"K" BRANDED IN ACID
ON VICTIMS FACE
White-Robed Gang Clubs Man Who
Refuses to Admit Abusing
Mother.

WaynesbOro, Pa, Sept 16.-Because
he was generally supposed to have
mistreated his mother, william Hol-
lingsworth, a Waynesboro laborer, is
keeping close to home and seeing no
visitors. n his cheeks, forehead and
chin the letter TX" is branded with
some chemical, his hair and mustache
are shaved and his whole body is sore
from beating.
1t all began Aug. 20 when Hollings-
worth's mother was taken to the poor
house. 1t was charged the son had
neglected her and he admits her hair
had to be cut because it was so mat
ted It could not be combed.
Tuesday night party of men he
did not know called on Hollingsworth
and told him the Sheriff wanted to
speak to him about paying his mothers S
board. Hollingsworth got into the
car and was driven into the country.
The car stopped on side road
where fifteen or twenty white.robed
and masked figures stood They took
Hollingsworth across field and
began questioning him,
When he denied everything they
knocked him down and beat him with
sticks. Then his hair was cut and one
side of his mustache removed. Still
he denied mstreating Mrs. Hollngs
worth and now there was talk of hang
ing him.
But instead he was branded with
acid and let to walk home. Physi
clans cannot say what acid was used
but they do not believe the scars are
permanent.

REPRESENTATIVE
CONTEST WITH
8 CANDIDATES
SALISBURY Getting Ready For
Old Time Election
MIX-UP AT THE PRIMARY
Democrats Get Their Candidate
Properly Nominated and
Others Have Time

The town Of SALISBURY has a mix.
up In a three cornered representa-.
tive contest partly due to misunder.
standing of the primary law. 1t is
not so serious, however, but that It
can be Strengthened ont before elec.
tion.
The three candidates are Charles
r. Hawkins, Democrat, Merle Coulter.
Republican, and Smith Harris. lnde
pendent Actually only one of the
three Mr. Hawkins has been yet leg
ally nominated but the Republicans
have the power to nominate Mr.. Coul
ter by caucus and the supporters. OF
Mr.. Harris can file his name as an
Independent cand date.
Because OF not knowing the proyis-
ions Of the primary law, SALISBURY
Republicans undertook to nominate
Mr.. Coulter by stickers Tuesday and
the Harris supporters actually filed
a petition for him as an Independent.
The provision Of the primary law
in this connection is should no per
son be nominated at the primary for
an office. e............. In the case o.
a candidate for representative to the
general assembly .......a party eau.
Gus shall be called not later than fif.
teen days before election. In case such
caucus is held, the nominations shall
be made by ballot. conforming as far
as is possible to the primary plan
specified in this act. and the ballot
box shall remain open not less than
two hours"
The primary law leaves independ-
ent nominations precisely as they were
before the primary Ict was passed and
persons wishing to file independent" !,
Citizens Good Government or any
other especially designed representa-
tive candidacy can file such candid.
acy up to fifteen days before the
November election. The primary law
applies only to parties which poll
more than five percent OF the vote
at a general election.
In SALISBURY Mr.. Hawkins is legally
nominated as the Democratic candid.
ate, The Republicans can hold a eau.
Gus and nominate Dir Coulter or who
ever they chose but he is not nom
mated by the votes he got last Tues
day. The supporters Of Mr. Harris can
fla his nomination az an Independent
or with any designation other than
that Of Republican or Democrat, pro.
vided they do It not later than iii.
teen days before the election in Nov
ember The filing of his name before
the primary was a mistake.
In Readsboro neither party had a
candidate for representative in the
primary and both parties will un
doubtedly nominate by caucus later
Other towns in the state failed to
nominate representatives..
The Republicans of Bennington
county have no candidate for High
Bailifr. On Tuesday few people
wrote in names OF their choice for
this office but even a thousand votes
in this way would nit have nominated
him because no petitions were fled.
The vacancy can be filled by the coun-
ty committee of the Republican party
or by a convention called for the
PURPOSE.
The primary law is not difficult to
understand but is comparatively new
and situations arising which have not
been experienced before cause con
fusion.
