THE ELECTION
FOR CONGRESSMAN
The election for congressman for the
Fifty-Eighth Congress of the United
States, from the 3rd Congressional Dis
trict of Georgia, passed off very quietly
yesterday, lion. E. B. Lewis of Mon
tezuma, being elected without opposi
tion. On accuunt of our going to press
last night we nre unable to give the
total vote as the returns from the ru
ral districts could not be secured The
vote as secured from the town districts
is as follows: Vienna (7th) district
103; Cordele 327; Pinehurst district 27.
The reason of the large vote at Cordele
is due to the fact that a nomination
for municipal officers was held there at
the same time, one serosa the hall from
the other. •

THIRTY THOUSAND DOLLAR CHINA SET
Mr*. Roosevelt Has Ordered One Per
the White House, Constating
of l,3a6 Pieces.
A complete new set of china hat
been ordered by Mrs. Roosevelt for
the White House to harmonize with
its restored and renovated interior.
It forms the state dinner service,
and its various pieces are $,336 in
number. It wilt cost $30,000,
which, of course, the government
pays.
This dinner service is a national
institution and monument of
American domestic furniture. It
was selected by Mrs. Roosevelt
after a vast amount of thought and
trouble, and its selection undoubN
edly shows remarkable taste and
intelligence.
The set was made by the historic
Wedge wood factory of England,
und is of simple colonial design.
The wisdom of this choice will bn
seen when the architecture of the
White House is considered and the
character of the furniture at the
time the government was founded,
The dinner service is un important
mutter in the White House. The
lust was purchased in 1880, during
the administration of President
Hayes and for some time past hat
been inadequate for state and other
occasions. The last service was
designed by Theodore R. Davis and
Uustrated exclusively fauna und
flora. It was manufactured by
Huvilcnd hnd Co., at Limoges,
France. The designs of this service ;
were made in water color and al
though in nearly every instance
they were bold and striking, they
were difficult to reproduce upon
porcelain in hard mineral colors,
and to successfully accomplish this
it was necessary to invent new
methods und have recourse to
peculiar mechanical appliances.
The service was made to be used
particularly for state occasions,
Through breakages and wear and
tear it has become inadequate for
use.
Several months ago Mrs. Rooie*
velt commissioned Charles M. Van
Heusen, ot the Van Heusen, Chns,
Co., of Albany, NJ."Y„ to visit the
noted factories with the idea of
submitting a collection of samples
for Mrs. Roosevelt’s inspection,
Seventy-eight different and exclus*
ive designs were submitted.
The service selected is simple
colonial pattern in gold with the
obverse or front ol the great seal of
the United States enamelled in
color. The coffee and tea cups are
very simple in design and ,ure
decorated in the 6ame manner as
the plates.
The design selected has been
patented und copyrighted for the
exclusive use of the White House.
The executive designs will not be
sold outside the White House under
any consideration.
