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. Tift County Wilson Campaign Com. TAX NOTICE, 2ND ROUND. Little 3-Year-Old Girl’s Faca is j Badly Disfigured.

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.

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. REV. CROUSE COMING. STATE FAIR OPENED.
