More Than 3,4O0 Votes Polled in
County Primary. Hunt and

According to unofficial, but
practically correct, reports from

Rev. D. T. Spaulding was nomi-
mated for County Judge in the
Democratic primary Saturday by
605 majority over J. L. Clenden-

SCISSOR by 482. Sheriff T. M.
Hagler was renominated without
opposition. Twenty-three out of
Twenty-six precincts gave him a
complimentary vote of 2,6l7.
The primary went off in a
quiet way and no disturbances at
the polls were reported, although
interest was at a fever heat and
more than 3,400 votes were
polled.
All of the candidates for Trus.
tee, with the exception of "Uncle
John" Hunt, spent the day in
the First distric: Saturday and
the friends of each were ac-
tive here. However, Dinwiddie
was an easy winner in this pre-
cinct, receiving 281 to SO for
Byron Looney, his nearest oppo-

ing in his behalf, Culpepper re-
ceived a plurality for Tax As
SCISSOR in the First district.
For County Judge Spaulding
carried the First by 207 votes
and won in twenty of the pre-
cincts in the county. Clenden-
ms home precinct, the old Six
teenth, gave him a splendid ma
jority and he received a good
vote in many other precincts, al
though he could not overcome
the heavy SpauIding vote in the
First, Second. Fourteenth,
Twenty sixth and other precincts.
According to unofficial returns
Mr.. Hunt got in the run-off by
only 40 votes, Albert A. Grubbs,
of Puryear, running him a close
race for second place in the
county.
The run-off between Jackson
and Hunt for Trustee and Cul-.
pepper and McSwain for Tax
Assessor will be held November
6, and a large vote is expected.
All of the candidates express
confidence in the result of the
run-of and it looks like ''hoss
race" in both of the contests.
The same officers, judges and
clerks who were appointed to
hold the primary Saturday in
each precinct will hold the run
off.

RattIe az Alma.

Sixty years ago soldiers Of Britain
and France, fighting side by side,
achieved one of the most brilliant vic
tories in the annals of war. Never
has the valiant fighting spirit of the
British troops been better shown than
when, on September 20, 1854, they
waded through the River Alma,
amidst shower of bullets, fought
their way up the precipitous banks on
the other side of the river and, hav-
ing burst through the dense under
growth of vineyards, drove back the
Russians, who were led by Prince
Menschikoff.
The British troops we're led by Lord
Raglan and the French by Marshal
st. Arnaud. Three thousand three
hundred of the allies were killed and
wounded, heavy loss when one con-
siders that the British forces num-
bered only about twenty-seven thou
sand and the French thirty thousand.

NEW INDUSTRY FOR AMERICA
Plant That VIII Manufacture Gum

BUILD JAW OF SILVER WIRE
Philadelphia Surgeon Suggests Opera
ton That viii Replace Loss Of
Bone.

Surgeons and medical students at
tending Jefferson Medical College and
Hospital discussed with great interest
a remarkable operation suggested by
a leading surgeon at clinic on
Wednesday in which an artificial Jaw,
made of silver wire, shall take the
place of one whose entire removal is
made necessary because Of infection
or death to the bone
Removal of the jaw sometimes is
necessary If the life OF patient is TO
be saved. 1t always results in great
Disagreement, as well as serious inter-
ference with swallowing and speech.
A surgeon attached to the hospital
said the suggestion of using silver
wire for building up an artificial Jaw
was an idea worth the most serious
attention. He added:
Under certain circumstances we can
remove the jaw, but leave the perl
osteum and muscle attachments. This
new idea is then to take silver wire,
twist 1t into the proper shape. and
cover It with the periosteum. Under
good conditions l have no doubt that
there soon will begin process OF
bone growth from the periosteum,
which will form over the silver wire
model, which will act as a scaffold for
the new bone growth. After time
we can begin to remove small sec
tions Of the silver wire as the new
Jaw grows stronger. The regenera-
ton taking place from the periosteum
should, according to all surgeons can
surmise, form quite good new jaw

TELEPArHY is WIDESPREAD
Instances Frequently Indicate a Trans
mission Of Thought, Says One
Who Should Know.

Are we all mind readers? Can any
business or professional man, with
proper development, become an &C
complished psychic, receiving and
transmitting ideas without the use Of
a medium so gross as the spoken
word? Recent experiments in the
Charcot institute in France, and in
the psychiatric clinic Of the Johns
Hopkins hospital in Baltimore would
seem to lead to this belief, and Nor
man R. Prescott states his belief that
this is true.
There is not a man or woman alive
today" said Prescott recently, who
has not been at some time or another
the receiver or 'transmitter' in tele-
pathic experiment At times, 1t may
have been wholly unconscious; at 9th
ers it may have been dimly guessed;
then again, it may have been thorough
ly appreciated, but attributed to that
very convenient old invention, the law
of coincidence. One is talking to a
friend, perhaps. He stops and when
his friend replies, he realizes that he
knew before just what his friend was
going to say, and the exact language
In which he would clothe his ideas.
All Of us have felt that, day after day,
many, many times.
THAT is telepathy; the transmission
of thought through ether without phys
ical aid The more you study this
wonderful science, the more you will
be impressed with the fact that, for
It's success, it depends largely on two
minds being closely attuned; there
must be absolute harmony If there is
to be success. Such instances as
have mentioned little before are
found in their greatest frequency, be-
tween husband and wife. And this is
natural because of all persons in the
world husbands and wives are most
closely associated and bound by the
closest, dearest, most binding ties.
Two minds with but single thought;
two hearts that beat as one really ex.
presses the idea perfectly. 1t is,
might say, the philosophy of telepathy
crystallized in an epigram."

HARD MATTER TO ARRANGE
Question of Disarmament, Following
War, viii Test the Mettle of
Diplomats.

Whenever talk of the re-establisn'
ment of peace after the present war
comes up, disarmament or the reduc-
ton of ornaments is sure to be an inn
portant issue. Just how the nations
shall effect a program Of disarma-
ment is a vexed question. The En-
cyclopedia Britannica cites as 'the
only existing case of contractural re-
duction of ornaments" the disarma-
ment agreement of the 2Sth of May,
1902, between Chilean and Argentine
republics. BY this agreement the two
govern ments arranged to reduce their
fleets according to an arrangement
establishing a reasonable proportion
between the two fleets, and respective
ly promised not to increase their mari
time ornaments during FIVE years, un-
less the one who shall wish to in
crease them shall give the other 10
months notice in advance"
The Britannica authority points out
that an agreement of this kind is more
feasible among states whose navies
are small, because in the case of large
navies it would be difficult to agree
on a principle for assessment Of the
proportionate fighting value of the re-
spective fleets. Even comparatively
slight differences in the ages of ships
may make great difference in their
lighting value.

Ler mooring at pier II, North river,
and set her head for the coast of
Liberia, reports the New York Sun.
Laden down to her gun'les with
trinkets, including bracelets of brass
and glass diamonds as big as the
IIohinoor, the sturdy little three
master will proceed down old Butter
milk channel on what is probably the
first expedition of its kind that has
left these parts in some time. Aboard
the craft will be Capt. D. s. Kent,
Mate F. e. Lawry, Mrs. Lawry and
eight seamen.
The idea of the voyage Of the Adelia
T. Carleton, which is being backed by
several New Workers who form the
American Tropical Trading company,
is to descend on the Liberian coast,
barter with the natives, exchanging
the attractive glass diamond cargo
for the ivory, teak, and ebony, and re-
turn to this country with the hold Of
the little schooner groaning under the
weight of riches. Incidentally the
cannibals along the ivory coast, If
there are any now, will get chance
