A business visitor to Belfast within
a few days was William Ii. knight Of
Lincolnville. 81 years old, who walked
from his home distance of IA miles.
and after attending to several matters
made the return trip as he came, on
foot. Mr.. knight has walked a great
deal all his four score years and thinks
nothing of 10 or a dozen miles over
the rough country roads, claiming that
it tires him less to walk than to motor.
He was member Of the gallant 26th
Maine Regiment of Volunteers. which
was one of the crack regiments in
the Civil War. during which he walked
many last long mile, and today is
able to outdistance many a man half
his age. He was 81 when he enlisted
in Co. G. He was in the battle of Irish
Bend, April IA. also at Port Hudson
June ID, 1868. and was one of the men
who took part in the 43 days march up

tiers and six sons. BY trade he is a

MAN HAS FIGHT
 WITH LARGE, HUNGRY EAGLE

Tom Bevers of Anchorage had an exciting fight with a large bald eagle while hunting on the Susitna flats recently. He noticed the bird flying around after flock of ducks. He had fired both barrels at the ducks and a moment later the eagle, with harsh cry, wheeled about in the air and att tackled him. Bevers hit the bird with his gun barrels. The eagle scared short distance away and circled the lone hunter Bevers recharged his gun and when the bird made another lightning swoop at him pulled trigger when it was about 20 feet away. The bird fell, raking long rent in Bever's hunting coat. He stunned the bird and dispatched it.

PRIMARIES BUGBEAR 0F THE OLD TIME
 POLITICAL PARTIES

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.-The pres idential primary, now the vogue in a full score of states, not only has be- come the bugbear of the old time pol itician but has also accomplished the rout of the time-honored practice of delaying the announcement of candi- dacies until the last possible moment in order to size up the field. Today in many states candidates must get off the fence many weeks before the national convention and say wheth- CT they will or they will not.
 The beginning of the 1924 primary season now is a bare five months off, and the filing of papers required of candidates in many cases already has become burning question among those who cannot decide whether or not they hear the popular call Such decisions must be made much earlier than in times gone by, and as a con- sequence of the spread of the primary system the next few weeks, are ex- pected to see the crop of candi- dates reach stage much more ad- vanced than the average for pre- sidential years in the past.
 The first primary, that in New Hampshire will be held March H. North Dakota will follow a week later and seven additional states controll- ing some of the largest delegations that sit in national conventions will have voted before the end of April. Here is the full list of those having presidential primary laws, with the dates for the primary election of all parties.
 California, Tuesday, May 6.
 Florida, Tuesday, June 3.
 Georgia, to be fixed by state com mittees.
 Illinois, Tuesday, April 8.

 The presidential primary law of Florida does not apply to a party vot- ing less than 35 per cent of the total vote in the previous general election. This eliminates the Republican par ty from a presidential primary and leaves it's delegates to be chosen by convention in that state.
