Post Dispatch Would Defeat Demo
Gratis Who Prevented Unjust
Increase of Taxes on Farm
Lands and Town
1.ntS

The st. Louis Pcst-Dispatch says
that John l.. Sullivan should be de.
fcated for Secretary OF state ana
State Treasurer Geo. II. Middeikamp
should be defeated for State Auditor
MIR. Sullivan was renominated by the
Democratic party without opposi"
ton. and Mr.. Middelkamp,' who IS
noW State Treasurer, was nominated
for State Auditor by plurality al
most as large as the combined vote
cast for the three Democrats who op-
posed him. The sin of these two
democrats. as the Post Dispatch
points out, is that they voted agatns
= full assessmen OF farm lands and
city real estate. while money. notes
and bonds are assessed at about one
twentieth OF their value. ne
rost-Dispatch has selected George l..
iiackmann. the Republican. nominee
for State Auditor to succeed himself,
as 4 man worthy of reelection on
the ground that as a member OF the
State Board of Equalization he voted
for high valuations.
1t is not likely that MI. Hackmann
will thank the Post-Dispatch Tor
singing him out as worthy of r.
election because he voted for high
valuation OF farm lands. while Attor-
ney-General McAllister, Secretary of
State Sullivan and State Treasurer
Middelkamp voted to equalize valua-
ton. to the end that the man who
owned little farm or home in some
city would not pay any more on the
valuation of his property than the
,nillionaires would pay on their high
priced stocks.-From Jefferson City

the American Legion was held
Wednesday at the court house
and there was a big and pleased
attendance. The members of the
entertainment committee are on
the job and there will be some

all the evening There was a
musical program in which the
members of the Peerless Trio par
ticipated and the several numbers
excellently rendered were greatly
appreciated. There was an ath-
letic program that is not to be
made fun of. Incidentally, there
were reports to the effect that the
new foot ball team is in good con-
dition and expects to be better,
and be able to cope with the Berea
team, when the first game is call
ed on November II. There will
be a new home, a minstrel show

ARREST SUSPECT,
RESULT SURPRISE

Wednesday night soon after he had
parked his machine on Main street
near Third, Virgil Gaines did not ap-
preciate the interest being taken in
his automobile by young man wear
ing q soldiers uniform, and he start
ed an investigation. The young man
walked hurriedly away after stating
he mistook the car for one that be-
longed to q friend of his. Later Mr.
Gaines decided to investigate, with
the result that he found he had left
bunch of keys in his auto, and when
the search was made for them they
were not to be found The soldier
was found nearby and, together with
Ben Head, Gaines insisted upon the
young man accompanying them to
the police station.
1t was while en- route to the sta
tion that the fellow swung his cap
around and the bunch of keys belong
ing to Gaines is said to have dropped
out, striking q tree with q jingling
sound. They We're recovered by young
Head, and the police. station was the
next stop. The young man gave what
is belived to be a fictitious name, and
said he was here on furlough. He
was placed in Jail and it is probable
that charge of larceny will be pre-
ferred against him. Mr.. Gaines be-
lieves that the intention of the fellow
was to steal the car. Had it not been
for his discovery that his keys were
missing, he would perhaps have given
the fellow ample time to make off
with the car, he believes.

James Miller Ex-Confederate and
Highly Esteemed. Dies Sud-
denly At Brothers Home

The community was shocked
and deeply grieved early Thurs
day morning, when it became
known that Mr.. James Miller, one
of its most estimable and highly
respected citizens had passed
away at the home of his brother,
Mr.. w. H. Miller, on North street.
Mr., Miller seemed in his usual

of indigestion, surviving only a
few hours.
Mr.. Miller spent most of his life
on the farm near Waco, and his

EXPEDITION NOW
READY FOR START
(By Associated Press)

New York, Nov. 1.-The expedi-
ton sponsored by the American
Museum of Natural History
which will set forth for China
next February, will search not
only for fossils of the ape-man,
regarded by biologists as the
missing link" in the chain of evo-
luton, but will study the aborig-
inal tribes now said to be fast dis
appearing in China.
"We know as little about the
living natives as about the fossil
history of the country" says Roy
Chaman Andrews. who will lead
the expedition. Long before the
Chinese arrived, China was inhab-
tied by aboriginal tribes, which
were pushed south and west just
as the Indians were driven west
ward by white men who advanced
across the American continent.
Remnants of nearly 80 of these
tribes, such as the Lolos, Mosos,
Lisos and others, are rapidly dis
appearing, and the expedition ex-
poets to study them before they
become extinct"
Describing these aborigines
with whom he has hunted, Mr..
Andrews says they are totally un-
like Chinese, having tall and slen-
der bodies. long faces, patrician
noses and other characteristics of
Caucasian blood.

LOCAL HOUND TO
ENTER Big CONTEST
Len Spencer, 15-Months- Old, Re-
cent Prize Winner, To Go In
National Hunt Next Week

There will be one fox hound
from Madison county 20 partici-
pate in the National Fox Hunters
Association meet on november 8,
that will make many of the old
ones look to their laurels, and this
dog is but 15-months-old. Yet he
is the winner of a number of
prizes, the first taken as a result
of the recent meeting of the Cen
trail Kentucky Fox Hunters AS
sociation at College Hill. He is
the property of R. G. Burgess. Of
Cottonburg, and is said to be one
of the finest dogs in the county,
and his record thus far seems to
bear out this statement.
The dog, which will be entered
in the trials, as we'll as the derby
and other events at Crab Orchard
next Monday and contest against
dogs from all parts of the country
is the winner of the hunting and
trailing, as we'll as the endurance
test at the recent meeting, and
had the highest general average,
thus winning the fve-piece trophy
put up by the Association.
The dog is one of the youngest
entrants for the national honors.
His existence was not known un-
til the recent meeting, the first
one in which he entered. His
manner of work and especially en-
durance, besides his general aver
age, attracted the admiration of
many and after the meeting his
owner refused very neat sum for
him. He has later received offers
for the dog which he has refused
1t is said by many that the per-
formance of the dog, his age con-
sidered, was truly remarkable,
and they are of the belief that he
will be represented as one of the
leading hounds of the state. His
name is Len Spencer, and it is
claimed he will protect the entire
state against the removal of some
of the trophies after the big meet
ing
There will be-z-dogs from the
east and -wesf. north and south.
and that he will be the youngest
contender for honors is the gener-
al belief. His percentage is said
to have been 80, almost 100
points ahead of his nearest COM
petitor. He will be seen in most
of the events and those who saw
him work at the recent trials,
have stated they would be on
hand to witness his performance
at the meeting next week.
