to be married, has writ
ten a letter asking: "What type
Of woman holds her husbands af-
lection longest?"
And while the question is
enough to make a Balzac or a
HavelOck Ellis gasp as its magni-
tude, am going to attempt a few
generalities on the subject
In the first place, F. D. H., there
are no cut and dried rules about
marriage, as there are in regard
to arithmetic and spelling-amd
even those, if you remember, have
a good many exceptions.
Depends On the Type of Man.
1t will depend largely on the
type of man you are marrying,
and if he fell in love with you be-
cause your tastes are similar, or
because they are different.
Some men want a companion
with whom they can share convic-
tons, interests, and hobbies.
Others are immensely attracted by
their "opposites."
And there is, Of course, the
erUdite type of man who fees from
a brilliant woman and frankly en-
joys silly one. Such a man does
not want companionship, but ut
ter relaxation in the woman of his
choice. 1t would, perhaps, be a
little unkind to say he was not
seeking a wife, but a bromide"
The man who is attracted to q
human sedative Is invariably an
egotist. He is utterly self-suffi-
Gent, and feels himself endowed
with gifts, talents, and opinions,
sufficient for both. His theory
works out beautifully, unless as
sometimes happens, his wife de-
velops mind Of her own.

to play anything at all. he would

Ambitious girls with dreams of
cultivating their own talents will
do well to avoid the gifted egoist,
unless they are satisfied to shine
wholly by reelected glory.
To hold the affection of ones
life partner Is largely 4 question
of temperament and personality
and the pairing. of two people who

Yet couples whose individual Diff

Infinitely more useful, and 1 am
sure that very few persons who
have become familiar with even q
few OF them and their songs are
able to find anything admirahla
in the English sparrow.
DR.. TindRn would soon be dis-
illusioned in his belief that the
English sparrows so faithfully
guard our foliage from the
worms" il he would refer to

fruitful source of unhappiness.
A man who enjoys home and
wants to stay there, after his days
work, would find himself married
to a woman who regards home, ap-
parently, as the very last resource.
She would be away the greater
part of the day, provide delicates-
sen or canned food, and insist on
going out every evening. The
children, if there were any, ran

Or a woman would save to the
last penny to make the home at

band had no interest in it He
would prove to be what my friend
calls "the ragtime type" Any

TERMS OF THE COUNTY BOARD
WILL EXPIRE ON THE FIRST
OF JANUARY NEXT.

1t has developed that members of
the board of county commissioners
will have to be elected at the gen.
eral election in November, the term
of office of the incumbents expiring
at that time.
1t was thought by many that coun-
ty commissioners came within the
provisions of the new law fixing the
terms of county officers at four years,
but it seems that is not the case. The
opinion of the attorney general of
the state was sought and he let it be
known that the law does not apply
to this particular office.
The present board is composed of
J. c. Hollingsworth, NJ. D. Laing and
J. A. Hitler, and it is understood that
Messrs. Hollingsworth and Laing
have stated that they will not be can
didates for reelection.
Developments in the matter came
too late for candidates to be voted
for in the primary tomorrow.

VOTERS WILL MAKE

PRIMARY ELECTION WILL OC.
CUR THEN. INTEREST IN HOT
RACE FOR u. S. SENATOR.

The primary election for state Of
ficials, United States senator, con-
gressmen, judge of the superior court,
state senator and representative will
occur tomorrow.
While there are opposing candi-
dates for several of the state offices
the only contest in which any inter-
est has developed is that for United
States senator, and a fairly full vote
is expected to be polled in Terrell
county.
In this county the race for the SEN
ate is between W. J. Harris and VIM.
Schley Howard, with partisans of
both claiming to be sanguine of sue
cess. 1t is generally conceded that
Howard will carry the county pre-
clncts and will come to Dawson with
majority, and majority of the
town vote is conceded to Harris. The
result, therefore, seems to depend
upon whether Howard can overcome
Harris town vote or Harris can over
come Towards country vote. Hon.
Emmett ShaW'S friends claim that he
will receive a good vote in the coun-
ty, and Senator Hardwick is expect
ed to receive $50 to 200 votes.
There are no local contests. Coun-
ty officers are not to be elected this
year, and Representative \. c. Pick
EFT has no opposition. II IS Randolph
county's time to furnish the state
senator for this district. and for that
position Hon. J. B. Bussey, of Cuth-
bert, has no opposition. For judge of
the superior court of the Pataula cir
cult Judge W. C. Worrill is also I'M
opposed.
