Prefer Solid OIL.

Engineers on some railroads will
rail with deligh. the news that the
oil cans are TO be done away with.
and that the lubricants used for oil
ing the parts of the engines will be
dealt out TO them in solid form. The
numerous oil cans that the engine
driver must carry with MIN each trip
are decided nuisance and caused
him no end OF trouble. but this is now
a thing of the past. as some man has
invented a lubricant that has solidity
can be carried in a box in he cab
and will not melt unless intense heat
is applied
This new oil is a preparation or
combination OF oil and soap and Is
made in sticks of about q inches in
thickness and weighing about a quar-
ter of a pound They O. in the rod
cups and will last for a trip of 200
miles or more. Not only IS this hard
oil more convenient for the engineer
to use. but there is less danger Of the
pins getting hot and burning GU.
The adoption of this oil saves the
engineer considerable worry over his
pins aud also lessens the labor OF oil
ing up at every step the train makes
along che route The only cans that
the engineer now must carry L. for
the supply Of kerosene for the side
lamps and other. white heretofore

HOW TO PROPERLY
MARK THE BALLOT
SEVEN TICKETS IN THE FIELD
HOW TO VOTE A MIXED TICK.
DISQUALIFICATION NEcEs-
sARY TO VOTE.

The majority of the voters have be-
come so familiar with the kangaroo
ballot that they need no instruction in
regard to marking it. Some, however,
who have moved in from other states
may not know how TO mark the ballot
so that il will be counted for the can
didates the voter wishes TO support
There are seven tickets on the of
fetal ballot, coming in the following
order, commencing on the left: Dem
ocrat. Republican. Prohibition, Social
list, Social Labor, Peoples and Cont
mental.
At the head of each ticket. and at
the left of the party name, is circle,
In front of the name of each candidate
is a square.
Assuming that the voter Is a Demo
crat and that he wants TO vote the
straight Democratic ticket, he will
simply make a cross txb in the circle
al the left of the word Democrat. al
the top OF the first column or ticket
on the ballot, and IL will be counted
for all the Democratic candidates.
This IS all that is necessary 10 do to
vote a straight ticket No other mark
is necessary.
Ii. however. a voter wishes to vote
mixed ticket, II can be done in two
ways. Suppose the voter is a Republi-
can, and he wishes to vote his party
ticket except for circuit clerk. and for
that office he wishes to vote for the
Democratic nominee The easiest way
for him to mark his ticket would be 10
make a cross in the circle al the head
Of the Republican ticket. and then
make another cross in. the square
which prccedes Mr.. Lee B. Davis
name on the Democratic ticket Such
ballot will be counted for all the
Republican candidates except the enc
Tor circuit clerk.
Another way of marking a split tick
ct is 10 make a cross in the square in
front OF the name OF each candidate
the voter wants 10 support. This,
however. is a complicated way on
such a large ballot, and is not recon-
mended.
The frs; thing . Democrat should

the left OF the word Democrat al the

The Ryman line, which only a few
days ago succeeded in raising the
Bob Dudley. which sank above here,
has had more bad luck. Saturday a
the Broad street wharf at Nashville
the Linehan. which was undergoing re-
pairs. filed with water and sank slow
Nv to the bottom The water is about
twenty feet deep at the place, and the
lower deck of the vessel is entirely
submerged.
The Linehan had remained al the
wharf during the past summer and
was being repaired 50 as to be ready
for use as soon as the water was high
enough. Several members OF the crew
were engaged in corking mp the sides
of the boat away from the bank, and
had tilted the boat toward the bank
for that purpose, when it was sudden
ly discovered that the water was pour
ing in through the dry seams sub
merged by the fitting.
Phil Petit, one of the workers, ran
at once into the hold TO see II some
thing could not be done. He found
himself, in darkness, and before he
realized it the water began to pour in
the side of the hold. 1t was only by a
narrow margin that he made his es-
cape.
There was a fire in the furnace al
the time and there was danger for 2
while that the boat would be destroy
ed by burning. but prompt work on
the part Of the crew prevented any
spread of the flames. A barge along
side of the Linehan kept the vessel
from turning completely over. The
only loss from the accident will be the
cost If raising the boat.
The Hnehan is tow boat l2s fee'
in length which was purchased by the
Ryman line about two years ago and
fitted with new machinery.
This is the fourth boat Of this line
to sink this month. the others beina

DOME Take Chauce,.

Don't try to vote scratched ticket
and take chances on losing your vote.
A man may put his mark in the cir
cle and then mark the names Of all
the candidates be ow it and be safe,
bat II he misses one, or is tempted to
stray over to the other ticket Tor a
candidate, his ballot is lost. His will
and intent may be ever SO plain by
these marks, but the judges of elec-
ton are not permitted to take that in
to consideration. He may use only
black lead pencil and he may make no
other than a. simple cross, or crosses
upon the ballot. One cross in the
circle votes the straight ticket below
it. and thirty-niue crosses, all outside
OF the circle, II he wants to "scratch"
even asingle candidate. Many men,
in their zeal to be right, make extra
hieroglyphics and are sure to be
wrong. Many partisans begin opera
tion by making a sort Of proprietary
mark" in the circle and further down
scratch over into the other ticket.
They know what they want to do and
the judges Of election, who count the
vote, know, but the vicious law is
above common sense and all such bal.
lots are lost. Some men, by force Of
habit, use indelible pencils and lose
their votes. Others prefer fountain
pens, but il they use them their votes
count for nothing. Habit or impulse,
no matter bow clear the intent of the
voter may be, has no place in the
election law.
The only safe way to vote is to put
a cross mark in the circle under the
eagle and quit.
