general to tlio members of tho execu
tive committee oL tlio Btalo (jriuiKo
who visited him at his office Satur
dny afternoon. Mr. Crawford holds
in it yritten opinion tiint lliu several
counties have no authority to cull
Hpeciul eleelioim for the purpose oL
orentiong n debt for tlio building of
permanent roads, or for any purpoHo
excepting in certain canes specifical
ly provided for nn for the purpose of
Huhjnilting (he question of the creii
tiou and maiutennucu of county high
bcIiooIb or for prohibiting the Hiilo
of liquor under the local otiou law
Consequently the grange will pro
cecd to formulate legislation pyrtuiu
ing to good roads which thoy will sub
mit to the eleutorn at the general elec
tion in 1012. Just the nature of this
legislation is not known at this time
principally for the reason that it has
not yet taken definite form but it will
have for its object to iuitliorix.it the
counties to eiil special elections to
issue bonds or create other indebted
ness for the purpose of building por-
mnucnt roads.
Attorney General's Report.
In his opinion the attorney general
finds as follews:
"The offcol of this amendment
considered in connection with the
original section is to remove the limi
tation of $5000 on the authority of
tlio counties to incur indebtedness,
for the purpose of building perma
nent roads within the county, hut
also places the limitation upon in
debtedness incurred for this pur
pose, that it shall be incurred only
on approval of u majority of those
voting on the question. The question
submitted submitted is whether the
county can cull a special election to
submit this question of inntirring sueli
additional indebtedness.
"1 find no provision either in the
constitution or any of the statutes
authorizing u county to call a special
eloetion for this purpose or for any
purpouo of Huhiuittiug the question of
tlio creation of and maintenance of
oounty high schools, county hiith
school fund, etc. . 3 Mill
WASHINGTON, U. C, March 25.
Although the very vitals of the old
battleship Texas was torn out by
bursting shells from other war ves
sels in the gun firing tests in Chesa
peake bay recently, "Ilig Tom" and
"Henry the Fifth," the only living
things left o board the vessel, es
caped serious injury. While it is
true that a fragment from a bursting
shell snipped off one of "Hig Tom's"
legs., ho will soon be as good as new,
for Secretary Meyer has ordered
navy surgeons to prepare him a
wooden leg which experts will bind
to the wound. Aside from having his
outer covering slightly ruflled
"Henry the Fifth" escaped injury.
"Uig Tom" is a black Langsliaii
rooster, and "Henry the Fifth" is a
Tom cat. They were left on board
to test the fate of live things on the
target battleship.
When Secretary Meyer went
aboard the dismantled warship be
found the rooster standing aloft on
one leg, crowing lustily.

LONDON, March 25. Colliding to
day in the English channel in a
dense fog, the French steamer Uor
deauville and the Scotch steamer
Irishrook were so badly damaged that
both sank within a few minutes. The
crews and passengers of both ves
sels were gotten into the boats with
difficulty, and within a short time
were picked up by other vessels
called by wireless to the scene of the
disaster.

Building & Loan association held
Thursday night, John 1. Hutler, for
merly of Monticello, HI., was ap
pointed mauuger. His appointment
marks the first tsep of the institution
toward bringing itself more immedi
ately before the notice of the people
of the Hoguo river valley. Mr. Hut
ler will at once begin an active ad
vertising mid soliciting campaign in
behalf of the association.
The nssociation has enjoyed an
exceedingly prosperous existence
sinee its organization over two years
ago. The folowing aro tho officers
of thonsseciution: Hort Anderson
president; F. W. Hollis, vice presi
dent; If. F. Piatt, secretary, M. L.
Alvord, treasurer, and C. C. Hoggs,
attorney. The board of directors
comprises the ubove named officers
together with ('. M. Kidd, W. J. Rob
erts and William S. Crowd!.
John DeSoto, alias Alfred Farmer,
alleged white slaver, was indicted by
the grand jury Saturday on throe
counts. First, for living with u wo
man not his wife; second, for bring
ing men to a house of ill fame ud
acting as a runner for the woman;
third, for living off the earnings of
(lie woman.
JJo Soto took the name of Farmer
in order to mislead people into the
belief that lie was married to the wo
man, an old marriage license issued
to an Alfred Fanner being used its
proof. Farmer, u Creek, was arrest
ed some time ago. He i.t said to have
carried on the nefarious trade near
Kugle Point.
The grand jury dismissed the cases
against tlio jailbreakers who escaped
some nine or ten months ago. The

Ilnsklns for Honlth.
Nowadays ad-rending women rare
ly buy a thing simply because its a
bargain oven if it's not needed. Nor
do they often pay more than thoy
ought to pay for things that are
needed for they know "how" and
"where" and "when" to buy.
WASHINGTON, I). C, Marcli 2o
Although timid about making his can
didacy known, it is generally under
stood in republican circles today
that former Speaker Cannon is a can
didate for the leadership of tho re
publican minority in the house.
So certain is "Uncle .Joe" of his
selection that lie bus already in
fonned the democratic leaders of his
desire to have the minority heud
ipiartera removed from the first to
the second floor of the capital. This
request having been granted, he will
remove his belongings fiom the
speaker's room to the room now oc
cupied by the committee on premises.

Petition of Eil-
Advertising will not soli oven a
high-cluHs article for more than its
worth. Ad-readers "know values;"
and merchants know Hint they do
hence, if a merchant were trying
to sell something ut "top price" he
would be afraid to advertise it.
Hasklns for Health.
To buy to "best advantage" was
never more important than now
when "the cost of living" is .growing

enable the fish on tho cast sldo of
the river a way to ascend tho stream.
Since one of the gates in tho dam

cend through tho old fish ladder.
