LICENSE CARRIES BY HEAVIEST
MAJORITY IN MANY YEARS
ON TUESDAY.
VERY HEAVY Vote IS OUT
GUNTHER HILLERUD, AL. E. Du-
BEAU AND ALEX JAMESON
ELECTED ALDERMEN.

At the annual City election held
Tuesday Sank Centre remained in the
"Wet' column with vengeance.
When the question was first brought
to the attention of the voters four or
five years ago the wet majority was
131. This was gradually reduced until
last year when the result was a tie
after the district court litigation was
finished.
1t was generally expected that the
vote this year would be quite close,
and the Herald does not believe that
the leaders of either side expected
that the "wet" majority would be IS.
Five hundred and seventy of the
citizens voted. Probably never in the
history of the city was so large per-
centage of the registered vote polled
as on Tuesday. Larger votes have
been cast but that was before any of
the boys went into the service. Three
years ago the total reached 581.
The campaign was conducted quitSly
this year, and but very little excite
ment was raised over the issue. The
voting began early and by noon over
half the entire vote of the city had
been cast.
The six candidates for the three
vacant places on the City council add
ed little zest to the campaign. Al
DuBeau led the field with 303 votes;
Gunther Hillerud was close up with
293, Alex Jameson with 264 had a
comfortable majority over Thomas
Sullivan. 30. ae
The following is the tabulated vote:

will have an opportunity to learn
more of the resources and possibilities
of the great Ninth Federal Reserve
district of which you are part, possibly
than ever before.
The northwest has shown clean
pair of heels to the rest of the country
in previous drives, and Mr.. Rogers Is
thoroughly convinced that the same
liberal response will be given in the
Fifth and Final of Victory Loan drive.
An added attraction to this meeting
will be Lieut.. Murray, one of Mime
sota's American aviation aces. Thi:'
sturdy young Northerner brought
down nine Hun planes. He will tell
in a modest way of some of his ex-
periences and will give you first han,
information from the very battle
front.

AND SYRIAN RE-
LIEF CAMPAIGN WELL Or
CANNED IN STEARNS COUNTY

The chairman of the Armenian Re-
lief Committee informs the Herald
that the work of organizing Stearns
county is proceeding as fast as pos
sible under the circumstances. The
size. of the county and the condition
of the roads makes the work some
what hard but everywhere that the
matter has been taken up the people
have realized the need and given their
full share towards saving the remnant
of the Armenian and Syrian people.
Saint Cloud has paid her quota in full
and we hope shortly to report that
Sank Centre has raised her quota. At
the time of going to press it is nearly
raised. Several villages and towns
are making their drive this week;
some have finished; some have gone
over the top. Next week Ashley Ray
mond, Getty, and Sank Centre town
ships make their drive and there is a
keen rivalry as to which of the four
townships will be first to reach their
full quota. All four townships have
good records for war work and there is
little doubt but that they will all
measure up to the full height of their
obligation. News from the relief
workers tell of appalling conditions
and great suffering.
A news item in the Minneapolis
Tribune of recent date told how the
suffering people kissed the bread pro-
vided by the American people before
eating it. The state chairman reports
more than half of the $715,000 asked
from Minnesota as being raised and
the matter will now be speeded up
to reach the goal.
Stearns county is not going to fail
A report will shortly be made of the
amount raised in Stearns county and
the villages and townships having
gone over the top-Contributed.

delegations are expected from Melrose
and other nearby towns.
Some time next week one of thes =
little tanks will visit Sank Centre,
fully manned and armed, and the peo-
pie will be given an opportunity to
get "close up" view of these mem
bers of the "treat-em-rough"' corps.
The Mandolin club will play and it
is hoped that other music can be
arranged.
It is realized that the public view
point has changed entirely since the
last drive. The war is over and the
war enthusiasm has naturally waned.
When the last drive was made it
was taken as an accepted fact that
there would be at least one and per-
haps three more drives to furnish the
necessary funds to win the war. The
bloody sacrifice has stopped but Uncle
Sans war bills are going on. There
is still 100000 of our boys overseas,
and it costs vast amount to MAINTAIN
them and return them to private LIE.
It will cost another billion to make
good to the farmers the governments
guaranteed price for the 1919 wheat
crop. There are just two ways OF
raising funds for public use-by tax
alton or bond issues.
The secretary of the treasury has
indicated the Forthcoming bonds will
bear an attractive rate of interest. In
any event Uncle Sam must have the
money. We must finish the job.
Be sure and hear Mr.. Rogers Sat
urday evening of next week. 1t will
be a worthwhile evening. The audi
forum will handle approximately 900
people and every seat should be
occupied for this occasion.

