A FEW THOUGHTS AS WE PASS

Two statements made in the col
umns of the Record last week we
wish to correct Number one to
the effect that Tom Campbell, can
didate for congress, lost his home
township. The official vote OF
Randolph county as published in
the Pocahontas Star Herald shows
that Mr.. Campbell carried his home
township by IA votes, the exact
vote being Campbell 2O6, Oldfeld
1872. Number two to the effect
that Gov. Donaghey carried only
two counties. He carried six coun-
ties-Faulkner, St. Francis, Union,
Poinsett, Cross and Columbia. We
make these corrections because we
do not wish to create a false i'm
preston among our readers, and
then we would like for both Mr..
Campbell and Mr.. Dona9hey to get
all the glory they can out OF the
late campaign.

What did you do with your cam

This shot was fired at us about
eight years ago, just after jeff Da-
Wis had been nominated for a third
term as governor We thought at
the time that such a paragraph
was unworthy such a splendid
newspaper as the Soliphone and
such a splendid newspaper man as
Editor j. r. Taylor, and we think so
yet. But, how times do change, |
We didn't see roosters illuminating
the pages of the Soliphone after the
results of the late primary were
made known. The Soliphone waged !

Here's a thought for you as we
pass along; In the recent primaries
JEFF Davis carried White county,
the home of Mr.. Brundidge, by be-
tween two and three hundred votes.
White county has always been a
Davis stronghold, and even "rubs
it in" on a home candidate.
o
Sharp county now has the dis
tinction Of being the only Jeff Da-
Wis county in this section of the
state. Mr.. Brundidge carried ev-
erything around this county; Stone,
lizard, Baxter, Fulton, Lawrence,
Randolph, Jackson and Independ-
ence jeff ought to have a warm
spot in his bosom for Sharp county.
We guess he has,
Eight or ten years ago the pre-
diction, based on the number of
votes jeff Davis had been losing
from one campaign to another, was
made in these columns that in forty
Or fifty years Davis would be de-
feated for Office. AT this time we
do not want to amend that predic-
ton in the slightest particular. In
Mr. Brundidge Davis probably
found the hardest opposition he
will ever have to meet. Brundidge
is a polished and logical speaker
who has a splendid rn,.,,. rns,,. ,..,,a
NJ .,9Ver a, peEou OF Twelve years
in E" ytngress. In the campaign
nothing could be brought out
against Brundidge. On the other
hand Brundidee hammered Davis
record with all his vigor, which
might be compared to a pile-driver.
Yet when the votes were all in and
counted it was found that Davis
was 10000 ahead; only about 5000
less than the majority he received
over Senator Berry, However, we
are firm in the opinion that had
Davis made a joint campaign with
Brundidge over the state Brundidge
would have been the winner easily,
And we would be willing to wager
q little, if the truth could be known,
that Davis at the beginning of the
campaibn had an idea about like
that also.

CHURCH DEMANDS
SOCIAL REFORMS
South Georgia MethodistS De.
nounCe Divorces, "White
Slavery" and Other Evils.

SAVANNAH. GA, Nov. 30.-Today S
SESSION of the South Georgia Methodist
conference was enlivened by the report
of the committee on temperance and
social reforms, Rev. c., NJ. Ledbetter,
chairman, which paid it's respects to the
divorce evil, the white slave traffic and
the illegal sale of intoxicants.
The report was drastic in its recon-
mendations to church people to check
the growing tendency to divorce and
the corresponding lowering of the moral
tone Of the country, and called upon
the congress of governors and the
Southern Sociological congress to use
their influence in having a law passed
by the national congress regulating the
granting of divorces in all the states.
The report also dealt without gloves
with the traffic in girls and young
women, and held the parents in part re-
sponsible for the downfall of their
daughters because of the hesitation in
informing them of the dangers they
face. The report denounced automobile
Ing as leading in the wrong direction,
the fascination for this amusement
causing girls to go out with strange
men, 1t also denounced the acceptance
Of unknown and untried men into the
social life Of the homes.
To Accept BIackshear School.

QUITS SECOND WIFE
TO PERMIT HER TO
TAKE NEW HUSBAND

NEW YORK. Nov. 30.-Robert M. III
mer, a travelling salesman, made the
"amende honorable" in the supreme
court by testifying that he had two
wives, so that his second wife, Mrs. Eva
]. Timer, could obtain an annulment of
their marriage and marry another man.
Ulmer testified that in 1893 he mar
ried Miss Otelia Reed. After a short
married life they separated. The de-
PENDANT said he heard that Mrs. Ulner
No. had left New York. He wrote her
letters, but never received a response
Then Ulmer concluded that his wife was
dead
Ulmer became acquainted with the
young woman who appeared as the
plaintiff in 1904, when she was sixteen
years old. They were married in Ho-
boken, and lived together happily until
1903. Then one day they were out
walking when a young woman bowed
to Ulmer, Who was that woman p
asked Mrs. Timer No. 2. "Oh, that was
my first wife. l thought she was dead"
was the startling reply of Ulmer.
Mrs. Timer No. looked up Mrs. JJL
mer No. /. When she learned her statua
she sued for the annulment of her mar
riage In court she said she was al.
ready engaged to marry another man.
Ulmer said he honestly believed that
his first wife was dead, and he gave his
testimony with the understanding that
il would not be used against him in any
criminal proceeding. Justice Hendrick
granted the annulment
