How the Votes Are Counted in Texas.

Il was just thinking. said William
Corning, recently, that it would be a
good idea if Alabama had an clection sys-
tenn like that of Texas. Out there We
know who has carried the separate boxes
within an hour after the polls are closed.
and | understand that here in Alabama
1t. sometimes takes all night to ascertain
the result. The way the Texas people
do 1t is by having two sets of clerks.
One set of clerks receive the votes for nm
hour. and then proceed to count while
the other set receive. BY the time one
crowd has finished counting the other
side is ready to begin. We always know
the vote within an hour after the polls
have closed. Of course this system is
a little more expensive but it is a great
help to the people who are anxious TO
know how the vote stands | understand
that several states have adopted the
same system. 1t certainly works well In

SECRETARY P. II. NC CARThY'S
 APPEAL TO THE PUBLIC


The year of 1904 will witness the ninth annual fair of the Newtown Agricultural Society. Last year a new feature was adopted, that of holding stake races of s1,00O each. Consider able doubt was expressed as to the suc- cess of the plan, but the result attained was most gratifying. This year the society has list of entries which can not be surpassed by any fair in New England. The list includes horses from as far as Canada, as far south as North Carolina and as far west as Ohio. Aside from the great show of horses the exhibition of cattle and the display of fruit, vegetables and fancy work is second to none. Let all the old exhibitors and as many new ones as can possibly do so, be prepared to make a good exhibit at the fair, this year.
 Newtown is admirably situated for holding fair. The grounds are only a five-minute walk from the station. The New York, New Haven & Hart- ford Railroad Go. will sell excursion tickets on it's main line as far as New York, and on it's Berkshire, Litchfeld and Highland branches. Special trains will be run and everything pertaining to the comfort of patrons and exhibit ors will be attended to. All the build ings have been newly painted and other improvements made which will make the grounds more attractive than ever. The fair will be held for three days, Septemb Der 27, 28 and 29. If 1t should prove stormy it will be continued the last days of the week. Telephone connection during the fair. [P. H. Mccarthy, Secretary.

Rev. Father Bowling denies the re-

of $1,000, the money alleged to have
been taken from the church funds Of
the Garryowen Catholic church. He
says he spent the money for the
church, but cannot give any record of
expenditures. The members say he
applied it to his own personal ex-

Garryowen owe him several hundred
dollars on his salary. This they brand
