COUNTY FAIR MEETING.

On last Friday afternoon there was
a very enthusiastic meeting at the
office. of the undersigned and Dillon
county will surely have a fair this
fall. A large number of people were
present and instead of selling stock
to the amount of $4,000 as provided
for in the charter, resolution was
passed asking that the capital STOCK
be increased TO $4,000, which was
done. Committees were appointed IN
different sections of the county to
get up stock and if the committees DO
not happen TO see everyone we want
you to send in your subscription TO
the secretary at once.
Another meeting will be held on
Friday afternoon at 3 o'clock, March
18th, at which time the ones appoint
ed to get up the additional subscrlp-
tions to the stock will make their re-
ports and We ask all persons who can
possibly do SO TO attend this meeting.
A resolution was passed at the last
meeting that no person could own
over $500 of stock at any one time.
This was done in order that no per-
son could 90 in and buy up all the
stock. We want this TO be a county
wide enterprise and we want ev"ry-
one TO subscribe even If you only t'ne
a small amount. | earnestly ask for
a full attendance on Friday afternoon

rich Wilhelm, elder son of the crown
prince, is a candidate for the throne
and is expected to be proclaimed en-
peror," George Blum, special cores
pondent Of LIE Journal, telegraphs'
from Berlin.
This decision was formulated at
family council presided over by Prince
Adalbert and is supported by Prinse'
Eitel Friedrich. The plot for restora-
tion of the monarchy has been hatch
ed in Berlin by Ludendorff and Hell
ffrich, who have been in close COM

The Doeberitz and Zossens brigad-

TURNED THE PRINCE AWAY.
Cousin of EX-kaiSer Raises Rough
House and is Arrested.

Berlin, March S-Things are not
what they use to be in the former
seat of defunct kaiserism. A warrant
is out for the arrest of a proud
Hohenzollern prince, Joachim, cous-
in of the ex-kaiser. 1t was he who
started the bottle and plate lombard
ment against two French officers in
the Adjoin's dining room Saturday
night when they refused to stand up
in homage TO the tune of "Deutsch-
land Ueber Allies"
But what is even more characteris-
tic of the change of things than the
warrant is what happened to Joachim
when he went back to the Adlon last
night, intending to eat his caviare and
sip his champagne, as if nothing had
happened. The head waiter and the
chief greeted him at the door and told
him politely but firmly that his pres
ence and patronage was no longer
desirable. They were acting as com
mittee of two on behalf of the hotels
"workman's council"
Sorry, sir, you cannot be served
here again." said the head waiter,
Scissor by name.
The prince Strengthened up, affixed
his monocle by way of registering
amazement cleared his throat as a
sort of warning rumble herdling
thunder, then asked with voice
Scarcely less icy than his stare:
What do you mean?
II mean, SIR" said the head waiter,
in tones ever So sauve, but none the
less determined, that you will never
be served in this hotel again, so you
had better not come here. The wait
ers and cooks will go on strike rath-
er than serve you. You are responsible
for what happened here last night.
BY this time a number of other
walters and two or three white cap
ped cooks. had Joined the commit
tee of two.' All were nodding assent
to Scissors words. All were husky
war veterans and seemed ready to
prove it.
With a departing glance of impot-
ent rage mingled with infinite con-
tempt, the irate prince hastened to
see Herr Adlon, the proprietor. In
the old days any complaint about
hired help would have brought
forth deepest apologetic bows and
wholesale dismissals. But these are
different days. Herr Adlon courte-
ously told his highness that he was
unable to oppose the concerted will
of his employees.

DARING AIRMAN
TELLS OF FLIGHT.
West to East at One Hundred to
Three Hundred Miles an
Hour.

New York, March 11-Trade winds
sweeping from west to east at 100 to
800 miles an hour, were discovered at
10000 feet by Maj. Rudolph Shroed-
er, army test pilot at Dayton, Ohio,
before he fell approximately five
miles and landed without crashing af-
ter establishing an altitude record of
36,O26 feet in a recent flight. He re-
ported this discovery on his arrival
today to attend to the National Air
craft show.
"At the peak Of my climb where
hung with slightly upward progress
for Is minutes, I found the winds
blew towards the east at the rate Of
220 miles an hour" he said. II had
started 80 miles west of Dayton, my
machine had a speed of 100 miles an
hour and as I started westward I was
literally travelling backward 120 miles
an hour or two miles a minute.
II have not been able to figure out
exactly what the roof of the world
really is. 1 think it possible to go
much higher than $4,000 feet, which
scientists believe is the ultimate cell
ing of the world. But I believe it to
be question Of fuel supply"
Major Shredder said that after his
months leave was granted him to re-
cover from effects of freezing and car
bon monoxide poisoning suffered
when his oxygen supply failed him,
he would make another aerial ex-
ploration. He added he intended rig
ging up a pilots "cage' into which
oxygen could be pumped.

