold another national
convention in Chicago with candi-
dates lined up about as they were in
1880. The spccter of the Garfield
nomination haunts the air and the
ouiJa board says that Johnson, Wood
and company are spending uneasy
nights. Five times convention dead
lock has been broken by unexpected
or obscure Dark Horses. Hark, Do
we hear Il paving in yonder stall?

ROAD BUILDERS STUDY SOILS
Highway Engineers Expected to OBJ
tain Important Information by
Investigation.

An investigation which promises to
place at the disposal of highway en-
gineers important information regard
ing the relation of soils to highway
durability has been undertaken by the
bureau of public roads, United States
department of agriculture. This work
includes taking samples of soil at
spots in the subgrade of q highway
where the road has begun to fail,
studying surrounding geological con-
dttlons to determine how moisture ar
rived in the subgrade, thus destroy
ing its value; making laboratory
tests to determine the physical char
acteristics Of soils, and obtaining a
scientific measures of the bearing value
OF soils. In this investigation 1t is pro-
posed to obtain as much cooperation
as possible from the various state
highway departments. The bureau of
soils is cooperating with the bureau
of public roads in this work.
Preliminary investigation has been
started in Maryland ON the Washing
ton-Baltimore road, and will be ex-
tended beyond Baltimore and on other
roads in Maryland. Progress has been
made in the matter Of laboratory tests,
number Of samples of subgrade
material and other samples already
having been examined.
The federal highway engineers point
out that soils differ widely in their
ability to support loads, particularly
when they are wet. Just why this is
true and just what are the character
istics which make them different is
little understood at present. 1t is In
