Workman were called to Brussels on Saturday evening through a severe accident sustained by their mother that afternoon, Mrs. Alex. Conon, of con. -.5, Morris, aged 65 years, was leaving Brussels, accompanied by her son, when the horse ran away, There appeared to be nothing to frighten the horse when it made its dash for liberty, which caused the death of the driver. The horse was being driven down Mills street, which, at the edge of the town, takes a consid- erable turn. Just before reaching the turn, the horse bolted and the harness "broke, while the turn was being made. Mrs. Conon was thrown from the buggy and dashed against a tree, The force of the impact/broke both of her limbs, her shoulder and an umber of ribs, while her scalp was badly torn, She was carried to the home of Dr. Hamilton, Brussels, a dentist who resided near by, and was given immediate attention. She died ata o'clock Sunday morning. The son escaped uninjured. EXCELLENT FIRE PRO- TECTION FOR SEAFORTH. The firemen on Tuesday evening were out in full force testing out the new water system with power sup- plied by the gasoline engine. Three lines of hose were used all at the same time, and the pressure was suf- ficient to shoot the streams far above the town hall, The new outfit will provide plenty of water in case of fire and with Seaforth's fine squad of firemen, the fire risk in town is reduced to a minimum. HAYING STARTS. There are several reports of hay having been cut this week in the vi- cinity around town, and the outlook is for an early season this year. So far mostly alfalfa and sweet clov- er has been cut, but if fine weather prevails during the next two weeks, the hay harvest will be well under -way. The prospects are foci a fine crop this year, as the spring has been quite favorable to a good growth of hay. SONG SERVICE.. The Methodist choir will give a song service in the church Sunday evening, June 24th. Everybody wel- come, START OPERATIONS D,ay Brothers, of Guelph, started On their contract of laying the mains for the new waterworks system on Monday morning, when they had a gang of men at work on the street. A large digging machine was, on hand and attracted much attention when it started operations on Victoria street It has a large wheel at the back, fitted with a number of scoops which pick up the earth as it revolves, and deposits it on a short conveyor belt, whiqh dumps the material on one side. On Victoria street progress was ra- ther slow owing lb the large number of big boulders found in the ground at that particular ,point, but the work will proceed quite rapidly,wberever the ground is free of. stones. Another difficulty is the, number o£ pipes from private houses met with, as apparent- ly there is no chart of these to be • found. , - A gang of men are following the digger to lay the water mains and caulk them. Approximately three and a quarter miles of six and eight - inch pipes have to be laid on the streets of the town. WINTHROP.

Th day wasdark and threatened rain, bis there was a big crowd in town by two o,'clock. The Returning Officer, Mr. A. Mc» in Gov Walton, presided from 12 noon MC - Gavin, of 2 ,p m„At"that hour, he an: - flounced thp n:-notinced.thb nomination of. Wm. Roby! Somerville, agent, John•Scott, cif Sea- forth;.E. R. Wigle, agent, D. M. Mc agent, Jam Lean, of G derich; J. M. Govenlock, s Hinchley, Seaforth. Mr. McGavin was then elected chairman, 'f r the public meeting and aftermuch jockeying for position by the speaker he called upon Mr Gov- enlock to s the same tit Mr. Gove eak itt` for ten minutes, with to reply, lock severely criticized the work of the four sessions of the - Drury government, and said the last few months became a huge joke. There was no control. A former mem- ber of the Drury party charged the premier with unfaithfulness and being in the market. Chaos then broke out. Group government is a failure. He criticized the Mother's Pensions Act for giving more to mother's in the cities than in town. Good roads are costing too much money. Broadening. out of the Highway was castigated. The cost was so preposterous the fed- eral engineers would not pass them. Mr. Govenlock believed we should pay as we go. Education costs had also run up over 300 per cent., and people had to pay the cost. He blam- ed Han. P. Smith for -wasting money and said he sent a personal friend, 11 t high b who knew nothing about finance over . then up a year later. Widening the r roads was also condemn tosell bonds ined. He •• no ds England at a cost ofsaid $4,000 for 50 days. Blamed Drury for one of the Beakers had talked of the no Redistribution. , seven sleepers, but we had the "seven Wm, R. Somerville said the last it in four years. Drury would abolish patronage. He had rewarded Nil one of the men who opened seats for - himself or Raney or Doherty with the' best going, and the other day gave an $8,000 position to j. W, Cur.' rie. The timber commission to',try ,;o fix something on Ferguson had cost Ontario $2.0,Q00, and.all'they had • to show for it was '$170,000, and