WOODROW WILSON IS
ELECTED PRESIDENT.
Indications Point to Biggest Democratic Vic¬
tories in History of Party, Many of the
Doubtful States in Wilson Column.
democrats control u. s. senate and congress.
From the latest reports obtainable
this. Wednesday, morning, it is a
certainty tha. Woodrow Wilson dem¬
ocratic nominee for the presidency
of the United States, was elected by
an overwhelming majority in the na¬
tional election yesterday.
Theodore Roosevelt, leader of the
Progressive or Bull Moose party, was
second in the running, having carried
more states than President Taft, of
the old-line or stand-pat wing of the
Republican party.
Latest reports say positively that
Wilson had carried California, the
home of Governor Johnson, Roose¬
velt’s running mate and wHich had
been conceded to the Bull Moose.
Wilson carried New York by a big
majority, and Massachusetts is safely
in the Wilson column. These are
the largest states and with this lead
there is a hardly a possibility of de¬
feat for the democrats.
The Wilson-Marshal ticket came
in strong in practically all the doubt¬
ful states, where they piled up good
majorities. The betting in the larger
cities went up to as high as four-to
one for the democratic candidate.
Eugene Dobbs, the socialist candi¬
date, of course, did not get anything
in the way of electoral votes. And
Chafin, the prohibition candidate, also
failed to tally.
Reports sent out state that there
is no probability of a deadlock in the
electoral college, Mr. Wilson going
A WEST Virginia farmed hid his money
and valuable papers “safely” away in a hay
stack.
One night a tramp came along and
crawled close to the haystack to take a
quiet little smoke.
Next morning a pile of smoking ashes
was all that was left of hay or money.
“He was very foolish,” say you?
Yes, and how much wiser is he who
keeps his money and valuable papers at
home, when our modern fire and burglar
proof deposit vaults offer absolute and guar¬
anteed safety?

in within with a sufficient majority
over both his opponents to elect him
on the first ballot.
Returns show that the democrats
have also returned ai majority of
members to the lower house of con¬
gress, and it looks like now that we
will also control the senate.
Joseph G. Cannon, of Illinois, one
of the biggest republicans in con¬
gress, and speaker of the house last
term, was defeated in his district, the
majority being something like ten
thousand for his opponent.
Latest reports say that 144 counties
in Georgia went for Woodrow Wil¬
son and the other two went for Mr.
Roosevelt. Some apprehension had
been felt for Georgia, owing to the
rule this state was operating under
but he carried the state by a larger
majority than did the democratic can¬
didate over Mr Taft four years ago.
The largest vote polled in Newton
county in a long time in a presiden¬
tial election, was polled Tuesday. All
the returns are not yet in, but there
will show approximately one thous¬
and votes polled. Out of that num¬
ber Roosevelt will get less than sev¬
enty-five and Taft less than fifty.
The people of the county and espe¬
cially the original Wilson following,
are very proud of this vote, as New¬
ton county went for Oscar Underwood
in the May primajry.
Watson’s thirty thousand votes as
conceded to him for Roosevelt, failed
to materialize at the polls, another
thing the democrats of Georgia are
proud of.

tically been completed and it will

special entertainment will be had for

Mr. Lester Lee, the proprietor of
the new enterprise, has spared neith¬
er money or pains to make of the
City Pharmacy a place equalled by
few and surpassed by no drug store
in ai small city in the state. He has
had all '’he front changed and the
interior is a thing of beauty. Both
the front and the fixtures for the
dnug store will be the very latest
and most attractive ever seen in this
city, and in faict his place has been
pronounced as some ten or twenty
years ahead of the city.
Associated with him in the drug
store w 5 '/ be Dr R. D. Archer, Mr.
Roy Hays in the drug and prescrip¬
tion department, and Mr. Harry Davis
will preside at the fount. These
young men are aill well and favorably
known to the people of the city and
their friends are invited to come to
see them at their new place.
Mr. Lee has his own electric light
plant in connection with the drug
store, and the electrical fixtures and
fans are of the most modern ajnd ap¬
proved patterns. The new City Phar¬
macy is in keeping with progress
and Mr. Lee deserves the commenda¬
tion of the people of the city gener¬
ally in making of it one of the most
attractive in the country.
Formal notice of the exact time
for the opening will be issued in the
form of circulars today or tomorrow,
and in advance all the force at the
new place invite their friends to be
present and see just what a nice
place they have.

