Scheme. AN Dili ts )N.J uly 14. Special. A number of farmers living in the northern part of the county have been taken in by a swindle that is b th original and effective. Two weeks agi a stranger dropped into Alexandria and clammd to repivsent a st .ak firm whiah male a specialty of importing and rearing French coach horses. He talked learnedly and long ah nit the horse, and particularly about the French coucti louse. The result was, he succeeded in convincing a number of wealthy farmers that the French coach v.-as tiie only horse w rth raising. He held out to them Rowing possibilities and f0rt11r.es to le nude in raisins the ani;ii::. At lat he induced them to organize a s;., -k company comp osed of twenty-five persans, each of which wis to contribute $lic per share, and the money thus raised could br used in purchasing a fine coach stall; n. S mie of the stockholders paid cash, but most uf them gaae rctes. The man left Alexandria and after an absence of ten days turned up with what was alleged to b - a French coach sra.lim. He delivered it t the company, collected the money and notes, discounted the notes at the bank and has not la-en seen since. A few days after the departure a ountry man. living several mib s from Alexandria, came to town. He fell in with on- of t'a- stockholders of the horse company and was induced to go around and take a look at the French coach horse. The stockholder was paralyzed when the country man exclaimed: "Why. that's the stallion I sold to a horse-buyer a few days ago. 1 fc'nt I x him " The sharper had purchased the horse, docked his nil. clipped his mane and fetlocks and palmed him off on the unsuspecting farmers as a genuine French coach horse; in other words, the farmers had paid $2.r.uO for a stallion not worth J-".'"). A committee of the farmers were in the city today consulting an attorney, to ascertain whether they could evade payment of the notes. The attorney advised them that the cheapest way out cf it was to pay the notes when they became due and in the future steer clear of strangers and French coach horses. AX IMPOHTAXT A UK EST. KUwar!

Something like 1100 votes were cast at a primary to select delegates to the different c invent! ms, viz: state, congressior.al and joint representative. The delegates to the state convention are: Laut Ling, James Biliar, Harris Reynolds, J. X. Taylor, William Morgan John Steele and C. W. I Drown. There was a tight over the selection of delegates to the compression l convention to b held at Covington July 20. Ilrookshire's friends made the selection of the delegation an Issue. After a spirited fight and considerable feeling a pronounced Urookshlre delegation was chosen. The anti-Urookshlre element cast over P'O votes and were defeated by only four votes. It is with some regret that the contest was so per s mal. The contest will not. however, in the least affect the county democratic ticket, for on all local questions the party is united and in perfect harmony. No resolutions were offered ia the Interest of any one. From the fact that this is Mr. lirookshire's home the contest excited great interest.
