THE COUNTY ELECTION.

The election ia this county passed
of very quietly, In some respects II
was peculiar. Old times methods
were discarded and from the nomi
nation to the election rev methods
seemed to be adopted. The candidate
of the old politicians was rejected
by the county convention. The
local orators who had been in the
habit of eloQueAtly addressing the
voters at every country school house
were not invited to take part, and
the canvass was carried on by per
sOnal appeals to the voters.
There was no issue of general
interest before the people. The
silver resolutions adopted by the
county convention were not after
wards discussed, the various ques
tiOns of state policy had 10 part in
the canvass. 1t was strictly per-
sonal canvass, carried on by private
means. One Of the most potential
features was the enlisting Of one or
two active men in every neighbOr
hood, and strange as it may appear,
these local canvaSsers were not
always of the same political faith.
1t has been asserted that at some
precincts. local democratic can
vassers were working for the re-
publican candidate while in others
active republicans were working
zealously for the democratic candi
date. A close examination Of the
returns will show that figures Of
former elections. in most Of the
precincts, were no indication of the
result in this election. Some of the
old politicians recognized this fact
before the election. and While they
could usually forecast the result
with accuracy, they would not, this
year, venture to express an opinion.
In some respects it Was a canvass
of antagonisms. The virtues Of the
respective candidates were not so
much considered, as their faults or
faulty associations. In this respect,
we hope that it will not be the
index of future canvasses; for a
canvass involving principles is the
only one which should prevail ia a
republican government Personal
canvasses may succeed for a while,
but the mass Of the people will de
mand something better, and they
will soon begin to inquire "lor
whose good? The result Is given in
full in our returns and show ma.

The result OF a foot ball game
PLAYED by the teams of the University
of Va, and the I University Of GeOr
gia resulted in the death Of Won
Cannon, OF Georgia, from injuries
received in the game on last Satur
day afternoon. The frequent deaths
which have resulted from this
brutal game have not deferred the
faculties OF our Universities and
even of our Church Schools from
being officially connected with them
and thus giving the Endorsement OF
churches to a game which is known
to be of very brutal character.
Last week We published an &C
count Of serious injury received
at Randolph Macon College by a
son Of a former Woodstock la dy.
This game is officially endorsed
by the schools, Notwithstanding the
fact that many young men have
been killed or seriously injured
while engaged in this brutal sport.
The Legislature Of Georgia is about
to pass a law prohibiting the game
within the borders of that state.
We hope that other States will
follow the good example and that
In a short time it will not be allowed
in the United States.

ELEVENTH ANNIVERSARY
Tee Fire Department Celebration
Proves a Great Success.

the town of Lamar was well managed
by the members of the fire depart
ment, and was success IN all re-
speets. There was large attendance
from all parts Of the county, and by
the time the first race was started
Main street was crowded with spec,
tators. The weather was clear and
warm early in the afternoon, but later
storm came mp which drove away
most of the spectators of the bali
game asd interfered greatly with the
players.
The first event of the day was the
100 yard foo, race, free for all, for a
purse Of $500 Ed Silver went to
the front at the start and stayed there
easily, winning by several yards from
Ned Bannister Of Granada, who was
second,
The second race was 2 10 yard
dash for the firemen's medal, and all
who saw it know that fat men can
make star runners. There were about
dozen entries, bnt the race was all
between Will Yoekey and Floyd
Place, the latter winning by nose.
The presence Of 80 many yonng Ia
dies on the street hustrased our BASH
ful under sheriff, or the result might
have been different.
The next on the program was the
potato race. Glenn Thothan as usual
easily won this event aud Is now en-
titled to n championship medal. The
race for second prize in this event
was very close and amusing, Ed Friel
winning.
A team from the fire department
next gave an exhibition run Of l20
yards with the hose cart, attaching
the hose to the fire ping and throw
ing water in thirty nine seconds. 1t
was a splendid exhibition.
The last event on the program for
the street races was the tug of war
between the fat men and the fremen.
Several of the fat mems team failed
to appear but substitutes were OBJ
tanned. The sides were very evenly
matched but before either had won u
number OF spectators took hand in
the game and broke the heavy rope.
The city council had to make spe-
cial appropriation TO repair the spot
where John Williams struck the
street. John stood mp to watch the
ball game we noticed.
Everybody then adjourned to the
bali grounds in the south part of town
to witness the match game of ball
between the Lamar and Granada
clubs. The game lasted until nearly
dark and was quite slugging match
on both sides. The Lamar boys got
bad start in the first inning, owing
to the fact that they had all been too
friendly with the new catcher. The
visitors made six rms in that inning
but were only able to add eight more
in the eight innings that followed.
The Lamar boys all batted hard and
often, scoring from four to eleven runs
in each inning but the second when
some neat fielding by the visitors
gave them the first goose egg. The
final score stood 81 to II in favor of
Lamar The Granada boys expect
to try it again soon.
The ball in the evening was the
most largely attended one of the sea-
son, and was fitting termination of

