Election Results. A..

The election last Tuesday in this
county resulted in the election of the
straight democratic ticket with the ex-
ception of Nj. Scanlon, who was de-
feated by William Grant by one or two
votes. The vote between Morrison and
Wilson was very close, Wilson getting
but about ten majority. Two years ago
Mark Smith carried the county by 293
majority over Oaks Murphy. A bard
fight was made to save Scanlon by the
push and workers we're brought in
from the outside to help Boss Mike to
pull through, but all their efforts we're
in vain. All the illegal registrations
and all the work of dozens of paid
hirelings failed to pull the man who
has been running the county hope.
lessly in debt majority Of the votes.
John s. Kolar, his running mate on
the democratic ticket, won by the high
est vote ever given candidate in This
county.
Wilson is elected to Congress over
Morrison by about $50 plurality. The
great vote of Graham county was the
only thing that saved the democratic
candidate from defeat. His own coun.
ty gave a majority of 366 against him
aud every northern county voted for
Morrison, with the exception of Mo
have. Eugene s. Ives was elected to
the Council from Yuma county. His
home town gave him l2S votes out of a
total of 129.
The democrats elected a majority of
the legislature in both branches. 1t ia
not thought that many of the measures
advocated by the party in the cam
paign just past will be brought up in
the Legislature and IL they are there

to kill them. Many of the democratic
counties have elected republicans to
the best offices. Especially is this so

NEW THEORY ON
Cause of Hay Fever.

Hay fever is not so much a result of
climatic conditions as it is a showing
of the weak spot in the general con-
dition of the body. If a hay fever suf-
ferer can be fed up to a prime condi-
ton of health by the use of well Sc
lected food the chances are the hay
fever will not present itself.
AS an illustration, a lady in Cave
Spring. Ga, explains how the change
of food affected her. This past sum-
mer found myself in a very low state
of health and much emaciated. l got
down to IS pounds and was worried,
especially as l had to look forward to
my annual tussle with hay fever in
September and felt it would push me
even further down.
"One day a friend told me she had
been using Grape Nuts Breakfast Food
and that she felt like new person
with greatly increased strength and
yigor. l grasped at the straw and be-
gan the use of Grape-Nuts. The effect
was really magical In week l felt
toned up and in a month began in
earnest to gain flesh and strength. By
September my weight had increased to
10 mounds and much to my amaze
ment I discovered that when the hay
fever sufferers began to complain had
not one symptom and escaped it alto
gether. Inasmuch as l had suffered for
wears from this miserable disease and
had made no change except in my food,
l naturally concluded that my improved
condition was caused by the daily use
of Grape-Nuts and by observing the
usual laws of health" Name can be

MILES is MAD,
Doesn't Want Any General
Staff for the Army.
Declares It Would Destroy Usefulness
of the Whole Service.
If 1t Becomes a Law, Says That He
Will Resign.

Washington, March 20-Gen. Nelson
A. Miles, today, told the Senate COM
mittee on military affairs that if the
bill introduced by Senator Hawley at
the instance of the war department for
the organization of a general staff for
the army should become a law, he
would decline to longer hold his COM
mission. The reason he gave for the
statement is that the bill is utterly
subversive of the interests of the mill
tary establishment and he said that he
would not be a party to such a pro-
ceeding to the extent even of continu-
ing to hold his place.
The statement was made in the
course of a prolonged hearing by the
committee which was conducted behind
closed doors and in which Gen. Miles
touched upon variety of subjects
connected with the army. The portion
of the bill to which he directed his
especial criticism is that contained in
Section z reading as follows:
THAT from and after the passage of
this act the senior general officer of the
army shall be assigned to command
such portion of the army as the Presi
dent may direct or be detailed to duty
in the general staff corps. All duties
prescribed by law for the commanding
general of the army shall be performed
by the chief of general staff or other
general officer designated by the secre-
tary of war: provided that so long as
the present lieutenant general Of the
army continues in the active list he
shall be the chief of the general staff.
and upon the separation from active
service of the said lieutenant general of
the army, said office. except as herein
provided. shall cease"

many reforms have been brought about
in their educational system Some idea of
their work can be obtained from their ex-

which they were awarded five gold and

Lies in Idea That He Should Be Used

All Amendments to River and Harbor
Bill Arc Killed.

Washington, March 20.-Throughout
today's session of the Senate the bill
providing for the protection of the
President of the United States was I'M
der discussion. Just before adjourn
ment an agreement was reached to
vote on the measure and pending
amendments at o'clock tomorrow. The
speakers, today, were Pettus. Hawley
and Nelson, in support of the bill, and
by Rawlins, McCumber, Mallory, Car
mack. Money and McLaurin in opposi-
ton to it. The speeches in the main
were a reinforcement of arguments
that have been advanced heretofore
for new points being raised. The prin-

the measure was that federal officials
ought to be treated in the courts pre-
cisely as are other citizens.
Three substitutes for the bill are
pending and will be pressed when the
voting begins, tomorrow.

DANIEL DEMONS WORK.
His Description Of New York Printed
in 1870

At the regular monthly meeting of the
District Of Columbia Library Association,
held last evening at the Columbian Univer-
sity, q paper was read by Mr.. Felix Neu-
mann of the order division, Library of Con-
gress, who chose for his subject David
Dentons Description Of New York, For
meriy Called New Netherlands: A Biblio-
graphical Treatise
'In the middle of November, 1900" Mr..
Neumann said, there was sold in London
part OF the library Of Lord Ashburton.
The highest bid, reaching f4OO was for a
tract of only twenty-one pages entitled
Daniel Denton's Brief Description of New
York, London, 1910. The pamphlet Is al
ways considered by connolsseurs, and with
good reason, as one OF the scarceSt Ameri-
cana, not only as 1t seems to be the first
printed account of New York in English,
but also on account of it's excessive rarity.
IT mas been twice reprinted, first in the
proceedings of the Historical Society of
pennsylvania, 1S45, and. secondly, in the
same year. as volume Of Gowan's 'Biblio-
theca Americana"
Mr.. Neumann has traced twenty-four
copies of this pamphlet in all, making due
allowance for those which are recorded as
having changed hands. But this number
may be still further reduced, supposing
that one or more of the copies sold at auc-
t1on found its way to the libraries which
the writer mentioned In speaking of the
CoIlHleFcldl history OF the paMpQiel, MI
Neumann stated that it's auction price va
ried from eighteen shillings in 1924, to 400
above mentioned. The only copy now in
possession of the Library of Congress was
obtained from Mr.. William Menzies in 1875,
at a cost OF $500.
Mr.. Joseph Sabin, in making note upon
this copy, states: THE title page being
printed on paper larger than the rest Of the
book, the date is often cut off by the
binder"
This was regarded by Mr.. Neumann as
the salient point which he discussed at
some length, arriving at the double conclu-
sion: First. that an edition of 1910 with
two different imprints does not exist, and
secondly, that an edition Of 1901, the ex-
istence of which has been maintained by
some photographers, was never published.
The latter part of Mr., Neumanns instruc-
tive and exhaustive study was devoted to
the condition Of the title page of Denton's
Description" showing that, In opposition
to Joseph Sabins view, 1t was not printed
on paper larger than the body Of the PAM
phlet. The narrative of Denton's life, pre-
senting much of interest to the student Of
American history, the writer reserved for
a later occasion.
The meeting was adjourned at 8 o'clock
forty-eight members being present.
