THE LOST VOTES
WERE LOST HERE
IN DIXIE LAND
OUR PEOPLE DON'T Vote
Three Times as Many in Pro-
portion Elsewhere

Washington, d. c., Dec. 5.-Much Of
the apparent mystery in the dimini-
tion in the recent presidential vote,
which shows practically no gain over
the figures of 1896, though in the in
Itervening sixteen years the male 7oters
of three new states and several hun
bred thousand women have been aided
to the electorate, disappears when au
e2 animation is made of the vote L the
Southern states. While there has beel
some loss in Northern states, as COM
pared with 1896, it is below Mason and
DiXon's line that the secret is 10 be
found Of what has proved a puzzle TO
manyAthe apparent failure of the yot-
ing strength of the country to keep
pace with the tremendous increase in
/ population in the last twenty years
through tn! :nsence Of any eilrct-
&c opposition in the Southern sta5es
the vote there has fallen away to a dc
/ gree That is both surprising ana Ia
mentable. This is most strikingIy
brought out in the table below, where
the presidential vote of some of the
Southern states is given for 1896 AMI
1912. In order to show what the nor
NAL vote of these states should be the
returns for those years are given OF
several Northern and Western states

AFTER SICKNESS
How To Recover Strength.

So many people are asking how to
recover their strength after severe
sickness that we are publishing this
information for their benefit.
After grippe, pleurisy, pneumonia
or any illness what you need is new
strength and better blood
The most certain way to get this
is by taking Vinol, our delicious cod
liver and iron preparation without
oiD. 1t creates strength, improves the
blood, sharpens the appetite and re-
stores the entire system to a healthy,
robust condition.
Mrs. Alice Mill of Newton, n. c.,
says: 81 have a very severe attack Of
grippe which confined me to my bed
for several weeks. After l was able
to sit up, l felt weak, tired and wor,
out for long time. A friend ad-
cised me to try Vinol and before |
had taken one bottle | was entirely
relieved of that tired, worn out feel
ing which usually follows grippe and
l had regained my strength and felt
well again"
Try bottle of Vinol. Your money
will be returned if it does not restore
your vitality and strength. Murray &
Hooks Pharmacy, Americas, Ga.

Total Electoral
Presidential Vote Votes.

1t is hardly necessary to explain that
in many of the Southern states it has
been found essential in the interest of
good government, to pass laws practi-
cally DISTINGUISHING a very large por-
ton of the negro vote This was al
most solidly republican, and it's disap-
pearance has left but a skeleton of a
party for the G. 0. P, principally
made up of white men interested in
securing federal jobs. With the van
ishing of a powerful opposition, which
existed in a number of these states
in 1896, the democratic vote has
gradually decreased until now the
number of such voters who go to the
polls is scarcely more than enough to
make sure the carrying of the state.
1t is surprising, for instance, to dis
cover that in Texas, which is one of
the five largest states in the union,
and where in 1896 the democrats poll
" O'CA o'V,OVU NOCeo, lutlT SIFeuS I'll
this year dropped off to 221,4 If
one may judge from Missouri's vote,
Texas, a larger state, should have poll
ed last month nearly 10000 votes
Here alone is loss of nearly half :.
million votes. Virginia's vote makes
an equally poor showing when COM
pared with states of about the same
size. Minnesota and Iowa. The fig
ures will be found interesting as show
ing where the very large part of the
loss of votes has occurred The rem
edy for it is another story, and must
rest with the Southern states them
selves.

Big Land Show

With the holding of meetings OF
state exhibit commissions in
Seattle, Portland and lewiston,
Moscow and Sand Point. Idaho
this week, arrangements have been
completed for all seven states in
the American Northwest to partici-
pate in the Northwestern Produce
Exposition to be held in Minnea-
polls, Nov. II to %.
Minnesota as state will have
the largest exhibit, Governor
Eberhart having named the COM
mission months ago and the COM
mission at onc9 buying extra
space.
Montana will have the most
sectional exhibits, every valley or
ditrict worth considering being
represented in the exposition.
North Dakota and South Dakota
will have state exhibits made by
their commissioners, both of whom
are experienced men with large
numbers Of assistants.
The counties of northern Idaho
will combine to put on the state
exhibit from that state this year.
Oregon will make it's bow to the
public this year with a large and
complete exhibit collected by the
Portland Commercial Club and
Oregon Development League. It
will be the first time the state as a
whole has collected display for
any land products exposition and
the pent up energy Of a number of
years is being expended on the
exhibit this ar.
Governor Hay Of Washington
named a commission a month ago.

The Harvest
Has Commenced

The joyful music of the binders
can now be heard around Wibaux
and one OF the largest crops in
recent years is to be harvested.
Within a couple of weeks most of
the grain will be cut and then
threshing will commence in real
earnest for the harvest of the 1912
crop. Old residents state that
this years crop is exceptional and
has never been surpassed and
those farmers who were not struck
with hail storms will harvest crops
that are above their highest expect
ations. OF course, many Of the
unfortunate one carried hail insur-
ance which will help considerable
towards the price of their next
years seed, and with the bountiful
harvest in store no one will have
occasion to suffer as there will be
plenty and some to spare for the
unfortunate ones.
This fall with the large Yield Of
grain, land should increase con
slderally in value and after the
eastern farmers read Of the large
crops harvested in Montana it
should help to bring many Of them
to this great country. Many Of
our farmers have found out that
with the right kind of work on
their lands the large yields are
sure to come and the past few bad
years have taught them all lesson
III good farming. With the pres
ent crop prospects money will be-
gln to loosen up and land values
Will rise, and tnia ear Montana
should get advertised so exten-
slvely that eastern farmers will be
discontented with their country
and move out into this great state.