boith' Drury -and -Hay said not a single charge was proven against the integ- rity of Ferguson, The. Present gov- ernment spent two and a quarter mil- lions on lawyers for work they should have done themselves, Mr. Biggs had spent money like. water on the roads. He was so ex- travagant that the federal engineers would not pass his work, and the pro- vince has to ray. The same is true of schools. Drury spent $5 to edu- cate the children in the primary schools to every $85 spent on the secondary a schools to educate profes- sional p ofes- sional men. Then, agriculture was neglected. Why did they not give the farmers. every morning the weather bulletins over the phone and twice a week the market reports could be sent at small cost, but nothing was done. The Backus deal also came in for condemnation. Here water power and timber on 4,906 square miles was given away for $50,000, which should have been sold for 25 million dollars. Mr. Wigle thought it was time for a change. Mr. Govenlock replying, said tl:e Backus deal was no credit to Drury or Raney. He condemned building culverts a atprices and•lowing government was •to blame for large debts, but Drury raised the money by new taxes which the people did not feel. Doherty lifted the embargo on cattle and Mr.(,,.Raney had carried out the laws most rigoroust'y If elected he would seye to the best of his a'bility, Archie Hisl p had no quarrel with Mr. Somervill¢,;but his statement that Doherty had .emhe was a good man oved the embargo showed that " gone wrong.” a convulsed the Lib- erals aud Co tservatives by saying that the South Sea Islanders had a legend that th crowing of the cocks was the cause f the sunrise and that it was quite a reasonable to believe a Y that Doherty s the cause of the Va embargo being',raised. He said that: people expected Drury to remove the debt and they had, en- ormously increased it. They spent 38 millions last year instead of the 19 millions spent by Hearst—almost as much as the Dominion government before the war spent. The debt has increased by 143 millions—a terrible condition for the public. No odds how it raised, every cent conies finally from labor and from the farmers. The cost of timber licenses is all charged back to every man who buys lumber. The people have; to pay and generally those least able have to pay the most. Drury cannot justify the debt he has imposed. His government has spent money like drunken sailors! "Boh"'MdMiilan, Seaforth, the well- known U.F.O. organizer, was the next speaker and said the Liberal govern- ment at Ottawa, was spending more money than Drury. Look at two mil- lions spent in Paris the other day. He said the farmers were 'handling the finances of their townships better than the clever men were doing in towns. - . He.claimed all governments were spending too much money. The claim that the Liberals had exper- ience, drew the statement that the only experience they had was' in tits cold shades of opposition for a great many years. Mr. McMillan defended the claim that Doherty removed the embargo. Mr. Wigle Speaks. Mr. Wigle complimented the previ- ous speakers on leaving out person- alties and so far as he was concerned he would never stoop to use them, Mr. Wigle took top the O.T.A. and showed that the Conservative party was the only one that gave any tem- perance legislation. Mr, Mowat in 1894 promised legislation if the people were in favor, but though there was a majority vote in favor he did nothing. Again. in 1902 a similar promise was made.with the sarfte result Nothing was done until Sir -James Whitney came into powerwhen by means of 36 amendments to the Act, people were gradually educated 'to the bene- fit, until the O.T.A. was passed by Hearst. Mr. Hearst passed. the Act as a war measure. In 1919, carrying out his ,promise, he gave a referen- dam, and it was only ingratitude on the part • of those who accepted the Act, to vote against the giver. Re- garding the present situation, all the 'parties were"dry." ' Mr, Wigle said he stood for a strict and impartial enforcentetit of the Act. In private as well as in public he stood for a rigorous enforcement, so long as it stands on the statutes. Referring to the Hydro. the speaker asked what Carmichael had done to assist the -.farmers. He was in the cabinet and on the Hydro Commis - tinkers" now, so far as administra- tion went. The giving of fishing li- censes was also condemned. • The"meeting closed with God Save i'he King, and cheers for Govenlock and Wigle. MANLEY. Mr, and Mrs. John Murray, Jr., from Kitchener, were visitors under the parental roof ofUr, John Murray. Mr, and Mrs.. J. F McMann, and Mr. and Mrs, G. H. Holland, and Mr, and Mrs. Andrew Dantzer were the guests of Mr, and Mrs. Fred Eckart last Sunday. Mr..3, M. Eckart and Mr. Louie Devereaux paid our burg a flying visit during the week. Mr. Sam Chesney was to give a demonstration of the Sharpless milk- er but as the firm had sent a Hydro motor instead of a Delco motor, the demonstration was postponed until the Delco motor arrives.
