To say that Congressman Strobe has

Aside from the fact that this district

dous majority. Why the popocrats
demonstrated such little judgment in
selecting an opponent against Mr..
Strobe is problem not easy to compre-
bend Even il the nomina alton Of Mr..
Broadly was dictated 10y Mr. Bryan or
anyone else, it must have been manifest
to the fusion party that Mr.. Broadly had
no earthly nope OF success, even were
the district strictly democratic against
Strobe. To say the least the popocrats
could certainly have nominated a can
didate out of the array Of the aspirants
at that time, who would have made q
more active and aggressive can paign

friends need feel no uneasineee, though
they should not cease their efforts in his
behalf.
A. L. Sullivan's candidacy is source
Of much qualification to his many
friends and the entire party. While a
few OF his personal enemies have en-
deavored to disseminate the report that
his nomination was q forced one and
that he was not the real choice OF the
convention, it is absolutely safe to aver
that such q ridiculous, unfounded and
unreasonable argument cannot detract
one iota Of strength from Mr.. Sullivan.
The short time he has been county
treasurer has already demonstrated his
business ability, integrity and careful
uees. He is the first county treasurer
that has given q bond to the people
which is rs safe rs the present money
standard. dis bond-aguarantee bond,
given by an institution OF unqueetion-
able relisbility-absolutely secures the
taxpayers OF the county from any loss
whatever, and the example that he has
set is one which will and should here
after be emulsted by all public officials.
Mr.. Sullivsn's record is as commend.
able 10 his constituents as they could
desire. He is farmer. and will receive
the strength OF the farmers. as they
know him as he really is-fully capable
and worthy the suffrage Of the voters
OF this county.

PLEASING ENTERTAINMENT
Given by the Ladies Hospital Asso- citation at Bluff City Club
 Hall Last Night.

The entertainment given lastnight at the Bluff City Club Hall under the auspices of the Ladies Hospital As sociation, was greeted by small but very appreciative audience.
 The performance began with the one-act curtain-raiser, introducing "A Happy Pair" with Miss Etta Si- mon and Mr Walter Trulock in the title roles This was Miss Simon's $ first appearance before the public, and she won laurels last night that she may well be proud of Mir. Tru- lock also acquitted himself admira- bly,.
 Master John Blooms makeup and character song, sLamented Mir. Jones" was source of muchamuse- ment.
 The singing of Misses Willie and Margie, and Master Ray Atkinson elicited round after round of ap- plause.
 Miss Blanche Altheimer sang two numbers between the first and sec ond acts, which captiyated the audi ence.
 The performance concluded with the two-act side-splitting comedy, "The Three Graccs, or the Honse- maids Triumph , Miss Mamie Bradford, SIS Aunt allieStubbs, was well up in her lines, and played her part in n most charming manner. Misses Bessie Altheimer. Julia White and Mrs. T. A. Fowler, as Alvina, Malinda and Lucinda simpson, the .HThree Graces,o were as quaint and comic as they could be. The singing of Mis s Altheimer in the first act was excellent. Miss fiennie Aitheimer, the viyacious little soubrette, took the part of Susan, the housemaia, and 50 well she played her part and so pretty she looked, we do not blame Jeremiah for choosing her from all the rest. Mr. E. Wray Mar tin, as Jeremiah Sykes, the bashful nephew. again demonstrated to the public that he is an actor of rare ability.
 The Pluff City Club Hall was kind- ly donated to this most worthy cause by it's charitable members After the performance few of the younger couples participated in the light fantastic until l2 q clock.
