t'er from TiMtshooift--l i iangle Co. Ed J. Fleming, one of Arkansas City's young and very promising attorneys, has accepted a Muttering offer liom the Trapshooters-Trianrlo Oil as general attorney for company in Oklahoma with headquarters in TuIhU. and he goes there at once to begin his new duties. Mr.

Fleming left for Tul3a at an early hour this morning to look after some court matters for the company which are In litigation at present, but he will return on Wednesday or Thursday to prepare to move his family to that place. The city schools of Tulsa will open the fall and winter term one week from today and an Masier Francis, the bright young son of the attorney, is of school age, it is the desire of the family to move to Tuba, and become settled as soon as possible. Mr. Fleming has had the offer from the Trapshooters-Triangle company for several weeks past but only a day or two ago did he decide to accept and give up his lucrative practice in Arkansas City to make the change. His resignation as deputy county attorney is now in the hands of County Attorney James McDer-mott, of Winfield.

As yet, however, no appointment in this connection has been made. Judge C. L. Swarts, who for some time past has been a partner of Mr. Fleming in the law practice here, will continue the business in the same office, in the Home National Bank building.

Mr. Fleming will return to Arkansas City front time to time and will assist his former partner in all their cares now investigation in the courts. His position with the big oil company will not take up all his lime and he will engage in the practice of law also, at Tulsa. Mr. Fleming leaves a big practice in tho courts of Kansas to accept the position at Tulsa.

He is acknowledged to bo one of (he very best attorneys in southern Kansas, and in the entire state for that matter. He enjoyed in this vicinity, probably the largest practice of any atioiney in Cowley county. His honesty and sincerity are not questioned by clients or nieiu-bers of his profession. For two he served as prosecuting at corney oi' county and in all lefal traiic-ictions while in that office, conducted the state's affairs in a succnr.si'n' aid admirable manner. Mr.

Fleming has been a resident of this city since 1 889 and he is well and favorably known to all (he present day "and many of the old time ctixesis ol Ihis community. His friends wll' know, without hesitation to debate the question, that he will make good in the new position. His office in Tulsa will be in the New World building there, rooms 401-2-3. It is with regret, that the many friends of Mr. and Mrs.

Fleming son Francis, and daughter, Betty Virginia, will learn of their departure from Arkansas City. Their aequatnt-ancees here will recommend this estimable family to the good people of Tulsa. A. C. Traveler.

Mr. and Mrs. Fleming formerly resided in Winfield. Mrs. Fleming was Miss Ethel Sadil before her marriage.

Dancing Party for Miss Schuler. Miss Ida Jacouus gave an exceptionally prcjty dancing party, Friday evening at the Guild hall in compliment to her cousin, Miss Beryl Schuler of Jacksonville, Fla. The hall was profusely decorated with baskets filled with sunflowers, the Kansas state flower which were attractively arranged. Music was furnished by Miss Bess Stiff and Earl Lockyear. During the dance a special prize dance which was a uneque and pretty innovation was featured.

The couples formed a line and marched around the hal several times during which time they drew numbers for partners. As the dance progressed the music ceased and the numbers called which seated the couples holding corresponding number. All numbers were called and the remaining couple awarded the prize. Miss Virginia Jennings and Silver Fuller were each awarded a box of candy as being the successful couple. Punch was served throughout the evening.

At eleven-thirty o'clock refreshments were served. Dr. and Mrs. L. A.

MISS KING FOR COUNTY CLERK AM) MISS WILLIAMS FOR REGISTRAR.

Withdraw From Democratic Ticket in Interest of Harmony and Good Will Has the political millennium the era of good will arrived in Cowly County? From the withdrawals, of candidates noirmuit-eil nn Imth vnnnl.li- can and democratic tickets it would appear so. The era was started by the withdrawal of Hon. L. D. Moore from the republican ticket to do his bit in the war.

This left the field clear for Mr. P. H. Albright for representative. Now comes Miss Julia B.

King, democratic candidate for county clerk and Miss Nina Williams, candidate on the same ticket or register of deeds and likewise withdraw from their ticket, leaving the field clear for their republican opponents, one of whom is a candidate for a second term, and, as Miss King so generously declares, is by precedent and custom, having filled his office efficiently, to retain it for a second term. Miss King's withdrawal notice is a ringing and patriotic document, couched in a tone of kindliness unusual in political campaigns. It is as follows: To the Democratic Central Committee: Gentlemen: I take this opportunity of expressing to you and to the democratic party, my appreciation of the honor conferred in making me your nominee for county clerk. It was wholly unsolicited bn my part, therefore the greater compliment, and if the country was not in such a state of unrest over this terrible war, the decision in regard to my candidacy might be different. After due consideration I feel that a local, political campaign, in view of the momentous war questions, is unwise, and not demanded by the rank and file of the party.

