CHAFlN, TOO, A PROPHET
Prohibition President In 1912 Sure
 Bryan Big Man in History.

Boston Oct 23.-After touring south eastern Massachusetts and Rhode ls- land. Eugene w Cham, prohibition candidate for the presidency, arrived here tonight In an Interview Mir. Chain said;
 Tt is the funniest campaign I've seen since 1876 1 am convinced that there are enough voters in doubtful mood at the present time to give a majority of the electoral college to either Bry- an or Taft There are enough doubtful men in Ohio Indiana and New York to swing the electoral vote of those states to either candidate,
 There is not the slightest doubt that the prohibition candidate for president will be elected in 1912 The issue of the liquor traffic has been kept down this year by two forceful characters, two of the biggest men we have ever had in American history, Roosevelt and Bryan, with the elimination of the one or the other, the Issue of proh- bltion will come to the front"

 One elderly juror made determined attempt to sit in the witness chalr but was finally put into the jury box to the amusement of the court
 Two good answers returned to ques- tions were, Law Is made for the pro- tectlon of society and I feel it the duty of iurles to sustain the law" and, 1T am heartily opposed to, capital punish ment as I don't think one man can take another mans life even for tho sake of justice
 Many were dismissed because they had formerly served in murder trials and many others for no apparent req son
 It was amusing to watch the alacrity With which some of the men left the jury box when dismissed and the crest fallen look on the faces of others. All seemed pleased with the termination of their questioning when they were talk on before the clerk to receive their compensation for coming

 This was the story of other passen- gers on the Texas and Pacific Cannon Ball' told when they reached this city to-day, but the principal actors in the tragedy most of whom are con nected with LoulsIana's leading faml- lies, have SD far refused to discuss the matter.
 The former suitor Is r. s. Beauvre, of Plaquemine, La, where he was ta- ken from the train and placed under arrest last night. The unfortunate husband was Prof. Fred Van fngen a prominent teacher of Alexandria, La, and a relative of former Governor Blanchard The bride is the daughter of James M Rhorer one of the lead- ing officials of lberville Parish. re- siding at Baton Rouge Baeuvre Is 2i years old and Van Ingen was 2S,

 When the bridal couple left for New orleans he boarded the train, and after a time sat in a seat where he was facing Mir. and Mrs. Van Ingen with the bride between him and her husband.

 to this law and he would not write on any names There was a long and heated argument over the matter, in which Attorney Slade and Judge Mathewson were called to give their opinions on the law Attorney sade held that the law required that a man put in his application to he made voter and fl he made affidavit to that effect it vas all that was required and the registrars could not deprive him of his right to be made Judge Mathew son however. declared that the law absolutely forbade the writing on of a name despite the fact that it might be a purely Typographical mistake and that there was no provision made for the correction of such an error.
 Town Chairman Doughan then asked if the deputy registrars could not be held responsible In court in case T man of the opposite political faith was omitted from the list and he was found with the application upon his person The judge said he believed he could ho If it was intentional or malicious The application in this case was on the person of republican Deputy Regis trar Well, who declared that the mat ter was purely typographical mIs- take and that he believed the man was entitled to vote and was willing to sIsn a statement to that effect. He further stated that he had placed the name on the list all right before the expiration of the time allotted and that the printer had left it off This altered the face of the situation somewhat and it was finally agreed to allow the man to be made, although General Reglstra, knollmeyer refused to write on the name the deputies taking the responsi- bilities Dunleavy was made.
 There were about twenty five persons during the session who could not get their names written on the list, all though t appeared that errors had prevented their names from appealing as eligible. To write none on was the policy adhered to this year.

ELECT HALF OF BOARD
EVERY TWO YEARS
A Suggestion As Made By
Grand Jury.

The election of county commits
sioners received attention from the
grand jury, among other important
topics touched upon, and the sugges-
ton made seems an excellent one.
AT present, all five members of the
board are elected at the same time
for a term of four years, and, of
course, the terms of all expire stimuli
taneously. This is not a wise provis-
ion, if all those elected are new men,
with no experience in the duties of
the office To obviate this difficulty
the grand juay recommends that
three members be elected at one time
and two at another, the election of
county commissioners to be held at
the same time members of the Legis-
lature are chosen. In this way half
the board would always hold over,
giving the new members the benefit
of their experience as commissioners.
AS five new men have recently been
elected for the full term of four years,
it is suggested that the term of two
of these be extended two years, the
decision to be made by lot, while
the succession of the three remairin.
ones to be selected four year A2.ce.

SUMTER MAY WORK ITS
SHARE OF CONVICTS
Grand Jury Has Made
Recommendation,

To the end of more rapidly i'm
proving the roads of Sumter county,
which are now worked with misde-
meanOr cOnVicts, the grand jury has
recommended to the county commits
siOners the employment of Sum-
ters pro rata of state, or felony,
cOnvicts as we'll, this innovation to
begin with the next appOrtionment of
convicts to the 143 Georgia counties.
Under this appOrtiOnment our county
will be entitled to about % able bod
led state cOnvicts, and this vast in
crease in working force would prove
wonderful factor in road building.
Heretofore Sumter instead of taking
her pro rata Of state convicts, has
accepted a cash equivalent, which
was added to the county school fund,
but the grand jury is of the opinion
that it would be better to accept and
work the % felony cOnvicts and in
crease the school fund from other
sources. Americus being the county
seat and centre Of business and popu-
lation, the grand jury also recon-
mended that the county roads in fu-
ture be worked from Americus as a
hub until all the highways are in
good condition. Both recommended
tions are most important ones and
will doubtless be given full considera-
ton by the county commissioners,
