Lovers of green tea will be dis
tressed to learn that after May |
they will find it impossible to
procure their favorite beverage
in this country. The govern
ment's tea board" has after
careful consideration, decided
that the artificial coloring Of tea
is injurious to health and that,
therefore, its further importation
is unlawful and must be stopped.
The order will not go into effect
until May l, because that is the
time when the new crop begins
to come in, and to enforce the
ruling earlier might have worked
considerable hardship to those
taken by surprise with importa-
tons on the way. Definite notice
is given now, however, and i'm
porters hereafter will attempt to
import artifcially imported tea
at their peril. The decision is
expected to have a far reaching
effect, especially on the commerce
Of Japan, which exports artifi-
cially colored tea in large guam
titles. The United States imports
approximately lis, 100000, 900
pounds Of tea a year and the pro-
portion artificially colored is
roughly estimated at not less
than half. It is assumed that a
large number Of the tea preduc-
ers of Japan will be compelled
materially to alter their methods
to meet the new treasury regula'

TRUE IN ALMOST ALL

Joseph Pulitzer left $2,OO0,O 900 to
found a school OF journalism. We
do not think much of that. For the
last years we have been meeting
men upon every corner in Ovens
boro who have been ready to tell
us how to run the Messenger. They
don't need any school of journalism
They know all about It; we dou't
know thing.I is true most-of these
people have made a failure in their
own line of business. but there are
100 better journalists in this town
than ourselves, perhaps even more.
Here we have been grinding along
running a poor sort of sheet when
they were ready to show us how to
make a brilliant success. We feel
sometimes ashamed that we didn't
relinquish the job to them long ago.

TOTAL OF LEADING CANDIDATES

Frankfort, KY, Nov. 24.-The
State Board of Election Commits
sioners to-day began a canvass of
the vote cast on November 7. The
returns had been tabulated by Rob-
ert Cook, Assistant Secretary of
State, so that before the commission
met the figures were ready to be
laid before its members. The
table showed that a total of 435,S16
votes-bad been cast for Governor,
McCreary receiving 226,771 and
O'Rear 195.436. McCreary had a
majority of all candidates. The
Socialists polled total of Sis
votes.
Only three mistakes were found
by the Election Commission. In
Perry county the 200 votes cast for
Robert L. Greene we're left off the
tabulation as made by Mr.. Cook.
The commission found that in Lau-
rel county 900 votes were counted
for Monroe that should not have
been counted, there being an error
Of that much in the returns. In
Marshall county the vote for Rhea,
for Treasurer, about 100, was not
certified. This accounts for the fact
that Mr.. Rheas vote shows less
than the other candidates and Mr..
Monroe's more than the Republic
ans.
All the counties had reported,
and accordingly the count was COM
plete.
The returns in the Railroad Com
missioners' race show that Finn won
over Finley by a majority of 49,
211. and Klair won over Tarlton by
5000. Green Garrett, who had no
opposition, received 74,747 votes in
the Third district for Railroad Com
missioner.
The commissioners decided that
1t would be best to count the re-
turns by counties and tabulate them
as counties. instead of certifying to
the returns as tabulated in advance
of the meeting. Mr.. Cook repre-
scented the Republicans and Robert
A. c. Van Wrinkle and Judge James
Fl. Hazelrigg the Democrats. The
counting and tabulating required
time and care, but the board man
aged to finish it's work this after
noon.
The following shows the vote in
the whole State for each of the
leading candidates:
