GOOD NEWS
STORY LOST
Regarding One "Whirta" and His
DOings in Old Mexico.

Waycross, Ga, Oct. 16.-(SpecialJ
"A good newspaper story was lost
last night when Chairman C. E. Dunn
of the city democratic executive
committee, failed to put motion
made by Col. John w. Bennett. Hal
the motion been put it would have
carried. Result: Most probably ev.
cry paper in the United States would
have carried the short resolution
verbatim, attractively done up on P1
means page one-in a box
border, or something similar.
But it's still a good story locally;
good enough for the state, and for
the continental contry, for that MAJ
ter 1t has to deal with Victorino
Huerta. The resolution is:
Resolved, That the president Of
the United States be requested to in
tervene in Mexico and put the usurp-
er out of business"
Resolutions were coming thick and
fast, parliamentary law was being
delved into, with adjournment in
sight and liable to materialize at any
moment, and so the motion was never
put by the chair.

The election tomorrow will probably
be very quiet one and the vote will
not be large. There has not been the
usual amount of contention in this cam
paign. The candidates have been work
ing very hard, but have refrained from
personalities more than usual. The re-
suit will be very fair expression and
an uneventful day. Considerable
amount OF speculation as to the result
has been made It is said that one or
probably two Of the races will be close.
Anyhow, there are none OF the candi-

good vote, and so will end the contest

out, writes A. G. Benson In the Cen

Of neighbors present, and Wordsworth
stood for long time at the window
contemplating the beautiful landscape
outside. Then he turned to the party
and said:
Miss Martineau, congratulate you
on your beautiful little domain. The
views are wonderful, and it will turn
out to be the wisest thing you ever did
in your life."
He paused for a moment, and the
guests expected some comment on the
uplifting effects of communion with
nature, but Wordsworth, with a fine
gesture, continued:

trebled in value within the next ten
yearsi"