ssLIAR" AND "BOODLER."
The Epithets That Chicago Officials
Hurled at Each Other in Public
Meeting.

Chicago, July 23.-Two county COM
missioners fell out today over the
awarding of coal contracts for the coun-
ty institutions, and called each other
liar and "boodler'' with vehemence.
President Healy accused the colored
commissioner, Wright, with being in
terested in certain bidders, and the ne
gro retaliated by asserting that Mr..
Healy had asked him to make fight
against Armour C Co on the meat con-
tracts.
Whats that?" demanded President
Healy, whose face was white with an
ger. Repeat that statement"
Commissioner Wright did SO defiant
ly.
well then" said Mr.. Hea1y in ring
ing tones, Il say the commissioner is
liar"
Il say you are liar Wright shout
ed. You sent for me and asked me to
abstain from opening up discussion of
the merits of p. D. Armour & Co. L
had prepared a speech for the occasion.
You asked me not to deliver it, Now
you are masquerading as reformer,
while you go around on the quiet and
do your fine work. That's the kind of
reformer you are. That's the kind of
a reformer, gentlemen, you have for
your president. And now he hides be-
hind the subj erfuge that 1 am a liar. 1t
is a mighty f1imsy Subterfuge.
The entire meeting was given over TO
wrangline of this nature.

THE RUSH Ar PORTLAND.
A Steamer Carrying 500 People to
Leave July 80.

Portland, July 23.-The announcement
that the steamship George w. Elder
would sail from this port July go direct
for Alaska has caused a rush to the Of
flee of the Pacific Coast Steamship
company, and already one-half of the
passenger accommodations have been
sold and a large amount of freight
space disposed of.
The Elder can carry 200 cabin passen-
gers and about 300 steerage, while her
freight carrying capacity is 1,400 tons.
OF these berths 100 cabins are allotted
to Portland for sale and one-half the
number of the Steerage. The balance
are reserved for sale in San Francisco.
Orders for miners supplies have been
coming into the city by the hundreds
and merchants in Seattle are unable to
meet the enormous demand.
A wholesale dry goods house of this
city has had force of rs men and 25
girls at work night and day for five
days on rush orders of clothing for in
tending prOSpectOrs.
A bag company is also hard at work
on an order for 800 canvas bags to be
made especially for the carrying of
clothing and provisions. They are also
securing a large number of tents. The
wooden mills at Salem, Ore, Oregon
City and Albany have all increased
their forces to meet the demand for
heavy wooden goods.

COULD BUT WON'T.
England Discusses the Question of
Barring Americans From Klon-
dyke.

London, July 23.-Sir Donald Alexan-
der Smith, the Canadian high commits
sioner in London, has been beseiged for
several days past by inquirers who de-
sire to go to the Yukon mining districts.
Most of the applicants for information
are young men without money who are
employed on farms and in factories.
WOuld-be emigrants of this class are
urged to remain at home, but hardy
men with a capital of a hundred pounds
or more are encouraged to leave for the
gold fields.
Several London capitalists are inter-
esting themselves in the mining terri
tory and are making Investigations
with a view of organizing mining COM
panies. Experts have been despatched
to inspect the region.
Sir Donald has issued a pamphlet
containing much information concern
ing the new gold fields. Regarding the
suggested exclusion of Americans from
the Yukon region, officials here say
there is nothing in the treaties between
England and the United States to pre-
vent such action on the part of the
British government, but as a matter of
policy it is unlikely the step will be
taken.
Various steamship companies report
that few persons have left England for
the new gold fields thus far. This pro-
baby is due to monetary consideration
