Complete returns from 5,s36 out
Of 5,ee6 precincts In California
at s;2o today gave Wilson 4ee,.
752 and Hughes 462,s59, a lead
for Wilson Of 1893.
The reduction In the total
vote for Wilson was caused by
correction made by County
Clerk Kay Of Humboldt county
which showed Wilson had previ-
ousIy been erroneousIy credited
with 1000 votes.
This leaves only 80 precincts
in California TO be heard from.
The revision Of the Humboldt

BUSHMAN AND BAYNE IN
"IN THE DIPLOMATIC SERVICE

Francis x. Bushman and Beverly
Bayne, the foremost stellar combina-
tion in motion pictures, will be seen
on the screen here at the Edisonia
theatre on Christmas Day in "In the
Diplomatic Service" five-part Metro
wonderplay. Mr.. Bushman and Miss
Bayne will be surrounded by an ex-
ceptionally strong supporting cast, in
cluding such well-known favorites as
Helen Dunbar, Henry Bergman, Will
liam Davidson, Edmund Elton, Harry
ID. Blakemore, Mrs. La Roche, Belle
Bruce, Liza Miller and Chas. Fang
Among some of the big and interest
ing scenes in this production are a
state ball given in Washington, ID. c..
honoring the foreign diplomats, and
glimpses of the nations capitol with
the Bushman-Bayne players very
much in evidence. The story of "In
the Diplomatic Service" is, as the
title implies, one of romance and teem-
ing with big dramatic moments.
There is an unusual love story inter
woven throughout, and altogether it
is charming and pleasing feature.

We sincerely hope the gentlemen
who are CONTEMPLATING the building Of
a street railway system for Union will
be successful in their planning, for
we cannot think of any one enterprise
that would do more for our city than
would the operation of such system.
We trust the city authorities will deal
lbcralIy with the proposed corpora
tors. We do not see how there could
be a fairer basis for the granting of
the franchise than that outlined in
the proposed articles of agreement.
Indeed the city has in these proposed
articles every reasonable safeguard
for the future protection of the city
and of the public. The question of
there being 50-year franchise is not
unreasonable from any point Of view,
and is no more than is granted to such
enterprises in every city. No man
nor set of men would invest $4,000
in some enterprise of public nature
without reasonable protection. We 10
not think there is any reason in not
giving the franchise for the so years.
1t will be 80 years and many more
before we get street cars for Union
unless there be given just such pro-
lection. 1t will not be fourteen months
before the cars will be in operation,
provided the franchise be granted for
the gentlemen behind the movement
have already provided the necessary
financial sinews for carrying out the
enterprise. 1t is to be hoped that the
city authorities will take liberal view
Of the matter and grant the franchise
without any great amount of hae-
Cling.

FRIDAY, DECEMBER %, 1916.

In the death Of Robert E. Gonzales
at Ell Paso this week South Carolina
has lost a brilliant son, and jour-
nalism has lost one of its shining
marks. Since Bob" Gonzales left Co
lumbia for the front many readers
of The State have looked forward to
home and again take up the work
which he put aside to enlist in the
National Guard. Death has claimed
him, and he will come no more to
gladden. the heart and bring cheer to
the lonely. But he died for his coun-
try, and his work and his patriotism
will live in the hearts of many through
the coming years.

INEFFICIENCY FROM OVEREAT-
ING.

More and more it is being demon
strated that mans productive ca
pacity is lowered by overeating. This
is true, no matter what be the nature
of his work. Even the physical Ia
borer loses efficiency when the sys-
tenn is clogged by overfeeding. Still
more noticeable is the case of the
mental worker. An overfed body is a
fearful drawback to the activities of
the brain. This is so manifest that
even a child cannot fail to appreciate
the truthfulness of it. Much of the
overfed condition lis the result, not of
too great quantity of food, but of i'll
chosen or wrong combinations in
foods. And we do not have to go to
men of science to learn that these
things are so. We have "hog killing
time, followed with sick headaches,
socalled "bilious" attacks and feeling
of general "cussedness." When asked
what the trouble is, we say, "too much
hog" This we know to be so. the
only trouble being that we do not
make the double application which
might justly be made.
Christmas time is great time for
overeating and for eating a combina-
tion of foods that only the strongest
can get away with without serious
harm. Pickles and sweet milk, to
say nothing of thousand other com
binations, will be swallowed at the
same meal. Turkey, pork, sausage,
and few other meats will be capped
by big plate of oyster pie, when any
one Of the above dishes would be quite
enough meat for one meal
At this season of the year we often
hear those inclined to "preach" warn
ing people to beware of the Christmas
toddy. This may be we'll enough, but
we venture the assertion that overeat-
ing will make more dull, heavy heads
the morning after Christmas than will
the drinking of liquor, bad as the
latter may be.

he begged that he be permitted to go
and when refused his DISAPPOINTMENT
was so great that he wept, and re-
turned home downcast in spirit.
When the veteran walked into the
Office of Ordinary Fleming Tuesday
and announced that he wanted mar
rage license, the official naturally con-
Guided that he wanted it for some one
else. but when the old gentleman
proudly stated that he wanted the Ii
cense for himself the official seemed

CORDELE LADS
To HAVE No
CIRCUS, SAY
COUNCIL
LICENSE OF $500 TO SUIT BUS
INESS MEN, COUNCILMEN SAY.
CIRCUsES PASS TO OTHER
TOWNS.

One of the hardest things in the
life of the youngster is to be deprived
of the circus. To separate a small
boy from his chances to see the cir
Gus is the worst thing in all the world
that could befall him. He has to
stand for lots of things, but missing
the circus is a thing he will not toll
crate It's the circus or anarchy. A .
trouncing as a sniff thing to get be-
tween him and the big show,-two or
three trouncings don't measure up as
q thing of consideration.
But the Cordele youngster isn't
likely to have another circus soon to
look at The city council has fixed
a fee of 5000 for each day. They say
the business men of the community
put them up to it,-asked them not
to let the circus come in. Two of the
three men who determine what
amount a circus shall pay are candi-
dates Cor election to municipal Of
fec. One Of them wants to be mayor
and he other wants to be reelected
ing for reelection. He says he's for
the circus and the fnu of it, but the
business men will not agree to it am
the circus will hsve~to go. The small
boy cannot vote and there you are!
In the meantime Albany, Valdosta
Wcycross, Fitzgerald Americas and
all the surrounding towns never miss
the circus and the fun Of it, but the
big shopping days of such an event
and while the city is crowded much
business comes to town. The bus
mess men of Americas had fight on
for a month for a big circus that is
to winter there,-and they got it.
All during the fall season, so they
say, people of Cordele have had to
slip away to other points to see the
circus. Those who slipped off have
reluctantly admitted that they did
some shopping. They haven't admit
ted that they did much shopping for
they don't want the unsuspecting 10.

their shopping cut of town during cir
Gus day. It's crime. to do that
"No fall fair, no circus, no anything
to bring people to town." one little
boy complains. And now they might
take away the picture show if anybody
sees us spend anything there"
