THE VOTE IN THE SOUTH.
Continued from First Page.

ber The argument is that this section does not
apply to electors that its language is expressly lin
tied to State officers and members of the Legislature
and members of Congress and that all elector is not
State officer; and that, moreover, the period
OF thirty-fve days would carry the canvass beyond
the first Wednesday in December, when the electors
are to vote for President while the act of 1917
specially names the Tuesday after the fourth Mon
day in November. Gov. Sterns has no opinion nor
desire on this subject and politically the question is
not OF great Importance as a majority of the State
Canvassing Board are Republicans; but this question
must be settled before the canvassing begins. This
probably will not be before the end OF this week,
after which, however, if the returns all in, the
canvasslng should begin.
l have no doubt that the State has been carried
for Hayes and Wheeler by small majority, which
ought to be increased largely if proof can be made
OF Democratic frauds, of voting b. Georgians and
Alabamians, of intimidation, and other methods of
illegaty increasing the Democratic majorites. The
difficulties of getting proof are however, consider
able The distances are great The counties
trolled by Democratic white men are unsafe to be
visited by United States commission or q Republi-
can. except under the protection Of troops.
If such proofs are to be received or
are necessary they will be. submitted so
far as practicable. There is reason to apprehend
unfairness in the canvassng board or the part of
the Governor if he makes the canvass. Gov. sSterns
and Secretary of State McLin and Controller Cow
gill are men of the highest character, and there is
only this to be said Of AttorneyGencral Cooke, that
while his Republican colleagues have prudeBtly
Trained from expressing any opinion to the
result of the election, and Secretary McLin has
even resigned tho editorship of a Republican
newspaper here on account of his relation to
the canvass Mr.. Cooke has pledged himself
in public telegram sent North under
his signature that Florida has gone for Tilden by
1000 majority. The canvass will not believe, be
completed until Dec. D. nor if the State is close
now appears, will the result positively be known
until that time. Meantime inpatient walters

LIGHTNING WRITING GODS NAME
ON A BLAsPHEMER.

Some Of our contemporaries seem dis
posed to question the truth of our state
ment that negro, who was killed by
lightning few days ago in Campbell
county had the letters "GoD" on his
body. Dr. Thomas f. Norman, whose
Post Office address is Mt Zion. Camp
bell Co.. has furnished the Richmond
Christim Adrocdte an account of the
circumstances. from which We extract
the following:
"0n the evening of the 9th inst. Per-
ry Jones and George Brown, colored
men, notoriously the most profane, wick
ed, persons in the whole community,
with other colored persons took refuge,
during the rain accompanied by light
ming, in tobacco barn on the land of
George Greasy.
''From their several positions one
would have thought that two of the 9th
ers were in more, and the third in as
much danger as Jones and Brown were.
They, as was their custom, were cursing
and swearing. Suddenly the lightning
descended upon them, and while the
other three were comparatively unin-
jured, Jones was killed and Brown was
stricken down senseless and for a time
almost lifeless. He revived after few
minutes, and soon seemed to have re-
gained all of his strength, but was dumb
and bereft of his mind for several hours.
The lightning had set fire to his cloth
ing, and he was burned on his chest,
left side and arm. before the fire was
extinguished. In his maniac efforts TO
free himself from those who were re-
straning him the skin was rubbed from
the burned flesh and presented the fol-
lowing characters, GOD. Very close
representation, to say the least of them,
of the capital letters used in printing the
name of Deity, while around and be-
tween them the skin was unremoved, and
apparently not burned. The above
characters occupied the angles of an eq-
uilateral triangle. which, as you arc
doubtless aware, was in ancient days
the smybol of Deity. The man then ap-
pears to have been branded with the
name of his Creator in the symbolic Ian
guage, it may be of his forefathers three
thousand years ago, and in the printed
language of the nation to which he be-
longs"

GOOD BYE, OLD HOUsE--GooD
BYE.

Good bye, old hOuse-good bye;
tbs time to bid adieu-
To say the last parting words.
And change the old for new;
To give tear in memory
or brightness that is flown.
That now but comes in htful dreams,
Like leaves from roses blown
Good bye. old house--good bye:
An old friend thou hast been
True and faithful-ever kind.
When friends nearer kin
Have closed their hearts to sympathy
And turned the scorhful eye;
But have found in thy dear rooms
A balm for every sigh
I've sat aud wa,ch'd each mute thing speak
Till brain grew almost wild
Aud with a weary. aching heart
Have longed TO be child? rsN 7
Yet not in ehildhoOd's careless hours
I've seen the sunniest beams.
But in my grlhood's year Of flowers
In girlhOOds golden dreamsi
Thou art bound to me BY the tie Of love,
And by the summers breath
Bound to me by the love Of home,
And by a loved ones death;
BOund-by all the lights and shades
That have touched my youthful brow
Yet light have been the shadows,
But dark their coming now
Good bye-good bye-I cannot stay;
Yet every little thing
Looks lovlier than ever,
At the coming on OF spring:
But bravely am going.
Yet not without a sigh
'Tis all that can give thee
Good bye, old house-good byei
