LOUIS STEIN'S BARGAIN
HAS LARGEST ADVERTISE¬
MENT EVER USED IN
THIS SECTION BEFORE.
Mr. Louis Stein, proprietor of
Stem’s Bargain Store, and one of
the most wide awake merchants, to
ever open a business in this city, is
carrying an entire section in to¬
day’s issue of The News, consist¬
ing of four full pages, which is the
largest display advertisement ever
used by a f’ovington merchant.
Mr. Stein came here from Atlanta
where he had been in the merchan
tile business and where the busi¬
ness. men know the worth of newspa¬
per advertising and is putting his
knowledge into his business,, thereby
drawing quite an extensive trade.
In his advertisement today he *s
offering many real bargains and
judging from the price® he is quot¬
ing he will do, an enormous business
through the season.
Mr. Stein is the husband of
ly Miss Ida Boos tin, of this city, who
has a large circle of friends and for¬
mer patrons who will be glad to
that she has returned here in busi¬
ness.
Besides Mr. Stein and his wife,
there are several other employees,
including Mrs. Emma Willingham in
the millinery department and Mr.
Richard Mobley in the met’® wear
line.
They are making a pull for busi¬
ness at this popular store and if the
manner in which he conducts tils ad¬
vertising and the prices he places on
his goods is an index, Mr. S,tein will
do a splended business among our
people.
Their store will be closed on Thurs
day of tfhis week in observance of
the Day of Atonement, usually kept
by the Jqfws.
for them all.
It is very probable that the con¬
test will he a tremendous, success
as the company selected by us to
conduct it is experienced, and han¬
dles the contests, for the big dally
papers, which guarantees absolute
fairness to all who enter the one to
be pulled off by the News.
COVINGTON, GEORGIA, OCT. 12, J9I0.
ELECTION WAS VERY
QUIET AFFAIR HERE
ALTHOUGH WATSON WORKED AT
THIS PLACE ONLY FEW VOT¬
ERS BOLTED THE PRIMA¬
RY OF AUGUST 23RD.
The general election of last Wed¬
nesday passed off very quietly in this
city and county, os it did in practi¬
cally every county in the state. Ow¬
ing to the fact that a slow rain was
falling in the forenoon a very light
vote was polled up to noon but later
on it picked up and during the after¬
noon the voting was brisk.
Although Hon. Thomas E. Watson
had worked this county and had en¬
deavored to persuade the voters to
vote against Hok» Smith for govern¬
or and vote independently for Gov.
Brown, hi® efforts here were without
much result, as the people of this
county nearly all stuck square up to
the nominee® of the primary of Au¬
gust 23rd, and gave their support to
those gentlemen selected at that
time.
In the vote in this county for
governor Hoke Smith received 680
and Joseph M. Brown received 60.
There were several tickets with the
name of Hoke Smith scratched out
and simply “Brown” written in, but
of course there are several men by
the name of “Brown” in Georgia,
and these ballots were thrown out.
The remainder of the ticket was vot¬
ed straight all the way through with
the exception of two or three devia¬
tions of a small number of votes.
It was, expected by many that Mr.
Watson would furnish independent
tickets for use in this county but
none appeared and the absence of
either tickets or “stickers” caused
considerable comment.
In the vote on the ratification of
the three amendments to the Constitu
tion, there were 93 of our citizens
who voted straight through them all
against the changes. The vote for
this special part of ticket was very
light, only about three hundred and
fifty voting either way.
The number of votes polled in the
county was 764.
COOK BROS., SELL OUT.
The firm of Cook Bros., dealers in
family and fancy groceries has chang¬
ed hands, Messrs. G. C. and C. I.
Taylor having purchased the stock
and good will of the firm last week.
The new firm will go under the title
of G. C. Taylor & Bro., Mr. G. C.
Taylor being for the past several
years with the Stephenson Hardware
Company, and Mr. C. I. Taylor having
recently come to this city from Way
cross, where he has been in business
for sometime.
The business will be conducted
along the same line as that done by
Cook Bros., and will at all times keep
everything for the table fresh and the
best quality.

In Honor of Rev. E. R. Pendletfifi.
One of the most brilliant church
reception which has occured in Pen¬
sacola for some time and one whidh,
in it® success attained is a compli¬
ment indeed to the planning and fine
management of the Ladies’ Aid of
the First Baptist church, wa® given
last night at the First church in
honor of Rev. Mr. Eugeine R. Pendle¬
ton, who ha® recently come here from
Georgia to assume charge of the First
Baptist cjhurch of Pensacola.
The members of the various Bap¬
tist congregations in the city were
present to meet the new pastor, ma¬
ny of the ministers of the other
church denominations represented in
Pensacola also being present to wel¬
come him.
The Ladies’ Aid, in whose hands
the entertainment of the evening
had been placed, served light refresh¬
ments, after introductions and pre¬
sentation® had been In order, a very
creditable and elaborate program fol¬
lowing.
The Rev. Mr. Pendleton comes to
Pensacola with the most flattering
of recommendations as one of the
foremost Baptist divine® of the south.
His presence in Pensacoia will, in¬
deed, m^in a great deal toward the
further development of the church of
which he assume® charge, and the
First Baptist people are to be con¬
gratulated upon securing so capable
a man.—Pensacola (Fla,) Journal.

