DARKTOWN LITERARY
lights" DO SEINE

The Darktown Literary Society
held a protracted meeting at the Her.
man home last Tuesday evening. All
the quality cullud folks were there
from the Pahson to Louisiana Lou,
and LII Snowdrop, who at the be-
Ginning OF the evening had no other
name. but who before the party was
over had annexed Rastus Bones as
well as his name. Aunt Jemima was
in town and so was Martha Washing
Son and lots Of their cronies. The
evening was characterized by a live
ly display of wit and humor, inter
spersed with old familiar darky
songs and syncopated dance tunes
which so affected the ballet girls
toes that they just couldn't keep still.
An imitation of Andy Gump in one Of
his prediction speeches, by an ora
torically inclined young mulato,
brought down the house.
About eleven O'Clock the 'possum
supper for which the darkies' mouths
had been watering for a month, was
brought on, and the Literary Society
had their most enjoyed number.
There was watermelon and chicken,
TOO. Somebody whispered that those
chickens we're found by Rastus and
Sambo one dark night after the city
street lights were out and when Ben
Anderson wasn't looking. But why
attempt to describe a bang-up
cullud quality suppah. Old Noah
Webster himself would run short of
adjectives.
When it came to giving prizes for
the best costume the judges couldn't
and names were drawn.
Sistah Mandy Norby was the lucky
to catch the chicken, and
Rogers got the prize for cake
walking.
Hostesses for the party were Mrs.
Herman, Miss McAleer and Miss
OOnaghue. The next meeting of the
Literary Society, usually spoken Of
as the Study Club will be Tuesday
evening, November Il.

z 0SWEGO MEN KILLED
AS MAIL TRUCK UPSETS

Glasgow, Oct. 3O.-Arnold Slower
and Annint Stout, both of Oswego,
were killed early Wednesday night
when a United States mail truck in
which they were passengers %overturn-
ed on a hill south of Opheim. The
truck, which was driven by Joe
Brown, stalled near the top of the
hill and getting beyond Browns con-
troll, backed down and turned over,
killing one instantly and the other
dying before he was rescued from
the wreckage.
Brown, the driver managed to
jump from the car before it upset, as
did Jack O'Malley, another passenger
in the machine. O'Malley, a few
minutes before, had changed places
with one of the men who was later
killed.
The driver had shouted for all to
jump from the truck when he found
he had lost control, but Slower and
Stout were unable to get clear of the
machine and we're pinned under it as
it turned over.

Roosevelt Sugar
Beets Test Best

j. c. Dryer was here yesterday j IN
the interests of his candidacy for the
office of Sheriff. Mr.. Dwyer is a
sugar beet enthusiast and says that
recently he sent some samples of his
beets to Billings to be tested. They
tested 10 per cent sugar, the best
test of any beets in the state, 17R
being the next best. Mr.. Dwyer had
in just a small patch of sugar beets,
but the yield from this patch was suf-
ficient to show that they would go
20 tons to the acre. Mr.. Dwyer will
have some of his beets on exhibition
at the Corn Show.

COUNCIL REFUTES
GREENUP'S STORY
AFFIDAVIT FALSE IN ALL
ESSENTIAL FEATURES
STILL OUT $500.

C. L. Council, undersheriff of
Roosevelt County, referring to the
affidavit of one w. H. Greenup,
published in the Roosevelt County
Independent and the Producers
News, desires to say that any de-
mands for money backed up by
threats of arrest are concerned, Mr..
Greenup's statement was false and
without foundation. But in order
that the public may understand Mr..
Greenup's connection with the case
and what really happened Mr.. Coun-
Gil wishes to state the essential facts.
After the disappearance of Alice
Finger, Greenup was taken to the
place where she was hiding by Peter
Jeanette. Greenup appeared greatly
interestd in sending the girl away
and suggested his sisters home near
Williston as the best place for her to
go. He couldn't take her there him
self, but he got Helmer Larson with
q car who did. When the deputy,
sent after the girl, was unable to find
her at the place she was supposed
to be, special officer Lauritson
brought Greenup to the sheriff's of
flee. Deputy Council said to Green
Up that being the one chiefly res
ponsible for sending the girl out of
the state, it was up to him to find
her and get her back. He told Green
up he was to go to Williston and get
the girl. Greenup agreed to do so,
but said he had no money. Number
4 was due in 10 minutes, Council
wrote a check for $40, took Green
up to the depot, bought him a ticket
to Williston and gave him the bal
ance of the check in cash. The girl
was located in Williston that night
and Greenup returned with deputy
Trenne and her the next morning.
A short time after that Council
met Greenup on the depot platform
and Greenup handed Council $500
saying he had that left out of what
Council had given him when he start
ed to Williston. Council took occas-
sion to say to Greenup that he was
the one responsible for sending the
girl away and thereby causing the
expense of finding her and getting
her back, and "by rights he should
pay all the expense of the case" He
did not demand that Greenup pay
it, but said that he ought to pay it.
No threats of arrest were made. The
five dollars given Council by Green
up was a return of part of the loan
he had made him, the other five not
been paid up to the present
Further than the above Mr.. Coun-
Gil states that Mr.. Greenup's affi-
davit has no semblance of truth.

Buses Should
Supplant Trolley
Public Utilities Engineer Says the
Suburban Line Might be Scrap
ped-Two Lines Superfiuous.

Col. Philander Belts, chief engineer
|of the state board of public utilities,
declared in an interview following the
hearing at Trenton on Tuesday on the
proposed trolley fare boosts, that in
his opinion the Suburban line between
Somers Point and Absecon should be
abandoned rather than that the fares
should be raised.
Buses could take care of the Shore
road from Absecon TO Pleasantville,
while the Shore Fast Line could take
care of the Somers Point section of
Shore road without the need of in
creasing fares" Col. Belts said. He
has had much experience in trolley
matters.
Two lines paralleling each other
from Pleasantyille to Somers Point
with only a short distance separating
the rival tracks is neither economical
nor useful" he continued. "It is no
justification for increasing the fares
on both lines" Col. Belts did not say
that he would recommend this action
to the public utilities commission But
the inference is that he will The
opinion was based on his study of the
evidence.
''Supt. Goldey said on the witness
stand" continued Col Belts, that for
his company to substitute a bus line
for the present trolley line would be
to scrap the considerable investment
of the company. But the fact is the
public has scrapped the investment al
ready. To continue a losing game,
even with higher fares, would be
throwing good money after bad which
the public would be paying for. There
is neither justice no good business in
that"
Former Judge Harry Osborn, chair
man of the commission. said practical
ly the same thing. The hearing will
be resumed Oct 81, when counsel for
the Mainland municipalities will sub
NIT their evidence to the commission
in opposition to the proposed fare
boost.
