Why You Should Kicct Fred Smith |
Sherif
Plain, everyday, sensible FRED SMITH, |
the Rush township farmer, is a candidate
for Sheriff of Centre county. Many of you |
know it. Some of you know him bus for
those who don’t we wants to say right here |
that he isa better man for the office thao |
bis opponent. He is not the glib, sleek |
individoal that you find Mr. HURLEY to |
be. In fact he is jast the other type ; the
sober, solid, substantial man of good habits |
and sound judgment. You know a Sheriff |
i
should be a man of tais character. |
FRED F. SMITH.
Mr. HURLEY is a liveryman in Philips-
burg. He is a horseman, no doubt with
the average horseman’s tricks. While we
do not thereby mean to say that Mr. Hug-
LEY is dishonest yet we feel that you will
realize what we mean and understand that
the finesse of the horse dealing business is
not the best qualification for the office of
Sheriff.
On the other hand Le has been a resident
of this county only seven years whereas
Mr. SMITH was born aud raised in Centre
county, has farmed and worked among our
people all his life and realizes, to the full
est measure, what the conditions are thas
confront them.
He is stolid aud strong-hearted enough to
do his duty at all times, yes big-hearted
enough to temper the stern dusies of the
office with charity and kindliness for the
oppressed. You remember what a great
and good Sheriff Cyrus BRUNGARD made ?
Well, FRED SMITH would make another
just like him, because he has grown up
among the people, kuows what hard knocks
areand knows bow to do his daty with the
least degree of injury to others.
He looks a Sheriff and yon will make no |
mistake in making him one.
— ~The attacks that are being made on
Mr. HARRISON WALKER are about as
groundless as anything can possibly be.
What it they were true it would not be to
Mr. WALKER'S disadvantage for he has
certainly done as much as a lawyer as Mr.
BARCLAY has done in Congress,

ciency and Merits
Commissioners Whose Record Proves Their Effi
Their Re-election.
As we view the situation it is not so much a question as to why WooDRING
and ZIMMERMAN should not be elected Commissioners for Centre county this
year as why DUNLAP and WEAVER should be re-elected to the office they have
filled wo satisfactorily for the past three years.
The prudent, practical voter will
look at it as a purely business proposition. Outside of personalities it is a matter
of dollars and cents with him, for the Commissioners office is the one throngh which
the county’s business is transacted and we must all bear our share of the expenses
of it.
It is a mere master of official record that when Messrs. FIsHER and RIDDLE,
Republicans, went out of the Commissioners office in January, 1900, they had con-
verted the bandsome surplus that was left them by their Democratic predecessors
into a county debt of $8,352.10. Commissioners MEYER and HECKMAN, Demo-
crats, then started in to pay the debt.
So well did they manage that in two years
they paid off the debs left by the Republican hoard and at the same time CUT
THE PER CAPITA TAX DOWN TO THE LOWEST FIGURE EVER KNOWN
IN CENTRE COUNTY.
When MILLER and BAILEY, Republicans, went into office in January, 1903,
they found the ccunty ous of debt again and haviog a treasary surplus of $25,-
001.38 The result of their three year’s administration was to squander this hand-
some balance and leave the county $41,777.72 in debt.
At that time everyone knew that it would be nec-
it was in in the fall of 1905.
That was the condition
essary to increase the millage whether DuNLAP and WEAVER or MILLER and
BAILEY were elected.
In fact Mesers. MILLER and BAILEY would have raised
the millage the last term of their administration bad they not been candidates for
re election. Their own clerk, AMBROSE
V. SLoTEMAN, made affidavit that year
that it would be necessary to inorease the millage 24 mills. The affidavit is a mat-
ter of record in the court house.
That year Messrs. BAILEY and MILLER esti-
mated the needs of the county at $73,000.00 The assessed valuation of the coun-
ty for all purposes was $11,936,912.00.
On this amount they laid a 3 mill tax
whioh, if they had received it all would have realized only $35,810.73 for the
county. Adding to it the income from the sale of unseated lands, liquor licenses,
state tax returned, Commissioners’s and
Treasurer's sales and available unpaid
baladioes on old duplicates the total was in the neighborhood of $60,000.00. On
the face of their own statement there was to be a deficit of $13,000.00 for that
year, bat as a matter of fact it was much greater.
Knowing these things everyone agreed at shat time that no matter who was
elected the taxes wonld have to be raised.
tember 20th, 1905, this paper said :
In an editorial of the issue of Sep-
“Try to figure out for yourself where the money is to come from unless your
taxes are raised. MILLER and BAILEY koew they could not make ends meet on
3 mills but they were afraid to go before you with an increased levy and have de-
ceived you with the hope of getting back into office for another term. An in-
crease will have to come no matter who is elected.”
DUNLAP and WEAVER were elected and the inorease came,
was to come because it was really one of the issues of the campaign.
no deception.
Everyone knew it
There was
It wonld have come no matter who was elected, just as we have
shown you hy quoting the editorial above. Knowing these things then why make
an issue of the increased taxation.
Surely you can’t blame DUNLAP and WEAV-
ER for baving to pay the $32,517.72 indebtedness left by MILLER and BAILEY.
In order that yon way thoroughly understand it let os go over it again.
When
MILLER and BAILEY went into office there was a balauoce in the treasury of $25,-
001.38, no notes any where, no bills outstanding. When they went out of office,
three years later, the $25,001.38 surplus was gone and there were notes and debts
aggregating $41,000.00. How were DUNLAP and WEAVER $0 run the county
and pay this indebtedness without raising the millage? The valuation for tax
purposes has not increased while the expenses have. So the only honest thing for
them to do was to raise the millage, just as everyone expected they would do.
Now if they had not properly disbursed the additional money they have received
there would be something to censure them for.
done :
But let us see what they have
In two years time the debt of $41000.00 was cut down to $4000.00. Your lass
annual statement will show you that and the next statement will show that the
last of the MILLER and BAILEY debt has been wiped ont and that THE COUN.
TY AGAIN HAS A BALANCE TO ITS CREDIT.
In the face of these facts, all of which are corroborated by the official records,
isn’t it only fair to them and good business seuse on your pars to re-elecs Messrs,
DUNLAP and WEAVER? They bave worked to get the county ous of debt and
they should have the opportunity of putting the millage down again, which will
be done next year, no master who is elected. DUNLAP and WEAVER bave done
the work and they should have the fruits of it.
It is only the spirit of a square deal and we are confident that there is enough of
that spirit in Centre county to give two men whose official records warrant it the
credit that ia due them.
ADDITIONAL LOCALS.
CEMENT BRICK PLANT ASSURED.—A
plans for the manufacture of cement brick
out of furnace slag is now practically as-
sured for Bellefonte. G. W. Hoover, of
New Bethlehem, who represents the Mo-
Intosh slag brickmaking machine, was in
Bellefonte the past week and in conference
with L. T. Munson, Elmer E. Davis and
John C. Rowe as good as closed the deal
for one machine. The site srlected for
building the plant is on land of the Belle-
fonte Furnace company, close to the slag
pile. The one machine negotiated for is
guaranteed to turn ont twenty-five thons-
and brick every nine hours, and, as it runs
automatically one man will be able to do
the work it requires six to eight men to
perform with other brickmaking machines.
The balance of the machinery, such as roll-
er, mixer and elevators, has already been
provided for and it is likely that work on
the building of the plant will be begun in
the near fatare.

