ORDERED A RECOUNT
IN ALACHUA
Supreme Court Says Canvassing
Board Must Reconvene When
1t is Necessary

Tallahassee, Fla, September 21.-z
The Supreme Court yesterday after
noon granted the petition of w. w
Flournoy for an alternative writ OF
mandamus to compel the Alachua
county canvassing board to count the
vote for governor in precinct three of
that county, but the court denied the
motion to stay the premptory writ to
compel the state canvassing board to
reconvene and recanvass the vote for
governor.
The suggestion of Flournoy to stay
the writ was not granted because the
court can compel the state canvassing
board to reconvene at any time, or a
half dozen times, if necessary.

Bussey Record: The Tracy school
bond issue for. the purpose of selling
bonds in the sum OF 81, 500 to build
an addition to the present school
building, must stand the test OF an
other election. The same proposition
was defeated in an election about one
year ago and was brought up again
and voted upon March II. In this
election the proposition carried by a
majority of three, but through a
slight irregularity in the petition and
notice the school board could not sell
the bonds. The petition stated that
the bonds were for the purpose of
building an addition to the school
house, eGuipping the same and pur-
chasing a site" In the notice, that
rart pertaining to purchasing u site
was omitted and this was the main
reason why the bonding company
would not buy the bonds.

WORKING FOR THE FAIR
Final Effort to Effect Organization
Was Launched Today.

Effort was launched this Tuesday
morning to wind up the Mahaska
County Fair association solicitation in
the county and the two sides chosen
at a recent meeting are engaged in a
contest which, to say the least, does
not lack enthusiasm.
One of the participants came in
from the remote corner of the county,
Jefferson ownship, to engage in the
fray and he was only one of many
who are devoted to the cause. Hobe
Armstrong came all the way from
Buxton.
Every one has recognized the fact
that the Mahaska Fall Festival has
outgrown its sWaddling clothes. The
,youngster has gone beyond control OF
those who fathered it and the organ
iZation of the new association became
necessary to- accommodate the unpre-
cedented growth of the idea.
Automobile after automobile lined
up this morning to take the solicitors
to the country districts, and while
corn planting is in the way to some
extent, the forces at work are making
the best of the opportunities offered.
With favorable weather prevailing,
the forces in the field will be at work
again tomorrow
The sides will have a grand round
up and the contestants bringing in
the most stock will be banquetted by
the less successful solicitors.

Military men realize that the guard
of the three states do not amount to
much either in number, training or
equipment The New Mexico and Ari.
iona guards are poorly equipped and
not strong enough in fact to guard
their own border. The Texas guard Is
small and organized under the old
style used in the Civil war. They take
Negroes along to put up the tents and
to keep guard. When ordered to dis.
continue this many refused to reinlist.
Iowa Is Ready For Service.
1t is very likely that Iowa will be
among the first orderd out because OF
efficiency and suitable equipment and
because General Logan has them al,
ready for service. Three large infan.
try squadron of cavalry and three bat.
tie artillery number about 5000 in
addition to a hospital corps unite and
engineers. All are fully equipped,
well trained and ready at Fort Dodge
to detain on the Texas border without
additional equipment. 1t took "a
hours to mobilize the Iowa guard in
the Spanish war and it will take just
about as long to do it again. General
Logan has orders prepared for filing
with the telegraph office calling out
the troops.
