How 1t Happened.
Irene, the family beauty, went
To Newport with her mother.
While Cinderella stayed at home
With her papa and brother.
Irene her dazzling charms displayed
AT picnic, hop and ball
She wore the latest gowns-her form
Was statuesque and tall.
She had admirers by the score;
They we're fervent band;
But all of those her mother chose
Forgot to ask her hand.
No time to grieve did Ella have,
Though she was left behind;
Her father brought associates.
Her brother brought his kind.
She soothed their souls with cooling
| drinks;
Her food was good to eat
She laughed and joked and sang and
played
Till they forgot the heat
Three millionaires proposed to her,
With others not so rich:
She knew that one of them she loved
But couldn't make out which.
When frost appeared Irene returned
Alas She wore no ring
But in November Ella wed
a widower copper king.
Although We may not quite see how
All things are for the best;
Irene is going to Newport now
} AS Cinderella's guest.

Vote Buying in Georgia.

Madison, Ga, Sept. 9.-Twelvc
men were indicted by tho grand
jury OF Morgan county Superior
Court to-day on the charge of having
bought and sold votes at the county
primary held last May.
Their names were not announced,
but 1T is said that majority of them
live in the Buckhead, Wellington
and Fair Play districts.
Fifty or more additional indict-
ments are expected to follow. A
number Of the most wealthy and
prominent men OF the county are i'm
plicated, and will be numbered
among those who are indicted, it Is
believed.
The grand jury has been in session
since last Thursday, making a search
ing investigation OF the methods
used in conducting the primary last
May.
Those who were defeated in this
primary openly charged that the sue
cessful candidates formed a pool,
each putting in so much money, which
they distributed throughout the
county to district heelers, who in
turn bought up the voters.

y From the above figures the indica-
tions are that
Nj. II. Mcdonald and Frank II.
Shirley are safely elected as men,
bers of the House OF Representa-
tives.
r. Henry Alexander elected Treas
urer.
w. G. Fostcr elected Supervisor.
Whit Knox elected Coroner.
w. II. Hunt and II. G. Walker
elected County Commissioners.
w II. Crawford elected Supervisor
Of Registration.
Indications are that John w. Da-
Wis is elected Sheriff by Il small ma
jority, the totals showing that he
leads w. Nj. Kay by ~ votes. Three
ecincts--Jocassee, Tamassec and
Damascus-are to be heard from.
These three pOllcd SO votes in the
first primary, and allowing go votes
for this time (Which Is about the
proportionate falling off between the
two primaries) there Is no hope for
Mr.. Kay to overcome this lead.
These are the indications rs we
see them, but, as stated above, the
figures from which these indications
arc made up are not guaranteed rs
absolutely correct, nor are they Ohi-
Ciui.

helping to hide the body Of young
white woman several days ago after
she had been assaulted, was shot to

MIR. MILLER, NOT MIR. TOAiPIiINs.
Error Crpt Into Official Declaration
OF County Executive Com. .ttce,

Until Thursday of last week it was
generally supposed that the name Of
j. B. Tompkins, candidate for County
commissioner, would appear on the
election tickets for the second pri-
mary AS matter Of fact, his name
was printed on a full set Of tickets,
which were destroyed so soon as the
error was noticed.
Mr.. Tompkins received G63 votes
In the first primary, and Jackson l..
Miller received G91, but in making
up the official declaration Of results
this fact was not observed, and Mr..
Tompkins was declared in tho race,
as 1t was thought his was the fourth
highest vote. AS soon as the atten-
tion or Chairman Jas. NJ. Moss was
called to the error no had all of the
hrst tickets (nOne Of which had been
sent out) destroyed, and new ones
with MIR. Miller's name were printed.
the members of the Executive
Committee, tho County Chairman
and all concerned deeply regret the
error, but 1t was ono Of those things
mat Will happen, and no one Is to
Dlame. IT was simply an error, by
oversight, that could not be helped.
every possible means OF notifying
the public was taken ADVANTAGE of,
circulars being printed and distrib-
uted, and a small bunch Of these sent
out with each batch Of tickets.

WILL EVAT'T, sON-OF-A-GUN.
"Stole Mule and Away He Rum
Captured In Georgia.


Last Thursday night Will Evatt,
colored. II years of age, stole a mule
from the county poor farm, riding
the animal for SO miles without
stopping long enough to feed or wa
ter it. Steward Cobb heard the mule
being taken from the stable and as
1t left the place, but thought that
one Of his sons, who had spoken Of
using one Of the county animals for
the purpose Of going to protracted
services at Pleasant Hill, was doing
so; but later the lad appeared in
the home and 1t was discovered that
he had not been to the stable at all.
Mr.: Cobb's suspicious were aroused
and he began to Investigate.
A negro, Will Evatt, had been
around during the day trying to hire
to Mr.. Cobb, and diligent search fail
cd to bring any evidence as to
EVatts whereabouts. Steward Cobb
put two and two together, carried
the intricate sum over to his adding
machine, which showed that the an
swer was undoubtedly that Eyatt
mad stolen the mule. Without wait
Ing for the services Of an expert ac-
countant to verify the correctness OF
the figures and the answer to the
intricate Sum-" he hitched q good
traveller to buggy and started In
pursuit.
The negro had already considera-
Bile lead on him, and Mr.. Cobb was
forced to keep close tab on the
mule tracks that led from the Door
farm stable, so his progress was
much slower than Evatt's. How
ever. Sheriff Warnsley, of Carnes-
vile, ran across a negro with q good
looking mule, said negro being en-
gagged diligently in efforts to dispose
of the Balaam at prices ranging from
$l50 down to SOS. He also began
to "hgger' bit, and his total to
the intricate work of putting two
and two together was the same as
Steward Cobb's-that Is, "nigger you
stole that mule" SO he placed him
under arrest, and a few hours later
steward Cobb rode up, having traced
the mule closely and carefully, and
having missed nary a turn in the
road that Mr.. Mule Thief had taken
11satt and the mule were promptly

and the negro in the county iail Sat-
urday evening. The mule was not
seriously hurt, but suffered some
from hard drying and short rations.
Several years ago Evatt "worked
with Steward Cobb for 80 days"
having been sent UP for that length
OF time, for stealing shotgun. He
vas committed then by Magistrate
singleton, of the Taber section Of
Oconee.
1t Is probable that he will answer
TO several charges this time, the
mules condition giving evidence
that, beside the charge of theft.
charge of cruelty to animals would
lie in court-that is, of course, pro-
Vided Evatt cannot lie out Of it.
