Chicks Matched in an incubator and
reared in brooder are better in every
wsy than those hatched by the hens, be-
cause the owner has them under control
and can give them every advantage.
The incubator is always ready TO 60 to
work, and there is no waiting for tardy
eens. The chicks are Matched early in
the spring, and will be ready for market
or to begin laying before those under a
mothers care are half grown; and then
it is more satisfactory to have them Of
one size, for they will be all out of the
way at the same time.

Following are the estimates on oficiai
majorIhes In the counties of the Fourth
congressional district: For Freer, jack
son, 2S5. Roane, 10; Mason, 2O1; Putnam,
29O: Ritchie, 725; Wood. 443.
For Neal: Calhoun, 300; Cabell, 113;
Lincoln, 80; Peasants, 4S; Wayne, 40;
Writ, IS.
Harry Woodward, Republican candi-
date for the state senate, carries Roane
county by 160 majority. It is estimated
Freers majority will be over 1000. The
above figures give Freer 1884 and
Neal 1887.
Judge Freer is here. He came In yes
terday evening. ell has been confident
all along of his election, and he is re-
ceiving the Congratulations Of his
friends. To-day, by the way, the Judge
is celebrating not only his triumphant
election. but his fifty-third birthday as
well. He feels proud OF the support his
home county OF RItchie gave him.
The Fourth senatorial district, which
has been largely Democratic, narrowly
elects r. F. Kidd, Democrat. over n. B.
Morris, Republican.
The slump in PaEkeFSibuTg, due to the
criminal judgeship fight, In which ]. N.
Jackson secured his election by the use
of money and other means by his
friends, was the cause Of Morris's de-
feat. Here are the figures: Kidd-Gll-
mer, 1926; Calhoun, as; Writ, 50; Pleas
ants, 65; total, 5l5. Morris-Wo6d, 4SI.
KidHs estimated majority, 81.

country were made. The feeling ex-
pressed at the meeting, summed up,
showed o hearty endorSemert Of the ad-
nilnlstration, and that IN the main the
Republican losses IN some Of the cities
were attributable to the development OF
local feeling following the tdal wave
OF 1895 IN districts which then elected
Republicans on very large maJoritles.
There was great qualification al the
outlook for the se1ate's makeup, the
opinion. as expressed. being that there
would be q Republican majority OF
doubtless eight, and possibly more, in
ttat body.
As TO the house there was some ap-
prehenslon, though the belief was ex-
pressed, based on the advlces at hand,
that there might be Republican ma
jority OF perhaps not over three. The
Democratic gains IN the south created
no surprise as the race issues had pre-
pared the administration for the result.
1t was contended ct the meeting, how

asserted that the vote failed to show any
