WOMBLE DOES NOT
 CONCEOE DEFEAT
Declares It Will Win County Seat If Errors in Election are Eliminated. - Says WombIe Would Win by Safe Margin.

.Womble, Sept. -Womble does not admit defeat in Wednesdays county seat removal election. That 219 elec- tors in Bear, Washita and Crystal Springs townships were not allowed to vote, and that, through celrical errors the complete list of voters contained more than score of names which should have been eliminated are Womble's chief contentious.
 In the 21 townships in which elec- tions were held there were 2,076 voters according to the 1915 list of per capi- ta taxpayers. In these 21 townships Womble received 1,124 votes, or S6 more than a majority. In the re- maining three townships there are 219 electors who had no opportunity to vote, it is said. Although no election was held in these three townships Womble is only P short, according to the unofficial reports, of majority of the entire voters list, which includ-
  sons who died before taxpaying time or who are residents of other counties and whose names have been, through clerical errors, allowed to remain in the list of voters.
 It is Womble's contention that if these names were stricken from the list, Womble would be winner by a safe margin, even though the 219 electors were disfranchised by the refusal or failure of the election off, cers to allow them to vote.
 In consideration of Act 46, Acts of 1913, which prevents the collector from collecting the poll tax from per sons who have died since the assess ments were made, several names should be stricken from the list, they assert. But if the ocurt will not do this, then Womble believes that a special election should be held in the three townships which were not in cluded in Wednesdays election. If this is done, there can be no question, Womble people believe, that Womble will win by substantial majority, as 1 it needs only % votes out of 219.
 As indicating the temper of the peo- pie at election, the returns from nine townships show the remarkable fact that of 572 electors in them, Wom- ble received 565 votes and Mt. Ida 5. In six of these townships, Mount Ida received no votes.
 That the returns show that Womble was exceedingly strong in the south side of the county, the east end and west end, and ran away with the cleo tion except in the townships where changes had been made by the county election commissioners in the election judges or where the influence of Mount Ida was effective in preventing any election is Wombles claim.

Wholesome Garlic.

The odorous garlic usually frowned

country is not such bad sort after

faculty common to other strong ma
lures of making with itself friends

part of the food of the Israelites in

I'VE remember the fish which we did

10000 Men
Needed To Move
Great Wheat Crop

Omaha, Neb., May 31-Fully 49,
600 men are wanted by the National
Farmers Exchange, which has head
quarters here, for the harvesting or
the big wheat crop, which begins in
a few weeks.
Beginning in southern Oklahoma
early in June. the wheat harvest
comes with a rush when it starts. 1t
rapidly moved northward, passing
through Nebraska about the third
week in July and ending in northern
Minnesota just in time to escape the
early frosts. The army OF temporary
workers is being organized intelli-
gently this year, with a view to put
ting the men at the right spot where
they are needed, and distributing
them to meet all demands.
The crop promises to exceed las'
years bumper. The acreage in Ne
brsska has increased some 100000
acres in wheat. and in Nebraska
alone not less than $4,000, 900 bush

Modern Highways
Greatly Reduce
Hauling Cost

The Bureau of Crop Estimates of
the Agricultural Department at
Washington has been giving a care
full study to this question of hauls
over country roads to the markets.
1t finds that the average haul to
market from the farm is 6.5 miles;
that the average round trips per day
is 81 or little over one-half day
for each trip to market.
Using cotton as basis the average
cost per day for hauling is given at
$3.50, and the quantity hauled is
5000 pounds per day.
Getting down to Florida we find
| that our states does not come up to
the average. The average distance
of the haul is miles; the number
of round trips per day, 10; the
average load is 1,15O pounds or ALAG
pounds per day haul. This condition
materially increases the expense of
marketing Florida's products. AS
the figures are based on 1915 data
differences may be drawn on which
to base an estimate of the cost OF
marketing on our unimproved roads.
What that difference is may be
guessed at near enough to justify the
demand for improved roads at al.
