All the way from Sacramento, while

had no right to it. Friendly interest

BETTER BUSINESS
CONDITIONS PREDICTED

New York, Feb. 2S.-Daniel Gug-
genheim, president of the American
Smelling and Refining Company, who
will sail Tuesday for three months
vacation abroad, expressed the opia-
ion today that there will be a steady
betterment of business conditions
throughout the year.
The metal business as whole, +"
said he, suffered in this depression
more severely than was to have been
expected for even such a sensitive
barometer of business conditions. Cop
per, in my judgment, has taken the
place formerly held by steel and iron
as an index of business conditions.
This metal felt the reaction last year
months in advance of steel and gen
eral mercantile enterprises. Indica-
tions now point to a turn upward in
the tide. Wall street is undoubtedly
blue, but it is my opinion that pres
ent conditions do not warrant so
much pessimism.'

parture for the Roswell High School.
commencement week this yea will
be full of interesting features. These
things produce a strong school atmos-
phere and indicate that the Roswell
schools are progressive.
In Mr. Cottingham's room out of
an enrolment of 40, there were 20
pupils who made 100 per cent in de-
portment-a most excellent record.
The record made by the pupils for
the last month, which closed last Fri
day, is the best of the entire school
term Most of the pupils showed a de-
cided improvement in their studies.
creditable record was made il
the matter of tardiness. The month
before there were 334 cases of tardi-
ness; this last month 164, a reduction
of 10 cases of tardiness-over fifty
one months record along this line
indicates that there is no excuse for
the existence of this bad habit. This
coming month we hope to reduce the
pl leSSht 1SSoi u dhohhSl hity pei S0iI.
The same month last year there were
373 cases of tardiness, a decrease in
this last month of over 200 cases.
The good attendance is very graft
flying to both the superintendent and
the teachers. This last month our en-
rollment decreased only 43 pupils
the same month last year there was
a decrease of 172 pupils in the enroll
ment This last month we have en-
rolled in our schools 141 more pupils
than there were enrolled in the
schools the same month last year
There were 204 visitors to the
schools the past month-an increase
of 1853.

LOSES OUT

Frankfort Feb. 2S.-Cn an in
formal count of the vote in joint ses'
sion of the legislature today, former
Governor Bradley, Republican, seems
to have been elected to the United
States senate, having received GA to
90 for Beckham, 1 for Blackburn. The
Democrats at once left the hall in
an attempt to break up the quorum
but later returned and the vote was
ordered verified.
Four Democrats joined with the
sixty Republicans who today voted
for Bradley, and they announced that
they would not change their vote on
a new roll call, which would seem
to indicate the certain election of
Bradley.
LATER:- Bradley was declared
elected on the recount, receiving
