Outlines Contest
In a statement prior TO the mass
meeting, Grade Galloway, Edinbur2
attorney, independent leader, stated
that all Texas-Mexican boxes we:e
practically solid in their vote for the
administration. The ten Texas-Mex-
lean boxes. he said, gave the admin
istration n vote Of 1852, as compared
to 2ls for the independent ticket.
Comparing this vote with the
vote in the town boxes" Mr.. Gala
way said, "our ticket carried every
box where the pre- onderance of the
votes were English speaking people,
except Mercedes and Edinburg." The
count announced by election Off
Gals at Mercedes was 1883 votes
were cast and final tabulation show
ed 1854 was the largest number
counted for the two candidates for
any office. 1t shows that something
like 200 or more votes were thrown
out and ! have reason to believe
those votes were for independent
candidates"
Basing his figures on the fact that
something like 10000 votes were
cast in the election, as announced
BY election officials at the time the
polls were closed, he said the final
tabulation of votes shows there were
between 1000 and 1900 votes thrown
out and he declared the majority Of
these votes were for the independent
candidates. All Of these votes. &C
cording to Galloway, were thrown
out either in the town boxes or
where the vote was split as TO Mex
lean and American votes. Not a
single vote was thrown out in the
solid Texas-Mexican boxes" Gala
way said.
That the contest will be based on
the vote Of the Texas-Mexican peo-
pie is the contention Of the leaders

Sides at Westbury
VIII Have Charge of Band Music in
Splendid New School

L. r. Sides, former superin-
tendent of the Chapel Hill
school, came from New York
last week and stopped over in
Chapel Hill for day or so on
his way to Albemarle. Since
last fall he has been pursuing
advanced studies in band music
in Columbia University.
Before he left the metropolis
he entered into a contract to
serve next year as supervisor of
band music in the high school at
Westbury. That town, which is
in the heart of the multi-mil-
lionaire belt on Long Island, has
a splendid new school, and the
school board and superintendent
are deeply interested in develop
ing the boys band. They en-
gagged Mr.. Sides after learning
of his work at Columbia and Of
his success in training groups
of youthful musicians in. and
around the city. Besides carry
ing on full study schedule he
was occupied, in the afternoons
and sometimes in the evenings,
as an instructor and conductor.
His brother, Robert Sides,
who was prominent in athletics
here in the University two years
ago, is to be director of ath-
letics at Westbury.

son house one morning last
week. Mack Lee was in the
woods nearby hunting terrapins.

gine came dashing down the
street.

said his grandmother. "He
loves to see the engines"
The engine stopped and it's
crew came running toward the
Henderson house.

Venable. what are they COM
ing in here for?"
She walked around the corner
of the house and at the front
door met Alex, the negro man
servant, and he told her the oil
stove in the kitchen had caught
fire. He had summoned Mr..
Henderson, who was engaged in
literary pursuits above stairs,
to put it out. But the water Mr..
Henderson dashed upon it had
not worked a cure.
The fire company quenched
the flame promptly.

Major Gains Big Fish
Mathematician Pulls in Big Mackerel
Near SwahRshOrO

Major William Cain, fishing
in the waters near Swannsboro
in eastern North Carolina last
week, achieved one of the great
successes of his successful ca
reer. After a spirited struggle
he pulled into the boat a Spanish
mackerel that weighed nearly
five pounds.
The 81-year-old mathemati-
clan and his crony, General
Davidson of Asheville, two years
his senior, were ON their annual
fishing pilgrimage together.
They had only fair fortune un-
til the mackerel seized the Chap
ell Hillian's hook, and then be-
gan a battle royal. With Cen
eral Davidson looking on in ad-
miration, Major Cain exercised
the skill which he had acquired
in more than fifty years of deep
water angling. The hopeful
bellicosity which the fish dis
played at the outset faded rapid
ly into despair as he struggled
against the active wits and
steely wrist of a master fisher
man.
Major Cain had to come back
earlier than he expected because
his companion was taken i'll.
This is all that saved the mack
erel colony around Swannsboro
from further slaughter.
