CITY ELECTION.
AN UNDERGROUND CAMPAIGN
CAUSES SOME SURPRISES.
MAYOR HAGERTHY WILL PRESIDE
OVER A DEMOCRATIC BOARD FOR
THE FIRST TIME.

The municipal election in Ellsworth
last Monday resulted in some surprises.
1t was an underground campaign, and up
to the middle OF last week there were
scarcely any surface indications of the
force at work beneath. The silent vote
figured large in the final results. The vote
was surprisingly large for stormy day.
DR.. Hsgerthy won out in the contest for
mayor by plurality OF seventeen, accord
republican nominees for aldermen went
down to defeat, and for the first time in
six years in the mayors chair, DR.. Hager-
thy will preside over democratic board.
Election to the Office Of mayor for sixth
term is, by the way, an honor never be-
fore conferred by the voters Of Ellsworth
upon either republican or democrat.
Howard B. Moor, the republican alder
man from ward 5, carried of the republic
can honors, winning out by plurality Of
50, though Owen Ii. Treworgy, in ward 8,
with no opponent, had "a votes.
For the first time under the amended
city charter, the street commissioner was
elected by popular vote. The contest be-
tween Fred b. Marden, republican, the
present street commissioner, and Joseph
Morrison, democrat, was close and hard
fought. The official returns give Mr..
Marden plurality Oft.
Owing to the closeness Of the vote for
street commissioner, an inspection of the
ballots was asked for yesterday. J. f.
hnowlton represented Mr.. Marden, and
D. E. Hurley represented Mr.. Morrison.
The ballots agreed upon gave Mr.. Marden
plurality of 8, with 16 ballots in dispute.
Mr.. Morrison will petition the supreme
court for recount.
Following is the vote OF the city in de-
tail from the official returns, with the vote
for mayor in 1918 for comparison:

PRINCETON CAPTAIN
 sPkUNG BIG SURPRISE.
Wrested intercollegiate Tennis Title
 from R. Norris Williams.

Philadelphia, Sept. 1S.-George M. Church, captain of the Princeton ten- his team and state champion of Dela- ware, surprised the tennis world today by wrestling the intercollegiate cham pioiaship from R. Norris Williams, 2d, the title holder and national cham uion.
 Church defeated Williams three sets out of four in the final match of the 34th annual tournament of the inter collegiate lawn tennis association play ed on the courts of the Merton Cricket club at Haverford. One of the largest crowds that ever witnessed a tennis struggle in the vicinity of Philadelphia saw the Davis cup player go down to defeat by the scores of 3-6, 9-7. As and 7-5.
 It was thrilling battle from start to finish. save in the third set, when, as he was obviously very tired, Church outplayed and outwitted Williams. He met the national champions swift cross court returns with lob after lob, all perfectly executed. the ball landing al ways within an inch or so of the back line, giving the Princeton captain a chance to get up to the net and 'kill' Williams belated returns.
 Williams appeared stale, was wild, and lacked entirely the fire and dash ing speed that won him the national title, from Maurice F. Mclaughlin at Newport last month. Churchs ser vice was deadly in it's effectiveness and he seemed to divine Williams next move with unerring accuracy.

MISS RosENTHAL
 WON CLOSE MATCH.
Mrs. Ronald H. Barlow Lost Nerve
 Hacking Contest.

Glen Cove, N. Y, Sept. 18.-In the most exciting match of the weeks play for the women's national golf cham pionship on the Nassau Country clubs links Miss Elaine V. Rosenthal of Chi cago defeated Mrs. Ronald H. Barlow, champion of the Philadelphia district, by up today. A missed putt of scarcely three feet at the home hole by Mrs. Barlow lost her the match af- ter a nerve-racking round.
 Both were even at the turn, but playing the 10th the Chicago girl sent her tee shot into a sandpit. She gave up the hole after taking three shots to get out of the trouble. On the next Mrs. Barlow pulled out of bounds from the tee and the match was all square. They seesawed for the lead up to the 17th, when they were all even again.
 Each took three to get to the edge of the home green. and Miss Rosenthal laid her approach putt dead, while Mrs. Barlow's fourth overran the cup by nearly three feet She missed the short putt for half in five and lost the hole six to five and the match, one down.

The Old Blue Back.

The Philadelphia Record confesses
that personally it has no acqualnt-
ance with the Blue Back Speller,
which has just been ordered restored
to the public schools in the State of
Georgia. The Record cannot under
stand why the action Of the Legisla-
ture in regard to the speller should
be hailed with such manifest delight.
Having confessed its ignorance of
the book, the surprise Of The Record
may be understood. In the days Of
Calhoun and other Southern states
men who made marks as scholars,
the Blue Back was the standard au-
thority in all the schools. In the
undermining of the educational sys-
tenn it was relegated to the back
ground as old-fashioned and there
fore back-number. 1t soon began
to be observed that the men and
women turned out from the colleges
were universally poor spoilers, and
some Of the States which made an
investigation came to the conclusion
that the abandonment Of the Blue
Black was largely responsible for it
By degrees the Blue Back has beer
restored in the public schools, but
Georgia was first to make it State
wide at che full swoop. In conse
quence a new race Of good spoilers
is springlng up. They may make
fun of the Blue Back advocates, bu
when it comes to the spelling be-
their class is always OF top.-Char

Harvesting Time Here.

Many farmers in this section will
begin pulling fodder" during this
week, and before this work is COM
pleted the work of "picking cotton"
will begin. Already those who have
engaged in the culture of tobacco
have been curing it. Heretofore
there has been but little tobacco
raised in this section, but this year
there is quite a sprinkling Of the
weed throughout Halifax county.
and a fine crop has been raised.
Together with the time for pulling
fodder and picking cotton" comes
the time for digging peanuts" and
within a very short time the brief
respite from farm work will have
been past and the farmers will be
''at war" in an effort to harvest the
bumper crop with which they have
been blessed this year.

ReCord-Bfeaking Month.

The vital statistics law has already
passed the fondest expectations of
its advocates and supporters. For
the month of June there were turn
ed in to the State board of health
1O,28S certificates of births and
deaths. TIE month Of May was also
a record breaker, 1858 certificates
being collected that month against
1887 for April, 1903 for March and
4,847 for February.
These figures tell better than words
how our people are taking hold Of
the new law, which means that they
will no longer be born into this world
and die like SO many horses or cattle
without so much as an official record
Of their entrance or exit.
These official records will be worth
many times their cost in straighten-
ing out legal entanglements regard
ing descent, age, inheritance and
various legal rights to say nothing
about their value from statistical
and public health points of view.

Rats Attack Sleeping Man

Junction City, Kan, Aug. 10Th
James Foreman, Of this city is in a
dangerous condition as a result of a
battle with dozen large rats which
invaded his bedroom and attacked
him as he lay asleep. He woke up
when a rat bit nim on the cheek and
brushed It awzs with his hand. The
rats sprang at him again, biting him
on the breast. Foreman aroused the
members Of his family, who entered
his room with lamp and found IL
huge rats on the bed and floor.
The rats attacked the other men,
bers of the family and upset the
lamp, setting the room on fire. The
flames were extinguished and the
fight continued in the darkness un-
til five Of the rats had been killed
and the others driven from the
room. Foremak was bitten repeat
edly and his body is swollen as a re-
result of the wounds. 1t is feared
that the rats were suffering from
bydrophobia
