SATURDAY, OCT. 1ST

Pursuant to call the Democratic
Executive Committee for Smith
County met at the court house in Car
image at noon last Monday. The
Committee was organized by re-elect-
ing L. B. Flippen chairman and w.
A. Hall secretary
One of the most important matters
attended to by the Committee was
the selection Of the date to hold the
primary election for the purpose of
of nominating County officers. The
date fixed for the primary to be held

pearing to be most satisfactory to
the announced candidates and the

IS the last day on which candidates
may qualify for entering the prima-
ry. In other words, if you want to
get in the primary this fall you must
qualify by paying the required fee
to either the chairman or secretary
of the committee by noon on Satur-
day, August 9th.
The qualification fees for candidates
were fixed as follows: Circuit Court
Clerk, Sheriff and Register, $500 for
Trustee $500; for County Court Clerk
$1,000
L. B. Fhppen, W. A Hall, H. T.
Key, Will High and r. M. Hatcher.
were appointed as a subcommittee
to select the officers to hold the pri-
mary election and canvass the returns
of said election. Also, the rules and
regulations governing the primary
were adopted, and these rules will be
published in this paper at later date.
The actions of the committee were
harmonious and all the Democrats
present appeared to be in a good hu-
NOR in spite of the exceeding hard
times that are now prevailing through
out the country.

SEEMS LIKE THEY
CAN BE BEAT

Last week this paper carried a
head line to the effect that it looked
like the Carthage baseball team could
not be beat, up to that time they hav-
ing lost only one game of the large
number played. But since that time
Livingston has been here and taken
one game eff a 2-game series. Last
Friday when Carthage met the gang
from Livingston on the local field
they easily captured the affair, the
score resulting for Carthage and
two for Livingston But on Saturday
it was too much or too many "Miles, !"
fer that gentleman named Miles and
who was hurting for the visitors GER
tainly was stingy with his hits, and
Carthage on that occasion was shut
out while the visitors piled up seven
runs Lots of alibis could be offered,
but what's the use. Nobody should
expect, even the Carthage team, to win
them all.
Last Monday the Carthage team
left for 4-day road trip, going first
to Seottsville, KY, where they met
and defeated the team of that city
by a score of and 2, but on Tuesday
the Carthagenians lost to Scottsville
by the score of 4 to g. Wednesday
the Carthage players moved over to
Franklin, KY, where they lost bat
tie to Franklin, to 2. The Carthage
team will play another game with
Franklin today Thursday and to-
morrow and Saturday, Aug. II and
10, they win play the Scottsville team
on the local field. These will be fast
ball games and large crowds are ex-
pected to see them. Games will be
called at 3 o'clock each afternoon.

Proved on Harvest Hands.

Wichita, Kas., Aug. s.-During the
last two months railroad banditry
has secured firm hold in this sec

holding up harvest hands and reliev-

Freight trains were used as the chief
mode of travel by large majority of

freights that "highjackers" worked.
"Highjacking" was brought to .
climax in this vicinity Wednesday
night when ten persons, including
harvest hands, negro er-soldiers and
two alleged train bandits fought a
battle aboafd a fast moving Rock
