they've taxed the butcher, the ba-
ker, the candle-stick maker, all

Sad news, but true.

Yes, sub; on every quarters
worth of that old facial camouflage
she's now taxed one perfectly good

Country Vote Elected Him, Says
Winner; Rushin Claims Union
Labor Vote Solid.

In spirited race at the polls Sat
urday F. w. Griffin was elected JUS
tice Of the Peace for the Americus dis
trict to succeed the late Chas. W.
Winchester The vote was very close
among three of the four candidates,
the result being as follows, with 4O5
votes cast:
}. h. Rush1n Observation-Disclosures. .1z9
F. W. Griffin .135
J. F. Monohan 118
q. j. Williams .................. 23
The three leaders were all present
at the court house when Justice w. T.
McMath, who had charge of the cleo
tion, announced the result at $40 p.
m. and Mr.. Rushin and Mr.. Monohan
were quick to congratulate Mr.. Griffin
and to thank him and each other for
the clean race that had been made.
"It was the country vote that elected
me-" said Mr.. Griffin. 81 got the
country vote practically solidly. There
were probably rs votes in the city
that I would have gotten had the
election been held any other day than
on Saturday, but which lost because
they could not leave their places of
business during the day"
Mr.. Rushin and Mr.. Monohan each
declared that he had been confident of
election until the tinal announcement.
There is this consolation" said Mr..
Rushin: II got nearly enough votes,
and l got the union labor vote solidly
l am a member of a labor union and
/ would much prefer to have lost
with their support than to have won
without it."
Mr.. Griffin, the winner, is 62 years
of age, and formerly held the office
of Justice of the Peace at Plains. He
moved to Americus few years ago
and is we'll known here and through
out the county. He at one time repre-
sented Sumter county in the state
legislature.