If my memory serves me correctly, three or four of the offices are now filled by people who are serving their first term and, so far as I know, they are giving general satisfaction. There is a kind of unwritten, political law, that when a local officer makes cood during his first term he is entitled to the second. More especially is this true at this particulai Lime, when the dividing issues betweer the two great parties are all but eliminated in the agreed paramount issue. "Lick the kaiser, and make the work safe for democracy." The animosities engendered by a spirited, local campaign would have a tendency to hamper the harmonious working of tho two great parties in the Red Cross, liberty loan and other war activities. I am sure the time and money I would have to spend in the campaign could be far more wisely and usefully spent in war necessities.

JJeJieve me. ladies and gentlemen, I am no "slacker." I am every inch a red-olooded American, and 1 am heartily in svmnathv with our beloved pres ident, Woodrow Wilson, in this worldwide democracy movement. Asam thankinsr vou. one mid nlh for the honor conferred upon me but which, under present conditions I deem it best to decline, I am, Verv respectfully, JULIA B. KING.

Following- her announcement Miss Williams says: To the Democratic Central Committee: Gentlemen: I thoroughly approve of the sentiments expressed by Miss King, and also wish to thank you for the honor conferred upon me, but think it best to decline the nomination for register of deeds of this coun- ty. Respectfully, NINA M. WILLIAMS. Her Soldier Boy, A wedding which comes as a surprise to Arkansas City people was announced today when it vu public that Miss J3dna Berroih of this city, was united in ma i iij.se Sergeant Major Geo.

Over Ninety Absentees Registered Last Week, Men in All PROFESSIONS. TUa nviint OVA ffYY til fit A rt the new registrants in Cowley County I of all men from 18 to 45 years of age, September 12th. The local board began to make plans to carry out the second registration shortly after President Wiison signed the new man power act extending the draft ages. The new registration includes all male persons between the ages of eighteen and forty-five inclusively. It seems there has been some confusion and misunderstanding on this point and the local board is anxious that public understand who are included in the new draft ages.

All men the new ages must register who have not previously registered. This means the person's age upon the 1 day of the registration, September 12. ages are inclusive. If a person lacks one day being 18 he is not included in the registration, but if he lacks only one day of reaching the age of 46 it will be necessary for him to register at his regular voting precinct. Persons included in this draft who wish to register in Cowley County, but who are at other points at the present time, may do so without returning.

Any persons away from home wishing to register here may do so by going to the local board where he is located, and having a registration card filled out and having it returned to the office of the Cowley County board before the registration day. The certificate will then be forwarded back to them. Ninety-three men residing in Cowley County and will be absent from home on Thursday had registered at the local board office up to early Monday morning. Men working away from home and home for week-end visits, others employed with the various oil companies and in the railway service as well as traveling salesmen and boys leaving for college were included in the registrant. Mayor C.

N. Hunt of Arkansas City will be qualified by Tuesday which will enable him to register any absentee there, thus eliminating the waste of time and expense to the reg-' istrant who otherwise would be forced to come to Winfield.

The enrollment was remarkable and up to Tuesday noon more students had enrolled in the high school than any previous year. The enrollment numbers in the classes were as follows: Post graduates 3 Seniors 104 Juniors 140 Sophomores ..:.131 Freshmen 207 Making a grand total of 585 enrolled at 12 o'clock noon Tuesday September 10 which is the largest in the history of the school at the opening of the year. In 1916 only 543 had enrolled at 6 o'clock of the second day and until 1918 had held the place of honor of any year. This year exceeds it by 42 and the year of 1917 by 56. The Freshmen class is by far the largest in the existence of the high school.

The large enrollment of this class is due to the large number of graduates of the Junior high school and students from the ru ral districts. In the Junior high school 300 students were enrolled while the grade schools were not outclassed in their enrollment. The total enrollment of the high schools and grade is 1797. In the Senior and Junior high schools 8 9 3 have enrolled for work, whilti 904 are students in the five grade schools.
