Memphis, Teun., November TO-
Excitement over yesterdays city cleo
tion is still nigh and the Malone and
Reform people are celebrating the sig
nal victory won.
The average majority by which the
Malone ticket won is l., 500. several
names on the ticket running over this
and several slightly under
City Juage a. Z. Floyd, formerly
of Columbia had quite a lead over
the remainder of the ticket, in the
early count, but the later count Ieduc-
ed his majority. However he still
lea0s by a small majority.
Senator Carmack friends are jubi-
lant and say it is a pronounced Car
mack victory. They attribute large
part of the success of the Coco Gov
eminent party to the influence of the
senior Senator and to the address he
made In Memphis just before the cleo
ton. Scores of cOngratulatoIy eele-
grams were sent him last night and
today, MIR. Malone the successful can
didate for Mayor, and MI. c. w.
Heiskel President of the Law and Or
der League being among those VINO ex
tened congratulations. Some of Mr..
Carmack s frienus claim that In the
senatorial primary he will carly Shell
by county by 10, 600 votes, and it IS
conceded on all sides that Shelby can
safely be counted in the CaTmack col
umn by a nice majority.
Today's News-Scimltar will say that
Harry Walsh, candidate for City At
torney on the Williams ticket made
personal attack on Bollver Bowen,
one of the election commissioners.
And that later Mr.. Walsh met Dr.. W.
E. Thompson. pastor of the First Meth
odisr church on the street. and grossly
insuIted him. DIR. Thompson had taken
a prominent stand in behalf of Malone
and law and order, and this is sup
posed TO have aroused the anger and
luminosity of Nj. Walsh.
DR., Thompsons friends are indig-
nant over the incident, which they char.
acierize as an outrage and the affair
has not served to quiet the hard feelings
aroused by The election.

Insurance That Didn't Insure.

about two months ago while working
at Wizards mill. is able to be OUT
again. Mr.. Rowe has been CARRYING q
policy i'm the United States Health
and Accident Insurance company OF
Saginaw. Mich. since December 1904,
and supposed that he would draw
from the company at the rate OF sSo
per month for the time of disability
after the first week. When he sent in
his papers with the certificates OF
medical attendance. etc. the company
recompensed him with the munihcent
amount of So. Mr., Rowe's UNDER
standing of the agent was such that
he expected to receive the $50 per
month. and an unbiased Interpretation
of the policy certainly points In that
direction. There ought TO be some way
of choking off the smooth-tongueo
agents or of compelling the companies
they represent 10 reimburse their VIC
fins

Time Regulation at Townshend.

There IL a tradition somewhat an
cient but quite generally accepted that
the correct time Ii obtained from
Greenwich observatory In England,
but the latest researches lead us 10
believe that the name Greenwich was
originally Greenwood, and that to
Townshend. North America. should
belong the glory of regulating the
time of day. The advantage OF being
thus at the center of things was DEM
onstrated recently at WIZARDS mill
when the o'clock whistle failed TO
blow on time. Those who were not
posted as to the new order OF the uhi-
verse worked away putting In their
over time" but for the man VINO
knew things" the day could not be
unduly elongated Townshend Is
doubtless 1t. and Wizards mill Is the
place where the finishing touches are
nut on. When you want the time of
day correct to the minute. refer to
Greenwood instead of Greenwich

| Judging from the childish exhibition
Of glee on the part of the Williams
VILE uill-pusher in last weeks edi-
! ton of a county paper, baseball
victories must be few and far be-
tween in his experience. At any rate,
the defeat of the Townshend team at
Newfane August rs seems to have dis
turbed the equilibrium of the Will
! Evansville press agent not little, The
mixture of fact and fancy in his lit
erary gyrations may. of course, be due
either to ignorance of the game or to
malice aforethought. We are in
clined to believe. however, after a
somewhat careful perusal of the arti-
Gle in question, that the author is not
Intentionally malicious. but simply
and blissfully unsophisticated. rms
unmitigated verdure may. of course,
handicap him as a reliable baseball
reporter, but it certainly has charm
peculiarly its own. and no one VIII
question but that large and generous
hunks of fame await him. provided he
can resurrect that antiuuated and ex-
ploded theory of sunshine and cucum-
Der vines. Internationally and with
out suspecting it, he almost discov-
cred the cause of Townshends hoodoo.
Hitherto our four-leaved clover has
been quite successful in bringing good
luck. and our wise men We're puzzled
at its failure in the Newfane game,
but the secret is out now and the
Williamsville expert who was able TO
produce enough cucumber-sunshlne 10
wilt the clover leaves. has himself
furnished the clue which helped solve
the problem Had it not been for his
naive suggestion. the Williamsville
contingent might have continued their
marvellous career so long as cucum-
hers grow and baseball is played. but
row our chief gardener has started in
to graft four-leaved clover onto the
sunshine Williamsville- cucumber vine
and some day if our friend Sherman
regains his nerve. and can ma
pitcher who is the real thing, his team
might get some good practice for those
hard games he has scheduled. by play
ing with the Townshend nine. so 1ar
as we are concerned. Ellis does very
well. and the 10 hits made off him in
the Newfane game afforded the boys
such a chance to fatten up their bat
ting averages as they have not had
many times this season. In fact they
have not made so many hits against
any other teams this season. with the
exception of Grafton. Bellows Fails
and Jamaica. and they have played ten
or a dozen games all told. 1t seems TO
us that five hits, eight errors IN the
first two innings netting nine runs
for Williamsville was rather a poor
beginning, but we are not disposed TO
whine about that 1t all came in the
game and we gathered up the frag-
ments as well as we could and at
tempted to play the game. To a cas-
ual observer however 1t would APP
pear that Townshend was almost as
much .'in the game" after the first two
innings as Wililamsville; but then, the
willamsville- ucumber-sunshine may
have been in our eyes so we did not
see straight. For the benefit of those
who are interested in the facts of the
case we give below the tabulated sum-
mary:
