around 1000 in the last report obtained

the Independents that they have won
both the Senate and House majority
although the figures are not complete.

the state ticket cannot be determined.

slightly stronger than O'Connor, the
outcome is uncertain. 81 F. ..s. :.
The Inflated laws are running
stronger than O'Connor, and with q
slight change from over the state the
laws will be adopted. ..3sfySS

Another.

Two petitions, one for an increase
in alimony and the other for a re-
duction, were filed yesterday in the
District Supreme Court.
Balm Farr, whose wife, Mrs.
VaIice Farr, was awarded a limited
divorce in March, 1917. asked the
court to vacate the order requiring
him to pay her $50 a month alimony.
Farr alleges that at the time the
order was made his wife was earn
ing $50 a month, but now, he al
leges, her salary has risen to $3.50
as an employe OF the Southern
Railway. He earns but $50 a onthm.
Farr claims, and can hardly meet
his own expenses.
