?? HON. HALLET S. WARD WARD MAKE3 A SPEECH Hon. Hallet 8. Ward, of Waahing ton, candidate for Congress from the First Congressional District, made his first local political spech of tre cam paign in Ahoakie last Saturday af ternoon at Newsome's Hall. The Hon. Hallet was forced to post pone his speech for about two Hours, on account of an interesting session of the municipal court, which was set for the same hour. Attorney Ward, realizing the utter folly of attempt ing to corral a crowd with the suit in progress, joined forces with the local attorneys in an attempt to hurry up the session of municipal court. He appeared for some of the defendants of the trial. It was four o'clock and j>ast when the case was ended, but Mr. Ward an nounced that he would begin his spe ech in a few minutes, and a crowd estimated at about seventy-five voter followed him to the hall, where he speechified until a few minutes before the time of the arrival of his train at six o'clock. His speech wsa free from abuse of the present incumbent, Hon. Jno. H. Small, but he laid particular em phasis on the fact that the Hon. Small had really accomplished but little con structive legislation at Washington, throughout the twenty-ewo years that he had represented this District. He did say, however, that Mr. Small had mailed his seed to the farmers faith fully, and had cultivated the polit ical field thoroly. To use his expres sion Mr. Small has been "digging and dunging" his political friends and sup porters constantly during his many years in Congress. That part of his speech which was devoted to the issues for which he stood was forced to a speedy close on account of the arrival of his train. He did, however, get far enough un der way to state that he advocated the national highway system as a so lution of the railroad problem. Many of his hearers by their atti tude indicated that they, too, agreed that too long tenure in office was not always conducive to the best interest of the constituency represented. A * ??u GIVING ALL THE NEWS We presume that there never Mas been a newspaper in any locality that gave all the local happenings. It is often that some one comes or Roes ithat the reporter does not see. It happens that the family is missed several times. They get the impres sion that the editor does not ;are 'o mention them. This is a m'stake. In most country towns the local work is the hardest work connected ? t.h the newspaper. A man may be a good editorial writer but flat failure in local work, and vice versa. '.<ii torial material is obtained by 3tudy, by reading newspapers, sometimes by using the scissor*. Personals and local happenings can not be read and clipped from othei papers, not by a jugful. It take! physical as well as mental exertior to get out four to six columns of lo cal news in a town of this size. And most people take a local paper to gel the local happenings. Don't be afr aid to tell the editor or reporter thai you have friends visiting you. Then are lots of people who are interest ed in your friends. You owe it ai a duty to them to let your friendi know of their doings. Perhaps yot think the paper shows partiality, bu juat see if the paper does not trea ' . you right if you give them a chance ?Union Springs Advertiser. o When yon Spend 50c oa Rat Snap ti hn $100?

The trouble came about when Ber nard and Irving Shapiro, transient picture peddlers, accompanied sever al young ladies to the room adjoin ing the club, where a dance was in progress. They were asked to leave the dance, which was a private af fair, and, upon their refusal } d so, the "fireworks" began. V A trial was held before Mayor W. L. Curtis Saturday afternoon, the warrant being sworn out by the State and town against Irving and Bernard Shapiro, Claude Vann, James Vinson and G. C. Britton. The presiding judge rendered the following decis ion : Bernard Shapiro and G. C. Brit ton not guilty; Claude Vann and Ir ving Shapiro $5.00 and costs; James Vinson $25.00 and costs. . The evidence as brougt in the trial was about as follows: The two Sha piros were asked to leave the room, weheupon they mildly refused, Ir ving's refusal bein met with an at tempt by Claude Vann to eject him by force, this action resulting a few bruises and a torn coat. Brother Ber nard, seeing the plight of Irving made for his assailants for the purpose of taking his brother from the room, ac cording to his testimony, whereupon a billiard cue in the hands of James Vinson brought to Bernard the stern realization that he had better also remove his anatomy from the hall.The cue made only a slight abrazion on his head. But, following this "maul ing" they decided to leave peacefully but not until Miss Bessie Feldman had located anotffi* cue, and as f said upon the stand "chased Jim Vin son." The Shapiros were represented by attorney R. C. Bridger, of Winton, lad the other defendant* by Sogers I and Williams of this city, and Hon. Huliett S. Wand, of Washington. The trial was attended by a large crowd, and some feeling was shown during the trial. A Nincompoop.
