Mount Aky News. ML Airy, * C, J J. U. JOUNMIM A SUMCKIPTION EATBM: « ^ % imr Wim in Um primary wtU be the Mit candi for Governor. It wUl ka daya yet tka nut figurea era to tlw majority, but tt U MiMli beyond a,0M a Maw every mm la trying to i tt hepyMmi. OW poltticiane rlatai , tka party owed tt to Morriaun to ■ tka mwlnattoa to pay far the ka kaa wiiirri ta other for wktok ka kaa I a reward. Tkay tail how and Ay rack and Kitekan and Craig all wart honored for tka part tkay piayad in yaan paat ta tka way of nuking abia campaigna far tka party. Tkay will toll yoa that ta tkta fight Mr. Morriaon, a man of long aarrica to tka party, waa pitted again at a man who bad no claim on tka party becanae of any aarrica ha kad ever rendered. Hence it waa only nat ural that all old party worker, fall in line for Mr. Morriaon. All of wkick may ka tka troth, bat there ii something mora. Mr. Gardner came before the people aa a aelf-mada man. He told everywhere about how he had been left a poor orphan and how he had worked hia way op ir life aad how ka had made good. Ha had much talk about kimaelf aad kii lucceae and how he wanted to be Got eraor to crown hia ambition*. All tkii talk about hi* own aelf waa calculate* to win friends of the lym path trim kind, but auch talk would not maki working friend* like Mr. Morriaon ha< ' for hia backer*. Mr. Gardner mad< admirer* by the speechea he made while Mr. Morriaon (tirred up partj pride and made friend* who not onh admired him but who got out and pa in good *olid time to bring about hi nomination. Mr. Morriaon makaa i apaeeh that appeal* to a politiciai while Mr. Gardner make* a ipaecl that appeal* to the average citizen There ia beauty and poliah about hit apeerhea and thoae who hear him tall about what a nice ipeech he made while nome compare him to a schoo hoy orator. In such , a fight betweei two *uch men. the man of men, aucl aa Mr. Morrison ia known to be, ii almoat certain to win. It was the clean life and the marke< success that Mr. Gardner haa »howi that appealed to the people and wot him admirer* everywhere, hut he fail ed to appeabto many politician! aa i man of such caliber aa to seek Um high office to which he a* pi red. To aa) the least for him he proved that I aelf-made man is popular among oui people. So far aa we know Mr. Gard ner stirred up more enthusiasm for hie cauae than any man of his ability has been able to do in these parts since the days of the late Spencer Black burn. Democrats Name Candidate. The National Democratic Conven tion on Monday night of this wee* nominated at San Francisco James M. Cox for their candidate for or.-»id*M. Almost any man who s informed here will tell you that he is not pleased with the nomination. Demo-rats about here had tied their faith to Mr. ~McAdoo and had almost no doubt * bout his selection. Mr. Co* is prominent ax three times (Coventor of the state of Ohio whi« h is classed as a Republican state Yet Mr. Cox has carried it by a* large as 80,000 majority. Local Dvtn»rrato are not pleased because of the divorce that Governor Cox secured som- years ago and worse, because of his stand on prohibition. RepuV.;.**m are not pleased for 'bey see i i him a candi date who will car' ' the solid South and the wet eastern mates. such as New York and New Jersey and m.iny other states that wan', light wmes ind beers. While the pi inform m ide by the Democrats last week failed to put ia a plank that commit* the party to the issue of wines vid be»r, it is wall known that Mr. Co* h-n a leaning in that direction and fsvi.rs l.g : drinks ia the place of th« present populur soft drinks. Those who favor Governor Cox answer his divorce record by under taking to Justify it and toll that a few million other people ia the nation also have <Hvorcea. and hence a fallow feel tog tor the candidate.

