The Election.

The election Saturday in
Craighead county and through
out the state was wholesome evil
dence that the people are tired
of elections and have lost inter-
est in them. A few workers
store their shirts for Hays in
this county, and a few more did
likewise for Brundidge, but the
people did not seem to care who
was elected and less than one
third of the normal vote was
polled. From the returns it was
clearly evident that even though
a full vote had been cast there
would be but little difference in
the result. There were num-
Der of precincts in the east end
Of the county that were strong
for Brundidge and would have
cast a good majority for him had
they voted, but it is likewise
true that some of the other see
tons would have given Hays a
majority. The principal work
ers for the Hays cause were a
few enthusiastic Farmers In
ion men, and some members of
the Baptist church, but it is
doubtful if a single vote was
changed on either side due to
these supporters in the field.
Back of it all lies the fact that
Hays was a jeff Davis support
er and Brundidge made the race
against Davis. Men cast their
ballots in this county on this is
sue mainly, and as this has al
ways been a strong jeff Davis
county Hays had a shade the
best of the fight. This is true
largely all over the state. We
have talked to men who never
saw Hays and never heard Of
him until April--cared nothing
about his ability or previous
condition of servitude-but
they heard he voted for Davis
and they cast their votes accord
ingly.- Jonesboro Tribune.

Plot Did Not Work

A motion picture plot, to show q
crank attempting to reach President
Taft, was nipped in the bud at the
White House recently. A squad of pic
ture men walked into the White House
grounds, accompanied by venerable
looking individual with a long white
beard. They set up their apparatus
In front Of the main entrance of the
White House and the white bearded
stranger started up the steps.
Policemen on guard interviewed be-
fore the picture men could begin
business. The operators explained
that they were seeking to get atreaI.
istic exhibition of crank tryinx to
enter the White House. The actor
would have been turned back at tho
door and the picture machine would
have taken in the interesting pro-
ceedings following his attempts to get
into the White House The picture
men pleaded that the play be allowed
to continue, but the White House au.
thorities refused.

me to do, and you are henceforth to

He seemed dazed.
"I do not" she continued, turning
aside, desire to have dead person
In the house. and If you do not go

Then the dreadful situation in which
his own precipitate folly had placed
him was revealed, and he removed
himself with promptness and dispatch.

PORCELAIN DUE TO ACCIDENT
How the Process Of Enane'ing Was
Discovered by Chinese Workers
About 2O6 8. C.

Near the year 206 B. c., In the be-
ginning OF the dynasty Of Han. some
workers in earthenware set their pots
IN the oven to bake, and forgot them
When they remembered them and
opened the oven doors they found that
the pots were vitrified In shining
spots. In this way the enameling OF
porcelain was discovered. When
freed of its dross the substance grew
lighter. become clear. and acquired
a grain as fine and smooth as vel
vet and a thin. hard, translucent body
that rang like a bell.
The art OF monochromatic glazing
was discovered in the time Of the
dynasty of Sung (960-1280 B. CO..
Occasionally the action Of the flre sep
arated the pigments and produced ex-
cessive richness Of color. The Mon
gol invasion checked the progress Of
ceramic art In 1868 Tai-Tsu, the
son of a day laborer, dethroned the
emperor and founded the dynasty Of
Ming, whose reign persisted until
1914. Tai-Tsu lost no time in restor-
ing the imperial manufactures. He
gave the national mandatory the
monopoly of the work in porcelain, ex-
cepting nothing but the white pottery
manufactured by the artisans OF
Tehua. Under the new impetus all
the ancient methods were revived and
perfected The system of three-color
and five-color decoration. after a pre-
liminary firing, dates from the re-
naissance of art under the Ming dy-
nasty Weekly.

about half of the vote cast IN
the state, and scores Of precincts
holding no election at all, the
race for governor is still unset
Judge Hays friends are Jubi-
liant over the situation, claiming
that the Camden jurist has won
by majority of 5000 to 5000,
although unofficial figures made
by the local newspapers have
been cutting down his lead from
nearly 1000 to begin with to
about 300 Monday afternoon,
with the prospect of swinging
over to the Brundidge column
by Tuesday. This condition is
due to the fact that the strong
HAYS counties had all come in
early, while several of the strong
Brundidge counties were de-
layed. lizard, with a reported
, Brundidge majority of 800, ana
Phillips, which was known to
have gone for Brundidge by l.
500 or more, could not be secur-
ed definitely. Union county,
however, which at first gave
Hays a majority of about l.
500, came in Monday afternoon
with a reduction of over 800. All
the reports during the day have
been gradually whiting down
the Hays lead.
81 am sure that my friend
the northern and eastern parts
of the state have done their duty
by me-" declared Col. Brundidge,
land l expect to win by a large
sized majority"
The people, so far as the re-
turns have been received, have
seen fit to elect me, and l bow
to their WILL" said Judge Hays.
The distinguishing features of
the election have been the small
vote and slow returns, consider
ing that the ticket is the sho'
est ever votedat a state election,
in most of the counties there be-
ing only the two names on it..
In many counties there were nu-
merous townships that held no
election, and it is reported that
in one township in western
county, the judges delivered the
box at the county seat ~
reporting that there was no use
in keeping the election open all
day, for everyone in the town.
ship, 81 in all, had voted.
AS the result is deferred from
day to day, the talk of a possible
contest becomes stronger. In
the event the majority for either
candidate is not more than a
thousand, it is generally be-
lieved that there will be a con-
test.
And if there should be con-
test, an interesting condition is
liable to arise which some have
not taken into consideration.
Under the law, the county GEN.
trail committees will meet this
week, most of them on Saturday,
to canvass the returns, which
will be made to the state central
committee. That body must
canvass the returns not later
than twenty days before the e.
lection, which would be July 3,
and the nominee must be certi-
fled out by the secretary of
state to the county election COM
miSsioners. not later than July
is.
Should contest be started,
with the necessary taking of
testimony and all the machinery
of an election contest, it would
be a physical impossibility tc
complete it in time to certify the
nominee within the required
time.
