Question of Doubt is Felt.

The general confusion of the voting.
counting and canvassing of the sec
ond choice votes has brought about
an element of uncertainty that is so
general, that a question of doubt is
felt by a large percentage of those
who voted in the primary that the
face of the returns are not the cor
rect expression of those voting. 1t is
estimated on reliable information that
the second choice votes we're not
counted, or were so incorrectly tailed.
that the county canvassing boards
could not canvass these in more than
100 precincts of the state. These pre-
cincts in which the second choice
votes were not counted embrace be-
tween fifteen hundred and two thous-
and voters. It is contended by Mr.
Knott that these votes should be
counted and that he should have those
that were intended for him and those
that were intended for Mr.. Cats
should be credited to Mr.. Cats.

LAT|N-AMERlCANS
(By Associated Press }

Washington, June 23. .-Ambassa-
dor Arredondo told the Latin-Ameri-
can diplomats that the Mexican
troops were ordered not to attack
the Americans unless the latter were
the agressors. This directly contra
diets Trevino's threat to attack IL the
Americans moved other than north.
This is regarded as an attempt to
align the Latin-American sympathy
with Mexico.
Mexican embassy dispatches said
the news Of the tight was received in
Mexico City without any demonstra-
tion. Civilian and military officials
there are markedly active. The
people considered the Mexican troops
justified in attacking the Americans.
The embassy told the consulate off,
cials that they believe not more than
two hundred and fifty Americansnow
remain in Mexico City.

The Okaloosa County Journal says:
'Rumors upon rumors are being
circulated about Hcroockedness" in

know nothing personal about the mat
ter one of the defeated (?) candi-
dates is said to have sworn affidavits
from about twelve or fifteen men that
they voted for him while he only re-
ceived seven votes in that precinct.
Others say that in certain precinct
one Of the managers became sick mad
had to leave the voting place, another
became intoxicated and was relieved
by a man who was never sworn to
serve. In another precinct man is
accused of influencing some of the vot-
ers against their willard there are
so many other rumors that you can't
find head or tail to any of them-but

truth in some Of the statements that

Fourteen Whales Driven Ashore
On Coast Near Jacksonville

Jacksonville, June 23 Fourteen
whales, ranging in length from ten
to twenty-five feet, were driven
ashore at Pablo Beach Wednesday
might by a school of sharks, and
many of the population of the sum
mer colony are literally neck-deep in
whale grease, extracting oil.
The monsters weigh, it is estimat-
ed, from a thouaand pounds to sew
eral tons each, and they are said to
have an average value of $3.50 each
in oil.
Fourteen were stranded on the
beach in three groups, all within a
distance of half a mile They have
been hauled up beyond point
where they could not be washed out
again by the tide, and great crowds
are visiting the beach to view the
unusual spectacle.
Excitement became rife at Pablo
when the word was spread that a
school of whales was heading in
shore Crowds gathered and those
who climbed upon roof and other
eminences plainly observed a large
school of sharks in pursuit of the
sluggish Ieviathans. The sharks re-
NAMED in deeper water. but the
whales rushed into the breakers and
were stranded. The ebb tide left
them in the shadows and they were
unable to extricate themselves. One

beach showed evidences of battle

the theory that the sharks, which
were seen, drove the whales in.
Quickly gathering a large crowd
of summer visitors and residents of
Pablo and South Pablo watched the
curious sight OF the big fish rushing
into shallow water and becoming
stranded The monsters sponted and

tails in efforts to extricate them

the commercial value of grease and
whale oil, appeared and dispatched

TAYLOR COUNTY TO VOTE
ON 100000 BOND ISSUE
FOR GOOD ROADS, JULY 25

Perry. June 2S.IAn epidemic of
good roads" fever, remarkable for
its intensity, is spreading over Tay-
lor county from boundary line to boun-
dary line in all directions. People
who have never before manifested any
interest in such matters, are now ac-
lively working in behalf of the $780,
600 bound issue that is to be voted
upon by the county on July rs.
The proposed bond issue contem-
plates the building of twenty-four
miles of brick and sixty-five miles OF
sand-asphalt roads in various sections
of the county and the grading and
drainage of practically all of the pub
lie roads of the county. The Dixie
highway, on which considerable work
has already been done, is completely
provided for and every mile of this
important thoroughfare will be hard
surfaced.
: That the bond issue will carry by a
handsome majority, seems to be a
question of little doubt, Judging from
the expressions heard on every hand
from the leading farmers and business
men throughout the county. 1t is pre-
dicted by those who are quite familiar
with the sentiment throughout the
county that appreciation of the con
venience and advantages OF a good
system of public roads will be very
forcibiy reflected at the polls on July
25.
