LITTLE INTEREST SHOWN

There was so little interest in the election that in some places the cleo tion officers did not take the trouble to go to the voting places to open the polls. At several boxes it was after 10 o'clock before the polls were opened and others scarcely a dozen voters had put in an appearance up to noon.
 With the returns from the first three or four boxes in early last night MT. Thompson conceded the election Of Mr' Huddleston and retired to his home.
 Only a few of the boxes were taken ot the courthouse last night and these were left in care of the warden of the county jail
 Senator Bankhead apparently leads the democr atic ticket, at least the few precincts heard from last night in- dicated that he had received more votes than anN other candidate.

Don't Get Swell-Head

Nearly every who has made good acquires air Of
certainty and efconfdence which makes him stand out
above the crowd.
He shouldn't be blamed for this-assuming that there
who charge him with concet-because in his think
ing and working he quite naturally fell into the mood OF be-
ing alone that he could plan and execute without dsrac
ton annoyance.
And this has, in been his tower of strength
But in this also lies his greatest weakness.
For he may forget the way he struggled-when
he was down the bottom-to make things come his
way whether he leader in worldwide enterprise
just gangboss in the shop road job whether he
selling goods.
But now-he may get the impression that he's far
above the rest of that he can't afford to like
common huster-and he stands aoof able efficient, but
feeling that the job must come to him.
And he'll awake some day-maybe when his competitors
have passed him in the race-to find what he himself
strongly believed that jobs don't that way
For there youngsters in training who chatting
at the b-eager to be let go-and the who stood out
when he at his best can't hope to win against these
when he has distinctly slumped in his interest and in his
aggressiveness.
If you're in his class, you'd better get grip on
yourse-forge about past and put yourself
into minded enhearted attitude that life will
take on the freshness of your early successes.