TEXAS TOWN WIPED OUT.
Fire Destroyes 200 Buildings and
1OOO peonle ara Homeless

Fort Worth, March IA. Grand
View, a farming community Of 1000
inhabitants, SO miles southeast Of this
city, late tonight, was in smouldering
ruins, with more than 1000 of its
residents homeless seven of its eight
blocks of business buildings Destroy
ed and about 200 residences wiped
out by fire which starting this after
noon, famed by 35 miles an hour
wind, was not brought under control
until nearly midnight and then was
still burning fiercely, according to
reports received here.
Latest estimates place the property
loss between s1,50O,000 and $4,000
600. Immediate relief for the home
less was urged.
Fire apparatus was sent to Grand
View from Waxhatchie ,Itasca, Gle
burne and Alverado, but on its arrival
was of no use as the water in the
standpipe gave out an hour after the
fire started.
Indications were that the few re-
naming buildings in the residential
section would be destroyed. Fire de-
partments from Cleburne, Itasca and
Alverado responded to a call for aid,
but the water in the town stand pipe
soon gave out and no dynamite could
be obtained.
After that the firemen were unable
to do anything except watch the town
burn. Automobiles, trucks, wagons
and other vehicles were pressed into
service to carry the homeless to AL
varado and Itasca. Merchandise val
used at hundreds of thousands of dol
lars was piled in the streets, but was
greatly damaged by water and smoke
In shape of V the fire swept
through the city, destroying more
than 200 homes in the residential
section. When the flames reached
Main street, hopes were held that the
business section could be saved, as
the wind was blowing due north, but
the wind veered and the fire was
swept into the business section en-
quilting every building in its eight
blocks. Merchants had virtually no
time to save their stocks.

EX-KAISER SAWS WOOD.
News of Revolution i'm Germany Gives
Him Case of Nerves.

Amorengen, Holland, March IA.
-(By the Associated Press.) = The
tidings of the German counterre%olu-
ton caused a great stir and much
tension in Bentinck where Former
Emperor William resides and the peo-
pie in the castle stayed up until very
late hour Saturday night awaiting
further news.
William Hohenzollern spent part of
the cay. in the garden whCra ne paced
up and down, seemingly absorbed in
deep thought. His excitement found
u.terance in the energy with which he
sawed wood. The correspondent learns
that yesterday he beat his own record
in the number of logs cut in twain.
The news of the counter-revolution
which did not reach the people of Am
orengen, until Saturday evening did
not serve to rouse the peaceful village
from its usual state of Sunday rest.
Except for the fact that three or
four military police from the neigh
boring village Of Veenedaal were
added to the ordinary guard, consist
ing of 20 constables, no special meas
ures have been taken here. Military
police are patrolliRg along the moats
of the castle. AS far as the CORES
pondent has been able to learn, the
Emperor is free to pursue his usual
routine.
Wieringen, Holland, March IA, (By
the Associated Press.) - Former
Crown Prince Frederick William, on
hearing Of the counterrevolution in
Germany became very much excited.
He motored several times into the
village in an endeavor to learn if
Burgomaster Pereboom had later
news from Berlin.
The Hague, March IA, (By the As
sociated Press.) - The Amsterdam
TELEGRAPH today says:
with the evening boat today there
arrived bosom friend of Former
Crown Prince Frederick William,
Freiherr Zoebelitz, who stayed with
Frederick William during the first
months of his exile. He comes
straight from Berlin. The former
crown prince went to meet him in
the harbor. The adjutant of Fred
erick William says this visit has moth
ing to do with present occurrences.

WILL FIGHT BOLSHEVISM.
New German Government Thinks
Probably This Will Be Popular
With Allies.

Berlin, March 1.-THE German

fight Bolshevism to the death. If the
allies allow it, the German militarists
will begin an offensive against the

General Baron Won Luettwitz, revo-.
lutionary military dictator, announc-
ed this in an interview today.
The stage is set for the supreme
test of the new militarist govern.
ment's strength tomorrow. If the
working masses carry out their threat
OF general strike there is sure to be
bloodshed on terrific scale, for the
kapp-Luettwitz internal program is
one of blood and iron.
Any labor disturbances will be re
lentlessly" put down by military
forces, 1t W as officially announced to
night.
The announcements adds the gov
ernment does not intend repeat the
mistake of November, 1913" of be-
ing too lenient.
Striking on the part of public utilf--
ties, such as water, gas and electri-
city works and in any branches of in
dustry necessary to the nation, will be
declared high treason, the penalty for
which is death.

Minister of Defence Luettwitz is-

The revolution is the consequence
of the non-fulfillment of promise by
the Ebert government and the neg
lect of the Bolshevist menace.
"A German army of 100000 is not
sufficient to fight. Bolshevism.
"The new government will resort to
military force in Germany only as a
last refuge.
1--WE wish to maintain good under
standing with the entente, if that be
reconcilable with German honor
The first meeting of the Kapp cabf-
net will take place Tuesday. The new
ministry's position is rendered ex-
tremely difficult by proclamations
from the nationalist and democratic
parties announcing that they WIEN
stand aloof in the present crisis. The
democratic proclamation states:
"A minority leading the blackest re-
action has usurped power. Civil war
is threatening and GermanyS enemies
have an excuse for territorial en-
croachments."
DR.. Kapp has permanently sup
pressed the leading Socialist organ,
Vorwaerts and the radical papers
