Stereopticon Will ba Used in Cljratt-
Elks Building and Returns Flesh
ed on Bowen Building.
The people of Tifton, Tift county,
and the section adjoining, are invit
ed to be the guesta of the Gazette
and the Tift County Democratic
Committee for the election of Wood-
row Wilson Tuesday night, to re
ceive full return! from the national
election.
The returns received will be the
full Western Union bulletin ser
vice, and the people of Tifton will
get the very same news at the same
moment that it is given in Atlanta,
Macon, Savannah, and other of the
large cities in the South. The bul
letins will be complete in every de
tail, identical with those furnished
the large dailies of the country.
Arrangements are being made to
flash the returns by stereopticon
from the Clyatt-Elks building on to
a sheet on the wall of the Bowen
building opposite. The returns will
begin coming in by 8 o’clock,
possibly before, but it will be nearly
midnight, and perhaps after, before
the result is certain, unless a land
slide for one o r the other candidate
is apparent
The service has been secured
through the co-operation of the Tift
County Democratic Committee,
which is the “Wilson Club,’’ with the
Gazette; Mr. Judson Padrick, secre
tary of the committee, circulating a
subscription list for those to sign
who care to help bear the expense.
The Committee makes the follow
ing address to the Democrats of the
county; also gives information as to
arrangements for balloons being
sent up to indicate the resulta of the
election;
To the Democrats of Tift County!
Next Tuesday, November 7th, will
be a very vital day in the annals of
ou r political history. On that day
the American people will be called
upon to decide whether they will en
dorse the present administration; the
effort! of Woodrow Wilson to keep
our great country at peace with the
world; the Congress for the passage
of the greatest number of laws
which are and will act for the benefit
of the entire country. No President
has ever been confronted with so
many difficult and serious problems
and no man living could have per
formed his duty better; at all times
having the interest of humanity at
heart. The opposition is doing all
tossible to defeat him, and the race
a going to be a close one. Many of
you have been loyal to the cause of
your party, some by contributing to
the expense of the campaign, others
by upholding the administration.
Now we wish to call your attention
to a very important matter—your
vote—and that of your neighbor; do
not fail to get to the polls and vote,
and get every Democrat you can to
do likewise, and let Georgia, the
former home of our greatest Presi
dent, do him honor by giving him the
largest vote possible.
Balloons Bo Son! Up.
For the benefit of those who can
not be down town on election night,
and especially the people living in
the country, we are going to send up
a number of balloons which will indi
cate how the election is going. The
haloons are all the same color, but
if vou will read the following “code"
and keep it where it will be conveni-
etn on that night, you will be able
to tell what they indicate. We doubt
if it will be possible to tell without a
doubt who .is elected by 11 o’clock,
but the balloons will indicate the
news received. t*
Nina O'Clock.
If returns received up to 3 o'clock
favor Wilson, we will send up one
balloon. s
If favorable to Hughes, we will
send up no balloon.
Ten O'Clock.
If returns received up ti
o'clock favor Wilson, we will send
up two balloons.
If favorable to Hughes, we will
send up one balloon.
Eleven O'Clock.
If returns received up to 11
o’clock indicate the election of Pres
ident Wilson, look for three balloons.
If indicating the election of
Hughes, look for two balloons.
If the weathc r permits, and bar-
rine accidents, this code will be fol
lowed.

Little 3-Year-Old Girl’s Faca is j

A large bulldog belonging to Mr.
Addle Watson, living near Sumner,
became enraged Sunday and attack
ed Mr. Wataon’g little three-year-

face, neck and head seriously.

paws and teeth, and is in a serious
condition from fright and the
wounds made by the enraged ani

Watson, and later the head was sent
to Atlanta to the Slate Board of

be some time before she will be
fully recovered, especially from the
nervous shock, and her face and
neck will be aomewhat disfigured be

ately attacked the little girl which

stant companion and playmate.

THAT COUNTY LINE MATTER.
The following is from the General
Pftsentmenta of the Grand Jury of
Irwin Superior Court:
"Wo learn that the authorities of
Tift county contend tho line .
tween Tift and Irwin counties comes
to the Alapaha river and they re
fuse to pay for or maintain one-halt
of the county line bridges. We re
commend that the County Commis
sioner contend for half of this ex
pense and that ha ba authorised to
employ if needs be a surveyor and
an . attorney to bring auit to recover
Irwin county’s right in the matter.’’
As the Gazette understands tho
matter, the authorities of this coun
ty do not decline to pay what they
consider its part of the cost of coun
ty line bridges. The two counties are
rebuilding the Lennon bridge, across
Alapaha river. Commisaioner Gol
den, of Tift, takes the position that
half way the lake, or the run of the
river, is the line, and that h8 should
build only to thst point. The Com
missioner of Irwin, wo are Informed,
contends that the line ia on the east
ern side of tho lake. That appears
to be the difference, or the point of
contention.
CARD OF THANKS.
We wish to thank our doctors and
friends who gave us their undivided
attention and assistance during the
illness and in the death of my wife
and our daughter, Mrs. James M.
Walker, who recently died. We wish
for them God's blessings in their
journey through life.

EAT CROWN BOLLS.
Mr. D. Scarborough, of Tifton
Route 1, says it's all a mistake about
the boll weevil noj eating grown cot
ton bolls. He estimates that the
weevils have cut him out of $700
worth of cotton this fall on a three
horse farm, and he has the bolls to
show any doubters. The heaviest
damage was to his long staple cot
ton, the short staple crop being cut
off only a bale or so. He is firmly
of the opirion that the man who
tries to raise cotton in this county
next year faces failure.
Mr. Scarborough returned a few
days ago from a trip to West Flor
ida. He has bought a place below
Tallahassee, and expects to move
there with the new year.

MILK IN WINTER.
Why do your cows give less milk
in winter than they do in summer?
Just because nature does not sup
ply them with grasses and green
food. But we have come to the as
sistance of Dame Nature with A. B.
Thomas’ Stock Remedy which con
tains the very ingredients that the
green feed supplies in season, only,
of course, in a more highly concen
trated form. We guarantee this
remedy will make your cows give
more milk, and better milk, with the
same feed.—Phillips Mercantile Co.