'important Road Opened At the meeting Monday of the cmin , ty highway commission it wan decid ed to open the road loath of thin cttv known »• the MrKinney road. The 1 road will leave the State highway neat the Marshall farm, a mile south of town, and lead* oat near the ho ma oi W. D. Haynes, following the old road 1 in the main to the home of Willi* Mc Kinney three miles tooth of town. 1 Then it cnntinues almost due south for two miles coming oat into the Siloam road near the home of John Simpaon, • mile and s half south east of White | Plains. I. W. Barbwr has recently made a survey of this new road and finds that to grade and improve it will coat $7,000, and the ritiiens who are interested in the farms along it have subscribed half thia amount. It was because of this liberal subscnp <ion on the part of the citizens that . they were able at this time to secure I the road. It opens a section of country ; where the roads were of the very ' worst and about forty farmers art thus given -good road facilities. The contract for buildiag the rosd was let to John Banner, E. F. Mr Kinney and Pete McKinney and the work will begin at once. Work Started On New School Building The work of building ■ new school house for this city hu been started. After much talk and conferring to gether it was finally decided to use I the lot on North Main street, near Short's store, for the site. This week the School Board closed the business by employing D. H. Cook to take charge of thr work, buy material, em ploy help and look after the erection of the new building. It Is the purpose now to get the walls up and the roof on aad the windfws in by winter. The Board has only $1 ft,000 with which to start the work and they will carry it on as far as they pan with this money. The lot on which the new building will be erected fronts on Main sffeet 100 feet and extends back MO feat. The new building is to be 101 feet by : M feet, two stories high, J,t will be ; practically as large as the Roclcford : street building, and while not in the ' same shape or of the same design as this building, the two will be eery I much alike as to sixe and arrange , ment. Fourth At Mount Airy The Fourth of July was celebrated in a most quiet way hers for the first time in years. Large number* of peo ple came to town, for In aome way it got norated that some airplanes were coming aad that a sham battle would be fought. While thars was no sat program the hays played hall and the supply of lea craam waa an limited and the mov ing picture thaw waa In fall sw'ng and the fans a naming And ao the folks sajeyed the day and had the oppor tunity to aaa sack other and spend the day In social hrtateaaraa and escheats r..<thing mm the aaat luii at tha eooaty.1 To MM the Md thta way <mU h.

He followed it afoot, thinking that he would *oon be able to catch it. But the mule kept going along the mad and he kept fol lowing it until he waa aeveral milea from home. When near .Simmons »tore a few milea below thia city he lost track of the mule and haa not been able to hear of it since. It ia ■ good animal and ia one of a pair that Mr. Johnson has for hia farm work Just why it would stray away from ita mate ia peculiar, for "the two were much attached to each other. The ani mal haa evidently stopped somewhere near and ia, no daabt, at the home oi some fanner. Information about il should be forwarded at once to thil office or to Mr. Johnson's addreaa. Resisted Arrest And Cot Sho< A young man, Arthur Tow*, is in the hospital in this city with two bad gunshot wound* as the result at re sisting arrest on last Snndsy after noon. The story of the affair was fir en ns by the high sheriff of Carroll county, Ms Bud Edwards, who wai here on Monday to look sfter the wounded man.

When the deputy was within about seventy five yards of Towe, he declared that no man should arrest him and drew his pistol. He says that Towe was drinking at the time and began to shoot at Deputy Edwards who return ed the fire after Towe Ijad shot two or three times, some of the bullets piercing the clothes of the deputy. Before the affair ended both men had fired several times and Towe had re ceived two bullets in his body, one go ing through him about the right shoul der sod the other breaking the bona in his upper right arm He was brought here to the hospital for treat ment on Monday and his wounds, while pain'ul, should soon heal tf ntf complications develop. A Preacher*• Joke. Three preacher* paaaed jokes at each other on the streets of this city one day thU week and this waa among them. A fellow cane forward and wanted to join the church. The pastor ' anted to know of him if he cared to relate bis experience. The fellow aaid he did, and the preacher told him •o go on in hia own way and give it. Then the man hesitated and the situ ation became embarrassing until he Anally pot his bearing and looking up said, "Say, friend. I tells you one thing, I'm going to do leas traveling after night." Further he had noth ing to aay, but the brethren thought that showed a good purpose and took him in. 81 Joseph, Mo., June IS.—Walter P.
