According to the official coun
of the bond election held on Mon
day of last week the majority as frs
announced was changed somewhat
the final count being 1896 against 416
which was first announced, these fig
ures having been reported by return
ing officers. In the beginning of the
campaign considerable opposition
doomed up in certain sections of the
county, but it is gratifying 10 note
that two gentlemen, who were active
in opposing the bond issue, are per-
fectly satisfied with the result and
ave openly stated that they will as
sist in every way possible to further
the best interests of the county. 1t
is also gratifying to note that many
who opposed the issue in the begin
ming of the campaign soon saw the
error of their way of thinking and
became strong supporters before the
election, and should the campaign
continued for two weeks longer
much larger majority would have re-
suited. 1t is now up to every good
citizen of the county to throw aside
the selfish and prejudice spirit and
join in making old Pickens one of the
best counties south of the Mason and
Dixon line. We are peculiarly situat-
ed in a territory of a great promise
Our lands are adapted to the growing
of all crops with an excellent climate
and when this highway is built and
tourists begin coming our way the
eyes of some of our people are going
to pop from their sockets as a farm
er here and there will obtain fancy
price for his farm, provided, of course,
he wants to sell. We do not be-
lieve there will be many farms Of
ferred for sale for the reason that
our people seem perfectly satisfied
and feel that they are living in the
garden spot of the world Occasion

Getting aboard an ocean liner is like going to heaven, imagine or to whatever place your ticket calls for when you take your last voyage.
 You drop off the planet. For week you have no newspapers. The world has ceased You are rather stunned by the silence. Humanity has suddenly con- racted from the globe to the steamer deck You have ceased being citizen of continent and have become citizen of fly speck.
 At the first meal in the dining saloon you look ln- quirngly around at the people.
 The thing that strikes you is how dreadfully con- monplace they all look.
 You have had that same sensation when you went to live in town. You had got used to the Smlths Browns and Robnsons of Saugatuck, where you came from but these people in South Bend look like animals or play actors than like human beings.
 Here is girl with smrk that reveals perfect graveyard of tOmbStOneS, and that looks like an ostrich, and greasy-looking who eats amaz- ing quantities of food, and loud child, and an aWk- ward rcketty looking sef-conscious boy and squlrm- ing thrteen-yearod girl apparently always tying her self into hard knots, and stoopshouldered, grouchy old man, and with worn face and an ex- pansive srnile and smart-aeck youth, and young lady who knows she's pretty, and husbandless mar ried woman who is enjoying her liberty and so many interesting men.
 And they are all so different And what is differ ent is nstinctively disiked After day or so we be- accustomed to these people and discover that they are really not so bad. We form affinities and new antiquities, just we had at home

The Slaughter ok Husbands

The other day a woman aged 70. convicted of the murder of her husband and sentenced to the peni- tentiary for seventeen years. observed with some bitterness that if she had been young and handsome the result of her trial would been different. Perhaps SOS quite likely Jurymen who rule apt leniently inclinedi to beauty in dstress
 No doubt objects of jurymen's solcitude should be punished, but it seems impossible to punish them. should pslnish those who not young and handsome. Because some criminals, be- cause of their wealth. influence beauty, break through net, should not let those go whom we hold
 The only moral to be deduced from this incident women who no longer young and handsome have no hunting license tn murder their husbands
 There are enough husbands being murdered by those who possess the qualifications of youth and beauty We can hardly the pages of a newspaper any day without finding new record of husba nd murder. If prevail upon the aged and homely wives refrain from indulgence in a national psstime which dividing honors with base bah and prizefighting. some of the husbands yet living may be preserved to green old age
 If we could way would protect husbands against adolescent and pulchritudinous ,rsxes ss well but since cannot, under the jury system we must do the best we can and save as many as possible from wives past forty and no longer fair.

Phoenix Republican,
 Phoenix. Arizona.
 Gentlemen:
 I noticed in your paper of July 15. an article from Phoenix, in regard to Dewey Campbell escaping from me while I was taking him back to Phoenix. This is not correct, as he had escaped from the hospital at Phoenix, and was caught at Gleeson and brought to Tombstone. l tele- phoned the hospital that we had him and as he had escaped from the hos pital, they sent guard for him. Campbell was turned over to this guard. who strapped his hands a d started with him. When reaching the door outside the court house, Campbell made a dash and got away, outrunning the guard and him having his hands strapped to his side. It being very dark night, it was inn possible to see him.
 It is also a mistake about him burning two houses. It was only one house, and I believe that was an accident There was an cid cook stove in the house aud Campbell said he built fire in it to do some cook ing. There was no stovepipe on il and the sparks flew out while he was in another room and set fire to the house. Campbell had gotten the fire hose, a short distance away and tried to eXtinguish the fire, but Il had too much of start on him, SC he turned the water on the build ing adjoining and saved it. and wher the nightwatchman arrived the wat, was turned on the old hospital. whici probably would have burned i Campbell had not turned the hose or it.
 Thanking you if you will correc this mistake, I remain
 Yours respectfully.

REApER. MEET MAay,

Our said editor has informed me that quite a few Of our Camelback readers were curious to know what this said Mary" looked like so to please them I'm going to try and give them perfect description. I might have dumpy forehead and big feet and be short and fat. but be SO sweet and nice that no one would notice those defects But if this is all that was mentioned in an advertisement the advt. consumers would only mo- tice the .'dumpy forehead and ..big feet and let it go at that and Mary's sterling qualities would never be known. I can't tell what color my eyes are, or the color of my hair or how many cubic inches long and wide I happen to be. but can give you a description that I don't think any one would find me by. one that was writ ten by sweetheart long. long time and. and although I don't and never did care anything about him I do think he couldn't have written what he did without having just a little spark of feeling-following copy. slang and all -.
 I don't know why I'm so jealous of you but I seem to get it into my head that every fellow that looks at you seems to want you. know you hate to have me that way but your so big hearted and happy no matter what seems to go wrong, it seems vour always the same and good I know you'll laugh at the Good but you are, and YOU don't know how good and pretty you look to me.
 What girl hasn't at some time or other had sort of description writ ten to her by some admirer or other think boys are all something alike for this one happens to be married and has a family of two children, and might mention that at the time write one of the kids" is suffering from whooping cough.
 I might even give you my last name and you would come into the Republican circulation deuarfment and say-"There sits the little inn in the corner" Didn't she have her nerve" But won't even do that I wonder if our editor could pick me out from the said description, but I defy any of our readers to come back to "our" department and pick me out from MT.
