M CHAIEMAX BLEASE PLEADS !
i? FOR FAIR ELECTION.
V The following statement read by
k County Chairman H. H. ?lease at the
meeting of the county democratic ex\
ecutive committee last Saturday:
This meeting has been call for two
purposes mainly: 1st; to designate
v the polling places for the primary
election; 2nd, for the appointment
of managers of election. I suppose
there will toe little difficulty in se- j
lecting the poling places, but bear \
in mind that the clubs located in in- j
corporated towns come within the j
k provisions of he Australian election
a law and you should select places for
Hl these clubs which shall be convent- ;
HBl ent for carrying out the provisons of
^HEthat law.
|i|? In the appointment of managers,
there are some things we should reMl^member.
We are here as the guard
ians of the democracy of this county j
and in a way also the guardians o?
the democracy of the State. Our elecitons
should not only 'be conducted
honestly, but they should Jbe conducted
in such a way as there will be
no reason for any man. however sus- j
picious, to point to any seenrng un- j
fairness; Do not overlook the fact |
that our county convention adopted j^
a resolution, directing us to give both j

are. Our convention recognised them.
The legislature, in the Austrailian
election law recognized them. We
wnnt honest and competent men. and
we have hundreds of such men in our
county. Many hcnest men, from lack
of education and experience, may not
make competent managers. Especially
should the men charged with carrying
out the Australian election law
,v.o oo-- <?tent for that work, for .that,
is a new way of conducting elections
in our county, and the people will not
this year understand it fully. You
will recall that when we appointed
our enrollment committees I made
a similar request of you. And in
every committee which I have appointed
since I have been your chair
man, I have taken care to always see
that both sides were represented
thereon.
Now, I wish to direct your attention
to an Act of the General Assembly of
this year, known as "The Berry Law",
providing for the enrollment and voting
of persons engaged in the civil,
military and naval fiervid^ *>l3 ,the
government who are absent from
their "home clubs." In this law provision
was made for the enrollment
of the soldiers in the cantonments
within the state, sucn enromneni t.?
be provided for by the State Committee.
The county committee hac no
part in that enrollment, except to receive
the books from the cantonments.
No enrollment books have come to
me, and I am informed by the officers

This same law makes provisions for

? - * v - i i
committees of tne ciuds were uireciea
to place on their enrollment books,
names, home addresses and last
V^own addresses of all these soldiers
and sailors. It has been a difficult
matter to ^et all these young men on
tlic- roils. About 400 of them hav2; i
(been enrolled. I understand there j
shou'd have been about 600. Notice ;
of this enrollment was not given us j
yiy the state Committee until about
frv"f days before the time for the enrollment
to close, and the law wms not
in the rules sent to U3.

Still I regret that the name of any j
soldier or sailor was omitted, for I j
would like to have all of them vote j
W*.9n we set the State tickets and |
county tickets ready, under the pro- j
visions of the law, I am directed to !
mail one of each to every person so
enrolled by your enrollment committees.
These young men have th*
right to prepare t^eir ballots, enclose j
them in an envelope, addressed to me
as "County Chairman," write thei**
names and addresses on the envelope,
! and write the words "Vote of absent
' voter," thereon, put on proper postage
and mail to me. I am to hold all
i the ballots received by me until your
i meeting to tabulate the result oi the

rfsy after the election cn Tuesday, the
i 27th. At that time the envelopes re.

Now, if you have followed me closely.
you will see how great is the responsibility
resting upon the county
chairman. The matter pf sending out
these ballets is left entirely in my
hands. If I fail to send out a ballot
to anv soldier or sailor, he has lost
.his chance to cast his vote. These
ballots will likely start to coming ill

I should lose or misplace an envelope

- !
wish to make suggestions to you, |
which I trust you will authorize me i
to carry out, as to the handling of
these "absent" voters ballots. These j
suggestions coming from me, with-!
out any intimation from any member
of this committee, show, I trust, my
desire that I shall he free from any 1
possibility of criticism hereafter. And
I state frankly that even if they were
to come from any of you, I should noj:
take them as a reflection upon mc,
but simply as the desire of the one
who might make them that there be
no chance for criticism of anything
that-, may occur in the election in this
county.
I recommend to you that you give
me the power to designate your sec
retary and cne member of this committee,
that member to be of the faction
opposed to my political faction,
and that the three of us together
handle the matter of sending out and
receiving these ballots of the absent
voters. Under the law, I am compelled
to do this work, ibut there is
nothing in the law which prevents
your secretary and this third member
from seeing that I do it properly. In
fact, the spirit of all our election laws
is for everything to be conducted
openly and above board.
Authorize this sub-committee to do
the following things:
1st. To have all the envelopes containing
tickets for these absent voters
to be addressed in type-writing, so
they will be plain.
2nd. That the envelopes in which
the ballots are to be returned be addressed
in large type to the Count*'
Chairman, and that the words "vote
r\f a*>cVntpr" h? orinted thereon
Vi awwvwv ? V vw. w w /;
in large type, and that proper arrangement
lbs made thereon for tih.i
name and address of the voter, as required
toy the law.
3rd. That the sub-committee be
i authorized to rent a box at the 'post
| office and the post office officials be
! instructed to place all mail so addressed,
as stated heretofore, in
that particular box, and not in mv
box, or in any other box.
4th. That the sub-committee shall
set only ore key to the said box; tihat
the mail therein shall be removed
only by the suib-committee when all
three of the members are present;
that when the "key is not being used
for the purpose of getting the mail,
that the same be left, properly sealed
up, with tihe Clerk of the Court of the
county, to be delivered by him to no
| person except to your sub-committee,
; and only to the sub-committee when
ail three of the members are present
in oerson.
5th. That a proper ballot box be
arranged and kept in the office, and
. in the vault, of the clerk of court, under
lock and key, properly sealed up,
which shall be used for the purpose
of nlar.ine- and keeDinsr these ballots
rnd the envelopes containing them
when received from the post office 'by
the su,b-committee.
Gth. That at the meeting of this
committee for tabulation of the returnQ
from, the election, the sub-committee
shnll faring the said ballot box
and all the tickets and envelopes
therein into the presence of the full
committee, and said ballot box shali
thon mtih thpro finlv at. that time
be opened and the ballots therein inspected,
checked and counted.
This seems to me to be fair and
honest, and the best method I can in
q short time devise for handling these
votes properly. If any of you have
o hat-tpr nlan to <?nprp-psf T shall wel
c* *
' 'onie it.. If I hear of a better pten
ir. ?rv ot^er county, r ch9ll be glad
'Tj advise you. or to be si vised of it,
ft' you learn of one. My only purpose
is fo so conduct the election in this
county that. wh.en it is over, whatever
the result may be, that all our 'people
shall be able to say, "the people have
spoken."

