BALLOTS WILL
Be RECOUNTED
POWER GIVEN COMMITTEE BY
ASSEMBLY IN LIEUTENANT
GOVERNOR CONTEST.
MAY CANVASS THE STATE
Evidence Of Errors Is to Be Basis
for Additional investigation
Work Begins Saturday at
ST. Louis.

Jefferson City, Mo.-The confer
ence committee chosen to devise a
plan of procedure to determine the re-
suit of the election on the lieutenant
governorshp submitted n report to the
joint assembly Tuesday afternoon
and 1t was unanimously adopted and
Its recommendation concurred in. 1t
contemplates a recount of the votes
in fifteen precincts, which are speci-
fled, besides all the precincts in st.
Louis City.
This work is to be begun Saturday
and to be completed as rapidly as
possible, with one party representa-
tive on behalf of each of the con.
testants to be permitted to witness
any recount or ~recanvass which may
be made. Books, papers, poll books,
tally sheets and witnesses are to be
brought before the committee when.
eve the committee deems it neces.
sary, it declaring its inability, without
such a procedure, even after an eX.
animation of all the amended and orr.
ginal returns which have been sub.
mitted to the speaker of the house, to
determine the result of the election
on that office.
Entire Canvass Possible.
The report is a comprehensive one
in that it gives the committee such
scope that it may, if it deems it adj
visable, go beyond the precincts speci.
fed in the report in making it's exam
nations, thus presenting the posi-.
bility Of the vote of the entire state
being recounted. But whatever be
the range taken, the canvass will bear
only upon the lieutenant governor
ship.
: st. Louis is to be the starting point,
the committee leaving for that place
Thursday or Friday, when a formal
demand will be made upon the board
of election commissioners for the pro-
duction before the committee of all
such matter bearing upon the election
rs it may desire to examine or in
Quire into.
:" The Joint assembly was not called
TO order until nearly an hour after
the time fixed, the committees still
being in conference, with a few minor
matters to adjust, and when 1t was
finally called there was still further
delay because the members of the
committee were not present. So soon
as they arrived Senator McDavid,
chairman of the committee, present
ed the report, which was read, and
upon his motion, seconded by Rrepre
sentative Rhodes, a Republican house
member of the committee, it was un
animously adopted and its recommen
dations concurred in by the entire as
sembly.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the Dis
eased portion OF the ear. There is only one way TO
cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness Is caused by an iniamed condition OF the
mucous lining Of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is innamed you have q rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when IL Is entirely closed, Deaf
ness Is the result, and unless the can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal condi-
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases
out OF ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing
but an infamed condition Of the mucous surfaces.

Crust Missionary's Wife Made
Two Perfect Cures by cuticura.

For several years my husband
was a missionary in the Southwest.
Every one in that high and dry at
mosphere has more or less trouble
with dandruff and my daughters scalp
became so encrusted with it that l
was alarmed for fear she would lose
all her hair. After trying various rem
edies, in desperation l bought a cake
Of Cuticura Soap and a box Of Cuti-
cura Ointment. They left the scalp
beautifully clean and free from
dandruff, and I am happy to say that
the Cuticura Remedies were a COM
plete success. l have also used sue
cessfully the Cuticura Remedies for
so-called 'milk-crust' on baby's head.

The modern child believes in fairies
probably no more than he does in San

Lumberton Meeting Falls Flat
Propositions to Put up Bonds.

A meeting was held in the
court house Tuesday evening to
consider further ex-Sherlff G. B.
McLeod's proposition for Lum-
berton to butt into the Bladen
bond election fight. That's half.
The meeting fell flat and ad-
journed. That's all.
Really, that is about the size
of it, and there is no space to
spare to devote to so unimpor-
tant a meeting, Some remarks
were submitted by a few men,
but the crowd was listless. 1t
seemed to be the sense of the
meeting that it is none of the
business of the people of Lum-
becton to me idle in the election
to be held in Bladen county. Mr.
Mcleod said he was going to
build a road to Dublin whether
the bonds were voted or not, and
that if the bonds were not voted
he would build to Elizabethtown;
that he proposed to start at Bel
lamy and use Cottingham's tran
road; that to do this it would only
be necessary to lay every other
crosstie and lay the rails he h rs
1 leased from the Seaboard just
outside;that he is going to Duo
lin within four months, ano

doing. The opinion obtains thai

to dawn. Besides the executive

dent H. G. Stubbs were present.
We cannot give il minute de-

ed on which the corn is to be
raised, and rules and regulations
