night that her husband, from whom
she had been estranged only short

the city with him. Working with
clues, furnished by Mrs. Hardy, the

on a train which pulled out from the

Even Kedron showed a decreased
majority for the regulars.
Not only did the legislative ticket
have an overwhelming majority, but
Hooper carried the county by ma
jority Of more than $50. This was
one of the biggest surprises Of the
day. The supporters of the temper
ance ticket had not expected ma
jority in this county for Hooper. On
the other hand they we're willing to
admit that McMillin would probably
do az well as Taylor sxo years ago
when the latter carried the county
by 294. But the victory for temper
ance and good government was so
emphatic and the protest against Pat
tersonism and Dibrell so pronounced
that McMillin, their puppet and rep
resentative, was defeated in the coun-
ty. Hooper carried precincts that
were conceded to McMillin by pro-
nounced majorities. He carried the
first, third, fifth, sixth, seventh,

crowd began to congregate about the
bulletin boards and the Office was
soon filled with an expectant throng
impatiently awaiting the first news
from the country precincts.
Southport, in the sixth district. was
the first precinct to send in a report.
The box showed decided gain over
the vote Of two years ago for the
good government ticket. McMlllln's
majority was, however, the same as
that given Taylor in l910, SO that no
mixing was given of the landslide
for the temperance ticket which
would take Hooper safely across the
county by substantial majority.
Rally Hill, in the third district, was
the second box to report. 1t gave in
creased evidence of the victory for
the temperance ticket and the sup
porters of Church, Long and Denton
became enthusiastic. When Neeapo-
lis reported a few moments later
with majority for Hooper and the
entire anti-Patterson ticket the re-
suit was no longer in doubt, the only
question being the size of the maiori-
ties.
With the exception Of Carriers

ticket showed big gains over the vote