OLO ITALIAN SPORT
Peculiar Method of Snaring Mi- :
grating Pigeons ;
At Cava dei Tirreni the Birds Are Way- r
laid With Nets and Slinks?Much
Ingenuity Necessary to Secure
Good "Bag."
j
It is not often that one comes across
a little place that has an ingenious
and exciting sport all its own. At Cava
dei Tirreni in Italy, nowever, there
has for a thousand years eAisieu a j
culiar form of pigeon catching. It was |
introduced in 892, says Mr. Herbert Vivian
in Italy at War and it has flourished
ever since. At the beginning of
every autumn great flocks of pigeons
i migrate from Siberia to Africa and
I pass over Cava and the Gulf of Saler|
no. They probably have other routes,
; but Cava is the only place where they
are waylaid with nets and slings. The
I season is at its height from the 15th to
| 25th of October.
! The pigeon catchers are mostly men
I of the lower middle class, who club toj
gether to form six societies, or
i "games.'* A game usually consists of
three or four towers and a clearing
! where the nets are set up. One tower
is probably a thousand yards from the
| net, and the nearest perhaps seventy
; yards,- but the distances vary. The
towers are tall and slim, windowless
and weather-beaten. There are steps
! about halfway up the inside, and a
; rickety ladder leaos to ine parapet ?.?.
i the top. Each society has also a neat
little clubhouse, usually near the chief
tower.
| In a merry mood the members take
i their places in the fresh morning air.
i Most of them are dressed in velveteen
: coats, top-boots and peaked caps. Two
J men ascend each tower and the rest
. are distributed among tne neis. iu
each of the clearings stands a small
' house from the center of which rises
a tall black mast To that two huge
j nets are fastened, stretching right and
| left to clumps of trees and spreading
j out obliquely to the ground. Inside
I the house is a handle and a cogwheel
for raising the weighted nets. The

small hens' eggs. These they discharge
i with great force. The pigeons, it is
said, mistake the stones for hawks and

where they do not 'wish fhie birds to
' go; yet wheiT tEey are flyii-g high, a
stone flung beneath them will bring
them hurtling downward Then, with
loud cries, the watchers drive them toward
the nets. The stone-slinging is
the essence of the sport, ana it requires
strong muscles, a quick eye and
a steady aim.
But the netting is also difficult. The
man at the ropes is white and nervous;
everything now depends upon
him. If he releases the weight at the
, right moment the net comes down instantly
and the birds are bagged. A
moment too soon, and they see the
' danger and avoid it; a moment too
. late and they pass in safety. It is a
: matter of an instant, and many more
flocks escape than ar? taken.
, The birds are gray and somewhat
, smaller than the domestic pigeon.
' They cannot be trained or tamed. The
' sport is far from being profitable, for
even when they have good luck the
pigeon catchers never take enough
birds to pay for the elaborate preparation
they have made. But the moment
when the nets whirl down at Cava is
a moment of rare excitement.

"War Time."
A novel memento of the great war Is
a clock, which is made from munitions j
?both enemy and allied?collected on |
the Somme battlefield by a soldier,
who afterwards used them for this
purpose. The body of the clock is a
German shellcase, and German cartridges
form the legs. Of the three
cartridges on tr~> of the timepiece, the
, two outsJ.de are German, and the one
gracing the center French^ while the
two small ornaments between these
are Belgian bullets. The side ornamnnfo

cases, pierced to aamit of a British !
cartridge projecting through the top.!
The pendulum consists of five |
French bullets, and the figures and I
hands are bent to shape from copper !
wire taken from German trenches.
To complete the whole, the clock
movement inside is also of German
make, and, after necessary repairs, is
found to be entirely adequate.

i Look to Africa for Food. !
| The world-wide shortage of food and !
! the certainty that this shortage will
i continue in modified form for years to
eome has roused France to utiiize more
fully her great colonies just across the
Mediterranean. Comprehensive plans
; a*e being formed?and started on the
| way to fulfillment?for refrigerating
and packing plants in Algeria, so that
1 the animals need not be shipped across
the sea alive. These institutions, too,
will give a much readier and steadier
market thin has been available hither- ,
to, alic! that is probably all that is
needed to quadruple the meat exports
of Norih Africa. i
