Board of Canvassers.

The great Tuten-Jackson sena-
torial contest is over, and Jackson
and his friends have won out.

permitted Justice J. G. jackson to
become a party defendant to the
suit against the election commits
sioners of Hardin County.
At Huntingdon last Friday Mr..
jackson, through his attorney, the
Hon. A. J. Coats of Bolivar, made

straining the election commission
ers from counting the votes of four

to ]. @. jackson.
The election commissioners OF
Hardin County, it will be remem-
bered, first sent in returns giving

representative" An attempt was
made to correct this by telegram
and later new set of returns was
sent in from Hardin County, with
several civil districts left out.
The returns from these districts
had been brought to the commits
sioners after noon on the day the
com missions were required tomeet

elected Tuten, while the full vote

The State board of canvasser
decided that it's duties were no
purely ministerial, but that it hac
quasi Judicial powers in deciding
which was the correct returns, ant
that its duties became ministerial
only when this decision was reach
ed. They therefore took the tall
sheets and compiled the vote fror
these, and the vote Of Hardi,

Jackson, having a majority of
164, was given the certificate. 1t
has been a warm fight throughout,
as the contest has been regarded
as fight between the saloon and
the anti-saloon elements, it being
generally understood that Jackson
is for the Peeler bill and that Tu-
ten is against it.
The only chance for Tuten now
is to carry the matter before the
general assembly at its meeting in
January.

4 TRIP TO WASHINGTON.
The Journey for Pleasure from Camden
60 tho Nations Capitol.
uY DR. itH. TRAVIS.

terested in my pilgrimage to the
home of Washington, Mount Yer
non, in Virginia. Mount Vernon
is 16 miles from Washington City,
and is situated on a high plateau
on the Virginia side of the Poto-
mac River.
We went by boat, leaving Wash
ington at food tide. 1t will be re-
membered that the Potomac River
at Washington and for some dis
lance above is affected by the ocean
tides. There was a large, good
humored crowd aboard going to see
the home of the "Father of Our
Country"
The former name of the place
was Hunting Greek Estate, but
was changed to Mount Vernon in
honor of Admiral Vernon of naval
fame. The place was the home
stead of the Washingtons, and
George Washington became own
or by inheritance.
The associations Of Washington
with the place during his lifetime
and the presence Of his tomb there
made Mount Vernon a shrine of
patriotism. When, John Angus
tine Washington owned The place
in 1856 and was unable to main
tain it, he offered it for sale, and.
to the honor of a Southern lady,
Miss Ann Pamela Cunningham of
South Carolina, it was saved to the
Government and to the American
people as a sacred remembrance
of the illustrious General George
Washington, the patriot and faith
er Of his country.
The Mansion House Of Mount
Vernon occupies, a beautiful site
overlooking the river. The build
ing is of wood, cut and painted to
represent stone. It was built in
1743 by Lawrence Washington, a
half brother to George Washing
ton. The building is 96x30 feet,
two-stories, with attic and dormer-
windows. In front is a veranda
Is feet deep and extending length
Of building, supported by square
columns Is feet high.
"No gilded dome swalls from the
lowly roof to catch the morning OF
evening beam, but the love and
gratitude of United America set.
ties upon it in one eternal sunshine
From beneath that humble ROOF
went forth the intrepid, unselfsl
warrior, the magistrate who knew
no glory but his country's good
To that he returned, happiest wher
his work was done. There he LIVED
in noble simplicity, there he dice
in glory and peace. While i
stands the latest generations o
the grateful children of Americ,
will make this pilgrimage to it al
a shrine. And when, it shall fall
if fall it must, the memory ant
name Of Washington shall shed al
eternal glory on it"

Hon. q. f. TOlly, Mayor:
Sir: 1t being doubtful if can legal
~ hold at one and at the same time
the position of School Trustee and the
Office Of Mayor under the Constitution
of the State, and it being somewhat
questionable in my mind as to the
compatibility of these two positions
under the common law restrictions,
prefer TO have our schools on the safe
side, and hereby tender my resignation
rs school trustee, to take effect at once.
take this action now in order to avoid
any possible embarrassment that might
otherwise arise in the event of my
election to the office of Mayor, and to
enable the Council to hold an elertion
for my successor with the least posi- BILE
Inconvenience to the public.
With pardOnable pride recall the
fact that was the first man to take a
decided step toward the establishment
Of our present public school system,
and ! regard my efforts during the past
eight years in the interest of these
schools as the most satisfactory work
Of my life.
Respectfully submitted,

Oyster Bay, July Ex-senator Nc
Laurin has declined the position of

Claims offered to him by President
Roosevelt when the Senator visited the
President here week ago last Satur-

Senator Tillman, who recently as
saulted Senator McIaulin on the floor

he would fight any effort to give Nc
Laurin the office.
The position is worth $4,000 and the
appointment is for life. 1t is said here

The first step toward Democratic
victory for the national ticket in 1904
is Democratic harmony in 1902. From
now onward, "Get Together and Act
Together" in support of the vital
principles of Democratic government
and administration, should be the
watchword Of every Democrat, wheth-
er he be in the ranks or in the loft
lest position of leadership. Selfish
malcontents are now of no use to the
great historic party of Jefferson, Jack
sou and Tiiden. They ipjure the
cause they profess to serve. Divid-
ing the masses into factional and hos
tile camps, they are giving the most
effective aid possible to the hereditary
enemy of the Democratic party. In
pursuing this course we shall not con
denim them as insincere, but most as
suredly they lack wisdom if not polit
ical sanity.

Whitfield, departed this life at his
home at Autun on Thursday, July II.
1902, in the a5th year of his age. He
had been an invalid for more than
year, and his death was not unexpect-

Mr.. Whitfield was a most worthy
young man an;! devoted Christian,
having been converted to Christ, under
the preaching OF Rev. j. F. Singleton,
about five years ago. He Joined the
TOwnville Baptist Church and was q
most exemplary member. He bore his
illness with patience, and often cx-
signed to the will Of God, who doeth
all things well. The deceased leaves q
mother, two brothers and four sisters
to cherish his memory, and in their
sore bereavement they have the SYM
pathy of wide circle of friends. On
the day following his death the re-
mains were carried to TOwnville and
inferred ID the Baptist Churchyard,

A constitutional question has de-
veloped in our city politics which may
have some influence in the approach
ing primary. The question is, can a
member Of the Board CT Trustees of
the city schools hold Oat the same time
the Office Of Mayor or Aldermen? The
constitution says, no person shall
hold two Offices of honor or profit at
the same timc,' an exception being
made in the office Of Notary Public
and Office in the militia. Two Offices
OF the nature of those above mention
ed have been and are now held in this
city by one person, but the question
was never before raised. There can
be no doubt as to the right of citizen
TO be candidate for office while hold
ing an office, but it would seem that
election to and acceptance Of the new
office would by operation of law ter
inmate all rights to the old office. If
this be good law (and there is little
doubt OF iD, grave legal questions
could arise from matters passed upon
by those holding two Offices at the
same time.

1t will surprise many to learn Of the
immense amount Of coffee consumed
annually by the people Of this coun.
try. According to recent official re-
ports the amount imported by this
country the past fiscal year was $780,
100000 pounds. The total amount
produced last year was 1900, 900, 900
pounds and this country is easily irst
in the consumption of the delightful
beverage. While there is some op-
position to coffee drinking, it seems
to have little effect on its consump-
ton, as the figures show continual
increase. Reputable physicians have
never taken any decided stand against
the use of coffee In some cases. its
usei advised and in others prohibited.
The greatest opposition comes from
patent medicine venders, add others
who have substitutes to sell In
