 Carrollton, May s.-tspecial Jun official returns from nearly every beat in the county indicate that Bryan has won over Johnson by at least TOO ma jority.
 The four laeding beats give:
 Carrollton, Bryan. 70: Johnson, s2. Aliceville, Bryan. 62; Johnson 12. Reform, Bryan. ss;' Johnson 16 Gordo, Bryan. S6; Johnson, 4s. Carrollton seems to be the only beat carried by Johnson, and that by ma tority of 22, the other beats will all doubtless show large Bryan majorities. Mayfield and Simpson are favorttes for Associate Justice. Mayfield leading over the others by an overwhelming vote. Pugh and ONeal had a walk over for Electors. Cunningham, Clay ton, Tomlinson, and possibly Kyle were selected by large majorities for Del egates at large. Wallace wins over Mastin for State Game Warden.

Scale, May 1s.-(SpeciaL L)-The elec- tion of county officers has so over shadowed the State election in Russell county that it is impossible to get any returns of the State ticket.
 Indications are that Bryan has car ried the county by a large majority.
 From the three beats heard from Scale, Girard and Crawford-Clayton Cunningham and Heflin have large majority, while Tomlinson has small majority over the next highest man.
 o'Neal and Pugh carried the county.
 For Supreme Court judges Girard gives large majorities for Mayfeld and Alston. Lusk carried Scale by 43 votes over Bilbro.
 Wallace received 1s1 votes. Mastin 145.

 The race for associate justices of the Supreme Court looks as if 1t wcs a pretty even, race between Alston, Chil- ton Mayneld and Simpson. Chiffon did not receive as many votes as the other three candidates from the coun- try beats, but he carried both boxes in the Troy beat by a good majority. Lusk received only fifteen votes in this beat.
 Mastin beat Wallace in the Troy beat by nearly fifty votes but it is thought that Wallace will carry the county.
 From the returns received 1t is thought that Wiley will receive more than seven hundred majority over Hall for Representative from the Sec ond Congressional District of Alabama

Tuscaloosa, May 19.-(Special.)-All but four beats in this county have been heard from, but owing to the great interest manifested in the coun- ty election it has been impossible thus far to secure anything like an official account of the State primary. It Is safe to say that Bryan has carried the county by an overwhelming majority, the rural districts voting almost solid for him. In the city. however. Bryan's majority was only 100.
 For justice of the Supreme Court Judge Mayfield boiled an immense ma jority, with Simpson second and AIston third.

DUE TO a MOTHERS GRIEF.
How the Blanche FAIRY eweet Pea
Was Brought to Perfection.

y . :.
There Is an interesting story told
by Paul Kirk In a recent issue of the
Housekeeper, concerning the aeciden-
tai discovery Of the Blanche Ferry
sweet pea. The story is this;
The daughter of farmer in Jeffer-
son county, N, Y, married quarry
man who neglected her, forcing her
10 live a starved and miserable exis-
tence IN a small home over some lime
stone lodges. @ ab .-a
After a while the woman became .
mother, and then death came and
claimed the child. The mother took
the body back to her own childhood
home--one of the most beautiful in
New York-for burial M III
When the funeral was over, the
mother, stricken with grief, gathered
from the old farm place a few seeds
Of the old Painted Lady sweet pes.
These seeds she carried away with
her to the poor little home by the
stone quarry. There she planted
them.
They lowered, and the mother
saved some Of the seed for another
seasons planting From year to year.
In this manner, the flowers. were per
petuated and the memory Of the child
was kept beautiful. After 10 or 20
years the flowers had undergone 9
chapge-had taken on new beauty,
ss fine as the sorrowing mothers de-
votion. They no longer resembled the
old Painted Lady blossoms The thin
poor soil, with its large element Of
lime, had dwarfed the vine but in
compensation had given more abun-
dant flowers. larger and brighter col
ored. .....f..s.. s, y. .......l Il. .t
MI. Tracy. Of the government de-
partment OF agriculture, while looking
after some seed crops IN the vicinity,
saw and admired the flowers, learned
their history, secured some Of the
seed and later sent them out to the
world as the Blanche Ferry sweet
pea, &
out Of the sorrow and hardship Of
the lonely mother by the quarryside
had come about the development Of q
flower Of exquisite beauty, which has
since brought pleasure to millions and
added beauty to countless homes.
