NEFARIOUS

SCHEME NIPPED IN THE BUD BY THE STATE REPUBLICAN COMMITTEE BUYING VOTERS OFF Democrats of Alexandria Are "BlowedM On by Some of the People i Invited. AT TWO DOLLARS APIECE Seems to Be the Standard Price The Colored Man is Very Much Sought After. To lef cat what 'is is suspected to lie a general plan of the . Democrats in Indiana to prevent the negro' from voting this fall, the) Republican State committee Saturday sent out a letter of warning to Republican county chairmen notifying them of the fact that in some counties it has been dis. coveml Democrats are taking receipts from negroes and already paying them money, the agreement being that the person signing the receipt shall vote the entire Democratic ticket this fall, -.but the intention being to u,se the receipts to disfranchise the , negro or frighten him away from the pojls on election day. The letter of the Stats committee is based on affidavits 'received from Alexandria, in which Mayor James H. Edwards is charged in some' cases with paying $2 for a signature to the receipts and in others with asking colored men to sign, the receipts. Vote Buying Not a Crime. It is not a crime in Indiana to buy a vote, although it is a crime to sell a vote. The result of this law is that the men that buy votes arc able to put. under their power the num. who sell them. In Greene county, two years ago, fifty men were disfranchised by a process similar to that alleged to have 'been pursued in Alexandria. They sold their votes and signed receipts and this year it is said that the receipts are still being held over their heads. Tn Morgan county and in Spencer county more than fifty men are disfranchised because of the signing of receipts two' years ago, and in several other counties the receipt scheme,, was worked effectively. It is said that thirty negroes of Alexandria have already received money and signed the receipts and they are now greatly stirred np because they have discovered that their net will -probably keep them from voting this year and perhaps for several years to come, if the men have them disfranchised. If the matter is not taken into the courts, the signed receipts can still be used with much effect in a threat that prosecutions will follow if the men that signed them attempt to vote. . It is raid that the Alexandria negroes, Much wrought up, are offering to pay the money back and are demanding the receipts. Form of Printed Receipts. Printed, receipts are being used in j Madison county. The form, as re-jj ceived by the Republican State com-! nut tee, is as t allows : "I " - a qualified voter in . - precinct, in township, Madison -county, Indiana, at the general election to be held in said county and State on Tuesday, the Sth day of November, 1904, do hereby offer to sell and do hereby sell my vote for nil the Democratic candidates for offices in said county, at said election for the sum of , to me in hand paid, the receipt whereof i hereby acknowledged.- and .hr consideration of said sum I do hereby vContinued on eighth page.)

EXODUS SOUTH

Many Richmond People Will Spend Richmond Away From Home. With the approach of colder weath. er and prospects for a long and cold winter before them Richmond people are preparing to spend the winter in t ho south and west. There are several families in the city who go south every year with the approach of winter and then return in the spring, while many others are making preparations to go this season for the first time. The exodus towards the south and southwest is already being noted and already a large amount of transportation to the south has been sold by railroad agents. Many people of this city are remaining here as long as the weather is pleasant and agreeable, btu with the last approach of snow they will seek a warmer climate Many of the citizens, remembering the temperature of the past winter, say; that they will not endure another but will avoid the chilly blasts by going -south. AGRICULTURAL COURSE TO BE INTRODUCED IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS. THE SUPERINTENDENT COTTON Intends To Have Children Learn More About the Farm. The state superintendent, of public instruction is trying to make the schools more helpful to the country by the introduction of a course in the principles of agriculture for use in the district and township, high schools. The education of the country boy and girl has been' away from the farm and toward the factory and the city. "The study of history and biography has created ideals of greatness that find their expression'in city life. The result has been a continual and constantly increasing exodus of the most thoughtful and enterprising young men and young women of our district schools to the city. The introduction of agriculture proposes to nake tlu farm the center of interest and to make all its industries, its economies-and its science the subject of thought and study." Superintendent Cotton says that while it isjiot the province of the schools to teach the. trades, it is their privileges and duty to put the child.; in intelligent touch with the life about him. He says that it is not only-legitimate but the very best pedagogy to use all the roeans at hand in educating the children. While the school can not offer a complete course in agriculture. they can offer cough to show the chil- i j un-ii uie wwue oi unuwieugi- .L me composition of the soil, of tillge, of j drainage, of irrigation, of selecting seed, of planting, etc., enough to interest them later in a broader educationin agricultural high school or college.

Judge Abbott perhaps aids as many unhappy married people in reyoking their life contract as any attorney in the city but he says that he lias always made it a principal to offer his clients aid in making more congenial matches. - Yesterday the Judge said he had received a letter from a woman in Ridgeville who a year ago he had assisted in obtaining a divorce and who he had married to another man a day later. Tn the letter the woman said she was as lappy as she possibly could be and ,i,ought she had the best "man" on earth. About this time last year this woman, aftes securing her divorce, was advised by Judge Abbott to get a :ood man and settle down to domes tic- happiness. One hour after this j counsel had been given the woman 'appeared in the 'Squire's office with j another "man." "I think this feljlr.w will do" said she and after a j short space of time in which the i Judge lccovered his breath and' talkred with the "man" he said he thought he would pass muster and I without further waste of time thev t I -m - T . t . -a were married. lesteruay was the first news the Judge had received from his client, bent on domestic happiness, since he had performed the wedding ceremonv.

Meanwhile the force of clerks is doing all things possible to keep file store up to its high standard of excellence.

SOME INDIAN MOUNDS VISITED

RELICS VISITED BY THE HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS MOUNDS ERECTED AGES AGO It is Presumed That They Were Built by Either Aztecs or Southern Indians. Last week the junior modern history class of the high school was taken out by Professor Walter Davis to Ballinger's Springs, three miles east of town, to see the Indian mound, which is located near ithe springs and also to inspect the two mounds on the Commons farm nearby. The students were greatly interested in these mounds which were erected many hundreds of years ago by a strange race of men. About fifteen years ago these mounds of earth were opened and old war axes, brass beads and skeletons were taken out. The bones of these prehistoric men and women crumbled to ashes when exposed to the air. It is the supposition of Professor Davis that the mounds were built for either forts or places to bury the dead, probably the latter supposition being the correct one. Hie race that built them he thinks were either southern Indians or the Aztecs of Mexico who were afterwards driven south or southwest by the more fierce and warlike northern ijlbes. V i It is also not generally known that not more than seventyfive years ago there was an Indian settlement, near the springs, the colony numbering over five hundred men, women and children. The government took their lands froni them and they were deported to the Indian lands in the northwest.. These Indians are believed to have been either Shawnees or Miamis.

OLD RRIDGE

Discoveied by Workmen on D. & W. While Digging Gravel. It is not generally known that the Sycamore Valley school house, about three miles east of town, is situated on what was once the National road. Many years ago the road was abandoned and built several rods further to the south. Since that time the school house has been built. To the east of the school is a stream commonly called the East Fork and recently the 'Dayton & Western company had a gang of men at work underneath the traction bridge, which crosses the creek, excavating gravel. After going down to the depth of four feet the workmen discovered the sill of the old government bridge that was erected more than seventy years ago. Only the oldest inhabitants of this section are able to recall the time when the old bridge was in use. AT VARIENCE ON DIVORCE QUESTION EPISCOPAL CONVENTION BOSTON IS STILL IN SESSION.
