LITTLE LOCALS
Twenty-Five Bales of Cotton
Were WEIGHED the Past Week.

J. Frost reigned supreme practical
ly all last week, and the few bales Of
cotton which were brought in to the
different warehouses numbered in the
teens. The total in Dawson this morn
ing numbered 9,7o2 bales, in Parrott
3,47S bales, in Sasser 1664 bales and
in Bronwood 1859 bales, making a
total Of 1928 bales for the county

POLITICS PAST AND PRESENT

w. w. Thomas believes he can beat
the beaten in playing "barnyard golf"
in Belington, and has strong inten-
sions of challenging anyone in the
Mountain State.
B. B. Rohrbough staunch democrat
was so well pleased over the election
that he took little shout, and said
he was thankful for small blessings,
if nothing more than a Justice Of
Peace.
Jeff Ballah is slowly lowering his
seven pictures of John w. Davis, out
of view.
L. D. Cook who wanted "MacAddo-
doodle-do, now says Coolidge will do.
" E. George says the way up Salt
River is dry, but he knows the way.
He watts to get boy togather up all
his old pictures so he can usre them
again in another campaign, and like
Bill Street, get there "some day."
By the way, "Uncle Bill'' has just
issued a guide to those taking the
Salt River route. The guide that he
has contains many pages, and is as
interesting as the book by Marco Polo.
Hugh Byrer says he calculates going
to Charleston this winter, if we gets
back from up Salt River.
"Ma" Ferguson, who was elected
Governor of Taxas, can now tell her
husband that she is the big boss.
Jake Fisher will take back bench
when he sees that 10000 plurality
that Howard Gore gets.
Those republican Guys" who help
defeat Simon and Stemple voted with
vengeance. Bet blind man could
read their ballots.
After all we can't help, admiring
the Democrat who believes he is right
We have no quarrel to make with
any man because his politics does
not correspond with ours. We, in
doing our duty as Republican edi-
tor, made strong arguments for the
Republicans cause and many times
made some democrats feel bad, no
doubt, but any one who doesn't agree
with us, let him come back in writ
ing and we will gladly publish his
article.
But now, as the election is over let
us get down to business. The Ele-
plant and Donkey have had our goat
long enough; let's turn them loose.

ARMISTICE DAY A FACTOR FOR
PEACE OF UNIVERSE, PRESI-
DENT TELLS LEGION

WASHINGTON, Nov 2-Observ-
ance of Armistice Day. November IL
is factor in bringing about perman-
ent world peace, Presidnet Coolidge
said in letter to National Command
er Drain of the American Legion made
public tonight.
Prior to the inclusion of Armistice
Day in American national holidays,
the President wrote, all the anniver-
saries abserved had been of purely
national significance.
Armistice Day, however, "took its
place as the one in whose celebration
we will always be drawn closer to
other peoples who stand for liberal
institutions"

THE NEXT LYCEUM NUMBER

! The Apollo Duo which will be
heard here on Wednesday night Nov
| 18th at the High School Auditorium
as the Second number of the Lyceum
series, is composed of Mr.. and Mrs
Arthur Wells, known to all Lyceum
audiences through their connection
| with the Apollo Concert Company
which for many years was one of the
most popular attractions on the plat
J form.
! Arthur Wells is just 800 pounds of
fine fun and music. He is an artist
/ of first rank on the banjo, on saxo-
! phone and on the bassoon. He tells
dialect stories in an inimatable way
and his readings are invariably re-
! ceived with the greatest enjoyment
Alta R. Wells is gifted and grac-
ious artist on the piano and saxo-
phone, and also features vocal solos
and pianologues.
+ The program by these two artists
has an air of professionalism, which
coupled with the splendid personali-
ties of the performers make it ire
/ mendously popular with the audience
They give clever musical sketches
and their saxophone duets are ex-
ceptionally fine.
Press comment from all over the
United States, Canada, Panama and
Australia are most flattering. From
Wellington, Zealand, we hear-"Mr
| Wells can invest the banjo with a
charm and dignity of Beethoven
minuet. 1t seems as if the very
sound of all his selections were trans
ferred to the instrument.
From Stratford, Ontario Mrs.
Wells is possessed of a remarkably
rich contralto voice which has an I'M
usual, appealing tone. She also
gained great favor in her pianolog-
ues". From Portsmouth, Ohio-Mr.
and Mrs. Wells won the audience at
once with their witty remarks and
bright genial smiles. They displayed
not worthy dramatic ability in their
clever renditions, while Mrs. Wells
pianologues was the most applauded
number on the program"

COOLIDGE WINS

ported in the Senate, although Sena

late for the seat now held by Senator
owen of Oklahoma, we're trailing far
behind their Republican opponents.
In New York state Gov. Alfred T..
Smith apparently had won a re-elec-
ton over Theodore Roosevelt, whose
defeat had been conceded by the Re-
publican state chairman Governor
Donahey of Ohio, also Democrat,
was in the lead in his fight for re-
election despite an Indicated heavy
Coolidge majority in that state. In IL
linois, Governor Small, Republican,
kept a comfortable margin over his
Democratic adversary.
In two states, Texas and Wyoming,
women candidates for governor were
ahead on the face Of returns. Both OF
them are Democrats and are the wives
Of former governors of their states.
AS returns continued to come in the
plurality of President Coolidge over
John w. Davis and Senator La Fol-
lette in California mounted to a ma
jority of 100000.
LA TOILETTE SHOWING POOR
Califorfia's big plurality for Cool
ldge, estimated at nearly 100000, was
a surprise. Prediction polls in that
state indicated that La Toilette would
carry Northern California, but that
Coolidge would win in tue southern
end.
These calculations have been upset
by the La Toilette vote. and California
went into the Republican column by
satisfying majority.
La Follette's weakness in the pres
Idential contest was one OF the big
surprises to the whole country. All
prediction forecasts made by the
Coolidge managers were on the basis
that the race was between Coolidge
and La Toilette and that Davis would
be third In the vote. The exact OPP
posite proved to be true, as Davis ran
a close second to Coolidge in many OF
the states where La Toilette was be-
lieved to be strong and it was only in
the western states that La Fcliette
showed any real strength.
CUTS INTO DAVIS VOTES
In the states of the East where La
Toilette made his last stand in the
campaign the results show that he
cut heavily into the Davis vote and
did more to injure Davis chance OF
election than to head off Coolidge.
Toward the close of the campaign
Republican managers made La Fol-
lette the chief issue in the campaign,
and the returns show the effectiveness
Of this strategy
Republican managers were especial
ly gratified to find Nebraska, home
state of Governor Bryan, Democratic
nominee for vice president, swing in
to the Republican column behind Cool
ldge. There were indications either
La Toilette or Davis might carry the
state, but latest figures give 1t to
Coolidge by 10000 vs.ss.
