SMALL VOTE CAST IN BEDDING MONDAY
Narrow Margin Victory For Re pubIicans--NO Road Supervisor For Coming Year VOted--$2O, 900 For State Roads--HaIf The Vote Remained At Home

Bedding. Oct. s-A general victory was won by the Republicans in Mon days election, the only offices cap tured by the Democrats being the as- sessorship. to which M. B. Burr was elected over Henry s. Osborn, and a majority of the board of relief. It is difficult to say which side was most surprised by the result as the Demo tcracS show no reason why they should not continue the successes of recent years and the Republicans had hardly hoped for reversal of conditions in their own favor. The six autos which the latter had in service would not seem to afford a complete explanation ' of what happened and of course there are other explanations or theories of fered as such For one thing the vote was light, there being only 222 ballots cast from a registry list of nearly 400 Then 2T of the ballots cast were re- jected and had these properly express ed the intentions of those casting them the result might have been different Again there are rumors of deals dis creditabIe to the parties alleged to have engaged in them and Furthermore the position of the se1ectmen. candf- dates on the paramount supervisor is- sue doubtless had some influence in determining the outcome. Of the four candidates two were strongly opposed to the supervisor system and the oth- CT two were seemingly on the fence
 The conspicuous surprises of the day were the election of W. H. Hill, Re- publican, as town treasurer over Sem ator L. O. Peck by a margin of four votes, and the defeat of M. Joseph Su1- Hvan. one of the Democratic candi- dates for selectman, who was two votes behind T. M. Stocking, his running mate. Zalmon Read and H. s. Barnes, Reph5Ifcans, won out by slender ma 5orities in fact, the difference between the successful and defeated candidates throughout the whole list ranged only from two to half dozen votes. Of the new board of seIectmen MT. Read ranks first Mr- Barnes second and
 dr. Stocking third. J. H. Duncan was Reelected tax collector. Of the total Republican vote of about 100, about 75 was represented by straight ballots in decided contrast with last years showing in that respect.
 As has been anticipated the business meeting in the afternoon was mainly absorbed in a discussion of the ques- tion whether the town roads should be cared for during the coming year by a supervisor or the selectmen. Here the outcome of the contest fur nished another surprise, the supervis- or system being voted down after an airing of divergent views occupying fully two hours. The result brought not only disappointment but real sor- row to the losing side as they felt That 1t meant a setback for the pro- gressive movement in the town Avhich, after many discouragements, was be- fieved to have fairly gotten under way with promise of a continuous advance.

A NeM Theory of Tidea.

The shrewd explanation of the phe- nomenon of the tides that an old South Brooklyn fisherman gave is hereby recommended to the attention of scientific men. The Brooklyn Times reports it.
 'fUncIe Joe,'' some one asked him. ''do you know what causes the tides ?"
 The old man looked profound and admitted:
 ''Waal, hev some idee."
 Explain 1t to us, please"
 Uncle Joe would not be buried, but after some urging he answered.
 You've turned over in bed, think IikelyT'
 ''Certafnly."
 And when you went over the bed clothes kind O slipped round and sloshed round and didn't get there at the same time you didT'
 ''Yes."
 'eWaal, that's the way O the tides The old world slips round inside O the sea like man under the bed clothes, and that's what makes the tides. It's easy enough after you uD derstand tt.'

should be determined by the vote of the citizens of the town. This is a radical departure from the later policy pursued by ex-Commissioner Macdon- aid, which policy he adopted after the one now favored by MT. Bennett had proven unsatisfactory.
 A resolution was adopted appointing B. H. Pinkney, John H. Jennings and Town Clerk Sanford a committee to formulate an improved system of keeping town accounts and more es- pecially to provide a more complete system of vouchers. It was also voted that the selectnen place in the saw ings bank in separate accounts the amount of the Dennison and Merchant bequests made to the town as trust funds to provide for the care of the testators' cemetery plots and mortu- ary memorials. Former boards of se- lectmen spent, as if they were ordin- ary revenues, the principal Of these trust funds.

FLOOD Of SPEED
FIEND CHARGES
STIRS CHIEF
Beavers Posts Plain Clothes Men
to Nab Drivers Who Endan-
ger Children's Lives.

Following the excitement caused by
the accident on Mills Street Wednes-
day afternoon when little Eva XII
patrick was run down by speeding
automobile and left TO her fate. Chief
Beavers is receiving complaints Of
speeding autoists from all parts Of the
city.
The strongest complaints have come
from merchants and residents along
Ponce DeLeon Avenue and Marietta
Street Autoists have turned Mari
eta Street into a speed way, the Chief
is told. and run their cars at a ter
rife rate Of speed at all hours Of the
day and night. Several accidents
narrowly have been averted, and pc
destrians who are forced to cross Ma
rietta Street are I'm constant danger.
Out on Ponce DeLeon Avenue con-
ditions, according 20 complaints. are
as bad as they are on Marietta Street.
At night, residents Of the street claim,
the automobilists who use the street
throw their muffiers wide open and
sleep is impossible.
Children Kept From Street.
Little children living on Ponce De-
Leon Avenue have been forbidden
by their parents 20 cross the street
unless their elders are with them, so
dangerous and reckless have the auto
mobile drivers become.
One complaint made to the chief
declared that an S-year-old girl mar
rowly escaped with her life only a
few days ago. The driver made no
attempt to turn his machine or avoid
running over the child. and the COM
plant declares that as he flew past
he cursed the little girl for getting
IN the road.
Chief Beavers, following the re-
ceipt Of the complaints, started a
vigorous campaign that Il Is hoped
will end in the arrest and punish
ment Of the speeding autoists. Ev-
cry policeman on the force has been
instructed 10 watch carefully for
speeders, and also ordered to enforce
all the automobile regulations strictly.
Police Put on Watch.
Plainclothes men will be sent to
the various portions OF the city that
have become known as haunts Of the
speed maniac, and nothing viii be left
undone to break up the practice that
has made the streets OF Atlanta "a
source Of danger 70 all who venture
upon them.
Chief Beavers also has started a
thorough inquiry into the accident
which nearly cost Eva Fitzpatrick her
life and IL the autoist who nan down
the little girl and then fed is cap
tured, an example will be made OF
him. The investigation has been
placed In the hands Of Captain
Poole, and a squad OF men have been
detailed TO act under his orders, Ev-
cry person In the neighborhood OF the
accident who could have seen the car
