vhere he will be the guest of the Hearst

On Wednesday night of last week, the
High scool basket ball team took the
Breaker boys' down the line by a score of
19 to 14. Last Monday afternoon, how
ever, the Breaker boys beat them to the
tune of 37 to 21. The rubber will be

Through the efforts of John W. Chancey,
John Amburn, Tom Marchant, 0. H. Mil
ler and other, arrangements have been
made to run a pipe line down Spruce

protection from fire in that quarter. It is
a good move.
The American Protective League has
just issued a unique pamphlet entitled
Roster of the Sixty-fourth Congress' which
will be useful to every person who wishes
to communicate with any member of Con
gress. The pamphlet also includes letters
of approval of the Tariff League's work
from a large number of congressman and
practical business concerns."
PACKAGE DAY.
Hats off to the Campfire Girls and Boy
Scouts in their successful campaign, last
eek to rel eve the necessities of the poor
in this vicii' ty.
A noble effort and a worthy cause, these
young people are worthy to be classed as
Soldiers of the Cross, and they will always
be remembered with reverence in the
homes to which they brought joy and com
fort. The movement was started last week by
'the announcement that on Friday afternoon
the Camp Fire Girls and Boy Scouts would
canvass our town for any donations that
our citizens were disposed to make. Every
thing would be acceptable and nobody was
barred from contributing to the cause and
right royal was the responses.
Twenty large baskets of eatables were
contiibuted and SI. 55 in money was do
dated. Eight families in Ducktown, Pos
telle and Chancytown were visited and
each were given provisions enough for
"several days.
' Prizes were offered to the girls and boys
for the best filled basket turned in and for
for the largest amount of ' money secured.
Miss Edith Marchant turned in the best
basket and Jim Davis and Booster Fortnar
got the prize for getting the largest amount
of money.
When it is remembered that "the poor
we have with us always," it is worth more
than a passing mention that we have two
organizations consecrated to the work of
ministering to the sick and needy. Under
the leadership of Mrs. Eula Fry and G. C.
Suttles, these organizations are doing a
grand work and their future efforts along
this line should meet with co-operation of
every citizen who can be reached.
TWO GOOD REPUBLICANS.
Under the proper heading will' be found
the announcement of Chas. E. Taylor, who
aspires to be Trustee of Polk county.
Mr. Taylor is too well known for for us
to attempt to set forth his qualifications at
any length, but we can speak of his close
attention to business entrusted to his care
and the fidelity with which he serves those
who deal with him.
Should he be our next, Trustee, he will
serve the people with the same courtesy
and faithfulness that have made him so
popular with the patrons of the Ducktown
Banking Co.
We bespeak for him careful considera
tion at the hands of the convention.
The Boy Scout anniversary was cele
brated at the Y. M. C. A., last Friday night,
by a banquet, to which , the Camp Fire
Girls were invited. ,
Speeches were made by W. S. Maughan
and Rev. A. S. Ulm to which the strictest
attention was given by the Scouts and their
guests.
After a strenuous day spent in doing
good, it was a fitting ending of another
year in the life of the Boy Scouts; and
when they turn back and scan the pages
of the past, may the good deeds found
stimulate them to greater efforts in the fu
ture. " -v
County Correspondence
J. R. Rice, of Ocoee, wants to be Tax
Assessor of Polk county and his announce
mei t will be found in another column.
Mr. Rice is well qualified in every way
to fill this office. He is a man of unusual
intelligence and his wide acquaintance
throughout 'the county, would serve him
well. He has been prominent in educa
tional circles and enjoys the confidence of
numberless friends.
He is entitled to every consideration at
the hands of the convention and this we
earnestly bespeak for him.
BENTON.
Russell and Center, former pike oad
commissioners, have brought mandamus
proceeeings against the chairman of the
county court to compel him to issue them
a county warrant for what they claim is
due them. The people are watching te
chairman in this case. Most everyone
wants this case tried on its merits and if
there is anything due they should get it
Tl ey should not be atraid to let the court
go into its merits. '
L. W. Hilderbrand is being urged to make

It was charged as a great crime for the
old pike commission to divide up the
the county; but the present one boldly lets
it be known that they have divided it and
there i3 no kick coming. Why? .
