The New York committee Of safety.
now in session here, has received in
formation today Of the complete de.
struction of the American fleet on
Lake Champlain in the battles Of Oc-
tober IL and 13. The news came
from Gems. Gates and Arnold to Gen.
Philip Schuyler at Albany. who re.
layed that the naval disaster will
surely be followed by British ad-
vance upon Fort Ticonderoga, il not
also by an invasion Of the Hudson
Valley from Albany to New York.
Only the lateness OF the season. it Is
agreed. could discourage the King q
generals from pushing their present
advantage.
The committee is not inclined to
intrust the States safety to the single
chance that Sir Guy Carleton will
turn back toward Canada because
Winter is coming. It will. therefore
send II Of it's members to Albany to
cooperate with Gen. Schuyler in re-
pellink the anticipated invasion of
our northern and western borders.
This committee has power to call out
the entire militia Of six counties and
assemble them wherever they may be

DECKER A MEMBER OF
PROBE COMMITTEE

AT recent meeting of the Demo
cratic State Central Committee, reso-
luton was adopted authorizing the
appointment Of a committee to examine
the party rules and the Brundidge pri-
mary law with view to determining
whether further amendments are de-
sirable. The committee named under
this resolution is composed of Chair
man W. T. Hammock, T. z. Oliver Of
Union county, Judge William i. Fish
of Crittenden county, j. Frank Carson
of Marion county Joe Decker of, Ran
dolph county and Senator Greed Cald-
well of Jefferson county.
The contests which, in several coun-
ties, resulted from the August primary
were enough to show either that new
should be taken for the better enforce
ment of present regulations. The hear
ing of these contests revealed, not any
classifying of returns, but various fail
ures to compel strict observance with
the rules. Unqualified voters were al
lowed to cast ballots and ballots that
under the law were defective were
counted as valid.
There was not necessarily any dis
elimination between rival candidates
in the receiving and counting of bal
lots that We're defective or that were
cast by unqualified voters. But some
contests showed that hundreds of such
ballots had been east and showed the
need for general Tightening up Of
primary election machinery.

Jesse A. Gray was arrested at Swift
ton last week by the city marshal,
who turned the prisoner over to
Sheriff Perrin here. Gray was indict-
ed by the Randolph county grand jury
on charge of disposing of mortgaged
property. He left the country and
had not been apprehended.
Sheriff Perrin asked bond of $1,000
to insure Gray's appearance at circuit
court in January. Being unable to
make bond here, Gray was accOmpan-
led to Melbourne by Deputy d. e. Jack
son. There the bond was made and
the prisoner released.
Slim Farr, who lives near Lone Oak
church, was arrested by Sheriff Per-
rims forces this week, under an indict-
ment returned two years ago, charging
forgery. He was released under 81, 900

Mr. Perrin is making a determined
effort to clean up the old indictments
and, during the past few months, has
made commendable progress.
