UPPER MARLBORO. October 20. 1909.
There never was a political campaign
in Prince George county the result or
which has been more difficult TO pre-
dict than the one nov waging. Many alb
normal and complicated situations feature
the contest.
The Wilson law prescribes that no party
designation shall he placed after the
names OF the candidates. At the last
session Of the Legislature the law was
amended. SO that the supervisors Of cleo
ton are now prohibited from distributing
or posting, as has been the case in for
mer years. any sample ballots
This makes il difficult for the repub-
hcan leaders to teach their illiterates
They do not know just how the ma jority
members of the supervisors, who arc
democrats, Will arrange the ticket or the
names thereon.
TWO years ago. when sample ballot :
were distributed. many intelligent negroes
were taught how to vote the ticket The
result showed that, while many ballots
were rejected, they were not all cast by
colored men. but that the votes of a
great many white men were thrown
aside.
This year. with no samples available.
Is the general impression that the
n ,r OF rejected ballots Will be greater
than was the case two years ago
what enect the absence of sample hal
lots VIII have upon the election is hard
10 say. III Is certain that many illit-
crates. both white and black. will NOT
ne aoie 10 vote correctly.

Governor May Pardon
Famous KentuCkialS

Lexington, KY, Feb. PA report in
circulation among friends Of Caleb
Powers was to the effect that Gov
ernor Wilson would shortly issue par
dons to w. S. Taylor, Charles Finley,
John Powers, Harlan Whitaker and
Capt. John Davis, the men still under
indictment on the charge Of alleged
conspiracy to kill William Goebel It
is said that Governor Wilson has ex-
pressed himself as being of the same
opinion, and that the pardons will be
granted
Robert B. Frankljs, commonwealth
attorney, who prosecuted Powers and
Jim Howard, has refused the invita-
tion of Governor Wilson TO oppose the
applications now on file. holding that
1t would be Just as much of farce
to oppose these as it was to oppose
these as It was to oppose those Of Pow.
ers and Howard.

Granite Gets
Branch Pen.

Guthrie. Okla, Feb. 24.--The sue
cessful passage OF the Granite second
airy penitcntiary bill BY the house yes
terday was dramatic and unexpected.
The vote on It stood So to "a, and the
emergency was lost by vote OF Al TO
40. A remarkable change Of sentiment
was indicated by the fact that ALL the
house leaders who have heretofore op-
posed the public buildings bills voted
for the measure. while Messrs. Durant,
McCalla and other leaders Of the fight
to locate institutions voted against IT,
McCalla made a motion to table the
bill which was defeated by a vote Of
80 to 55. Eighteen Republicans voted
against It, with eleven for It, For the
other bills the Republicans have voted
almost unanimously. and this arraying
Of minority forces against the bill is
regarded as significant The bill car
ries an appropriation OF s5O,OOO with
a limit set Of $500 for leo-acre site
within one mile Of Granite.
The bill locating the school for the
deaf at Sulphur carried no appropria-
ton for buildings. Sulphur has agreed
TO furnish quarters free. 1t passed by
vote of 76 to 10. The emergency
carried.
After brief but lively discussion in
which there was much talk Of letting
the people rule and the counties do as
they desire the house passed finally
the bill by Senator Russell repeating
the law by which counties were in
territorial days permitted to vote for
the establishment of county high
schools. The Russell bill does not in
terfere with those schools already es

Eating for Strength.

The greatest pleasure to be de.
rived from eating is the pleasure one
gets in the knowledge that his food is
giving him greater strength and vi
tally.
Because of this fact there is a con-
slant increase in the consumption Of
Quaker Oats; every time the strength
making qualities of Quaker Oats have
been tested by scientific investigation
or by experiments in families it has
been found to be a food without an
equal.
1t builds the muscles and brain with
out taxing the digestive organs; it
costs so little anyone can afford it,
and it is SO carefully prepared and
packed that it is absolutely pure and
clean. A Quaker Oats eating family
is always a healthy family. II
Quaker Oats is packed in regular
size packages and also in large size
family packages. The latter very con-
venient for those not near the store.

Simplicity in Dress.

A great French authority on dress
asserted once that no ornament in the
way of a bow or even a button should
be allowed to appear on a dress with
out some definite object. He argued,
with a great show of reason, that the
bow should tie two pieces of ribbon to-
gether, and that the button should &C
tually pass through a buttonhole. It
would be as we'll sometimes if these
principles could be carried into prac-
tice, if only to prevent such foolish
forms of trimming as those long rows
of many buttons which played a con-
spicuous part on many of the summer
gowns, in some cases giving them ex-
actly the appearance of a Diapers
show card, upon which samples of but.
tons are displayed.

Potato Ericassee.

If you are tired of the old ways of
cooking the inevitable potato, which
in most families forms part of the
daily menu, despite doctors and dread
of flesh, why not try a fricassee? It is
a favorite method of cooking them in
a certain Italian family, and is deli.
cious.
Cut new potatoes, which have been
peeled. into small squares or flute
them with a f1uting knife. Put a ta-
blespoonful of butter in a saucepan,
fry in it a small onion, sliced, salt and
plenty of paprica. Cook onion until
a light brown; then add potatoes;
cover with water and cook until the
water has boiled away, when the pota.
toes should be soft and mealy.