REV. STERLING P. WIGGINS UN¬
DERGOES OPERATION IN OR¬
DER THAT HIS SISTER
MAY RECOVER.
Rev. S. P. Wiggins, formerly pas¬
tor of the Newborn Methodist
and who has preached in this city,
underwent an operation in, Atlanta
last week in order that ’ is sister,
Mrs. Bush, might be infused with his
blood and .have a chance to recover
from pellagra. Rev. Mr. Wiggins
scores of warm friends in this coun¬
ty wfho will read the following article
which appeared in Sunday’s Consti¬
tution with interest:
“In an effort to save his sister from
the ravages of pellagra, olne of the
most dangerous diseases which
ern physicians have been called upon
to treat within itihe 'last few years,
Rev. S. P. Wiggins, of
went on the operating table last
and gave her one pint of his blood.
“Mrs. Bush, bis sister, has been a
patient for some time at Wesley Me¬
morial hospital, suffering with
disease. The physicians there
that her condition might be greatly
improved by the infusion of fresh and
healthy blood.
“It is stated that thi® method of
treating the disease is one which
has been rarely used, hut which has
on a number of occasions proved a
success.
“Dr. Wiggins, who i® one of the
most prominent ministers in the
North Georgia Conference, came to
Atlanta last week and offered to give
up his blood. He was on the table
for three hours, it is stated, and is
now a patient at the hospital.
“He was scheduled to speak today
at the First Methodist church, but
as a result of the operation was too
weak to do so, and his place has
taken by Rev. Joel Daves, presiding
elder of this district, who will preach
at both services, in the absence, of
Dr. French.
“Mrs. Bush, it is .said, is somewhat
better.”

Editors Covington News:
I would gladly keep away from
your office if I could. I love The
News and the men who make it, and
I love the men who read it. God
has loved me and let me live past
four-score years. It is not safe for
man to be idle: the devil finds work
for idle hands. He is an old bush¬
whacker seeking whom he may de¬
vour. May I come with this article?
I take for my subject, unity. It means
the state of being one. David said
in Psalms 133, “Behold how good and
how pleasant it is for brethren to
dwell together in unity.” It is like
the precious ointment upon the head
that ran down upon the beard; even
Aaron’s beard, that went down to
the bottom of his garments. Unity
between God’s people is making a
great multitude of souls to live for¬
ever in heaven. Unity between hus¬
band, wife and children makes home
pleasant and brings a foretaste of
heaven. Unity between teachers and
pupils makes a success in our schools.
Unity with God’s minister and their
churches brings souls to Christ. Uni¬
ty with the states of America makes
her the greatest nation on earth; all
other nations fear her. Unity be¬
tween neighbors keeps off law-suits.
Unity between editors gives us honest
reading. Unity between the farmers
will save the world from a famine.
Unity between God, His Son and the
Holy Spirit, three in one, created
man and gave him a living soul that
will never die. Before he made man
in the covenant of grace he made a
way for all that would repent and be¬
lieve in him would go to heaven: all
who will not believe in him will go
to hell. Let us keep in unity with
our editors of The News, it will help
us all. Uncle John Roquemore.

LIVINGSTON WILL
PRACTICE LAW,
WASHINGTON, D. C., IS WHERE
GEORGIA CONGRESSMAN WILL
HANG OUT HIS SHINGLE.
SAYS DESPATCHES.
Colonel L. F. Livingston will take
up the practice of law in Washington
D. C., after the expiration of his term
in congress, says the Atlanta Geor¬
gian.
The report which emanated from
Washington, to the effect that Colo¬
nel Livingston was an applicant for
either the position of clerk of fihe
house or ,sergeant-at-arms of that
body, is emphatically denied by per¬
sons in Atlanta in a position to know.
It is also said that while Colonel
Livingston is not only an applicant
for either position, but that he would
not accept either if they were ten¬
dered him.
Colonel Livingston is now in Wash¬
ington perfecting arrangements to
take up the practice of his profession
after the first of the year.

GREAT RACES AMONG THE BIG
TRACK MEN IS PROMISED TO
THE FANS WHO ATTEND
ATLANTA SPEEDWAY.
Atlanta, Ga., October 12—In leas
than a month now automobiles by the
scores will be whirling around the
Atlanta Speedway. The fall meet at
the Georgia track will get going
^4ov. 3 and at that time there will
undoubtedly be gathered in Atlanta
more cars representing more factor¬
ies than ever before took part at
any race meet in America.
Already the local automobile asso¬
ciation has contracted for a number
of tents which will be used for the
machines that cannot be housed
in the 79 sheet iron garages located
in the infield of the Speedway. These
buildings can accommodate about 50
to 60 machines, along with( ^heir re¬
pair outfits, spare parts, tires and
general junk. The rest of the ™ -
chines will be looked out for in
tents.
It is likely too that this year, for
the first time, many of the teams
will establish camps at the track,
In order to be right on the grounds.
Already a few teams have reserved
camping space.
New cars galore have been naimed
for the Atlanta races tjhis week. The
National Moter Vehicle Co., ha® en¬
tered 3 cars and reserved the right
to put in two more, two, Parrys have
been promised, two McFarlan “Little
Sixes” have been entered, a Halli
day, a Lozier “6” and a Simplex have
all been entered within the last few
days. Thirty eight cars are now
positively entered, with almost as
many more in sight.
Work has been started on resur¬
facing a big strip of the back stretch
and more than a thousand dollars will
be spent for thi® purpose. In addi¬
tion to this the track will he exten
eively patched and a huge force of
men will be kept busy tamping down
the bumps, Instead of cutting them
off as has been t|ie practice in tho
past.
The News’ big Popularity Contest
opens next Saturday.
