Listen. to 0dr Rooster Crow!

1t was not a landslide; it was
an avalanch. The vote Tuesday
in Morgan showsthat not onlyis
this county safely democratic, but
loyalty to her own sons is a pre-
dominating trait of her citizens.
Charley Arnett ran many hun
dred ahead of the county ticket
because Morgan county republi-
cans voted for him in preference
to republican away from here.
The big republican vote that Mr..
Arnett received is a fine tribute
to his manhood.
The republican fight in this
county was centered principally
upon the Judges race, and a
strenuous attempt was made to
land their candidate, Mr.. L. B.
Reed. But "Sam"Dennis proved
that he was some sprinter and
ran away from him and beat him
to the tune of GA majority.
The county attorneys and
jailer's races were the only ones
contested and Mr.. S. M. R. Hurt
defeated B. j. Elam by major
ity of 76S, for the former office,
and Hezakiah Combs, from the
Long Fork of Buckhorn, can.
tered gaily off from Jesse Blair
to the tune of LOGS majority
The other democratic county
nominees had no opposition.
In the town A. w. Smith de.
feated W. G. Short for police

Franklin was elected marshal
over D. c. Lewis by so majority
M. T. Womack, w, H. Wheeler,
T. B. Sturdivent, H. G. Cottle
Jas. M. Elam were elected trus,

Following is the vote Of tn,
county in the several races;
Arnett, 1,942, Mahaffey, S91
Arnett's majority, Ill; Dennis
1852, Reed, $50, Dennis major

Arg-Strelitz, is the lucky man.
Grand Duchess Augusta OF Mecklen-
burg-strelitz, sister Of the late
Duchess of Teok, and consequently an
aunt of Queen Mary, is said to be re-
sponsible for the royal match, for
there are matchmakers In royalty as
well as among ordinary non-titled folk.
At present the direct line of the
grand ducal family Of Meckienburg-
strelitz is in danger Of dying out. That
is one reason why Grand Duchess Au-
gusta is soeanxious for the young peo-
pie to marry. II this match succeeds

her ability as real matchmaker. She

MORGAN GOES WILD FOR ARNETT
School Notes.
By Arnold Il. Web.

/
various departments were agree
ably surprised to receive an in
vitation from the Advanced Club
to attend its meeting and listen
to its first program. The meet
ing was presided over by its
yice-president, Byron Cisco, in
the absence of its president,
Bruce Reed. The program con-
sisted of readings by Misses Lo-
ladel Cottle and Sally Webb, a
funny paper by Miss Orange
Oakley, class prophesy by Miss
Mabel Thompson, and a debate,
the participants in which were
Messrs. Byron Cisco, Willie Joe
Oakley, Roy Potter and Miss
Sylvania Combs. Although it
could be easily told that it was
the first program, yet there was
in it that which speaks well for
the future of the club, and for
the future of the members of
the same. A reading was also
given by Jesse Franklin. The
hour was spent pleasantly by all
and we will appreciate an invita-
tion in the future.
From the reports coming in
we gather that we are to have
one of the biggest Normals in
the history of the school. 1t
seems that a sense of patriotism
and loyalty to home institutions
is awakening. The people OF
Morgan county are realizing that
the Normal Department was es-
tablished, not as a money max
ling Institution or to, ,shelp the
Graded and High School, for il
is neither. 1t was established
for the purpose of meeting the
needs of the boys and girls who
find it necessary to teach before
they can complete their educa.
ton. To meet these needs, they
have provided for both a State
and County Certificate course
In both these courses the student
if he does his or her duty, will
be able to pass either of these
examinations. The tuition il
less by nearly half than in an!
other reputable institution, ant
board will be as cheap as the cit
liens of the town can possibl!
afford for wholesome food.
Such being the case, | believ,
that the teachers and parents O
Morgan county will rally to tn,
support of their school, and lie
their watchword be: Morgan
county schools for Morgan coun
} ty boys and girls so long as the,
are as good as the schools else
where, and when they fail t
} come up to the standard we wi
make them good"
There is no reason why MOI
, gan county schools, both tow
!, and county, should not be a
; good as any. We have as goo
. material as there is anywhere
and why should it not have

