Atlanta, Nov. 8.-The indications
from returns from all over the state
are that Georgia has given the Demo-
cratic ticket vote OF 10000 to 100000
or nearly 10000 more than four years
ago.
Georgia has elected full Demo-
cratic delegation to Congress and there
is no doubt OF a large Democratic ma
jority over all other tickets which will
make Unnecessary the calling Of an ex-
ira session OF the Legislature for the
purpose Of naming presidential cleo

Thomas E. Watson. the PopulIst
candidate for President, carried JEFF

reports from Thomson. became dis
gusted with the state returns early i'm
the evening and went home. There Is
no doubt from what he has frequently
said. that the general result was pleas
ing to him. Mr. Watson declined to
be interviewed upon the result.

they were registered, turned out and

A CHURCH OF BoULDERs.
New Baptist Edifice VIII Be Thing
of Beauty.

Some idea of the completed appear
ance of the new First Baptist church
which is being built at the corner of
Ninth and Jackson streets and which
will undoubtedly be ma gnihcent struc-
ture can now be gained. The walls have
been finished up to the water table and
show the boulder work Of which the
entire building is to consist very effec-
lively. The trustees of the church and
the building committee held a business
meeting Tuesday night to discuss plans
for pushing the work on the church and
it is now thought that the corner stone,
an immense boulder, Will be laid about
June p, and that the church will be
completed by Septem Der I.
Oak Park church, Chicago, and a
boulder church at Peoria. Illinois, nave
furnished ideas for the plan of the To-
peka church. OF the two methods of
using the boulders, putting them in
whole or cracking them and placing the
split surface outward, the latter is be
ing employed mere.
Although Topeka is very near the
line of the moraine which extends ir-
regularly across the state from Leaven-
worth to Salina marking the passage
of the glacier which during the glacial
period left the Kansas prairie scattered
with great granite bOulders, this build
ing material has been utilized very sell
dom here. The boulders from which
the First Baptist church is being con-
structed are all Kansas stones gathered
within from three to ten miles of To-
peka.

Director Gerow of the employment
bureau estimates that the harvest will
begin about June 20 but it may be later.
He has asked for special harvest hand
rates on the railroads effective from
June 20 to July 20. Concerning wages
he says;
The average rate of wages will be
| 50 per day for good hands with board
and lodging inexperienced men can
not earn more than $3.50 per day and
probably not that. Good stackers can
earn from $3.50 to So per day, and
teams from IS to $3.50, with feed for
man and team.
The rate will probably be granted
as in previous years from St Joseph
and Kansas City, Missouri, Atchison,
LeaVenwOrth Topeka Fort Scott, Cha
mute and Cherryvale Kansas. All
agents of this bureau are requested to
| list and forward to the nearest point
named in the schedule below, all the
men who may apply to them for work
as soon as the rate is opened. There
seems to be more Kansas men out of
work at this time than in previous
years, and they, of course, will be given
/ the preference.
LAS soon as the rate is announced
| by the railroads, it viii be published
for the information of all concerned.
| Geo. H. Foote, secretary of the Kan
sas City local passenger bureau. will
distribute the men to the different
/ roads, and A. B. Jamison, superintend-
ent of the Missouri free employment
/ bureau, in the new Nelson building,
| Kansas City, will act as the agent OF
/ the roads, and furnish all informa ton
and forward all men who arrive from
eastern points. The Kansas agents will
/ list and forward men according to in
formation furnished by the director OF
the Kansas free employment bureau.
"An men who desire to go to the
wheat fields are notified to apply to
the agent of the free employment
bureau in the town from which they
start as no other person is authorized
/ to enroll them. No charge whateve is
made for information furnished. Fur
/ Their, they can be assured obtaining
work at the place to which they will
be directed"

NEED FEWER men
Wheat Counties Requirements
Are Not So Great.
Nearly All of Them Ask for Less
Help.
DECREASE is $4,000.
Places Where Crop Is Better
Make Smaller Demands.
Rate Will Be Made as Usual on
Railroads.

According to harvest hand bulletin
issued by the state free employment
bureau, % counties in the wheat belt
will need 20,945 outside men for the
harvest, and about 900 teams.
Last year the first estimate of the
number of hands needed was 25,OOO-
Just before harvest this was increased
until 80 counties called Tor z9Vzo men.
The counties making this call ala not
include Norton, Decatur, RaWllns ana
some other counties which reallzeo
their need of help too late to make
call for it through the state bureau
Other counties wanted more than they
asked for, so that the actual number
needed was probably about $4,000.
AS has already been stated num-
Der of circumstances makes less urg-
ent demand than there was last year,
but it is probable that the figures CIV
en- out today are very conservative. For
instance, Cloud county which last year
asked for 300 men, this year says that
none are needed, while Mitchell county,
Immediately west of Cloud, increases
its demand from 500 last year to 100
this year, and Ottawa, adjoining Cloud
on the south asks for so more than last
year.
The wheat in the southern part of the
state is said to be far better than last
year, but Sumner decreases its request
from 1000 last year to 800 this year
and Harper, where it is said the pros
pect could not be better, asks for only
1900 this year in place of 1900 last year.
These counties, however, are expecting
a large number of men to follow the
harvest in from Oklahoma.
The crop in Kingman county is said
to be as good if not better than last
year, yet the demand for harvest hands
is decreased from 1,200 last year to 925
this year, while Pratt county increases
from LOO to 1900, and Stafford in
creases from 1900 to LOO.
The most notable decrease seems to
be in Rush county and it looks as
though some one is making a mistake.
Rush was last year one of the banner
wheat counties of the state, and while
the prospect is not nearly so good as a
year ago, there will be a considerab bic
amount of wheat, but the demand for
harvest hands is cut from $500 last
year to 145 this year. Ness county. west
of Rush, still asks for $50 men this year
as against 1000 last year.
Phillips county. in the northwest,
which wanted 1000 men a year ago,
this year is asking for none at all
Barton decreases its request from a.
400 to 2,400; Reno from 1900 to $40;
Pawnee from 1900 to 400 Ellis asks
for $500, an increase of 500 over last
year.
The detailed statement showing the
localities where men are needed and
the estimated number, and the number
asked by each county last year is as
follows:

IN ONE OF -FOUR CITIES.
Place for X. n. G. Encampment Must
Be Chosen Before July 1.

Since there will be no military en-
campment and training school held
by the government at Fort Riley this
year, an encampment of the Kansas
National Guards Will be held some
time in August. 1t will be at one of
four towns, Topeka. Salina, Lawrence
or Emporia. No town will be asked to
put up any financial consideration for
the encampment or furnish horses or
any equipment The only thing Ad-
jutant General Kelsey is asking for
is a free site for the camp and free
water The location must be decided
bv july 1. and as soon as the towns
mentioned tell what they can offer in
the way of a suitable site for the
camp, the state military board viii
decide which is the best offer and
most convenient for the entire brigade.
The grounds must not be too near
the city, says General Kelsey nor
too far away on account of loading
and unloading freight. There must
also be good sanitary conditions and a
good water supply, either from driven
wells or city water"
