Solomons, her adopted father. Twenty
years ago she married Mr. E. S. Abra-
hams, teller of the National Bank Of Sa-
Vannah Their married life was a happy

voted children to mourn her death.

The count Of the ballots was begun as
soon as the polls closed and was taken
up right in the rooms where the boxes
were located. The count for each district
progressed separately and to itself, the
idea being that as the count in the dis
tricts was concluded the boxes should be
turned over 10 Manager Stubs, the coin

Is concluded. II is not likely that the count

were still busy at o'clock this morning.
and there was no prospect OF any consoii-
dalton being made unth sometime this

LIBERALS FIRST IN LINE.
In Possession at Daylight and staId
There,

Thcre.
The scenes around the court house were
fun OF interest. Long before the polls
opened, in fact from IL o'clock the night
before the Liberals had been camped
around the court house with score or
more of men on duty at each booth.
over at Armory hail. the Liberals kept
open house all night long. There were
between 800 and 400 of them doing this
duty. and at every alarm that the Citi-
zens were come, the boys rushed from
the hall to the boxes, ready to defend
their claim to be first there by right Of
being first on hand. There were several
such alarms during the night.
The Liberals felt satisfied that their
opponents would march up in strength
some time before daybreak, and attempt
to drive them from their places of van
tage at the court house They were
ready to resist such an attempt with
force, If necessary. But they were dis
appointed. No such attempt was made.
Tho Citizens apparently had all gone
home and gone to bed and subsequent re-
suits seem to bear out the appearances.
Occasionally a lone Citizens Club man
would stroll by, gaze at the crowd and
go on home. Prominent citizens, busi-
ness and professional men, took part in
this vigil at the court house.
At daybreak the Citizens began to
struggle up in twos and threes, but be-
ing unorganized and in small numbers,
they made no attempt for places of want
age. BY o'clock there was a considera-
Bile crowd of them on hand, but their OPP
ponents were lined up in strength at
every BOOTH and they quietly took their
places in the rear. They had evidently
decided to let their opponents get the ad-
vantage of their early muster rather than
attempt to force their way. Later in the
day they realized the immense advantage
which their opponents had gained by

In the great literary and scientific re-
viyal that took place in the sixteenth
century, botany made fresh departure.
The discovery Of America had brought
vast number of new plants to Europe,
and their study doubtless stimulated
the more complete study of those of the
old world. The great commercial activ-
ity Of the century mUSs also have had
its influence. Ships were bringing new
products from all parts, and among
these plants were not forgotten But
from whatever cause it arose, the great
impulse and renewed activity in the
discovery and study Of plants were quite
remarkable. They produced a large
body Of students, whose labors were un-
wearied, and a wonderful amount OF
botanical literature.
Among these students were such
men as Lonicer, L'Obel, Caesalpinus.
L'Ecluse, Mattioli, Caspar and John
Bauhin, Conrad Gcsner, Pona, Leonard
Fuchs, Prosper Alpinus, DodOens and
many others. And these men were not

were great travellers, whose delight was

native countries. Caspar Bauhin collect

The first account in which the tobac-

sent from Haiti TO Peter Martyr in the
year l496-40O years ago exactly-that
by Hernandez de Oviedo. the man who
introduced tobacco culture into Spain.
In 1861 Nicot. the man for whom nico-
tine, the active principle Of tobacco. was
named, brought it under the notice Of
Catherine de Medici. to whom he pre-
sented somo plants grown in his own
garden from seed brought over from
Florida Nicot appears TO have been
the first European TO use tobacco rs a
medicine. proof of which may be found
in Arber's reprint of the famous tract
issued by King James, and which bore
the title Of "A COunterblaste to Tohac-
co. " The very earliest detailed account
Of the tobacco plant in the English Ian
guage is by Mr.. Arber (mentioned
above), bearing date Of l557.-St. Louis
