The BallOt--HoW to Vote It.

The Ballot to be voted next Tuesday
will be almost exactly like the official one
published on the fourth page of this paper.
The names of candidates will be arranged
in two columns, just as in the ballot printed
on the last page, but the squares will be
larger and the lines between the names of
candidates will be darker.
There are eighteen Democratic candi-
dates on the ticket, and cross mark Ky
must be made opposite the word Demo-
cratic wherever it occurs in both columns.
1t will not be necessary to read the
names on the ballots, because only the
names of the Democratic nominees have
the word Democratic after them.
If you should spoil ballot, or make
cross-mark wrong, do not try to rub out
the marks, but return it to the judges Of
election and get another ballot. If you
should spoil the second you are entitled to
a third, but no more.
Be careful not to allow the cross marks
to extend beyond the squares.
Do not be in hurry. Take plenty Of
time.
Voters must use the pencils found in
the voting booths To use any other may
result in the ballot being thrown out
Do not put the pencils in your mouth.
They will be dark enough without.
Should you break the point off a pencil,
sharpen it, or call the attention of judge
of the election to it.
BY observing these directions it will be
found very easy to mark ballot.
When receiving ballot, see that the
initials of the judge of election are on it.
Persons using spectacles should not neg
lect to take them to the election. Should
they do so, however, at every polling place
several kinds will be provided. Your own
glasses will suit you best, perhaps.

the best authors of the world. The books are

And Wants the Whole Power
of the Party Exerted to
That End.
Let The Other Candidates
Go, He Says.
The Work Of Corruption Is To Be
Carried On In Democratic Dis
triCtS Chiefly.
And MCCOmaS Is High Priest Of Pure
Elections.

Senator McComas wants the Senator and
members of the House of Delegates in Carroll
and wants them badly. In fact he is so anxious
to have the Republican nominees elected, he
is willing to spend from SO, 600 to $1,000 to
corrupt voters to that end, and to sacrifice
every other candidate on the ReDublican
ticket.
When the Republican ticket was nominated
the ADVOCATE charged that the Republican
managers would bend every effort to elect the
candidates for the Senate and House Of Dele.
gates, and that all the other candidates woald
he traded off and sacrificed i'll their interest
The Senate and House nominees are pledged
to McComas, and Sharrer. Baughman and
other Republicans are dependent upon Nc
Comas to hold their positions, and McComas
is looking to them 10 elect Ganter to the Sen
ate and Baer, Morelock, Reindolar and Rich
ardson to the House of Delegates. He is will
ling to furnish the money to corrupt voters.
and he expects those beholding to hrm to see
that the corruption is accomplished.
McCOMAs' PLANS.
On Monday of last week Senator McComas
went to Baltimore over the Western Maryland
Railroad. At Westminster prominent Re.
publican boarded the train, and he and Nc
Comas had a talk on Carroll. The Senator
said he must have the Senator and members
of the House of Delegates from Carroll to be
reelected to the United States Senate. He
said he was willing to put up from SO, 900 to
$1,000 to carry the Legislative candidates
through and would have the money ready by
next (last) Tuesday night.
The Senator said he wanted the energies
of the party directed to Democratic districts.
mentioning Freedom, Woolery's, Hampstead
and Manchester districts particularly. He
also said that Democratic officeholder and
ex Democratic officeholder were against Beas-
man, and mentioned the names Of both.
The Westminster Republican was advised not
to bother about the clerk of the circuit court,
sheriff, county commissioner and other OH
GERS; but to let them slide and bend every
energy toward electing GAMER to the Senate
and Baer, Morelock, Reindollar and Rich
ardson to the House of Delegates. He wants
their votes in the Legislature for United States
Senator, and does not care what becomes OF
the other Republican candidates.
The information of this conversation be-
tween McComas and a prominent Republican
of Westminster came to the ADVOCATE from a
reliable source, and McComas said substan-
TALLY what is above reported. McComas also
advised that the best way to win would be to
buy Democrats to stay at home.
Democrats who do not want the suspicion
of having been bought to stay at home should
be at the polls early next Tuesday.

"Fewer Gallons; Wears Long

you don't have to use so much

SHOOTING AFFRAY
 IN CORDOYA, ALA.
S. J. MAYFlELD AND WILSE HAND LEY EXCHANGE SHOTS, AND THE LATTER MAY DIE-MAY- FIELD SURRENDERS.

Jasper, August 31.-(Special.)-S. J. May field and Wilse Handley became involved in shooting affray at Cordova Saturday night which will probably result fatally for Handley. The parties met in the street and exchanged several shots, two of which took effect in Handleys forehead and right arm. 1t seems that the men met during the day and Handley, having pistol, abused Mayfeld, who at the time did not resent his treatment, but later, procuring a gun, they met and be- gan shooting. One of the balls entered Handley's forehead, passing close to the brain, and it is believed may prove fatal The other shot took effect in the arm, producing only flesh wound. Mayfield came to Jasper on the 1:50 train yester- day afternoon and surrendered himself to Deputy Sheriff J. o. Long.
 Some time ago Mayfield and Handley had a difficulty on the streets of Jasper, and it is believed the shooting was the continuation of this trouble. Eandley was in the whisky business at Cordova until recently. when he failed. Mayfleld, who once resided in Jasper, where he is well known and liked, is employed in the cotton department of the Indian Head Mills of Alabama.
