FOR STATE SENATE
According to the rotation system
it is Houston County’s time to fur¬
nish the State Senator from this the
Twenty-third District, which is com¬
posed of the Counties of Houston,
Taylor and Crawford.
I hereby announce my candidacy
for the office of State Senator, sub¬
ject to the rules of the Democratic
Primary.
I shall appreciate the vote and sup¬
port of the people of Houston Coun
ty. Res pectfully,
J. E. Da avidson.
o
To The Voters of Houston County
I hereby announce, my candidacy
for the Legislature subject to the
Democratic Nomination.
In the event I am elected, I prom¬
ise to represent to the best of my
ability, all of the citizens of Houston
County, regardless of location.
I shall advocate all measures that
will aid our grand old county in con¬
tinuing its upward progress, and re¬
sist with all the power I possess, any
measure which seeks to dethrone it
from the pre-eminent position it now
occupies.
Respectfully,
J. J. Houser.

TO THE VOTERS OF HOUSTON.
I beg to announce my candidacy
for the Legislature subject to the
Democratic Primary.
The issue before the people of
Houston is the creation of a New
County, and I am seeking your votes
ipon this issue.
A native of this county and yield
ng to none in my loyalty, I am con
inced that the time has come—if
>oth sections should progress as they
hould—that a division should be
nade.
Therefore I solicit your careful
nd unprejudiced consideration of
ay candidacy, and trust that you
vill see fit to honor me with your
uffrage upon my position on the
Jew County issue.
Respectfully, EMMETT

o
TO THE VOTERS OF HOUSTON
COUNTY
I hereby announce myself a can
lidate for the Legislature subject
o the democratic primary. I consci¬
entiously believe that thetime has
-•ome for a division of Houston Coun
y. Our people are the same but in
erests in some respects are differ¬
ent. The county is divided and there
■an be no growth commensurate
,vith her resources until the ques¬
tion of a new county is settled. “It
s a house divided against itself”,
and I ask the voters of Houston
County to carefully consider whether
:t is not beat to divide and let each
section of the county take the lines
>f development which are suitable
to their products and commercial
interest.
In asking your support on the is¬
sue of a division of the county I am
that it’s natural for the peo¬
ple of the western side of Houston
to want a new county, and at the
time it is legitimate for those
of the eastern side to oppose it.
Therefore I hope the fight will be
that of gentlemen and friends and
not enemies.
Respectfully,

