 That more than 15,0O0,0o0 persons in the United States will record their votes for President in the campaign of the present year Is evident from the offiical statistics of presidential vote published in the Statistical Abstract of the United States, which has just been issued by the bureau of statistics. department of commerce and labor.

RECITALS AT HUDSON
Piano and Song Recitals Creditably
 Rendered by Young Ladies

Marion, April 22.-(Special) 1.-The long
 list of musical events of the present sea- son at Judson college found a pleasing variety in the combination of piano and song recital given tonight by Miss Ethel Haley of Haleyville. and Miss Grace Sctimmel of East Lake.
 Miss Haleys playing revealed good technique. musical intelligence. and re- inement of style. Her programme, con ssting of beautiful compositions of Chopin, Menhelssohn, Brahms and others were well played, but the chief interest was centered in her artistic interpretation of Schuetts rCarniyal Mignon,' her deli- cate conception of Tone Poem" (Me- Dowelp, and her brilliant rendition of a prelude by Huss.
 Miss sehimmers voice has developed re- markably in every way. It is a lnezzo soprano of pleasing quality good range and volume, and her singing of her well valied programme was both artistic and soulful. While she seemed especially sue cessful in the more sustained and sombre style, such as the aria from Gaul's Holy City," the aria from "Carmen," and the Cadman Indian Songs.
 The recital was concluded with Schu- mann's "A Minor Concerto" brilliantly and intelligently played by Miss Haley and MT. Goode
 The first musical recital leading to con- mereement at Marion seminary was given by Miss Julia Long, Miss Cornelia Deer and Miss Ella Lee Morgan this even- ing in the seminary auditorium to an au- dience of seminary friends. These young ladies have completed a source of musical stuGies as outlined by the faculty. and are given certificates for the work Gc- complished in piano.
 | The selections were all well rendered. but sl eeial mention should be made of | the playing of Miss Julia Long, whose in- | terpretation of ''Impromptu, Op. 2S, No 3" was given in excellent and pleasing l II amer.
 l Miss Deer was at her best in the Schu- 1 ett's "Valse Op 49, No. 2." and Miss Nor gan rendered the Mendelssohn "Kcndo Caprissio" particularly well. These young ladies were assisted by Miss Grace Pharr and Catherine caben readers

Quarters for Dogs


 new industry for this section is fast materializing in the maintenance and per- feeting of bird dogs in various kennels that are fast becoming dotted at inter- vals in this and other counties where some of the finest specimens from va rons sections of the United States may be seen daily undergoing regular rou- tine of training and perfeeting for the sport. Near Midway in Bullock county A. D. sheehee has erected q well reg ulated quarters for their keeping and has employed an expert handler who de- votes his entire time and attention to them. Another is maintained at Flaw kinsville, in this county. and still another at Enon in Bullock county, all of which are similarly equipped and well main tained.
 Chattahoochee Rising
 The river is rising rapidly here and is expected to be away out of It's banks during the next AS hours. The downpour of rain for the past 24 hours has been exceedingly heavy and farm work, which had progressed nidely, will of necessity be again delayed for several weeks.
 For Identifying Eufaula
 It is currently rumored that the mat ter of paving Broad street and it's in- tersecting thoronghfare is agitating the minds of the citizens and although no action in the particular direction has been taken, it is not at all improbable.
 The work of completing the parking of Broad street its. entire length through the business section now going on will render the driveways so narrow that the work can be done at a nominal cost and a spirit is prevailing to make the city beautiful as far as possible.
 With the completion of the new cleo tric lighting plant and the proposed great white way the action would be in touch with the spirit and may materiaize. 1t is further known that some of the bus mess houses are negotiating for hand some electric signs the plans of which are already being submittedf
