ERROR IN THE VOTE FOR
CHANCERY CLERK

An error in the tabulation of the
vote for the office of Chancery Clerk
made it necessary for the Democrat
ic Executive Committee of the Coun-
ty to meet last Monday to go over the
matter.
It was found that H. G. Talbert was
credited with 8 votes cast at Grays-
port for w. H. Crowder' which swell
ed that gentleman's vote to 289.
1t was also found that in the addition
a mistake of ten votes has been made
in the vote of M. E. Powell. Mr.. Pow
ell should have been credited with
287 votes instead of 277 as first an
nounced. These corrections make the
vote for Chancery Clerk as follows !:
Keeton, 900; Powell, 287; Talbert
1873 and Crowder 289, a neck and
neck race between the three highest
candidates. 1t will be seen that Kee-
ton and Crowder are still in the run
off.

to the auction sale o. pure bred hogs
and cattle which IS TO take place in
Grenada august 23. / shall not dis
cuss the cattle phase of the subject
as am particularly interested in hogs
and the Importance OF pure bred bulls

hope and believe pure bred boar pigs
of the best strains of Duroc Jersey

bought at this sale from $40 to S25
and at this price every farmer in the
County should have a pure bred boar.
There is no chance 10 lose. You can
keep the pig two months and if cared
for we'll he will sell for more than he
cost you and if bred pure bred Du-
oc or Poland China boar to your ma
tive sows you will get hog that
graws rapidly and fattens well.
have made arrangements with Mr.. J.
a Martin to offer some of his pigs
at this sale: also Mr. J. w Willis and
Mr. w F. Martin These pigs will be
brothers and cousins 10 some of the
highest priced hogs of the State and
yop will have an opportunity to buy
them at your own price.
viii also suggest that all who have
pure bred pigs for sale to bring them
in and enter them in the sale and sin
cerely hope the farmers generally
thrcueout the County will be out and
take an interest in this matter The
first thing necessary 10 make the hog
business profitable : 10 get good

Tucker. the pastor, was assisted In the
services by Revs. J. r. Countiss and
3. P. Jaco. These hoaored men paid d
splendid tribute 10 the life and the
character of the deceased who had
labOred for half century in the
Masters Vineyard. in calling sinners
to repentance and in upholding the
standards Of the Methodist Church of
which he became member in early
youth.
Mr.. Freeman had been a resident
of Grenada for nearly twenty years.
He came here when he retired from
active ministerial work and had de-
voted his energies to gardening and
to merchandising on a small scale.
He was a stalwart character and knew
little about neutral ground or inde-
cision about any matter. He endea-
vored to steer close to the path that
the Saviour would have him trod and
wrought a good work, work that will
endure when material things have
passed away and been forgotten.
He is survived by two sons one OF
whom is one of the leading ministers
of the Tennessee Conference and the
other is a farmer living in South Mis-
sissippi. Besides these he has
daughter. Mrs. Sanders, who lives at
Charleston.
The remains were laid TO rest IN

New York, Oct. IA. king Albert
and Queen Elizabeth, of Belgium, al
ter a week at sea, on their way to
America, became the most popular
persons on board the George Wash
ington, II 1t is possible to except thai
quiet, modest, likeable boy whom
they call Prince Leopold, heir appar
ent to the Belgian throne. Each had
some personal contact with officers
and men, and in every quarter the
opinion was expressed that while
maintaining their official dignity they
were as one southern jackie ex-
pressed it, mighty good folks.
One warm afternoon the King with
Admiral Long, Captain McCauley and
a member of his suit was playing
deck tennis" All the men were ex-
perts at the game, and the play was
so close the king manifested the deep
est interest. At length it came the
Kings turn to serve, and looking the
field over, he removed his blouse OF
q lieutenant general, and resumed
play in his shirt sleeves. 1t happened
that an official photographer was
handy, and the scene was preserved
for posterity.
Queen Elizabeth ~ an accomplished
photographer, and mas taken many
photographs since ginning on board.
She knows light effects, position and
all the other things which most anna
tours lack, and while in Brussels keeps
one man pretty busy developing and
printing her pictures. During the
games between the King and his
friends she got number of snaps,
and was herself photographed one
day while she focused her camera on
Inc royal party.
1t was apparent from the begin
ming Of the voyage that the Queen
was not to appear prominently in tho
news reports, it being made known to
the correspondents that she did not
particularly care for publicity of the
intimate sort. But she did not hide
herself, going to all parts of the ship
and manifesting the live1iest inter-
est in the sailors and soldiers.
In company with her lady in wait
ing, Countess Carman- Chimay, she
visited the o. X, and expressed her
sympathy for the men who were i'll.
Her experience in the Belgian hos
pitfalls during the war told her the
sickbay was ideally equipped and
splendidly conducted, and she con-
graduated the medical force in
charge.
In her apartments the Queen main
tanned the atmosphere Of her home.
and one of the officers who dined with

home of any other well-bred family.
