He was great man, but leper.
He was held in high esteem by the
king, because through him the Syri-
ans had been delivered from their enc

general but was very brave man
valorous Every unregenerate man,
regardless of his gifts and possessions,
has this one fatal defect. He may be
mighty warrior, a great orator,
gifted writer, man of profound learn

is an unbeliever in Christ, he is lost

This was a Jewish maid who had
been captured by marauding Syrian
troops who made frequent incursions
into Israel's land for the purpose of
plumber. Daniel at a later date was
carried away captive, and he likewise
was used Of God to bless many. Jo-
seph is another example Of one who
was put into hard place, but became
blessing to others, even to the saw
ing of his brothers, who sold him. This
Jewish maid pointed out to this great
man the One who could heal him.

THE PRIMARY

Perhaps more interest was mani
tefed in Tuesdays primary than in
any primary held in the county in
many years. The campaign for the
vaSious offices had been strenuous
and as a result large vote was
polled. This was the first primary in
which the women took part and they
were out in force.
Reports from different parts of the
state indicate that Senator Reed is
leading his opponent Breckenridge
Long for the senatorial nomination
on the early returns. Returns from
rural districts will probably show a
heavy gain for Long and the Long
men are claiming the state.
s. c. Dickinson has defeated John
B4dwin for the congressional NOM
netion by considerable majority.
Enodgrass leads Phillips for the
state senatorial nomination by about
6o0 votes in the county, and reports
from Clinton say that Phillips con-
cedes the nomination of Snodgrass.

Mrs. ]. H. Sacre Dies of Heart
Railure.

Mrs. ]. H. Sacre, one of Charlotte
townships oldest and best loved cit
liens, died at the Virginia store
shortly after noon Monday, July 81,
as the result of an attack of heart
failure. She was talking with some
friends when she suddenly slipped
to the floor and was dead when
picked up.
Mary Sacre was the daughter of
the late J. S. Woodfin, one of Bates
county's pioneer citizens and was
born in this county December I6,
1883. Her entire life had been spent
in the county and the news of the
sudden taking away came as shock
to the many friends she had made
who deeply sympathize with the be-
reaved family.
Funeral services were held at the
home in Charlotte township, few
miles southwest of Virginia,
Wednesday morning by Rev. Will
hanson, of this city, and interment
made in the Woodfin cemetery, near
Foster.

LOCALS TAKE SUNDAY GAME
In A One Sided Game Locals Win
From HarrisOnville 10

The game Sunday between Butler
and Harrisonville was one sided af-
fair, the locals winning by score Of
10. The game was ours from the
first inning and the feature was the
hitting of Phillips, who chalked up
three hits to his credit. The locals
started right in playing their best
brand of ball and kept it up until the
last man was out in the ninth.
A change was made in the infield,
placing Payton on second. This made
a big improvement. With Phillips
at third, Williams at short, Payton
at second and good man at first, our
infield would be in a class by itself.
The outfield could be improved. Mil
ler looks like a conner and takes right
in after everything that comes his
way, accepting every chance. If he
keeps on improving he will be heard
from in ball circles.

Poland China Show at Butler
Free Fair.

The Butler Free Fair Board CO.
operating with the Poland China
breeders OF that locality, have ar
ranged ior a special litter show, to
be held in connection with the Fair
at Butler. October SO, according to
C. H. Smith, of Butler, who is Sec
retary.
A purse OF $500 has been provid-
ed, over and above the open class
money, which will be awarded in ten
prizes on litters OF four pigs from the
same iarrow. The first prize will
amount to $4o while the tenth prize
is S.. The Fair Board and the pro-
motion organization of the Poland.
China breed each guarantee half OF
the purse.
According to Ira Drymon, County
Agent. of Butler, at least ten herds
must be nominated before the show
is assured, and he reports that he
has secured the nomination with a
S. fee each, from the following own
ers Of herds in his locality: d. E.
Brakeman. Lakeside Hog Farm, w.
A. Baker & Son, w. H. Clements.
Roy Baker, Frank Allen & Son.
Schaefer Bros, and c. w. Calvert, OF
Butler;- Kenney Bros. OF Spruce and
Ed Sheehy, of Hume.
The advantage of such a litter
show. according to Mr.. Drymon, is
that larger numbers OF swine are
drawn to the Fair. and new breeders
are induced to exhibit. All the ami,
mails exhibited in the show must be
spring pigs. pure-bred. and record
ed before the Fair.

