FIFTEEN CENTS A WEEK
ELEcTIoN ECHOES.
The Contest At the Polls For County
Election.

Tomorrow the voters OF the county
will be called on to elect trustee,
sheriff, attorney. general, tax assessor,
school commissioners and constables,
to hold Office for two years. In the
race for sheriff and trustee the lines
have been strongly drawn and hot
fight has been made, and 1t will be
kept up until the polls close to-mor-
row evening. The candidates in this
contest for sheriff are Jno. T. Station,
Jas. M. Collier, Robt. Lyle and Hen
ry Clark, either of which would
make a good sheriff. The candidates
In the trustees race are more numer-
Gus. They are Geo. w. Warfield, the
present incumbent, Paul d. Marable,
r. III. Pickering, VIII G. higgins,
p. p. Neblett and Jno. Melon. 1t is
rare thing that six better men offer
for the same Office. They are all
men Of individual merit, and each
has friends in the county, consequent
ly the finish will be hotly contested
at the polls.
In the attorney-general ring there
are three starters: G. l.. Pitt, Thos.
l.. Yancey and w. N. Woodson.
While the interest centers in the
trustee and sheriff races, there will
be an interesting finish for attorney
general.
BY the withdrawal of Powers,
Dean and Smith, in the assessors
race, the fight has been narrowed
down between w. L. WaEfield, Jas.
I. Williams, Capt. R. A. Wilson and
Julien Ratcliffe, colored. Here is a
contest in which good judgment
should he used, in order to insure the
defeat of a Republican.
The candidates for constable in the
Twelfth district are Geo. Dye, L. p.
Jackson, Forrest Stafford and S. A.
Dabney, while VIM. Kleeman, 9. M.
Barker, B. M. Barksdale and DR.. w.
A. Shelby are announced for school
commissioner.
Now, with the candidates intro.
ducet, the LEAF CHRONICLE advises
all voters to go to the polls on to NOR
row and cast their ballots for their
choice. Avoid any ill-feeling, and
don't place your money on horse
unless you are certain he will win.

LOUISVILLE, Aug. 3.-The rush for
Denver began yesterday, when tick
cts to the Triennial Couclave of the
knights Templar were put on sale In
the offices of the Ohio and Missis-
sippi, Louisville, Evansville and st.
Louis, New Albany and Chicago, and
the Pennsylvania lines. The latter
two are by the way of Chicago, and
the two former via st. Louis. The
Pennsylvania came in the fight at the
elenth hour, announcing rate OF
$3.50 for the round trip, the same
agreed upon by the other lines. A
great deal of the travel will 20 by
way of Chicago, over the Monon and
Pennsylvania, the travellers thus get
ting two days 10 the Worlds Fair
city besides the usual Limitation on the
tickets at Denver. The bringing In of
the Chicago lines has caused the
west-bound roads to get on their
hustling armor, and to day the fight
begins in earnest.
General Passenger Agents hope the
knights Templar rate will not lead
to such decentralization OF tariffs as
did the Christian Endeavor business,
and will take means to prevent 1t.
Every precaution will be iaken to
keep the return tickets from falling
into the hands of brokers. II this be
done the tariffs can be restored next
Monday.

OF Bcrlin's most prominent dentists, in
the following manner, says u writer in
the st. Loris Post Dispatch.
The various circus performances of
iron jaw development, whereby L man
hanging from a trapczc holds another by
Il strap between his teeth. denotes such
a powerful strength Of the muscles Of
the jaws and neck that to layman
such u feat seems little short IF d mira
cl...
But this demonstrates only To what
,X:cnt the strength of the muscles Of
the Jaw can br developed by CORE
spending exercise. 1t is not A. difficult
a, il seems u find out the average or
binary power OF these muscles.
~ Hat steel or iron band pierced AZ
the end with TWO holes through which
u piece of wire can be pulled serves for
this purpose. The band Is laid across
the teeth OF the lower jaw a. far back
As the corners of the mouth will permit.
The weights are attached TO the wire,
and must touch the floor or table when
the mouth is held open. The wires are
taut. and the person making the exper-
imcnt must stand perfectly erect.

PRICES IN MONTE CARLO.
Remarkable Instance of the ExtortIon
Its Hotelk-epers.

Remarkable Instance of the ExtortIon of
Its Hotelk-epers.
Frequent complaints have been made
OF late of the conscienceleSs extortion
practiced upon foreigners by the hotel
keepers of the Riviera, who are appar-
emily doing their best to kill the goose
that has laid them SO many golden
eggs. An incident reported by the cor
respondent of the London Times at
Nice seems to prove that il costs even
more to die at Monte Carlo than il does
TO live there. 1t appears that II short
time ago well-known Englishman was
taken i'll and died of dropsy at one of
the hotels, and his wife, who is a MEM
Der of the English nobility, decided to
take the body to England for burial.
Upon inquiring as to the cost of this
she was informed that il would be nee
esSary 10 embalm the body, and that
with the railway charges for transport
the expense would amount to over fouI
hundred pounds. There were certain
fixed charges made by the principality
Of Monaco, said the doctor and under
taker, which must be paid, and this was
the lowest possible estimate This
amount it must be remembered was ex-
elusive of hotel charges or doctors fees
Tor attendance upon the patient; it was
simply for embalming, for the cost of
the coffin and it's accessories and for
transport To London. An appeal was
made To Baron de Farincourt, the gov
ernor general Of Monaco, who declared
that no taxes whatever were levied upon
foreigners, dead or alive, by the princi-
pality. The bill was reduced finally by
nearly one-half, but the whole subject
is 10 be brought 10 the attention of the
British foreign office
