citing contest was for sheriff. Mes

conclusion Of the ballot and before
the result was announced, Mr.. A. W..
Mclean challenged the vote OF
Thompson township No. l on the
ground that it was not cast for sheriff
as the primary of that township last
Saturday as instructed. The report OF
the action of the primary showed that
Mr.. McNeill had been endorsed unan-
imously for sheriff. The township
! divided the vote between the two can
didates and it was for this reason that
the vote was challenged. The chair
ruled that the delegation should get
! together and decide By the required
, twO-thirds majority vote to abrogate
the instruction of the primary. Inc
delegation voted five and three on the
question. The chair gave them hVe
minutes more to discuss it and when
they failed to reach tie proper decls-
ion, the chair ruled that the vote Oh
the township should be cast for Nc
Neill. The chair then announced the
result of the ballot to be so 81 for
McNeill and As Al for Barker. MIR.
Cook, of Maxton, protested the rul-
ing of the chair and by a vote OF the
convention the chair was sustained
ond McNeill WAS declared the nominee
of tn convention. Mr.. G.. B. Mcleod
then arose and pledged MCNEIL the
support of Barker. .
Mr.. L, T. Cook of Matxon, placed
before the convention his toWnsman,
Col. E.. F. McRae. to represent the

McAllister named Col. n. A Mclean
for the senate and he was nominated
by the convention, the vote ana
IS S-525 for Mclean and 3S 517-52o Tor
McRae. On motion Of Mr.. COOK, the
nomination of Mr.. Mclean was made
unanimous.
Mr.. r. w. Townsend. OF BACK

Benny's SojOurn at the
Bottom Of the Bay.
BY WILLIAM WALLACE, JR.

by a strange little voice coming from the
water just beneath him. "Hi-I, there,
you boy" 1t said. "Come. open your
lazy eyes and look down here"
Slowly Benny opened one eye-aIlowing
the other to remain asleep-and peeped
through a crack between two boards into
the calm, clear water below. To his
surprise there was the prettiest big nsh
he had ever seen beekonlng with a I'm to
him. Becoming deeply interested Benny
forgot the dream his sleeping eye was
INDUCING In and quickly jerked that
member open to aid his vision. 'wel,
/ neverl'' he exclaimed, now fully awake.
"What funny sight to see fish making
signs like a boy and speaking In a human
voice. What sort of a fish are you, any
way?'
''Just you come down and see me; then
you'll hnd out for yourself" replied the
pretty fish that seemed quite as large as
Benny himself.
won't anything hurt mel" asked
Benny, preparing to drop from the pier
into the water In response to the rsh's
cordial invitation.
''Nos you shall meet with no HARM"
assured the f1sh.
''All right, I'm coming" called out
Benny. And In another minute he was
in the bottom Of the bay where the
water was over his head by several feet.
Gee whiEi How cool and-and-moist
1t is here he said, sitting down on a
bunch of seaweed.
Eyes, we never feel the heat down
here" said the tish. Sometimes won
der why people don't come to live In the
water-it's SO cool and Clean"
"Oh, they couldn't breathe here" ex-
planned Benny. ''And the water would
spoil their good Clothes"
The fish made no reply to this, but
sat looking at Benny with q peculiar ex.
preston In his eyes. Then whlrllng him
self nearer to Benny he lifted a I'm and
said: my young friend, want TO know
why you people wish to catch, kill and
devour Us. We never do any harm to
you"
Benny felt the warm blood rush to his
face. II had never thought of It," he
confessed. when i was only three years
old papa took me fishing with him ana
let me hold the pole. That was a very
long time ago. for ] am now 10 years
old, going on H." And Benny felt he
must have made a great impression by
stating such a ripe age. You see," he
went on, Il never was taught to think
anything about you fishes or whether or
not you cared IL you were caught"
'Well,we don't relish being swallowed. !"
the fish remarked, dryly, You can put
yourself In our place and then you NAV
understand something more about It. But
Il don't want to talk about so unpleas.
ant subject any more during your call.
You are my invited guest and 1t behooyes
me to make you have a pleasant time
Now, I'm going to call some Of my
friends to meet you and help me to en-
terrain you"
Following this statement the fish swan
a little way down the bay, tapped his
tall and clapped his Ans together, like a
person clapping the hands. The noise of
switching tail and clapping fms called a
great crowd of fish, crabs and holsters to-
gether. They came In groups swimming
through the water merrily. chatting and
laughing together In their own fish, crab
