Entire Republican State Ticket Sue
cessfu|--The Democrats Make Slight
Gain in the General Assembly.

For the third time in succession Eli
sha Dyer was elected to the office of
governor yesterday, by a plurality of
1868, a little less than last years plu-
rality, but, in view of existing condi-
tions, il was a SPLENDID Endorsement
upon the part of the people of cour-
teous and faithful official who has
given the state a most thoroughly pa
triotic and business-like admnistra-
ton. 1t was a great victory for the Re-
publican party in every section of the
state, even the old island Of Manassas
giving Governor Dyer handsome plu-
rality. and every city and town in
Rhode Island. with the exception OF
Scituate and Burrllville did the same.
In Woonsocket, the home of the DEM
ocratic candidate, and of which city
Mr.. Greene was elected mayor last fall,
Governor Dyer received a plurality and
the city of Newport gave him plu-
rality Of $50 o er Mr.. Greene. 1t Is not
surprising that when the news was re-
ceived that Woonsocket had gone Re-
publican that the city of Newport re-
deemed Itself AM that providence mad
by large plurallties there was JOY In
The Republican camn and the men who
had devoted their energies TO bringing
about this grand result were heartily
congratulated
OF course the other candidates on the
Republican state ticket were reelected
by large pluraI... =. and the assembly
delegations from about all over the
state are Republican. The senator's and
representatives from Providence. Woon
socket. Central Falls are sOlidly Re
publican. while I'm Newport q Republi-
can senator and three Republican rep
resentatives were elected, two Demo-
Gratis being chosen for third and fifth
representatives, but Hon Samuel Il.
Honey failed of election. Pawtucket
made an almost complete turn over,
the only Republican elected on the as
sembly ticket being Hon. w. w. Blod-
gett.
The Democrats lost the single repre-
sentative the had In the Republican
town Of Lincoln. and gained n senator
and representative from Scituate, an
ola Democratic stronghold. The next
general assembly will be composed Of
n Republicans and Democratic sena-
tors and ~ Republicans and IL Demo
cratic and one Prohibition representa-
tives. making the grand committee
stand: Republicans, SIS: Democrats. 20;
Prohibition. /. This gives q small gain
10 tho Democrats.

From a Former Ardmoreite.

A. J. Foster of Blanco, Tex,
who was formerly a resident of
ArdmOre, being the junior member
of the firm of Flow & Foster, writes
the ARDMOREITE renewing his sub
scription. He says:
Being a property owner and
erstwhile citizen of your prosper
ous city, feel more than a pass
ing interest in the welfare of the
second biggest inland cotton town
in the world, and the metropolis of
the B. l.. T. x With best
wishes for your continued success
in making the ARDMoREITE the

A remarkable recovery is told
by the attending physician in the

old daughter, who has undergone
a severe attack of pneumonia and
meningitis. This family lives in

membered that a son of Mr.. Boze-

NEW ENTERPRISE.
Munger GInsery. with the Lowry Round
Bale System, to Be Put In.

II. j. j. Thiessen of Sherman,
Tex, representing the Planters
Compress company Of Dallas is in
the city. His mission here, which
has been fulfilled, was to pur-
chase a site and material and
award contracts for the construc-
tion of modern Munger ginnery
with the Lowry round bale press.
The site purchased is the lot for.
merly occupied by the old Atkins
or Bodine gin in northeast Ard
more. The brick contract was
awarded to Lee Cathey, who is al
ready engaged in making prepa-
rations to begin work. The site
is near the Santa Fe tracks, and
the roadmaster of that company
will be here perhaps tomorrow to
make arrangements for a siding
to the gin plant. The enterprise
entails an outlay of more than
$4,000.
The Lowry round bale press is
entirely different in its construc-
ton and operation from the
American round bale press. The
advantage of the round over the
square bale has been a conceded
fact for some time, but some fig
ures in connection with the Lowry
press may be interesting. 1t
congresses lint cotton to a density
of so pounds per cubic foot, which
is 81 pounds more than can be put
into a cubic foot Of space by the
compress of the square bale. The
Lowry bales are sc inches long
and Is inches in diameter and
weigh $50 pounds. A 34foot
freight car will contain 313 of
these bales, $3.50 pounds, but
this is more than $1,000 pounds
beyond the ears capacity. Think
of it! Comprising cotton to such
an extent as to overtax the ca
pacity of a railway cart This
car will contain but 60 compressed
square bales of 10000 pounds
weight, which is only one-half the
cars capacity. =
The capacity of the ginnery to
be established in Ardmore will be
bale every five minutes or 12O
bales in ten hours.

ENGLISH IN MANIA 4.

The English language is being success
fully taught in the schools in Manila,
and after pacification shall have been
effected it will be introduced into all
parts of our new possessions. with the
promise that it will become in a few
years the dominant tongue in he Phil
ippines. With the Filipino youth edu-
Gated in English will come a wider knowl-
edge of the worlds affairs. and the firing
of an ambition along the lines of mental
growth. 1t will be an augury of devel-
ooment to which humanitarians may
look forward with enthusiasm and nope.
The processes of civilization can be
maintained only through the dessimina-
ton of ideas. and ideas are propegated
to the best advantage by a knowledge of
the language in which they are current.
This is illustrated quite fully by refer
ence to the literary ideals of the world.
Shakespeare is little understood or APP
preciated in France. for the spirit OF his
lofty genius has never entered the lin
guistic current of that people. The same
may be said of Spain, for the wealth
of thought which Shakespeare gave to
man has not been woven into the ver-
nacular of CASTLE. But the English
tongue has absorbed all the literary
wealth OF the world. Though appreci-
ating Shakespeare, it loves Victor Hugo
none the less: it adr1ires all the heroes
Of it's own great creations, vet pays tri-
| butte to the author Of Don Quixote.
What is true Of the English tongue in
literature is likewise true in the arts and
sciences. Therefore, the introduction Of
the language in the schools Of the Philip
pine islands portends all the mental and
moral development which that people
may hope to attain. 1t will elevate them
to the highest levels which they can hope
