you do"
Much obliged" said Loretta, with
a tinge Of irony. whats the news?"
"Oh, don't know. Nothing much,
l guess, except Emma Lovett was
over from Milton last night. She stay
ed to tea" Mrs. Foster spoke care
Iessly, but her eyes were fixed curious
ly on Loretta's calm face.
"Your Cousin Emma's the girl that
sells valentines to Amasa Bennett,
amt she?
"Oh, we'll, you're kinder sarcastic,
Loretta Gray, just because it's so hap
pened that Amasa Benefits walked
nine miles to Milton every February
and brought valentine from the store
there. 1 s'pose he thinks nobody in
Long River knows a word about it..
Fifteen years he's been doing it, and
nobody don't know now who gets
them valentines" She shot look of
bafled curiosity at her hostess.
Loretta knitted busily, even while
she returned Mrs. Fosters look with
one equally hostile.
Seems as If Amasa wanted folks to
know he'd put notice in the postof-
fice," she said sarcastically.
Somebody must get 'em," pursued
Mrs. Foster relentlessly. II should

how long"
Fifteen years." replied Loretta even
ly.
And 1 amt ever heard of any one
amt never paid any attention to any
one but you. OF course you don't say
whether you get any valentines or
not" There was covert malice in her
tone now
Loretta's eyes flashed. 81 don't need
to say anything about my mail so long
as your aunt Tabitha has the Long
River postoflce. l guess what you
don't know about it, Mary Foster,
amt worth knowing"
Land o. living, guess when folks
begin to accuse me Of shopping into
their letters better be goingv' Mrs.
Foster tripped Indignantly into the
kitchen and donned her wraps with
angry haste.
Then Loretta dropped the red shawl,
and an anxious expression came into
her bright eyes, and presently that
was blotted out by slow tears, the
tears Of one who rarely weeps and
then only when courage has been test
ed beyond its strength.
Amasa Bennett had been keeping
company with Loretta for fifteen years,
and while other folk wondered when
they would be married, instead Of each
living solitary existence, Loretta and
her lover knew it was because Amasa
had never asked the momentous ques-
ton.
Other sweethearts had been married
and some had died and others had chill
dren growing up around them, while
Loretta and Amasa drifted along In
the same nonotony Of Wednesday

We might as well get 1t done now"
He took Loretta's hand with bashful
tenderness and stroked it softly with
his rough palm.
Loretta blushed holly. I'm put on
my silk dress If I'm going to get mar
ried," she said shyly, Withdrawing her
hand from his.
When she reached the door Amasa
was at her side, and his arms were
about her. '"There's something / didn't
do" he said resolutely.
"What~ whispered Loretta.
He kissed her on the lips and then.
holding her away from him, looked In
her eyes with new confidence in his

smile.

10000 Votes.
THE RESULT.

COLUMBUS. OHIO. May 22.-Theo-
dore Roosevelt has defeated President
Taft by $4,000 to $4,000 votes and has
captured 81 of the 80 district delegates.
Governor Harmon has defeated Wood
row Wilson by a majority of at least
10000
These facts stood out prominently to-
day as the returns from the Republican
and Democratic presidential preference
primaries triekled in. The returns were
complete enough to show that Ohio,
the pother of presidents had rejected
her Native son, William Howard Taft,
and had decided to support his prede
cessor for the Republican nomination.

and State Manager Lewis C. Laylin
claimed that the six delegates at large

Pretty Blondes and
Soft Drink Fondness
Make Atlanta Famous

Atlanta consumes more soft drinks to
the square inch than any other town
in the universe, says Joseph Schmall,
of Laredo, Texas, who represents a
syrup house Also. in the opinion of
Mr. Schman, there are more pretty
blondes in Atlanta than, can be found
anywhere else.
Perhaps the two facts have a con
nection.' said MI Schmall Maybe
the blondes are responsible for the
heavy consumption of soda water In
any event. slough of it is drunk here,
which accounts I suppose, for the fact
that Atlanta is a prohibition town.
And as for blondes-l never saw SO
many in my life Out in Dallas l be-
lieve there are just as many good look
ing brunettes as here, but your blondes
can't be matched"

Danger Apparent
Last Five Years.

The council has been aware of this
rapidly increasing danger for five
yeats For The pas; three years the
problem has been acute. But it was
not until few weeks ago that the
matter found its way through the va
rious commissions and onnnittees to
the council for final action Without
deyoting more than feN moments
time TO its consideration The council has
twice referred the matter tie the finance
committee The finance committee has
twice postponed action without APP
preaching a final decision.
Early in the spring the board Of
health asked for bids from all manu-
facurers Of garbage disposal plants.
They received a number Then $500
was appropriated to employ DR.. Ru-
dolph Herring, the engineer who had
planned Atlanta's watervorks and sew
er system, for expert advice on the
bids He came to Atlanta and made a
recommendation The board Of health
unanimously adopted it. The bond
commission approved it, Mayor VIM
urged it, And in that form it went to
the council.
The successful bid provides for an
expenditure of $4,000 of this amount
S5o000 to be paid cash and the re-
mainder in annual installments So
the council referred it to the finance

Majority of State
Delegates For T. R.

Brown was apparently confident that
the state convention will abide with the
will of the voters as expressed in the
primaries.
Delegates to the state convention
were elected from only about one third
OF the counties. the remainder to be Sc
lected at county conventions. Roose-
welt has large majority Of those
elected
On the Democratic side Governor
Harmon proba bly, will have the solid
vote of the Ohio delegation in the Bal
timore convention Though several
Wilson delegates were elected, the unit
rule will be followed as q result OF an
agreement made by the Harmon and
Wilson followers at state committee
meeting
Latest returns indicate that Harmon
delegates were elected in the, First.
Second, Fifth. Eleventh, Twelfth,
Thirteenth, Fourteenth, Fifteenth Six
teenth and Eighteenth districts, giving
him twenty delegates, exclusive of the
six delegates at-large. Wilson ap
peared to be the winner in the Third.
foutin, Elgntn, Nlnth, lenln, seven
teenth. Nineteenth Twentieth and
Twenty first. giving him a total Of
eighteen delegates.
Both sides are claiming the Sixth
and Seventh with returns slightly ia
voring Harmon.
The returns were very slow in com
ing in. owing to the large number Of
candidates for local offices in the coun-
ties.
Wilson's best showing was made in
the cities. while Harmon swept the
rural districts. Harmon managed 20
carry Cincinnati by only small mar
gin Wilson captured Cleveland and
Toledo When the city returns, the
first to be reported, came in the Wilson
people were iubilant but when the
rural districts came along the victory of
Harmon was soon made clear.
The ballots showed that William Jen
nings Bryan has numerous adherents in
Ohio, his name being written in by ad
miring voters in all parts of the state.

DR. W l. Gilbert, president of the

to whisper the real truth of the situa
ton. The board Of health has finally
agreed on a solution But while we
have resorted to every means known,
we have been unable to get the council
TO act"
John Jentzen. sanitary chief. said to
day if the council does not act at once
he feared a much more horrible situa-
ton. He has been forced to move his
dump piles from place TO place until
he is almost at the end of possible
places. He meets protests on every side
from citizens They are growing very
impatient a few injunction suits
would mean that the department would
have no place left to dump garbage. 1t
would be left in peoples yards and on
their back porches. And a pestilence
would result such as Atlanta never
dreamed

remarkable things I have ever heard
Of when I consider this sanitary situa-