Entire Democratic County Ticket Wins
By Majorities Ranging from
500 to 800

majority, so Arnett is elected by
at least $50 majority.
The election passed off quietly
all over the county except at
Painters Branch where there
was a fight, the account of which
is given elsewhere.
Aside from the personal popu-
larity of the winners, much of
the credit of the great victory is
due to campaign chairman Frank
Kenniard. His splendid powers
of organizing left nothing un-
done in getting out the'votes, and
there was perfect harmony in
the party and among the workers
under him. The position was.

Nearly 1900 Majority at Home!


Once upon a summers evening,
AS the sun sank in the west,
| was treading gaily onward,
But my heart vas not at rest.
For upon the distant corner
Of ourlittle court house square,
| beheld a youth Of twenty,
Lovely, pure, cultured, fair.
Years ago it waslI met him,
We were neighbors and twas
said
That seemed to 1--we each other,
And twas likely we should wed
And as time wore on our friend
ship
Seemed to stronger grow, and
We became devoted sweethearts,
This was in hemonth of June.
Darling-I can't help but tell it
That young man met was you,
And my hearts well nigh broken
For you do not love me true.
Seated by your side one evening,
| recall your tender smile,
And your face Of love and plead
ing,
That had blessed me for awhile.
| remember that you asked me
II I'd be forevssrue
Near as woman could be faithful
Would / be that true to you.
So / promised, and that evening,
When | lay me down to rest,
| thanked God that in His mercy
| had been so wholely blest.
For awhile earth seemed a heaven
Sunshine decked my way
through life,
And all my dreams and golden
fancies -
Promised | should be your wife.
But at length my hopes were
shattered,
Fairer maidens came your
way;
And you left the heart thai
loved you
That with others you NIGH
stay.
Sorrow was my daily comrade,
Grief and l walked hand il
hand;
; And | prayed for strength anC
courage,
Prayed as only woman can.
Do not tell me you are sorry;
Go and wander fancy free;
!, Living life without a sorrow,
, And without a thought of me.
Retribution always cometh
! Soon or later, it is said
5 And the heart that pains anoth
e Must some day suffer in it
t stead.
All love! may your heart be nev
er
Tortured with such grief a
3 mine;
Y May God in His love and mercy
] Guard that tender heart Q
: thine.
: Fare you we'll now, | must leav
you,
Though my heart bids me I
stay,
Pride directs me on and onwar
Bids me turn from you away,
Love is dear when tits accepted
. When neglected, bitter pain;
g When tits sought it answer
II freely,
When unsought must dun
remain.

Atlanta, May 20.--The northern
Southern and United Presbyterian as
semblies today considered denomina-
tional matters. and it appears likely
that nothing further will be accom-
plished toward an organic union of
all branches of Presbyterianism un-
til the 1914 assemblies. In all three
assemblies today recommendations
urging Presbyterians to make a spe-
cial study of the negro problem, were
made by the committee from the
Council OF Federated Churches in
America. The Northern presbyter-
ians discussed resumption of the
relation with the Union
Theological seminary. The beliefs OF
the semniary's faculty were again
attacked. The Southern Presbyter-
lans discussed the proposed statement

His Great Achievement.

OF Mr. Flagler's achievement in
building the Oversee railroad, which
has drawn worldwide attention to
Florida, it has well been said that
at first engineers and capitalists
stood aghast. The light that showed
him the way to Key West dazzled the
brightest and appalled, the strongest
intellects. Who can describe the con-
struction? Why attempt it? The won
dcrful aqueducts at Segovia the Por-
ia Maggiore, the Aqua Claudia, the

Where the Romans built one arch,

crossed streams, he bridged arms of
the ocean; where they went over
valleys, he covered surging waters;
where they encountered hills, he
found channels; where they met with
barriers, he came to quicksands;
where the precipice halted them, the

Obstacles that barred their way they
