THERE seems to be quite a
 clanor, and we think an un- reasonable one, for the consoli- dation of the State and Federal elections. As the elections now stand We know where we are but to change things and put them together We may be flying ito ills we know not of" The main reason given for consolida- tion is the saving of a few dol lars, but since these dollars go to the judges, clerks and election officers, and thus brings money into circulation among the peo- pie, 1t IS not so terrible after all.

 NELSON ARK. Jan. 18th I8eos MR. EDITOR Rough weather, bad roads and la grippe are the common topics of conversation.
 There is more complaint of Ia grippe in this country than has been for several years.
 The continued bad weather keeps the roads extremely bad, and farm CTS have had little opportunity to pick out cotton, where 1t Is in the fields; but, with the many draw backs of weather and other things, there has been more than usual moving and changing homes among the people of Allis and sur rounding country. Among the recent changes, pr. Guise sold his nice home, and it Is now occupied by Mir. Toe Lauhon, of Planters
 
 vile neighborhood, Mir. John Hogue, of Rose Hill, occupies the place of MT. Vim. Renick, Mir. Robert Wright has moved back to his farm, and Dr. J. G. McKin- ney IS living at Mir. Wright $ place.
 Rev. $. G. Patterson, the young and talented divine who supplied the Saline A. R. r. Church, with preaching, the last two summers, returned here last week, and was mar ried to Miss Lilly Davis, the eldest daughter of the late Greer Davis. MT. and Mrs. Patterson remained over until this week, and Mr Patterson preached to his for mer congregation. He now has charge of church at Steel Creek, \. C. He and his lovely Bride carry with them the best wishes of large circle of friends.
 Rev. Samuel Woods, of the Missionery Baptist church, preach ed to q large congregation last sab bath night, at the Allis school house.
 Mir. James Shaw, a young man from Idaville, Tenn, was visiting friends in this neighborhood, this week.
 Deputy sheriff Parish was through this neighborhood last Saturday, notifying jurors of their at the pext Circuit Court. l don't think he found all of his men.
 Oat-sowing time is on, but on account of the continued wet weather, no spring oats have been sown. The several crops of oats thrashed last summer will save the buying of many bushels of seed, to the farmers of this community.

SALES OF SILVER
Accounted fol- on the Theory That
Silversmiths Need Large Amounts.

NEW YORK, November 9.-There
were sales of silver certificates for
forty thousand OUNCES on the Stock
Exchange to-day at so days buyers OPP
tons at prices ranging from 60 to 6Ols
and a sale Of 5000 ounces at 60 regular.
The asking price for certificates has
been 591a for some time past. The
sales were made by Zimmerman q
Forshay and L. Zimmerman. OF that
firm said in explanation:
81 attribute this demand to the ac-
count of silversmiths, whose needs in
their trade are greater this fall than
for many years past. At the same time
there is an active demand from China
and India for minting purposes which
has caused an advance in the price.
Silversmiths do not look to be short of
silver at this seasn in these circum-
stances and are providing against the
contingency of future advance in the
price"

REPUBLICAN PLURALITY
Less In Belmont County Than il Was Ono

Less In Belmont County Than it Was Ono
Year Ago.
The Board of Election Supervisors
for Belmont county completed the tab
ulation of the vote yesterday at IL
o'clock. The plurality on the head of
the ticket is disappointing to Republi-
cans, it being z64 votes less than that
of last year. Nash's plurality in the
county is 1920 and as most of the bets
were made on 1,400 or 1900 the Demo-
Gratis have won the bulk of the money.
Probate Judge Smith is the highest
man on the Republican ticket and H.
w. Bigley, candidate for commissioner,
is the highest on the Democratic ticket.
Hon. L. Spence, for Congress, ran "a
ahead of Mclean in Belmont county.
The pluralities in the four Republican
cou&ties in the district aggregate 1853,
against which is Democrat plurality
in Monroe of 2.088, which leaves Gill
plurality of 3,471 in the district.
The Jones vote in the county is III,
which is larger than was generally
conceded him.
The total vote Tuesday was 1906,
against 1910 in '97 and 1898 in '9S.

ing interview with Senator Thomas C.
Plat to-day:
Senator Platt having spoken of the

about the result here and its conse-
quences.
What do you think of the Citizens
Union and Labor alliance?" was one Of
the first questions.
ooh" he answered, that's water that
has passed over the dam"
"And what about the damn"
That's in good condition for next
year." was the reply, and he contin-
ued:
Il am still dazed at the returns from
up the State. The country did splen-
6idly. A man from the country wrote
me this morning: God made the
country, man made the town
AS to the significance of the results
in general, Senator Platt said:
"The splendid Republican victories
all along the line in upper New York,
Ohio, Iowa, Pennsylvania, Kentucky,
South Dakota and elsewhere, are a
strong endorsement Of President Nc
Kinley's administration. They endorse
the war policy. They repudiate the
criticisms made by the so-called anti
imperialists. They indicate that Pres
ident Mckinley will be the choice Of
the people for second term"
