REMARKABLY CLOSE RACES IN
PRIMARY WEDNESDAY.
Ellis Defeated Roberts for Clerk by
Fifteen Votes. Sheriff Maddox
and Collector Shelley Lose.

CUTHBERT Ga. April 4.-(Spe-
cial to The Dawson News. )-There
are more surprised and disappointed
epople in Randolph county today
than there have been before in more
than a quarter of a century. The
battle of ballots for county offices is
over, and has resulted in a general
"shake-up." The results of the con-
test for every important Office in the
county is a surprise, except for tax
receiver, in which H. H. Knighton
had no opposition.
Z. Taylor is reelected to the office
of ordinary ty something over 200
votes, but the surprise is that every
body (even Judge Taylor's warmest
friends) expected the contest be-
tween him and l.. M. Moye to be
very close.
B. W. Ellis is reelected clerk Of
of the superior court by Is votes,
when it was confidently expected that
he would be defeated in view Of the
fact that there were three candidates
in the field. G. A. Roberts of She'll
man came to Cuthbert precinct with
100 majority, which was overcome
by Ellis majority here
The greatest surprise, however, is
IN the race for sheriff, in which w.
5. Taylor defeated Sheriff w. l. Mad
dox by nearly 400 votes.
Max w. Mitciner, formerly of Ter
rell county, wins the race for treas
urer over six opponents, and q. H.
Shelley is defeated by the jolly lobe
Watson of Shellman in the race for
tax collector by 10 votes.
Mr.. Rhodes is reelected surveyor
over his opponent, J. B. McWilliams,
and o. ]. Herman defeats J. o. Mad
dox for coroner.
One feature of the campaign is
that everything has been pleasant,
and so far as known no candidate has
engaged in any mud Singing"

SAVE MILLIO is TO SOUTH
MAKING EFFORT TO REDUCE
TARE CHARGES ON COTTON.
Secretary Wilson of Agricultural De-
partment Has the Matter Up.
WaStefuI Method of BaIing.

WASHINGTON.-Efforts to save
more than $25, 100000 a year now
being lost by Southern cotton grow
ers through tare charge are being
made by the department of agricuIt-
ure. Secretary Wilson has written
to Liverpool and other foreign cot
ton exchanges for suggestions as to
how these tare charges might be re-
duced and has received replies from
all of them.
IF cotton could be baled in better
shape" says the Liverpool exchange,
in its reply, there is no doubt that
the European exchanges would be
willing to pass bylaws for such cot
ton to be sold actual tare,' provided
uniform length and weight of canvas
be adopted for every bale"
Their exchange lays the whole
blame for the loss on the American
export merchant and planter.
There is no article of similar val
ne which is so wastefully packed and
of which so little care is taken in
transit as American cotton" contin-
ues the letter. eff the cotton were
baled in the same manner as the
growths of India and Egypt freights
and insurance premiums would be
lower"
Dr. B. T. Galloway, chief of the
bureau of plant industry, said that
in his opinion the problem would be
solved after the commune
ty system of cotton growing had once
been established

A CARNEGIE LIBRARY FOR DAWSON:
COUNCIL GIVES $1,000 FOR MAINTENANCE

After a delay of two years the city
has accepted the conditions upon
which Andrew Carnegie said he
would erect public library building
in Dawson.
When the matter was taken I'D
with Mr.. Carnegie in 1910 by the
local library association he stated
that he would make Dawson pres
ent of library building if the city
would guarantee $1,000 year for
its maintenance. The matter, after
some discussion, was allowed to drop
at that time and nothing more was
heard of it.
The effort, however, to secure a
library building was recently renew

DIED OF A BROKEN HEART.
Judge Told Prisoner That He Was
the Prize Mean Man.

Many physicians hold that there is
no such thing as a broken" heart.
That nobody ever died from that

faced a Chicago judge on the charge
of stealing his own daughters we'd
ding finery in order to get money to
buy drink. You are the prize
mean man." said the judge to the
prisoner. The man was fined and
taken to a cell. He sat down, buried
his face in his hands and began to
sob. My own daughter, too" he
was heard to murmur His grief
continued. Late in the night he tum-
bled to the floor of his cell and died
in few minutes Heart disease"
was given as the cause of his death.
The lookup man thinks it was a case
of broken heart.

VOTERS IN FAVOR OF PLAN
IF ''ONCE REGISTERED ALWAYS
REGISTERED" SLATON IDEA.
Annoyance of Registering Over
Again Every Year.

Voters generally hail with delight
Senator John M Slaton's new regis
tration plan.
Mr.. Slaton's plan is that when a
voter registers once he is always reg
istered so long as he pays his taxes.
1t would relieve the voter of the
trouble and annoyance of registering
over and over again every year. The
suggestion is not an entirely new
one, but it is the first time it has
been discussed in several years.
Several years ago a feeble effort
was made to have such provision
incorporated in the registration law,
but it was defeated with the politi-
clans If left to the voters, however,
the chances are it would be almost
unanimously adopted, as nothing
bothers the average voter so much
as having to register.
The present law cuts off many
good voters simply because, for one
reason or another, they find it in
convenient to gister every year.

HUDSON PROMISED SLATON
BIT OF INTERESTING POLITICAL
GOSSIP GOING THE ROUNDS.
When Commissioner Was Under In
vestigatiOn He Sought Help and
Advice of Acting Governor.

WHICH commissioners as OuuSE AA~
vestigatiOn He Sought Help and
Advice of Acting Governor.
ATLANTA.-An interesting piece
of political gossip that is going the
rounds in connection with the race
for governor is that Commissioner
of Agriculture Hudson, before he de-
cided to enter the race for governor,
voluntarily promised to support MIR.
Slaton for that Office.
The incident happened while Mr..
Slaton was governor during the in
term following the resignation of
Governor Hoke Smith,
1t will be recalled that at that
time the legislative investigation of
the state department of agriculture
was on in full blast, and Commission
er Hudson was quite naturally anx-
ious about the outcome.
1t is said Commissioner Hudson
went to Governor Slaton and asked
him to advise him as a friend as to
the best course to pursue in connec-
tion with the investigation, and that
Governor Slaton gave him some adj
vice, during the course of which he
said:
eff there is anything in connection
with the department they want to
know and can prove admit it prompt
ly and unhesitatingly. If you have
employed an excessive number of
fertilizer inspectors, more than the
law contemplated, say so and tell the
number That will obviate any cross
examination, and as a result there
will be less talk about it,"
Commissioner Hudson pursued
that course. After that he went to
Governor Slaton and thanked him,
it is said, and voluntarily promised
to support him for governor. At
that time Mr.. Hudson was contem-
plating making the race for congress
from the Third district.

the small demand for finished goods
the past two years" Neville said
that the New York cotton exchange
was criticised and threatened for not
adopting the government cotton
standards. Government standards
to be complete" he said, should be
made from upland and Atlantic
States cotton, which is a basis for
all cotton trade, in for future deliv-
cry on all cotton exchanges and is

world over where American cotton is
bought and sold. We are willing to
