WATSON CLEARLY
LEADS OPPONENTS
Former Populist Candidate for Presis
dent Defeats Hoke Smith in
Georgia.
fsy Associated Press,

Atlanta, Ga, Sept. 8.-Thomas E.
Watson continued to maintain clear
| ma ority of county unit votes over the
three other candidates for the United
States senate on the face of the in
complete, unofficial returns from 123
of the 155 Georgia counties, compiled
today by the Atlanta Journal. Senator
Hoke Smith was running third, ac-
cording to these returns.
On the face of the same returns the
Journal forecast the denomination Of
the eight Georgia congressman who
had opposition. The gubernatorial
race was neck and neck, affair with
former United States Senator Thomas
w. Hardwick two votes ahead of Cliff
ford Walker. 1t was indicated that the
official count would be necessary be-
fore the outcome was definitely known.
Figures from the various counties
on which the compilations were made
were. not complete for q ma ioritv of
the counties tabulated. While there
was a possibility that final returns
would show a change, the general trend
of the returns, showing Watson lead
ing by a clear majority. and Hard
wick and Walker running close, had
not changed since the compilations
began to take definite shape last
night.
The Journals figures at noon indi-
Gated the following:
Senate, 123 counties reported, Wat
son Is counties, 203 county unit vote.
Governor Dorsey-29 counties, 20
county unit votes.
Smith, counties, 40 county unit
votes.
John r. Cooper-O; 40 county unit
votes.
Governor-124 counties reported:
Hardwick 50 counties! las county unit
votes.
Walker, 81 counties; 146 county unit
votes.
John n. Holder counties; 20 coun-
ty unit votes.
w. r. Brown, 0; 0 county unit votes.
In Georgia Democratic primaries
which are regarded as equivalent to
election, county unit votes instead of
the popular vote determine the re-
suit. Each county has two unit votes
for each representative in the lower
house of the legislature.

FRENCH SALvATIONISTS
WORK HARD FOR POOR

Paris, Sept. 9.-Lodging houses and
"Wardrobes of the Poor, where old
clothing is sold, are being multiplied
by the French Salvation Army, on
much the same lines as in the United
States. The work, so necessary now
that cities are over populated and the
cost of living so high. is attracting the
attention of publications interested in
social work and French philanthropic
organizations are being urged to follow
the lead of ''L'Armee du Salut," as the
blue uniformed. tambourine contingent
is known here.

Belief in Signs
Is Stretched by
Roadside Posts
Disagreement About Dis
tances Among Boards
Collected Together An
noys the Automobiles

Roadside signs are intended to be of
assistance to the touring motorst, but
it would be good idea to wipe out
most of the signs which are now posted
along the highways, or at least to in
sist upon better agreement among
them. There is nothing more exasper-
ating to man driving along the road
and anxious to reach his destination to
find differences as high as seven miles
between signs posted within few hun
dred yards of one another.
For instance: All the way to Atlantic
City one company has posted adver-
tising signs at intervals indicating the
mileage to Atlantic City. Another
company has done the like and yet
where one shows, for instance, eighty
five miles still to be covered, another
sign of the other company, less than a
quarter Of mile away, shows seventy
seven miles.
1t is no unusual thing to see three or
four advertising signs of business
houses of one kind and another grouped
at corner, and all of them showing a
different mileage to the same point. If
these signs are to indicate the exact
distance to the particular store of the
advertiser it might be we'll to say so
But as roadside information, it is not
only not helpful, but distinctly annoy
ing.
Another suggestion that might be
made is the elimination of signs in
dicating township limits. The writer's
experience has been that the moment
a stretch Of particularly bad road is
encountered this is the limit Of viii

legc. For instance, on the road lead.
ing into Freehold, where the good con-
crete comes abruptly to an end, there
is sign to say that this Is the town
limit of Freehold Highly unnecessary
A motorist with his eyes closed could
realize he had come to a village limit
at once Most of the towns apparently
run out of money for streets long be-
fore they get through spending it fol
signs.
Seriously, ID would be a very good
idea to clean up the entire existing
system of highway signs and to permit
the posting of those only that give ac.
ctrate information as to the exact dis
tance to the corporate limits Of the
cities indicated, or otherwise to specify
from what and to what points the in
d;cated distances are measured.
Under present conditions it is like
the famous and venerable anecdote OF
the man who walked along the road
ard saw sign reading Eight miles to
Frenchtown" and after another hours
walk saw another sign which read
eight miles TO Frenchtown." He said
"Thank God, we are holding our own

