JOB WORK A SPECIALITY

The Democratic landslide mov-
ing steadily across the country
reached the Thirty-seventh Con-
aressional District of New York
ON April 18th, and crushed a Re
publican plurality of $4,000 down
to 5000, with every city in the
district Democratic. The con-
test was for the seat of Alanson
B. Houghton, recently appointed
Ambassador to Germany, and
Democratic candidate was Judge
Frank Irvine, who made an ag-
gressive campaign which attract,
ed the attention of the nation.
On its way to New York the
Democratic landslide took in the
city of New Britain, Conn, re-
sulting in the election of a Demo
crat for mayor, who defeated the
Republican incumbent, thus com
pleting the list OF Democratic
mayors in all the large cities OF
Connecticut.
The most significant thing a
bout the special Congressional
and the regular municipal cleo
tions this year is that they have
invariably shown either positive
Democratic victories or tremen
dous Democratic gains.

The strike of the textile work
ers in the New England mills is
causing those far-seeing manu-
facturers to turn their eyes South
ward, where electrical power is
plentiful, labor more satisfactory
and production costs lower, and
the mills be closer to the raw
material.
There is not a more healthy
section in the world than right
here in Richmond county, and
many reasons could be given
that should convince the North
ern capitalists that the territory
around Rockingham would be
ideal for their consideration. Our
people should get awake to the
possibility.

If the Summer of 1922 is alb
normally hot, no one will be
more surprised than the 'scienti-
fic weather observers. A Penn.
slyvania hunter and trapper is
predicting that this Summer will
be the coldest since 1879 when
the corn ears were frozen on
the stalks" Meterologists will
not scoff at this Yankee oracle
A summer not too hot is not un.
likely, for the reason that in 1921
there was an accumulated excess
of over a thousand degrees, and
even since January the 1st the
temperature has been higher than
normal. AS a matter of fact, the
accumulated excess" has con.
tinued for almost twenty months
What goes up will to come down
1t is time for the pendulum tc
swing the other way for a season
or two. Here's hoping our Rich.
mond county crops will not be
hurt in the swing.

THE crave for notoriety, the
love of money or the desire of
two fans for two tree season
tickets to ball games was the
compelling cause of an unusual
marriage last week in Atlanta.
The manager of the Atlanta
team had announced he would
give $50 and two season tickets
to any couple who would have
the knot tied at the home plate
at the ball park just before the
Atlanta and Chattanooga teams
took the field for the opening
Southern League game on April
18th. A man named Gordon
Flowers copied the reward, he
and his girl standing on the
home plate before some $4,000
people and having the ceremony
performed. And the report is
"the fans gave them a domonstra.
ton fit for a home run king"
