THE MAYs-KEHoE CONTEST

A Tallahassee letter says:
ire Mays-KehOe congressional con-
iest is exciting much attention in the
third district, and developments reach
ed Friday afternoon show conclu-
sively that the primary laws have
been grossly violated in four counties,
and further Investigations may show
more irregularities.
The congressional committee. yes
terday heard several arguments from
counsel for both sides. and late in
the afternoon decided to throw out
several precincts in Leon, Calhoun
Madison and Jefferson counties, which
were protested against by Kehoe, and
which gives him a majority over
Mays. the latter having on the face
of the returns 80 majority in the dis
trict.
Mr.. Mays is protesting against the
returns from other counties which
went for Kehoe.
The investigation seems to show
that the primary law in various pre-
cincts is disregarded, the voting ex
ceeding the poll list and other irreg
ularities being alleged.

PLANT CITY THE VIcToRs

Another shut-Out was scored against
the local team Monday, when they
went up against a strong aggregation
from Plant City. or Whereabouts. Con
side-ing The rain was falling steadily
until play was started it was q re-
imarkable game, full CT fast stops and
sensational catches. Many base hits
were cut IF by the fast work OF the
ifielders. Those who failed to attend
missed a treat.
The fans find consolation Tor the de-
feat when the home boys put dp as
pretty q game as was played yester-
day, with the exception CT the unlucky
eighth ;nning. Harris pulled down
TWO hard lire drives. which would
have been good for hits. and fie.ded
his position well. He seems to have
developed considerable speed. and
does not rely solely upon his curved
ball.
IN the fifth inning Stripping and
Hopkins robbed Bennett and Raysor
Iof singles by long running catches to
the out field. Mathews pitched excel
lent ball allowing the locals only one
hit. a single by Bennett to center
field. Several times it looked as if
the Ccala boys had safe hits, but the
Plant City boys managed to get under
the bali. They gave Mathews fine
support, and it is support of this kind
that encourages the pitcher to work
all the harder.
For seven innings each team was
credited with as many goose-eggs. in
the seventh inning Mathews was safe
on a hunt in front of the plate. He
was sacrificed to second by Spark
man, and TO third by DOrmany With
two out. the best T. Robinson could
do was Hy to D. Dodge, retiring the
side.
The eighth, inning decided the game.
Hopkins famed Smith hit a hard
one 20 Bennett, MASKING his finger.
Robinson, J.. also hit to Bennett, who
threw to second to catch Smith, but
the throw was dropped. Strickland
hit 10 short, and the ball was booted.
Three on bases. and only one out. Les
ter nit to center field and Ford tried
hard to get under the ball but failed,
while Smith and Robinson, j., crossed
the plate. Mathews then hit a FarI
one through short and Strickland and
Lester came home. Sparkman hit &
fly to Dix Dodge, who took it in, and
doubled Mathews on second The
four runs made in this inning were
more than enough to win the game.

The three great forward steps in
woman's housework are:
The modern. range in place of the
old fireplace and kettle;
The sewing machine in place of
laborious hand-sewing;
Fels-Naptha soap, which makes it
easy to wash clothes in cool or lukewarm
water, without boiling or hard rubbing.
OF these three, Fels-Naptha saves the
woman more back-breaking labor, more
time, more money, and does more to
make life pleasanter than either of the
others.
At the very first, you can see how it
saves time and labor, but perhaps you'll
wonder how Fels-Naptha saves money.
In-two ways: First it saves the cost of
coal or gas to heat water and boil the
clothes.
Then the clothes last longer when
washed with Fels-Naptha in cool or luke
warm water.
Their fibre isn't weakened by boil
ing nor strained by hard rubbing.
You can't realize Just what a help
Fels-Naptha is until you've tried it in
your own washing.
Why not begin next washday2
Fels-Naptha easy way of washing in
place of the tiresome, tedious back-break-
ing method.
Use it according to directions on the
