Tiny Voting District Made
Necessary by New
Regulations.

There will be one precinct in
Marion county with scarcely enough
voters to man the election board.
A part of Center township along
Massachusetts avenue and outside
Indianapolis found itself virtually
left in the lurch because of the new
election regulations made necessary
by combining city and general cleo
tons in the same year.
Under ordinary circumstances
the section, which contains only
eight houses, would be made a part
of the Twenty-siXth precinct
the First ward in Indianapolis. The
territory can not be added to anoth-
err rural precinct because it is
bounded on the east by Warren
township. Residents of the eight
houses can not vote for Indianapolis
city officials, nor for Warren town
ship officials.

favorable possible estimate for

Where is this flood cf goods

The answer is that the extra

To foreign observers here it ap-
pears there may be two alterna-
tives:
First, deflation, that is, a break
in prices, with bankruptcies, fall
in production and renewed unem-

Second, initiation, with contin.

FAIRFAX ESTATE
To Be SITE Of
D|ST|LLERY

Virginia's fine old estates have
been put to almost every purpose
under the sun in recent years, but
it remained for a Fairfax county
resident who came to the Old Do
minion from the Kentucky blue.
grass country to find a new one
the manufacture of bonded whisky.
That is what A: Smith Bowman,
prominent Fairfax county sports
man. is now preparing to do with
his great old 4,000-acre estate, Sum-
set Hills.
Mr.. Bowman, who came to Sun
set Hills about eight years ago,
will soon begin manufacture Of
bourbon whisky at the rate Of
1000 gallons day, having just re-
ceived his distiller's permit.
To Make Own Barrels
The unique part about Mr.. Bow
mans enterprise, however, is not
that it will be one of the two or
three distilleries in Virginia, but
that practically everything which
is necessary to operation of the
plant will come right from his
own estate. The only things Mr..
Bowman will be unable to produce
are bottles, corks and labels.
Everything else will be manufac-
tured or raised right at Sunset
Hills.
The distillery itself, a soapstone
factory which is so years old, is
now being remodeled. Grains will
be raised on the farm, barrels will
be made at Mr.. BowmanS own
Sawmill from trees felled in the
extensive timber tracts of the
estate. The warehouses in which
the whisky will be stored for age
ing will be four old buildings,
which will be remodeled. One Of
them once served as a town hall.
will Have Big Pay Roll
About 100 men will be employed
in the plant and its supporting
industries when the plant opens
late in December or early in Janu-
ary. Several hundred more will
be needed within a year, Mr.. Bow
man estimates.
The majority will be employed
in pursuits other than the actual
distillation and will live in homes
which Mr.. Bowman proposes to
erect on his property. His son,
DeLong Bowman, will be manager
Of the enterprise.
Mr.. Bowman began preparing
