Took D. A. r. Twenty
Hours to Elect President,

Washington, April, 24.--Af-
ter twenty hours devoted to
counting and recounting the bal
lots cast yesterday, the Daugh-
ters of the American Re volution
today found the honors of the
blnennial election of their socie-
ty divided between the admins
tration and the anti ad ministra-
tion forces. The big fight of the
congress was won by the admin
istration, in the election of Mrs.
Matthew T. Scott, of Illinois, to
be president, general. The second
officer in point of honor, that of
vice presidant-generai in charge
of organizations, however, wen t
to the anti administration fol-
lowers by the election of Mrs.
Mirandi b. Tulloch, of this city.
With a majority over Mrs.
William Cummings Story of New
York, of only 8 votes out of S73
ballots cast, Mrs. Scott's victory
goes down upon the records of
the society as one of the most
closely contested in the history
OF the organization. Scarcely
had the first wave OF disappoint-
ment at the narrow defeat of
Mrs. Story swept over her fol-
lowers before action was taken
to renew the fight to elect the
retiring State regent as president
general two years hence, when
Mrs. Scott's term OF Office will
expire.

night OF February 7 last murder
ed bis alleged paramour, Eliza
Hunter, and who received the
death sentence here at the Feb

here today by Sheriff j. ii.
Lightsey.
The crime for which the neg

deal Of interest at the time of
its commission on account of
the harsh and brutal way in
which it was perpetrated. On
Sunday night, February Z, Rob-
inson dragged Eliza from their
house, near the depot here, and
to keep the woman frcm going
up the street, he cut her several

blade of large pocket nife in

Editor Lancaster News:
Our city has had number of
religious revivals recently and
as result numbers of new men,
bers have been received into the
different churches and great good
has been accomplished. The
First Methodist church was the
hrst to hold a revival this year
and the regular pastor, who is
one OF the ablest preachers we
have ever heard, did all the
preaching. They had a very fine
meeting. The meeting at the
First Baptist church closed only
a few days ago. DIR. Truitt, of
Texas, who is sometimes called
the "Spurgeon of the South" :"
did most of the preaching. His
sermons were very fine. Moth.

In company with three gentle
men of this city, we had the
pleasure of an automobile trip to
Fort Valley recently, distance
of about thirty miles from here.
1t was an ideal afternoon for
such a trip. The roads were in
fine condition, and travelling
through an. agricultural and
peach section which is famed Tor
its abundant crops, and with a
very congenial party, the trip
was very pleasant indeed. Farm

Lut there are many valuable
farms, from an agricultural
standpoint alone. We noticed
many beautiful fields of small
grain, both wheat and oats.
Many of the farmers attribute
the fine condition of the grain
largely to the late application of
nitrate of soda, which is now
used great deal as late fer
tilizer for grain. Our attention
was also attracted to the very
large, level fields, being prepared
for corn and cotton. Don't think

about finished planting corn, at

vantage of the fne weather this
week, planting cotton.
The recent advance in the |
price of cotton to 10 cents caused !
thousands of bales to be thrown
on the market and we have ex-
pected a sharp decline as a re-
suit, but the price holds up well.
Many farmers are anxious to sell