——S8ucker fishing in spring creek, oppo-
site the Bush house, is a sport indulged in
by a number of Bellefonters the pass day or
two. The low water in the creek drove the
fish into deep water and shoals of suckers
lay in the pools along the Bush house. One
fisherman on Wednesday landed over twen-
ty of them whileseveral others secured nice
strings. The fish are from eight to fourteen
inches in length.
~The saw mill of Dale and Bennett
near Gleun Harris caught fire and was
burned to the ground about one o'clock
Satarday morning. Seven hundred feet of
lumber and one thousand feet of logs were
also burned. The proprietors bad no in.
surance on the mill or lumber so that their
loss is considerable. They have not yet
decided whether to rebuild the mill or not.
How the fire origitated is a mystery.
JOHN D. MILLER.
CANDIDATE FOR COUNTY TREASURER.
In presenting this picture of JouN D,
MILLER, our nominee for the office of
Treasurer of the county, we feel that we
are showing the ideal candidate to the
voters. Honest, clean, christian gentleman
} vant he is, his pleasing personality, cou-
! stant willingness to help a friend and
| marked intelligence recommend him higher
| than any words of ours conld possibly do.
| Mr. MILLER is a farmer in Walker town-
| ship. He knows how to work, hecanse be
| bas worked bard all bis life. He knows
| what honesty is because he hasalways heen
honest. He knows what fidelity is because
he has been faithful to every trust reposed
in him. Consequently his character will
bear the most searching investigation and
for that reason, more than any other, he is
the man who should be wade keeper
of the county's strong box.
The Treasurer requires a degree of fitness
different from shat of moss any other officer
in the county. To fill the place properly
the incambent must be a good penman, a
mathematician, an acourate accountant, a
fair judge of values and, above all, must
be of such character as you can impose im-
plicit confidence in besides being courteous
and genial enough in manner to make the
transaction of business in the office agree-
able to the public.
We are not flattering Mr. MILLER when
we say he has all of these qualities, and
more, therefore we insist shat he is the
logical man for the office and the one whom
every voter who has the best interests of
the county at hears should support.

