APPEAL CONTEST
FOR HOUSE SEAT

Still unsatisfied with the rulings of
the Democratic County Committees OF
Chesterfield and Powhatan counties. B.
NJ. Bonifant announced yesterday that
he would take an appeal TO the Third
and Fourth Congressional District
Committees. in seeking TO establish
his claim TO the nominate for the
House of Delegates. Under resolu-
ton adopted by the State Democratic
Committee at It's meeting on Tuesday
night, all local contests which may
arise during the present campaign are
referred to ne district committees. In
asmuch as. Chesterfield and Powhatan
are in different congressional districts,
two committees will be called upon to
decide. II Mr.. Bonifant persists in his
contention.
The Chesterfield and Powhatan COM
mittees met at Chesterfield Courthouse
yesterday and recoupted the votes cast
in the recent primary This was done
at the request of Mr. Bonifant, who
which would give the certificate to him
instead of to W. S. Ivey, who received
a majority. The recount gave Bonl-
FAINT AIS instead of i15 votes in Chcs-
terrified. and gave Ivey 729 instead of
73l. This made net gain for Boni-
FAINT of five, but did not change the
result.
MI. Bonifant then made the point
that nasnuch as the Chesterfield
County Committee had declared Cap
tain w w. Baker the direct nominee
for the House from that county. and
in doing SO represented all the Demo-
Gratis of Chesterfield. the people Of that
county had no right to vote on tho
fIoater member in addition. In other
words. that no citizen has the right to
vote in two legislative districts at one
time as he claimed was done in this
instance.

Joe Wood and Carter wa especially
fierce.
On the offensive the style of play
was changed b. Coach Yaiicey, and as
consequence only two touchdowns
were scored by the regulars. The
scrubs surprised the crowd by sending

TO GET RID OF
RHEUMA TESM

If we suffer with Rheumatism and
desire to get rid of it we must make
up our minds to subject our systems
to the proper course OF treatment for
while. The only way to cure
oneself of Rheumatism is to remove
the cause-expel the irritating uric
acid from the blood; every other
method of treatment has proved a
failure. S. S. S. cures Rheumatism
because it is the greatest of all blood
purifiers. This medicine goes down
into the circulation and expels every
particle of the sour, infammatory
uric acid which is the one great cause
OF the disease. The cure can be
greatly fastened by little care and
self denial by the patient. In the
6rst place 10 not let anything inter
fere to prevent your taking S. S. S..
regularly and according to directions;
be guarded il. Jour eating, because
an attack of indigestion will always
aggravate the symptoms of Rheuma-
Hsm. Do n t expose yourself to
damp and Indictment weather any
more than is necessary. When S. S. S.
has had time to lid the blood of the
uric acid and strengthen the system,
then these little restrictions can be
left off. This simple course has cured
many thousands of cases of Rheuma-

Promptly each day, at the hour

At the bottom of the Mettenberg,

there is little likelihood of avalanches,

Bill Burns, the former Washington
twirler, who was recently purchased
from Cincinnati by the Philadelphia
Nationals, after Detroit failed to land
him, Is probably the sleepiest athlete
who ever held down berth in the big
leagues. Bill has all others backed off
the boards when 1t comes to taking
maps, and he is not in the least par
ticular about the time he picks out for
a snooze.
1t was because of this that Burns
was put under suspension by Clarke
Griffith and later sold to the Phillies.
During recent game at Boston the
Cincinnati twirler in the box was not
going good and Burns was sent for to
warm up. He pitched three or four
balls to a catcher and then went to
the clubhouse and fell asleep. At
Brooklyn he was sent out to warm up
for Gaspar, and repeated the perform
ance, falling asleep on the clubhouse
steps.
