Ninety-two were for Senator Underwood and 333 were non-com mital. Cohen’s Comment. Atlanta.—“T.ie smashing victory in Texas, where McAdoo won by 4 to 1 over Underwood, and McAdoo’s decisive victory in the state of Washington show that the South and West have united upon him as the outstanding man in the Democratic party for the Presidential nomina tion,” declared Major John S. Co hen, new 'nationals committeeman from Georgia, commenting Monday upon the most recent McAdoo tri umph. “When the favorite sons are elim inated, the Solid South will be in line and already McAdoo has fifty more votes than Wilson had on the first ballot at Baltimore.

BURIED A HUNDRED YEARS BODY STANDS UPRIGHT After lying peacefully in the grave for more than ' a hundred years, the remains of two former citizens of this town stand upright above the place of their long sleep, as the result of the terriffic storm which swept this section last week. Buried in the old cemetery sa long ago that no mark is left to show who the dead were, and so long ago that a massive oak tree had grown up over the graves, two skeletons were raised above the level of the ground and stood almost upright when tha tree was uprooted by the storm. The roots of the tree seem to have grown around the coffins, wrapping them completely up, and while the coffins have long since gone to decay, these roots have formed a new casket, in which the remains have lain until raising by the falling -of - the great oak. CITY WATER AGAIN SAVES THE TOWN The cottage on Railroad Avenue, owned by Mr. John Oakes and occu pied by Mr. and Mrs. Manson Styles was discovered on fire about 9 o’clock Thursday morning and only an abundant supply (!f . city water and quick action of volunteer fire meri saved several hbmes from des truction. Mrs. Styles was busy in the home when the fire was discovered be tween the ceiling and the roof and the response to the fire whistle alarm was almpst instantaneous. Practically the entire contents of the house were removed to nearby home with little damage. The house, a four room wood structure, was badly bqrned, most of the damage being to the roof. A slow rain and no wind aided the fight to save this and other structures. The cottage is next door to the home of Mr. John Oakes and on the south is a cottage owned by Mr. Lish Oakes and occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Willis Day. SEND US YOUR JOB WORK The N ews-Herai ,d OAKLAND.

You have added to the list of valuable services to the state by this work.” Dr. L. L. Knight, State Historian: “It is a wonderful contribution to the state's history which Mr. Mc- Lendon has made; —a wonderful contribution to Americana.” Dr. N. H. Ballard, State Superin tendent of Schools: "A great contri bution to Georgia history.” Atlanta Constitution: "The Con stitution unreservedly congratulates the author upon the great service he has rendered those living, and the future generations, in the prepara tion of this remarkable volume.” Savannah News: “A distinct and valuable Contribution to Georgia his tory. It ia as interesting as a novel and brings to present day freshness the chronicles of former days.” Macon Telegraph: “A special val ue of the book lies in the fact that it is very largely documentary, and, therefore, the facts presented are beyond controversy.” Athens Banner-Herald: “This his tory of the Public Domain of Geor gia is a valuabe record, and should be included in the list of text books for every high school in the state.” REVIVAL ENDS NEXT SUNDAY The revival meeting wJtoefc has been in progress at the Methodist church for the past two weeks will end with the services next Sunday; night.
