 Mayoraty Gossip.
 Although the primary to nominate a mayor and aldermen will probably not be called for four or five months there IS considerable talk as to the candidates for mayor and members of the council.
 Mayor Scott, who is serving his third term, Is being urged to enter the race for sheriff of Jefferson county, and it IS thought that he will not stand for re- election to the office of mayor. Mayor Scott, however, has never announced his candidacy for sheriff, and 1t Is not known what his intentions are. He states that if he should offer for the position he would have to be reckoned with by other aspirants.
 To succeed the present mayor several prominent citizens have been prominently mentioned. Among these are Aldermen J. F. Hollingsworth and w. W. Me- Tyiere, Chief of Police Camp and Farris Suggs.
 So far none have announced but it is thought that by the time the election IS called there will be several candidates in the field.

he betrayed no unusual excite
ment but in few days there
after his mind appeared to be
affected and he became possessed
of the idea that he had been en-
dowed with power to raise the
dead and that he saw his SON III
heaven. His wife |'and friends
thinking a change of residence
would benefit him sent him to
BarnsleY to visit at the home OF
his daughter, Mrs. Geo. Hill.
While there he became worse
and would go out on the street
and try and prevail on the peo-
pie he met to sing and pray with
him, If they refused he became
exceedingly angry and they be-
came objects of his wrath. He
finally became violent and un-
manageable nd on Saturday
Theodore Gates and Geo. Hill,
his sons-in-law, took him to Mad

mental condition before til e
court. He was declared of un-

urday evening. Mr.. Coomes
was about 81 years old and was
born in Davies county but has

Gently milking the COW. The
milking progressed satisfactorily
until a low rumbling sound was
heard just over the hill and on
looking around tn startled
couple saw a large full grown
bull paving up the earth, shak-
ing his head and giving various
other signs of dissatisfaction.
Then his bullship gave a loud
below that sounded like distant
thunder and made for them in a
sweeping ,trot. Although only
half through milking the man
and the little girl made a break
for the fence and escaped as they
thought with their lives. Since

ever, it has been discovered the
animal is perfectly harmless and
