Gets a Knockout Blow at Salem
Election.
High License people Win BY over.
wheImlng Majority
montgomery Elected Mayor-6reat


The municipal election. at Salem
New Years day was somewhat one
sided and the law and order people are
sorely disappointed over the results,
as the high license ticket won easily,
in fact by an overwhelming majority.
The entire license ticket was elected.
The oflicers-elect are as follows:
For mayor, w. D. Montgomery; re-
corder, George E. Zinn; councilmen,
w. N. Way, T. B. Smith, T. j. Hick-
man, R, X. Jones and G. w. F. Ram
dolph; and B, T. Gordon, school com
missioner.
The defeated ticket was comprised
of S. Broadwater, for mayor; @. a
Schultz, for recorder; G. H. Trainer,
G. Il. Ross, Ray Randolph, Clete Ran
dolph, and Hiram Lynch, for council:
and t. E. Kemper, for school commits
sloner.
The temperance people are very
much incensed over the results, and,
TO some extent, are incriminating one
another. They say many of their own
people deserted them.
The town was wild election night
over the results and the whiskey peo
pie became quite hilarious. They had
all sorts of fireworks and kept up the
jollifcation almost the entire night.
The vote for the heads of the ticket
was: Montgomery, 22s, and Broad
water, ss, making majority of lsi
for the former.

Some days ago a local paper which
did not know any better used the
wrong Initials in writing up the trou-
bles of Rev. ]. A. Watson in magIs-
trate's court. 1t is said the person in
question was Rev. j. Fl. Watson. rhe

harm and he asks for this correction.

been proved by experiments in Chi

many physicians treat their typhoid

any experiments myself, but I am
sure that lemon juice in water will
kill germs If enough is used. Orange

fact, we have been feeding patients
that right along. There is nothing
new in this discovery of lemon JUICE.
1t takes more orange juice than lem

They Had Gone to Serve Forty Warrants and

Much Excitement Reigned.

There is always more or less excite
ment-at elections held in country
towns and for that matter in cities.
The past several years this condition
has existed at Salem and there have
been some very warm municipal cleo
tion days in that town, notwithstand-
ing the severity of the weather, but
New Years day was more exciting
than any of them.
The appearance of Constable D. L.
Mitchell and Special Constables H. w.
Mitchell and A. B. Rohrbough upon
the scene put many to guessing and
had more or less effect on the election
results. The Officers were armed with
forty warrants issued from time TO
time.against alleged violators of the
law in that town. The idea was that
every one would be out to vote and
heofficers would have an opportunity
to nab them. They had not been

lookup and incarcerated him. Then
they went upon the street again but
returned to the town prison at the
noon hour to behold one end of the
prison torn out and the prisoner no
logger there. TIC had effected his es-
cape and gone whittier the officers
knew not and failed to find outs
The officers turned TO the streets
and sauntered around. They were
told that there were parties who
wanted to vote but that they were
afraid to come on the street, lest the
onicers arrest them. Mitchell in his
meanderings went to Squire James
Bumgardner's ofiice and incidentally
droppedj in to pay the Justice a visit.
The Magistrate greeted him but kept
at his work of Issuing a warrant.
Mitchell finally told him his name and
his business. The Squire then in.
formed him that he was issuing war
rant against him. Before the conver-
sation ended the warrant was prepared
50 as to call for the arrest of not only
Constable Mitchell but the special
,constables as we'll. They were all ar.
rested at o'clock by Constable j. E.
Sutton and taken before the Squire.
They. wanted to waive examination
and give bond but the Justice pre-
ferred to try the case. However, it
was arranged that they go on their
own recognizance until O'Clock in
order to give the Magistrate time to
consider the case, but they were not
released, they say, until they had
promised not to make any arrests be-
fore 4 o'clock. 1t was soon noised
abroad that they had agreed not to
make arrests and there followed an
outpouring of people from the cellars
and ante-rooms. These fellows, said

they did not.
