Sharpton, Jan. 6.--Perhaps there was never a larger or more intelligent audience in the historic town hall, Cataraqui, then on * nomination day, when Mr. Simpson, the veteran town- Iship clerk, who has graced the posi- | tion for over a quarter of a century, announced that the time for nomina- tions had closed, and that the speeches would now begin. The speak- ing continued for four hours and for the most part was listened to with marked attention. The electors seem- ed aroused to the fact that it was necessary to take an interest in the affairs of the township and county. There was much criticism of the way business was managed during the past lgear, The erection of Loughboro-d.ake bridge, and Grass' bridge, came in for a good deal of Tault-finding. It was pointed out that Grass' bridge, al- though not on a road travelled much by the public, would probably cost 82,500. It was also pointed out that the county was fast running into debt, and the floating debt now is $60,000. One speaker said that taxes were getting to be a good deal like rent, and significantly remarked, "Where is this thing going to stop?' The con- solidated debt of the county will be wiped out on December 31st; 1909 It now looks as though by thrt time there might be another big aebt [or consolidation. . Several of the ingly of © Reeve very ill, all agree man he did what right. At the annual school meeting, H. Viooman, chairman, S. Somerville was elected trustee, D.

RAPID WORK. 1 Developing and Printing For Cinematograph Displays. As regards the rapidity with which' daily events can be photographed and shown within an hour or two to the + | general . publi¢, the following account of the arrangements made for the Grand National 1907 race will suffice to give some idea of this. Six taking machines were at work on different points of the racecourse, and a special van wus. in readiness for the films be developed while en route to Lén- don. The moment the race was over the train started, and while running full spe homeward the operators were hard at work developing. In- deed, not only were the films develop- , but they were washed and dried on a special mechanical drum. On arrival a moter car in waiting eartied the film quickly to the print- 1]ing esta' ment, where 520 feet of it was pri m to the positive film. As soon . .his was dried it was rush- ed off to thg Alhambra, Empire and Oxford theatres, shown to an al- final cup tie 'was played at. the Cris tal palace a motor cat drove the film to London, and within- thres hours a cinematograph display of the match was given. The royal wedding which took place recently at Wood Norton, was another jon on which remarkable celerity was displayed by the energetic cine matographers. The bridegroom and the procession were - photographed | with apparatus which had been per- feetly adjusted beforehand. The mo- ment the necessary photographs were secured the films were rushed through at breakneck speed, and, as «is well known, the wedding ceremony Was shown to Londoners on the evening of the sdime day. : To get relief from indigestion, hil- take a few ' Liver "- jousness, constipation or torpid liver disturbs the stomach orl RITISH,WHIG, TUESDAY, JANUARY 7, 1908.
