BULLDOGS AGAIN
 DEFEAT F0RDYC[ WIN SECOND GAME, 9-4 COACH JI M HE HARRISON PITCHES AND IS SEVERELY WALLOPPED.

The Hendrix College Bulldogs yes. terday afternoon won the second and final game of the series with Fordyce high school, 9 to 4. The day was per feet for baseball, and large crowd witnessed the pastime. Only eight innings were played.
 Jimmie Wahl, left hand finger, was Coach Bill Headrick's choice for the pitching job, and was invincible until the seventh stanza. Ragged support kept him from handing a goose egg to the visitors.
 Coach Harrison of Fordyce pitched for his charges, and was touched up for total of 15 wallops, two of which were home run cracks by "Chief" Meyers. The Fordyce lads pulled two fast double plays, which probably kept the score down.
 Fordyce this afternon will open a series of two games with the State Normal, on the Teachers diamond. The games will start at 3:30 o'clock.

BIC VOTE BEING
 ROLLED IN CITY OFFICIALS KEPT BUSY
CADRON VOTE EXPECTED TO PASS ALL PREVIOUS REC
 ORDS TODAY.

With more than 600 votes cast in ship up to 3 o'clock this afternoon, and constant stream of voters still going to the polls, it was predicted that the vote in this township would surpass all previous records and reach close to ,000. At o'clock 34S votes had been cast at the courthouse, 151 in the First ward and 109 in the Third ward. The highest number previously cast in a Democratic pri- mary in the township was ITS in Jan uary, 1914.
 It is admitted on all sides today that with the lengthy ballot it would have been impossible for everyone who desired to vote at one precinct From five to 15 minutes is required for the voters to make ou their bal for the voters to make out very slow and it will be late tonight before the returns are received.
 With two exceptions, all the judges and clerks appointed by the central committee are serving in the Conway precincts. Gaston Hancock is serv- ing as one of the clerks in the First ward, in the place of w. o. Durham, and A. L. Jones was appointed as one of the judges at the Second ward in the place of V. G. Craig, who was unable to serve Everyone comedies the count in this township will be fair to all candidates.
 Few reports have been received to- day from rural precincts, but the in dications are the vote will be large throughout the county. Farmers are we'll up with their work, the weather is perfect and the combined county and state primary adds interest to the election.
 Returns will be received from both the county and the state at large to- night at the Log Cabin Democrat office, and all persons interested are invited to be present and hear the results. The returns will necessarily be very slow, however, and there will probably be long waits between re- ports from the various townships, some of which will not complete counting before early Thursday morn- ing

COST OF EUROPEAN
WAR Is ENORMOUS,
SAYS This EXPERT

Paris, June 26. - Jean Finot. the
noted economist, says the cost to all
belligerents of three-year war will
have been one hundred billion dollars.
Writing in the Revue, he says:
of this war lasts three years the
losses will reach a total unheard of in
the past. They will amount to one
hundred or one hundred and twenty
billions
According to the calculations of
economists and statistians, armed con-
flicts from Napoleon l. to our day, all
added together, have not caused one
half the sums absorbed by the present
war. The NapOleonic wars, properly
so called, which are considered the
most sanguinary in the history of past
times. cost only about $4,000 100000.
They lasted twenty years.
"The Crimean War cost the coun-
tries taking part in it about eleven or
twelve billions. The Civil War in
America did not cost more than
s7,OOO,OOO,OOO or $7,6OO,OOO.OOO The
war between Prussia and Austria in
1866 necessitated an expense of only
about S5OO,OOO,OOO.
According to the estimates Of Mr..
MatheU-Bodet, Minister of Finance in
1874, the war of 1870 cost France the
total sum of $2,499,00O,OOO. In this
figure are included the losses to the
State, to the departments, the COM
munes and individuals. The cost of
caring for German troops after the
conclusion of peace and before the
complete evacuation, amount to $751;
100000, is also included.
can English statistician puts the
direct expenses of all belligerents
from Napoleon |. to the war of 1914
at $36.OOO,000,O 900 to $4O,OOO,OOOOOO
considering only the Allied armies
in the present war, it may be noted
that the number Of combatants on our
side now amounts to about 100000.
If we admit an average daily expense
of 81 day for each soldier, including
we will have a total ex-
pense of $1,68O,OOO,OOO a month, or
about $2O.OOO.OOO,OOO a year."
Frances budget alone amounts to
s6,193, 100000 yearly, according TO Mr..
who recently made a report
to the French Senate, showing the fol-
lowing credits since August 1, 1914:
Last five months of 1914, s1,317,-
$3.50;
Year 1915, $4,483,319,7O2;

GEORGIA WOMAN WINS FIRST
L. S. POST OFFICE ELECTION

Fort Gaines, Ga. June 26. - Mrs.
Susie McAllister has been chosen post
master at Fort GainessOver a field of
several competitors. She has not only
received the nomination for the Office
in the regular way, but she holds the
unique distinction of having been
elected thereto by the votes of the
people as well. Congressman Charles
Crisp is responsible for this plan of
settling contests for postmasters.
In a public speech during the fall,
Congressman Crisp announced that he
would submit the question as to whom
he would endorse for postmaster, to
the patrons of the office in the form of
a letter primary, and that he would
recommend the person receiving a
plurality Of the votes cast.
Crisp is firm believer in local self
government. The plan has worked out
so we'll that it is probable other con-
gressicnal districts will take it up.
Congressman cannot make a mistake
in submitting such contests to letter
ballot. They are bound to endorse the
will of the majority while at the same
time relieving themselves of response
bility.
Mrs. McAllister is the first post
master or postmistress in the United
States to have been elected to the
Office. = g 81 1T