COTTON SEED SEPARATORS
BEING SOLD IN THIS CITY.
The Cotton Seed Separator com¬
pany, of Louisville, Ky., has a very
uniiue majah'ne on the market in this
county which is attracting the at¬
tention of the progressive planters.
The machine is for the purpose of
separating the good cotton seed from
the bad, and it is claimed that with
the seed run through the machine
the yield of cotton is very materially
increased. It is also claimed that
on a one-horse farm the machine
will pay for itself twice the first sea¬
son and will last a life time.
Mr. J. Adger Stewart, who wais
reared in this city, is the proprietor
of the company manufacturing the
machine in Louisville.
NEGRO BOUND OVER
FOR BEATING HORSE
MAYOR SMITH GAVE HIM HEAVY
FINE FOR DISORDERLY CON¬
DUCT AND A JUMP-BACK
TO THE STATE COURTS.
At the regular mayor’s matinee on
Monday morning, Charles Colquitt, a
negro drayman, was fined $10.00 and
costs and bound over to the Superior
court in the sum of $100, to answer
the charge of cruelty to an’mals.
From 3 evidence produced at the
mayor’s matinee, Colquitt was driving
ai horse which had been giving him
some trouble and after he had deliv¬
ered some packages at the residence
ofl Mr. Muse, on Floyd street, the
horse gave him some more trouble,
and he beat the animal unmercifully
Jath the end of one of the shafts
which had broken.
Ladies in thaf end of town were
very much wrought up over the af¬
fair and called for the police to come
down and stop it. A case was made
and he was haled before the mayor
with the above stated results.
In Covington the mayor camnot im¬
pose a fine for cruelty to animals, as
that is a state law, but Mayor Smith
gave him a fine for disorderly con¬
duct and bound him over to the Su¬
perior court. In binding him over,
Mr. Smith gave him some good ad
|vice, but cold him thait if there was
any way to send him to the chain
gang for he offense he had been
guilty of, lie would see that is was
done.
There have been several reports
recently to the city authorities about
cruelty to horses and Mayor Smith
says tl ere is ainy way to put a
stop to it he is going to do it.

COUNTY SCHODLS
ARE DPENING
LIVINGSTON HIGH SCHOOL IS
OPENED UNDER VERY FLAT¬
TERING PROSPECTS FOR
A SUCCESSFUL YEAR.
The 28th of October was marked by
the opening of the public schools
throughout the county. Truly, an
important event. We trust that aill
the schools in the county will have
a scholastic year characterized by
greater usefulness than ever before.
At Livingston High School the full
corps o£ teachers were present, in¬
cluding Mr. Miser as principal, with
his assistants, Miss Sophia Behr, Miss
Madge Cowain and Miss Ruth Downs.
We had as visiors, Professor H.
H. Stone, of Oxford, chairman of the
County Board of Education, and Rev.
John G. Logan, pastor of the Coving¬
ton Methodist church. Quite a num¬
ber of the trustees and patrons ajlso
testified by their presence that they
appreciated the occasion and felt
proper inteiest In teachers and pu¬
pils. After the exercises had been
opened by songs and prayer, Profes¬
sor Stone and Mr. Logan gave us
capital tailks on public school educa¬
tion, as designed to prepare boys
and girls for business pursuits, and
for the various relations of life, so¬
cial, political, domsetic and religious.
Other gentlemen present stressed vi¬
tal points connected with the wel¬
fare of schools, such as the superior
educational advantages now enjoyed
by the young, the necessity of obe¬
dience and the importance of co-oper
; ation on the part of patrons and trus¬
tees with the teachers in enforcing
discipline and promoting the interest
of the school
Altogether, the exercises were
highly entertaining and instructive.
The teachers enter upon their work
with a keener sense of responsibili¬
ty and with a most earnest desire to
profit the pupils and give satisfaction
to the patroas. ***
Trade Was Good Yesterday.
The usual first Tuesday crowd wajs
in the city yesterday, and trade was
fairly good with the merchants. It
reminded us of the crowds which at
one time made Covington their mec
ca—the horse swappers were out in
full force, and trading wajs lively.