MELROSE MAN, MISSING SINCE
LAST OCTOBER, FOUND IN
MILL RACE WEDNESDAY

Wednesday afternoon about one
o'clock as Leroy Working of Sank
Centre was talking to one Of the en-
ployees of the mill at Melrose they
were Mortified, on looking out the
window, to discover the head of man
sticking above water.
Help was summoned and the re-
mains removed as quickly as possible.
The body was that of August Yanke,
we'll known about Melrose. He was
about SO years old and a widow anc
two grown sons are the immediate
family left to mourn.
The deceased has been missing since
about the middle of last October. His
body was in badly decomposed con-
dition. There was nothing to indicate
foul play and the generally accepted
theory is that the case was a suicide.

by the senate last last week and Gov.

WEST POINT COMPLETING
NEW SYSTEM OF PAVING

ATLANTA, Feb. 24.-The new sys-
tenn of paving and storm sewers for
the business center of West Point will
be completed in about ten days when
the thriving little city will have as
complete a system of this kind as
any town in Georgia.
The work, which was planned and
supervised by Knox T. Thomas, the
Atlanta engineer, was started during
the war under the administration of
former Mayor John T. Johnson, who
has since died in France. 1t is now
being completed under the admins
tration of Mark Mccullough, the new

town is thoroughly drained of stand
ing water in addition to having it's
streets free of mud. The work cost
about $1,000.

County Seeks toHand Back
to City Spring Street Strip 1t
Received as Unwelcome Gift

The following entry recently ap-
peared on the minute books of the
Sumter board of county commission
ers:
Resolved, We respectfully ask
our members in the legislature, in the
house and senate, to introduce and
pass bill to put bacgk into the city
of Americas a certain parcel Or strip
of land lying west of the city and
known as Muckalee bridge and hill.
We request our attorney, R. L. May
nard, to look after this matter for the
county"
Which brings back recollections of
another day
The commissioners decided in exec
utive session at their first meeting in
January to take this action, but no re-
cord was made of it and the plan did
not become public. At the February
meeting mention was made privately
of the failure of the board to have the
matter made a part of the record, but
again it did not get into the minutes.
A few days ago the resoluti0.' was
written into the record by County
Treasurer Watts, secretary of the
board, at the direction of officers of
the board.
N. A. Ray, chairman of the board,
was asked the purpose of the resolu-
ton, to which he replied:
THE county just wants to be gem
erous and give this little strip of
ground back to the city, now that we
have built two permanent bridges on
it and put it in good shape"
This bit of ground at one time was
the cause of considerable feeling be-
tween certain city and county officials.
Mayor ]. E. Sheppard, who was a
member of the Georgia house at the
time it was transferred from the city
TO the county, gave a brief outline of
the circumstances attending it's trans
fer He said: THE city charter as
it existed many years ago, contained
a provision that the county should be
responsible for the maintenance of
ridges across Muckalee and Town
creeks, on Spring street, which were
inside the city limits. At a subse-
quent date the city charter was com
pletely revised, and in the process of
revision the clause continuing the
county's liability for the maintenance
of these bridges was inadvertently
omitted. The old bridges fell into de-

cay and became impossible, and the
county did not repair or rebuild
them. The city felt that the county
was morally bound to continue the
maintenance of them even though the
provision had been left out of the
charter by error, so the city had me
introduce a bill in the legislature,
which was passed, removing from the
city and placing in the county the
strip of ground crossing these two
creeks and the width of the roadway.
The county commissioners then built
the two concrete bridges that are in
use now"
The small tract which was handed
to the county was surrounded on all
sides by city property and the action
of the officials who were instrumental
in having it transferred was bitterly
denounced in some quarters. A hot
fight was made On this action on Mr..
Sheppard when he subsequently made
the race for the state senate, but he
was elected.
The old squabble had been forgot
ten until resurrected by the proposal
of the new county board to have the
little tract returned to the city.
We felt that it should not be con-
tirued a part of the county," said Hr
Ray. 1--WE have built the concrete
bridges, and it will cost the city al
most nothing now to maintain them
And the tract really is part of the
city, as it does not touch any other
county property The county should
never have had it in the first place,
and we do not want to be bothered
with it any longer"

NEW TAX ACT REPLACES
CHILD LABOR MEASURE

ATLANTA, Feb 24.-Georgia child
rem under IA years of age who are en-
gagged in interstate commerce, and
who are not touched by the state child
labor laws of Georgia, will be affected
by the provisions of the new tax act
now pending in the national Congress.
which virtually takes the place of the
old federal child labor law which was
declared unconstitutional.
Under existing state laws, children
working on goods shipped out of the
state could not be touched; but as the
new tax act places a tax of ten per
cent on all goods shipped from one
state to another which were manu-
featured by children under IA years,
it is believed that manufacturers will
refuse to use such labor rather than
bear the additional burden of ex-
pense.
