at guard. Weekes weighs 200 pounds ana

The practice was longer than usual.
Two full halves were played. In the
second half the entire trio OF the varsity

was In the first half. when the varsity

The practice lacked the usual fire and
dash which has been displayed during

the first time that the field coach has
not had at least two or three veterans

Hope had the game all It's own way, lb

The election today, in the or
d~erliness and quiet with which 1t
is being conducted, said q citizen
to the Selma Times, is in marked
contrast to the election twenty
years ago. Then, almost rs soon
as the polls opened, there would
be q long line Of whites and blacks,
the latter often predOminatiDg,
waiting to cast their ballots. At
the time to which l refer l was
living in a neighboring Southern
city. 1 recall an incident at one
OF the elections which demonstrate
es the strenuous methods which
were sometimes necessary to In
sure white supremacy. l had a
negro cOachman who invariably
voted. On this particular election
day he returned home in the af'
teTnOOn with a c~ountenance that
looked like it had been taking
some familiarities with a buzz

Such incidents are far in the

Mr. Wattels sons political exper-
fence reminds us of that of a Ten.
nessean who was a stalwart Demo.
crat in the time of Andrew Jack
son. When the latter was elected
president, the friends and neigh.
bors of the Tennessean referred to
told him that his services for the
Democratic party ought to be
recognized, aud they advised him
to leave Owl Hollow at once, go to
Washington and get Gen. jackson
to make him secretary of state.
he adopted their advice, and
when he was shown into the pres
ident's presence he said:
General, you know Ihave been
a hard party worker for many
years, and the Democrats Of Owl
Hollow have insisted on my be-
coming an applicant for secretary
Of state"
81 am sorry" said President
Jackson, "but that position was
allotted to another some time ago.
"Well, 1 wouldn't mind being
secretary Of the treasury" {
Geographical reasons make it
impossible for me to give that
cabinet position to a Tennessean."
The applicant went through the
cabinet list, but all were pledged.
Then he intimated that he was not
adverse TO being minister to Eng.
land or France, but those places
too had been pre.empted.
"Then, General, I will accept
the position of postmaster Of Owl
Hollow" said the applicant.
81 am very sorry" said the
president, s'but Brown has had a
petition before me for several
weeks, he has the Endorsement OF
leading Democrats for the place,
and I have virtually promised to
give it to him."
The Tennessean was terribly
disheartened over his i'll luck, but
he turned to the PRECEDENT and
said: ''Say, general, have you got
an old pair Of pants that you dOn't
WANT"
