Ballot Boxes

The question of the Ballot Boxes for
the unused ballots at the Primnry Elec-
ton seems to be settled by letter re-
ceived by A. F. Perrier from the Az.
torney Generals office which in part is
as follows:
81 beg to advise that the primary law
does not require the blank ballot box
to be of any particular description. 1t
requires only that it be labelled "blank
ballot box. Anybox that is adequate
in size and form to hold the blank bal
lots until the same are destroyed after
the votes have been counted, as re-
qured by law, is in our opinion a suf-
ficient compliane with the statute. The
blank ballot box serves only a tempor-
ary purpose. 1t is merely receptacle
to hold the blank ballots until the same
are des trOyed

Sugar Streets at Rocky Ford

Rocky Ford. Colo, June 6.-An inno-
walton in street treatment is being
tried here by Superintendent Noble of
the American Beet Sugar Company.
Beet sugar syrup, a by-product of
every sugar factory and which sells to
the farmers for feeding purposes for
$40 ton, is being applied.
1t was first tried on the tennis courts
at the factory and so fine a surface
did it produce that Noble conceived the
idea of applying the syrup to the
streets. A small section of one of the
streets has been coated with the syrup
and after being rolled has prodnced a
surface free from dust and one that is
much harder and more even than any
made with the different oil preparations
that have been experimental with.
1t is also asserted that it will wear
much longer 1t is believed that one
coat properly applied and rolled will
last year and the expense will not be
great.

Mr. y. A. Dawson returned from
Denver, Thursday where he at
tended the convention held by the
Roosevelt Republicans.
The increase in the attendance
of the Sunday School and Church
was very noticeable last Sunday,
and we sincerity hope that from
now on each sundays attendance
will show an increase over the pro-
ceeding Sunday. We have Il large
territory to draw from in the Ovid
district and our church should be
crowded every Sunday. DR.. Am
mcrmann did not preach Sunday,
itS he was unable to get to Ovid on
account cf the bad roads. but it is
very seldom that Brother Am
mcrmann is not with Us on SUNDAYS
and one can come to church pre-:
pared to hear II splendid sermon.

being rchearscd. Both Mrs. Ben

working hard to make this one of
the best programs we have had on
chjldrens day. Don't forget to

will find the young peoples and

We certainly got our share of
moisture Monday night. An inch
and one half of rain fell in an hour
this is by far the heaviest rain we
have had since last August and will
be great benefit to the crops,
barring severe hail storm the fall
wheat crop Is practically assured.

Class Song

Written by Mrs G. E. HerdrcksI
There are many voices cheering
For the queenly rose SO red,
And the voice of praise is ringing.
Round the lily's stately head,
But we choose the smiling Heartsease
With its face so quaint and old;
Should you ask what are our colors
They're the purple and the gold.
'Tis the golden of the sunshine
On the purple hill tops far
'Tis the golden of the wheatfields
And the golden Morning star.
'Tis the hue of Natures choosing
For her fields and flowers bright
And the gold and purple blending
Float forever in the light.
When the years have come and vanished
And the purple shadows fall,
When the golden glow of sunset
Has touched the hearts of ALL.
May we still be comrades ever
As in the days of old;
May we allbe found together
By the Purple andthe Gold.

DOUBLE HANGING At
CUMMING OCT, 18TH
Two Negroes Will Be Executed
For Horrible Crime. Guard
ed By Troops.

Two of the negroes charged with as
saulting and numbering a young lady
in Forsyth county were convicted be-
fore Judge Morris last Thursday and
sentenced to be hanged on the 25th.
Their names are Oscar Daniel and Err
nest Knox. A third negro implicated
in the crime had been lynched.
The negroes were carried to Cum
ming from Atlanta by more than $50
troops and the firm stand taken by
Judge Morris prevented any attempt
at lynching. The convicted men were
returned to Atlanta to await the day of
the execution.
The crime was one of the most horri-
BILE that was ever committed in the
State. The young lady lived two weeks
after having been assaulted, beaten
and left for dead in the woods.

TWO NEW STEEL
BRIDGES ON THE
BELL FERRY PIKE

The completion of two new bridges
on the Bells Ferry road was report
ed to the Board of County Commission
ers at their meeting last week. They
are of steel and concrete construction.
A resolution was passed by the
Board that in the future the expense
of repairing all bridges between Cobb
and Fulton counties shall be pro-rated
between the counties according to the
taxable values of the counties. This
means that Fulton county will have to
pay the greatest portion, as her values
are several times greater than those of
Cobb.
The contract for hardware supplies
for October was awarded to Dobbs
Hardware Co., and for other supplies
to Anderson Brothers Co.

Stringer have proven themselves in
a class by themselves, as the best
shooters, and match between these
two for the championship of the club

eral other members bid fair to push
them for first honors, however, and
with few weeks more of practice,
some good shots will be developed
