for the judges to announce the re-

All the candidates have been
gamers even though their names do
not appear high on the list of win
ners. They have increased their
circle of acquaintance and have
cemented the bonds of friendship
even closer than when admiring
friends placed their names before
the public as candidates for prizes.
One of the most interesting fea-
lures of the campaign was the
friendliness of the rivalry between
the different candidates and this
good will was even IN stronger ev-
idence when the announcement of
the winners was made. Among the
congratulations received by the for
tunate were those of candidates
who were in the race against them,
personal friends in many instances
who had come to the close lacking a
few thousand votes of winning a
big prize. 1t requires a good deal of
spirit to put up battle Of this ma
ture and it takes a strong will to be
a cheerful loser, but we are sure
this is the way the candidates feel

The Mt. Sterling Advocates big
Automobile and Prize Campaign is
now a matter of history. The Off
cial standings told the story of the
great race in which the balloting
ended at o'clock last Saturday
night. The checking of the records
was rather tedious task but the
systematic manner in which the
judges conducted the count was so
thorough that there was no chance
for an error. The votes were count
ed ON an adding machine and the
results were then checked and re-
checked several times to make sure
they we're correct. Fortunately the
gentlemen who served as the
Judges, were all accustomed to the
handling of figures and this fact
enabled them to complete the count
in such much shorter time than is
usual in such campaigns.
The interest in the outcome of the
big campaign was intense-it SEEM
ed as il almost everyone had some
fayorite in the big raee-and the
crowd could hardly wait for the
Judges to complete the count and
make the announcement of the win

STABBED WITH
FATAL RESULTS
Argument at Gay Wilson's Soft
Drink House Sunday Night
Ends in Murder

Late Sunday night, John Allen
Hall, colored stabbed Henry Gar
rett, also colored, several times with
a knife, from which cutting Gar
rett died in a few minutes. The
trouble occurred at the soft drink
establishment of Gay Wilson, on
East Main St., in this city, oppo-
site the old gas works. Those who
saw the trouble say the killing was
without provocation. Hall it APP
pears was drinking and came into
the Wilson house, where Garrett
was and began guying him about a
girl. 1t seems the girl was in the
back of the room and Garrett asked
him not to talk that way, in her
hearing and then left the room.
Hall followed closely behind him and
when they got out of the building,
Hall began cutting him with knife.
Garrett was stabbed a number of
times and lived but few minutes.
Hall Immediately made bis escape
and has not been apprehended. Gar
rett is said to have been good neg
70 while Hall has frequently been in
trouble before and was under bond
to appear at the next term of the
Circuit Court on another felony.
1t is also understood that repre-
sentatives Of the Commonwealth are
collecting evidence as to the char
acter of business being conducted
by Mr.. Wilson, with view Of TAX
ing action to close the place, which
is frequented by negroes only.
Later, Hall was arrested at the
home of his father Wade Hall on
Hog Creek; above the Levee, at a
late hour Monday night Sheriff
Roberts, Deputy Sheriff Cravens
and Chief of Police Upton, accom-
panied by several guards, surround
ed the house and surprised their
man while in bed. The officers say
there were two guns in the room
and a knife under his pillow. Hall
will be given an examining trial be-
fore Judge Earl w. Senff some day
this week.
