CHICAGO HAVING
HOT CITY ELECTION
Citizens Voting on Municipal
Ownership and Higher
Saloon License.
HEAVY VOTE WILL BE P0lLED.
4 Lively Time in Kansas City Where
1000 Illegal Voters Are
Registered.

Chicago, April 3.--Spring Nike weather
existed today while the voting for mu-
nlcipal ownership was in progress. The
election has been one OF the most ex-
citing campaigns of minor nature
that Chicago has ever known. No can
didates are being voted for except al
dermen, but the questions involved In
their selection are held so important by
the voters that there is every indica-
ton of very heavy vote being cast.
The chief questions up for settlement
are whether or not the city OF Chicago
shall proceed 10 operate the street rail-
ways and whether $l5,000000 OF street
railway certificates shall be issued for
the purchase OF the street car COM
panies. The question OF high or low
license for saloons also evoked MUCH
feeling on both sides, and In number
OF the wards has overshadowod the
question of municipal ownership.
The city council recently passed an
ordinance placing the fee at $1,000 and
the liquor interests have made stronS
fight against every alderman who is up
for reelection who voted for the meas

Letter to J. W. +. Lowrey.

Dear Sir: Clothing is just like
paint. 1t fits or it don't; it wears or
it don't: turns weather and water or
not: and goes out of fashion.
What do we wear clothes for? Did
YOU ever think of it? Different persons
have different reasons, no doubt, but
one paints Devoe for beauty, to be in
the fashion, and keep-Out water,
Fashion says paint: we all paint.
There is beauty in paint; we paint
good deal for that. And buildings
are costly and fashionable: put on a
water proof two or three coats of
paint, and your buildings last as long
as YOU keep them dry. 1t costs moth
ing to paint; it costs your buildings
not to.
Devoe is the paint that lasts; disap-
mounting paints are the paints that
cost. Yours truly,

ing being united a shower OF beautiful
linen pieces fell over her. Lovely en-
broidered center pieces, dainty pieces

thing in linen was there. The number
and beauty of the pieces attested the
wide popularity of the bride-to-be be.
Every guest brought a favOrite recipe

RE nNNy
TON OF GUANO TO THE ACRE
WILL EXPERIMENT WITH THAT
AMOUNT ON COTTON LAND.
MANY Planters Will Use from 700 10
1000 Pounds an Acre on Their
Entire Farms. Use of Fer
iIizers Increasing.

IIIZPfs IHCECNoihS'
Guano continues to go out 10 the
farms in great quantities, and the
dealers are being taxed to supply the
demand. Thousands of tons are be-
ing put up in Dawson, and as many
thousand more are coming by rail.
The farmers of Terrell county are
undoubtedly the greatest guano users
in Georgia, if not in the south. For
ten or fifteen years they have been
heavy consumers of fertilizers, and
the amount they use has gradually in
creased every wear until now 400 or
500 mounds is considered a small
quantity to put on an acre: Last
wear hundreds of farmers used from
500 to 800 pounds to the acre, and this
wear MANY will use LOCO pounds.
Some will use even more than that.
The News heard a progressive ana
successful farmer say that he has
small field on which he will use Z,OOO
pounds to the acre as an experiment.
One farmer last year used 70 tons
of guano on 20 acres, and gathered ~
bales of cotton. This year he Will use
an increased amount of fertilizer on
the same quantity of land, and expects
a yield of bale and hall TO the
acre.
The intensive system of cultivation
is being adopted in Terrell county,
and the farmers find that it pays bet
ter than the old method of scanty Ter
tilization and scraping the top of the
earth. 1t has enriched the soil and
brought it up to high state OF fer
tility, and given to Terrell county the
record of producing more cotton to
the acre than any other county In
Georgia.

DAWSON IN DEEP DARKNESS
SERIOUS BREAKDOWN AT THE
ELECTRIC LIGHT PLANT.
Several Thousand Pounds of Machin-
cry Sent Off for Repairs, and 1t
Will Be Several Days Yet Be-
fore Lights Are Turned On.


GAS dark as Egypt" states the sit
uation as it has been in Dawson since
last Tuesday night, and as 1T will be
for some days yet to come-perhaps for
another week.
The cause of it is a serious accident
that occurred at the electric ligbKplant
Tuesday afternoon just as thes lights
we're turned on for the night.
The disc of the engine was cracked
and the piston rod bent, both vital
parts of the big machine, and opera
lions were necessarily brought to a
standstill The accident was caused
ny back pressure of water on the
cylinder.
Several thousand pounds of machin-
cry were sent to Macon last Thursday
for repairs, and City Electrician Ped
DIV says it will yet be several days be-
fore it gets back and the lights are
again turned on.
The dealers in lamps and kerosene
oil have had big increase in their
business, as every family in the city
has been compelled to return to this
method of lighting their homes.
Many of the merchants have not
opened their stores at night since the
lights went out and left them in the
predicament of a noted gentleman OF
Olden times.
