ELECTION CASE:
Up At AUGUSTA

AUGUSTA, GA, Dec. 18.-Charging the
Hayne partisans with fraud in the may
orally election here on December 4, the
contested election case brought by Dr.
J. K. Littleton, defeated candidate for
mayor, was begun in the superior court
room here today before Ordinary A. K.
Walton The interest which has teen
shown from the first in the outcome of
the election and the probability of its
being successfully contested brought forth
IL large crowd to witness the hearing.
Roykin Wright. representing L. c.
Hayne, the successful candidate, began
the argument. He contended that the
result of the election was declared De-
cember and the petitioned, filed Decem-
Der 10, was one day too late
He also argued that the prayer in the
amendment, asking the court to take
charge of the ballot box. was a new
procedure, and was not fled within the
five-day limit allowed by the statutes
He asked the dismissal of this amend
ment
Mr.. Wright went further to show the
authority given for the opening and ex-
aiming of the ballot boxes and the
sanctity and il reliability of the freeman's
vote, He argued that the examination of
the ballot boxes would be unconstltu-
tional and without authority Other
points in favor Of the contestee were ar
gued by MI Wright during the sitting
which adjourned at o'clock this after
noon
The hearing will be resumed at 10
o'clock tomorrow morning
The fight over the Augusta mayoralty
has been waged in one form or another
since last summer. when the Hayne fac
ton refused to go into a primary with
the Littleton candidates.

Mrs. Marie Clayton told superior
court today that her husband, Ernest c.

Dissertation Of
The States Emblem

Atlanta, Aug. 20. Attention
has been called to the fact that
a flag of Georgia is being used
by painters at the capital as a
floor covering to catch dripping
paint. and the dissertation of the
states emblem is arousing a
storm of protest on the part of
the people who feel that a state
flag should he held in reverence
similar to that which is felt to-
ward the Stars and Stripes.
The flag in question is the old,
tattered emblem that used to fly
from the staff on top of the dome,
and it had recently been replaced
by a new one which boasts
brighter colors.

WIN at To Do For Ants

The following is taken from the
r1rreat issue of Farm and Home:
San Iowa farmer is puzzled
how to keep ants from his pansies.
II cannot imagine what the ants
want from pansies or other healthy
plants. They do not feed on sound
s,gant tissue. But when plants are
anfested with aphis (plant lice
ants are sure to come and feast on
the nectar secreted by these lice.
The remedy, of course, is to get
rid oe the ants. Spray lice-infes
ed plants with strong tobacco pre-
paraton, especially from the un.
der side. or with kerosene emul-
sSSau. or whaIe-oil.soap emulsion.
Sometimes ants become trouble
some by building their great nests
an cultivated ground, or in sod, or
a,ear trees or shrubs. In that case,
ssWcGre quantity of bisulphide
of carbon, punch a hole IN the ant
hIiE aud pour a table spoonful or
two into it, then quickly cover the
gaote With earth so that the fumes
of the drug have to pervade all
tlrough the ant nest. That will
quickly put a stop to the nuisance. "