France Gets Worlds
Greatest Wireless Plant
Station a, Bordeaux, Designed
and Built by American Army,
Goes to Government

PARIS, July 26.-The Lafayette wire
less station near Bordeaux, designed
and erected by American forces durinc
the war, has been turned over to tho
French government. 1t is the most
powerful plant in existence. with
double the range of the Annanolis in
stallation.
The armistice found the station half
completed, and so the completion has
been slow. rs the urgent need of it no
longer existed. 1t is to be used as mart
of the comprehensive system planned
by the French service for~reachins all
French colonial points by wireless.
Eight towers of structural steel. each
within very few feet of the Wool
worth Building in height, are grouped
In two rows of four to support anten-
n9 that cover an aerial surface about
q mile long and fourth of a mile
wide. Each tower weighs $50 tons. as
compared with weight of 2,7oQ tons
for the Eiffel Tower in Paris, which Is
only fourth higher than the LAFAYETTE
structures.
The range of the station is more than
$4,000 miles, halfway around the
earth. Previously the largest French
station was that at Lyons. which works
easily with New York daily.

eleven national parks in the West is
set for August 25 in Denver. The Ma

it has been designated, traverses nine
Western states and forms the longest
scenic boulevard in the world. Con-
gress will be asked sooner or later to
hard surface this highway, composed
of parts of transcontinenta trails and
connecting roads.
There are Federal officials, including
Stephen T. Mather, Director of Ma

the establishment Of this continuous
motor highway, defining, as it does a
rough circle through almost half the
area of the United States, will be the
first step toward system Of Federal
highways running from coast to coast.

The market quotation on Panama
bonds yesterday was SOL to $1O2.
They have always been above par.
The editors of the Democratic column
seem to have about as hazy an idea
about national finances as they do
about county offices.
The quotation of SOL and 1O2
given above are for Panama bonds
due 1886 to 1888 bearing 2 per cent.
There are two issues bearing 3 per
cent which are quoted at $78 to $81.
Curtis was absolutely right in saying
that Panama bonds do sell above par.

Strange that the promoters of this
Cox-like story did not go to the treas.
urers office and get the facts. The
Reflector has looked into them. Mr.
Smith has In two years received from
one justice court $3.50, from another
about $50 and from the district
clerks office about 81, all paid to the
treasurer when collected. All other
fees were turned in by the court Of
ficers. Now If Treasurer Calkins' re-
ceipt Is not sufficient, Mr.. Smith
will probably accommodate by filing
the report of the $39.5O with the
county clerk, city clerk, city mar
shall, constable and the secretary of

commodating individual.
But-what cheap charge to
bring. County Attorney Smith has
saved the county thousands of dol
lars during his term. OF 1876 crimi-
nal cases in every case except FIVE,
where the criminal was caught, he
has secured plea Of guilty without
The expense of trial; three of those
who stood out were convicted and
only two were found not guilty. 1t Is

FOR TREASURER

The office Of treasurer of the
county is one Of much responsibility
1t not only calls for financial respon-
sibility but that of having the rec
ords correct. M. q. Calkins brought
to the office long training as ac-
countant and he has the office in most
perfect condition. His courtesy and
promptness have made him thousands
OF friends over the county and he
has given the county first class SER
vice that entities him to second
term. Few counties in the state have
so competent treasurer's force
and it must not be forgotten that in
Deputy Treasurer Giltner there is one
real worker with great ability. Mr..
Calkins will have, as he should, a fine
at the polls. Dickinson
needs just the sort of an officer he
has shown himself to be.
