Voters Will Have to Use generate
Tickets In Election o n May 1.
The state Democratic executlvo
committee, tnrough Its chairman,
has ruled tost different tickets will
have to he used la tha elections on
the Ant ot May.
In other words, the ticket caiipot
contain th* names of the presiden
tial preferences and the county of
ficers at tho same time. Sepavcto
tickets will have to bo used nmt a
separate ballot box will also have
to be uoed. This will amount to
two separate eloctlona.
The Tlmee does not know exactly
the object ot this ruling and we do
not attempt to say that It Is arbi
trary and unreasonable, though
hoe that appearance to ua. Secre
tary Copeland, of the county exec
utive committee, wrote to Chairman
Wright Informing him that the elec
t'on for county ofllcerx would hi
held In this county on tho canto day
av the election to name choloe for
presidential candidates, and asked
It tho county candidates could not
he put on the name ticket with tho
presidential candidates, so that the
voter* could etrlke all at tbe same
time. It waa thonght that this
would bring out a larger vote and
would canto leas confusion.
But the chairman did not see It
that way. As a matter ot fact, the
present executive commutes seems
to want all ot tho contusion that
ran ho brought about In the matter
of holding elections. The commit-
has sought to servo a single
proposition and a single candidate,
hnt It It doss not mind Its action
will prove a boomerang to It and to
Its man. ^

during the entire year;
Miss Burdette waa followed by
Miss Elisabeth Taylor with a class
from the third grade of tho Valdos
ta schools, showing how a lesson in
reading-should be' prepared and ro
otled.
Miss Taylor's work showed a very
high order of training and pays
tribute to the good work being done
by her dally.
The teachers feel very grateful
for the aid rendered them In thdr
work by these young ladles.

August was mors cheerless, II
possible, than the summer months
already passed,. Ice was tormsd half

frosen that tho greater part was. cut
down and dried for fodder. Almost
everything green was destroyed,
