,rhfch he shall have been elected; but
nm spcb special election shall be held
liter the next ensuing first Monday In
July, M to1- o4o+
md he in force from and after its pass
age and publication.
A similar law, Sec. ga m, APP
plies to all county officers, except
mo superintendent of schools, in
case OF neglect or failure to elect,
as in case of tie vote. This law
applies to superintendent of
schools until the term of such Of
ficer was changed so as to begin
on the first Monday July instead
of the Erst Monday in January.
The new law places the county
superintendent OF schools on the
same basis as all other county Of
fcers and the bill providing for
the new law was introduced on
May End by the Senate committee
on Education, composed of Sena-
tors Donald, Martin, Perry, Teas
dale, Albers, Hoyt and Gaylord,
and passed both houses of the
legislature without a dissenting
vote.
Again the people of this county
)are called upon to elect county
superintendent OF schools, as Inc
election in April resulted IN a tie.
The special election is called I'm
der the above new law. Arthur
7. Austin and Grant Cook, the
present superintendent, are both
opponents again for the office.
Considerable of excitement is be-
Jog caused by this election and as
Goth candidates are Wellknown
through recent campaign, the only
proposition is to get out the vot-
rs next Saturday. AS this spec
~ election is an extra expense
every voter should turn out and
see that no tie occurs again.

The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1911-01-12
Keeps His 7in1epiece Fast

Again, man acquires sort of sub
hope to be punctual unless his watch
were fast He feels that he can keep
up to time when he is calculating by
fast watch, but never If he has to
calculate by correct watch"
Said one man: 81 always keep my
watch fast-anything from five to
twenty minutes-as l am terrified that
it may get slow should put it back to
the right time"
Another: my watch always gains
a few seconds a day, and let 1t go on
gaining for about month or so. Then
put 1t back to the right time. Why
don't always try to keep it right? Be-
cause it is too much bother, and be-
cause have grown accustomed to
having it fast and feel strange when
1t Is right"
A we'll known business man said
that he always kept his watch exactly
two minutes fast. first because it had
tendency to lose, and, second, be-
cause it made for greater punctuality
and avoided the risk of missing trains
by half minute or so. Most business
men of his acquaintance did similarly,
he added.
The secretary of the Magneta Time
company, limited, which has control of
10000 clocks in the United Kingdom,
said that in his experience almost
every one preferred to keep their
clocks fast and requested that they
should be set for this purpose.