MOVE BLIND ACROSS TURKEY
Children From tho American
School to Syria.

Aleppo, Syria.-One hundred blind
children from the American school
for the blind at Harpoot have arrived
here safely after q 5OOmile hike
across the Turkish interior, during
which they passed through mountains
infested with bandits and over long
stretches of desert where camels car
ried water and provisions.
The children are from seven to If
teen years old. The irregular pilgrim
age is part of the plan Of the Near
East relief to remove several thou
sand Armenian orphans from Asiatic
Turkey. The journey from HarpOot
took a month to complete. On the
last 20 miles the children f1oated down
the Euphrates on barges- They now
are housed in the re-established school
in Aleppo, which ia the capital of
Syria under the French mandate.

LIVE MAN IN HEARSE
Driver of the Conveyance Heard
STRANGE Cries From Within.

Strange Cries From Within.
Visions of spOOks entered the mind
of a hearse driver at Salem. Ore.
when he heard the cries of a man APP
parently echoing from within the
closed carrier AT the time of the
strange occurrence, the driver was
on his way to the country to answer
death call The driver at first
thought he was the victim of a hal
luciation, but as the cries continued
he decided to investigate.
Leaving his seat the driver rushed
to the rear of the hearse and opened
the door. Out jumped man. and ex-
plantations followed. The man said he
had been assigned to make some re-
pairs, and had been given no notice
that the hearSe was to leave the
garage The rear door was slammed,
and the workman was temporarily
imprisoned.
The roar of the engine drowned out
the mans cries, and the hearse was
several miles from the city before he
could attract the attention of the
driver.

Their Respective NationaIities Are

York Harbor Until Midnight When
the Bars Are Let Down for Another
Month-Quotas of Africa, Palestine,

may be admitted each month until the
quota has been filed Hence, since that
| time the bars had been up and immf-
| grafton had been at a standstill. But
| July / meant another year, and another
quota.
Already the quotas of Africa, Pales-
tine. Greece. Albania, Armenia, and
"other Asia" are filled. For a month
no more natives of these countries will
be admitted, and then will start new
rush. In fact. steamships on the other
side of the Atlantic are preparing their
sailing schedules so that they may slip
in as soon as the bars are again lifted.
Arriving on this side, the ships lie
outside the harbor until after midnight
on the day when the bars are let down,
and then comes the last and most ex
citing dash to land their passengers at
quarantine, where the immigrant
leaves the vessel and boards one of the
huge barges which stand alongside to
take them to Ellis Island.
Examined at Ellis Island.
Ellis Island, the gateway to America,
is the borderland to the immigrant.
Once past the island, and all is well,
but to many Ellis Island is their one
glimpse of the promised land. Nearly
every nationality under the sun may
be found at the island, either newly
arrived or else being held for Observa-
ton. A veritable babel of tongues Is
heard, for few of the immigrants are
SO frightened by the strangeness OF
their new surroundings that they can
not talk
At Ellis Island the immigrants are
classified and tagged, and undergo 4
most searching physical, mental and
financial examination. Dreaded typhus,
trachoma, and other diseases are care
fully guarded against, and any immi-
grant showing the slightest symptom OF
any Of these diseases is Immediately
barred. A staff of trained physicians
and nurses is constantly on duty to
guard against any one with communica-
ole diseases slipping in.
Uncle Sam is also very particular
about the financial resources of the
aliens who are constantly knocking
It the gates, and unless they can prove
hat they will not become public
charges they are refused admittance.
Many, using their life savings to pay
or their transportation, and not know
ng Of the stringent rulings, are turned
Jack to begin life all over again In
he towns which they had hoped to
cave far behind them.
Mentality tests are no less severe, 80,
wen though the vessel carrying him
|oeS win the race, the immigrant is
ever sure that he will walk past the
ates into the promised land until he
las passed the tests at Ellis Island
nd pronounced fit to become citizen