DEATH oF CoL. IRVIN.—-Col. E. A.
Irvin, of Curwensville, but who was well
known throughout Centre county, died in
Atlantic City oo Tuesday morning. He
was known all over the State as having
been the commander of the famous ‘‘Buok-
tail” regiment during the Civil war, and
his death was no doubt the result of a
wound received at shat time, and which
bad been troubling bim for years. Several
months ago he went soath in the hopes of
obtaining relief and later journeyed to
Atlantic City where his death occurred.
Had he lived until next Janvary he
would have been seventy-one years of age.
In his younger years he followed the lnm.
bering business, He «reed one term in
the State Senate as successor to Alexander
E. Patton, deceased. Since that time he
has lived a retired life. The body was
taken to his late home in Curwensville
from where the funeral will occur today.
DEATH oF DR. FAIRLAMB.—Dr. George
Asbbridge Fairlamb, one of the best known
residents as well as prominent physicians
of Bellefonte, died at his rooms in the
Bash housedat one o'clock Monday morn-
ing. For years be bad been a great suf-
ferer with {rbeumatic gout as a resuls of
woundsreceived and privations sustaived
during, bis service in the Civil war. Ino re-
cent years other complications set in so that
his life for a long time had heen practically
that of a confirmed invalid, and his death
the natural resalt of she continual physical
drain and bodily saffering; congestion of
the brain being the dijecs canse.
Deceased was a son of Dr. and Mrs.
George A. Fairlamb and was boro in Ches-
ter county June 24ch, 1826, so that at the
time of his death he was 82 years, 3 months
and 18 days old. His lineal descent can
be traced back to Nicbolas Fairlamb, of
Darbam, Eogland, who brought to the
Society of Friends at Philadelphia a cer-
tificate of membership from the Darbam
Monthly Meeting dated June 13th, 1700,
His father dying the subject of this
gketch came to Bellefonte when be was
ten years old and was taken to raise and
educate hy Bond Valentine. He was sent
to the Bellefonte Academy, then the lead-
ing educational institution of the town,
and while yet early in his teens went to
olerking in the drug store of Dr. John Hai-
ris where he remained until he sold out to
Joseph Harris when he clerked for him
until he entered the University of Peon-
sylvauia to study medicine. He graduated
from that institution in 1848 and returning
to Bellefonte at once entered upon the prac-
tice of medicine. Several years later he
and Dr. James H. Dobbins formed a co-
partnership and practiced together antil
the breaking out of the Civil war.
At the breaking out of the war he raised
Company H, 148sh regiment Pennsylvania
volunteers, and went to the front as its
captain. Later he was promoted to the
rauk of major and after the battle of The
Wilderness to a lieutenant-colonel, He
was wounded at the bastie of Chanocellors-
ville, and twice at the battle of Spottsyl-
vania, in the charge made early in the
morning by the Second corps, his right
elbow being shattered, necessitating a re-
setting of the joint. In thespring of 1864
be was captured by the Confederates and
sent to Libby prison where he suffered all
the horrors and privations of thas infamous
place. He was paroled September 12th,
1864, as Annapolis, Md., and on February
24th, 1865, he was discharged on a sur-
geon’s certificate of disability from
wounds,
Shortly after the close of the war he was
appoiuted examining physician at the Laz-
aretto quarantine station below Philadel-
phia, where he remained two years. He
then returned to Bellefonte and resumed
she practice of medicine but gave it up
after a few years and has since lived a re-
tired lite. Dr. Fairlamb was perhaps one of
the best kuown men as well as unique and
pleasing characters in Bellefonte. Com-
ing to Bellefonte as he did almost three-
quarters of a century ago he had a personal
knowledge of much of the history of the
town; and being possessed of a verv reten-
tive memory and being a good raconteur, his
stories and reminiscences of Bellefonte and
its people were more interesting than any
history ever written. He was staanch in
his friendships and always willing to help
those in need to the bess of his ability.
Of his immediate family only oue sister,
Miss Deborah Fairlamb, of Chester county,
survives. He leaves a namber of nephews
and nieces, one of the former being Dr.
George F. Harris, of this place, whose
mother was Dr. Fairlamb’s sister.
He was a member of Gregg Post No. 95,
G. A. R,, and also of she Loyal Legion.
He was a member of the Society of Friends
and bis funeral was held at two o'clock on
Wednesday afternoon from the residence of
Dr. George F. Harris, interment being
made in the Friends burying ground.

ninth anoual fair of the Centre county
Agricultural Exhibiting company came to
a olose last Friday with a good crowd in
attendance and she best races of the week.
The] WATCHMAN went to press too early
last week to give a report of Tharsday’s
races, whichgwere not finished until almost
dark. There were two events, the 2.18
and 2.27 classes, there being five starters
in the first and four in the second. In the
fourth heat of the first race, while
making the turn on the last lap before
entering the home stretch, there was a col-
ligion between Bert Anderson, driven by
C. T. Miller, of Altoona, and Marjoretta,
driven by Irvin Gray, of Stormstown, with
the result that the latter was thrown from
his}sulkey, alighting on his face. He re-
ceived a number of ugly soratches and
bruises as well as a sprained back. He
was plucky enough, however, to get him-
sell in shape and drive the remaining heat,

Financially, the fair was a success, the
net receipts being a little in excess of those
of last year. Comparatively, Wednesday
this year was just a trifle bester than last
year; Thursday showed a slight falling off
from last year while Friday was very much
in excess of last year. Of course the fair
company put out a good deal more money
this year for free attractions eo that when
everything is settled up they will realize
only a small sum in advance of last year.
Bat with this they feel satisfied, especially
as all who attended the fair bad nothing
but words of commendation to speak [or
the efforts of the managers to give the peo-
ple of Centre county a good exhibition.
