No one can reasonably complain Of a
lack OF interest on the part OF the citizens
OF Aberdeen in the school election last
Monday, and the large vote polled shows
the benefit of a little good natured rivalry.
The contest was spirited, and consider
able humor was lent the occasion by the
desperate efforts OF some OF the advocates
OF the mems ticket, who were tearfully
fearful! the women would win, as also by
those OF certain discrcdited class, who
sought to obtain revenge for imagined
injury, in zealously laboring for the wo-
men, much to the disgust of the latter
and to the detriment of their ticket. The
candidates themselves took but little, if
any, part in the contest, but their friends
made things lively for few hours.
There were 1853 votes cast, as compared
with ITO last year, the ladies polling about
one-half. The following is the vote in
detail

His Original Idea.

Il don't see why they didn't regulate
things differently" said the positive man
who complains about the heat These
people who fixed up the calendar made a
mighty poor job of it, it seems to me-"
You couldn't make any difference in the
weather..
II couldn't That shows just how thought
less the world is. There's about one man
in two hundred who really has ideas. and
the other hundred and ninety-nine gener-
ally put in most of their time making fun
of him. They let the short months like
February and November and April come in
cool weather, when we could stand the
temperature. Why didn't they put 'em all
in bunch in summer time, so that we
could get through with 1t? Here we are
compelled to drag along with the longest
months and the longest days and the hot
t. st weather at the same time. No wonder

The suggestion that, after the contest has
fairly opened. MIR. Mckinley may make
tour of the south is In line with the promise
that this years campaign is to be excep-
tional in every way. 1t is assumed that
the east will take care of itself; that
that section will be solidihed for the
republicans by the action of the democ-
racy at Chicago The silver states of the
west are expected to stand by silver. But
why, IT Is asked, should the south. with so
much at stake in the line of material de-
velOpment. resist appeals on the score of
protection made to her by the foremost
representative of the policy in this country?
The republican leaders regard it as one of
the puzzles of politics that the south should
so long have appeared to favor free trade
She is enormously rich in undeveloped
resources. Her wealth of raw materials in
coal and iron ore alone is almost beyond
computation. She has likewise vast forests
Of valuable timber, yet almost un-
touched. Sugar Is the hope and life of
Louisiana. Cotton manufacturing is rapid
ly making It's way. Georgia and the two
Carolinas are already turning a great num-
Der OF spindles. and new mills are on the
cards for early erection. This would seem
to be the very territory to receive the gos-
pol of protection, properly presented. There
are no silver mines in the south Whatever
of personal interest may attach to the
silver question she does not feel. Why,

Ihose children who have gone to school
and have studied history know of course,
that July is the birthday Of the republic:
that on that day. one hundred and twenty
years ago, the fathers of the country signed

uon OF Independence that dissolved the ties
OF union with Great Britain and laid the
foundations Of this free government But

then, as the problem comes up should the
matters. be expected to support free COIN
age as against an economic policy from
which she would so greatly profit?
what thorough canvass Of the south
would result in Is all a mystery. Things
political have been in one groove SO long
there that it is difficult to gauge them by any
olher measure. The race question has been
the only question. The democracy has been
accepted as representing white supremacy,
ana therefore has had, until very recently,
everything Its own way. But the race Ques-
uon, II not settled, is not the burning ques-
uoH 1t used to be. The south is in no dan
ger OF negro domination, and knows it.
She Is In control of her own local affairs
ana mas no fear of losing it. Why then it
Is asked, Is the time not ripe for a thorough
canvass OF that section on national lines as
applied to the south's own material ad-
vancement and prosperity?
If Mr.. Mckinley goes down there he will
OF course but make the path straight for
others. 1t Is thought that many of the
abiest of the party leaders will follow him.