reason he was very uncertain on that
score. Slowly he began to form a
mental Image of It—a brown bottle—
It was In a silver holder, because the
bottom was round. Of course—ginger
ala—It came In such bottles. He re¬
membered, too, It was Imported ginger
ale, not so sweet as American. Yes,
the first taste bad been almost bitter.
And then?
Blackness I He could recall nothing,
try his best, until he woke up on the
ship.
It didn't accord with any experience
he knew at all well—of course not
with any he bad ever gone through
himself. He couldn’t believe that he
had taken an alcoholic drink by mis¬
take unless It had been very thorough¬
ly disguised. The odor from his
clothes tended to prove that he had,
but his reason told him otherwise.
Nothing remained, therefore, but to
conclude that he had been given a
knockout I
As the only bit of documentary
evidence In his possession, the letter
from the steamship company seemed
to Impel his attention. He read It
over again, and the last sentence, In
Its full significance, made him start:
“The Colonla will sail at one o’clock
In the morning, October 7. M
October 71 There was a feeling of
depression at the pit of his stomach.
It was not due to seasickness, The
heartbreaking realization of his situa¬
tion had come at last. With the Giant
killers fighting for the victory that
meant everything to players, manager,
and club owners, the team’s second
baseman, regarded by many ns the
king-plu of the defense, the leader of
the offense,” was for from the scene
of combat, probably bound for Naples!
Even though there certainly had been
no malice prepense on hts part, he was
a deserter, nothing better, for the
world series was to start this day I
He looked at his watch. Twelve
o’clock, noon I In thirty minutes the
team, every man of the squad, was
expected to report at the ball park.
In thirty minutest Where was he
now? James Winton Shute rang the
bell to find out
The steward came promptly, a smile
that was both knowing and respect¬
ful upon his face. He spoke with
marked cordiality.
“Mr. James—good morning, sir.
'Ope yon are feeling better, sir. »*
II My name Is Shute—good morning."
li Mr. Shute—very well, air.” The
steward puckered his lips.
“Where are we now?
“About one hundred and fifty miles
out, air,"
"Out?—you mean from land?”
“From New York, sir. *»
II I've got to get off! Where’s the
captain? He’ll have to stop the boat!”
The steward placed a soothing hand
upon the passenger’s shoulder. “I’d
lie down If I were you, sir, and rest
a little more—get your sea legs on,
Mr. James.”
Without taking notice of the persis¬
tent error in nomenclature. Win Shute
announced: 'Tm going to see the cap¬
tain. Where Is he?”
“On the bridge, sir,"
“Take me to him I" His Inflection
compelled obedience.
Once In a championship game Win
Shute had worked the pitcher for a
free pass In first, had stolen second
and then third, and when pitcher was
winding np had raced home, hooking
his leg over the plate and eluding the
catcher who tried to put the ball on
him. This Is the only explanation
that can be offered why and how “Mr.
S. W. James” succeeded In getting to
the captain of the bridge. The gov¬
ernor-genera! of the ship was so sur¬
prised that he didn’t ask the deter¬
mined-looking young man how he had
managed It "Captain, my name Is
Shute—mostly called Win Shute. * »
The captain nodded, but without a
glimmer of understanding.
"You’ve probably heard of the world
aeries —championship of the big
leagues?”
"American baseball?"
"Yes—games to decide the best team
In the world," explained Win eagerly.
"What of It?” was the captain’s re¬
joinder.
“This,” said Shute, pausing for em¬
phasis: “I’m the second baseman,
heavy hitter, and leading base runner
on one of the teams—the Giant-killers,
folks call us,”
“What of that?" varies the captain.
His tone was not unkind, but he show¬
ed a wretched lack of Interest.
“First game’s today—In two hours."
“I take It you are not going to play.”
There was amusement In the captain’s
eyes.
"Not play? I’ve got to play!”
TTie captain looked at him search
Ingly, shook his head, and turned his
eyee to the sea.
“Captain, you don’t appreciate what
this means—not to me alone, but to
onr club and to the fans of our city.
Why, it’s the biggest event of the year.
I got to be there.”
There was another scrutinizing look
from the master of the vessel, who
said nothing.
H How can I get you to stop the
ship?”
The captain smiled. “If you press¬
ed for an answer, I should have to
say that you couldn’t get me to stop
the ship."
it For whom would you stop her?”
“The officers of the line," replied
the captain, smiling amiably.
“Very well, then," said Win quietly,
"you’ll get orders from the Hambard
line to stop her. See you later, cap¬
tain.”
Th« ate ward, In tl(« expectant atti-
tilde of a curious person anticipating
trouble, was surprised when "Mr.
James," w ho wanted to b* called Mr.
Shiite, returned from his encounter
with the captain In perfect composure
though a trifle hurried. He plucked
the steward by the arm. and again
spoke authoritatively:
“Now tifke me to the wireless op¬
erator—and what's his name?”
“Mr. Manse!—Jerrold Mansel. i’ou
may 'ave 'eard of 'lm, sir.”
“Mansel? Not Jed Mansel, the man
who saved the steamship Regent?”
“Yes, sir, the hoperator who saved
the Regent ’E’s not the regular 'wire¬
less' on this ship—our regular’s sick,
and Mansel Is making the voyage for
’lm, sir.”
The quarters of the wireless opera¬
tor were temporarily unoccupied, how
ever. The “Hero of tire Regent was
not at hla post of duty.
It was after much senrchlng that
they caine upon the operator. Jed
Mansel was seated In an Inconspicu¬
ous corner of the library, engaged in
whet seemed to be an intimate conver¬
sation with an uncommonly pretty
girl. After pointing him out, the
steward made a hasty retreat. Win
Shute didn't loae a moment’s time.
“Pardon me for butting In—but are
you the wireless operator of the ship?”
Mansel scowled and nodded Imps
tleutly.
“I want to send a message, please.”
“I’ll be In my room on the bont deck
In about fifteen minutes. And Jed
Mansel turned to the pretty girl.
"Fifteen minutes won’t do,” said
Shute positively. “I must get It right
off—It’s very Important."
Mansel was Inclined to put up an
argument, but a certnin look In the eye
of James Winton Shute—that or some¬
thing else—caused him to think betlei
of It.
“An S. O. S. from duty. Miss Riley
May I hope to see you after lunch
eon?”
“You may hope,” she replied half
Jestingly, and turned to select a book
Jed Mansel laid the course, but Win
Shute set the puce.
This was the wireless messagi
which was given to the operator of tin
steamship Colonla to transmit to th<
nearest station in the United States:
“Trls Ford, Philadelphia:
“Was probably drugged last nlglr
and carried aboard steamship Colonla
Hambard line. We are one hundred
and fifty miles out of New York
bound Naples. Have officers Hue
wireless captain to stop ship and you
send fast boat for me. Well and able
to play. SHUTE.”
“How long will It take to get thin
off?” Inquired Win.
“Can't say—no telling how long It’ll
take to raise ’em.”
“I’ll wait,” said Shiite.
It was an hour before the wlreles>
operator reported that the message
had been transmitted to the shore. He
then announced that he was going to
lunch.
“But how about the reply? Who’ll
be here to receive It?”
“It’ll be two hours at least before
we get an answer," said Mansel.
An hour later Jed Mansel returned
and found the persistent passenger
waiting at his cabin door. Slowly t
half-hour passed.
"Can’t you raise ’em?” asked Win
Impatiently.
"Here comes something,” said the
operator encouragingly. After much
clicking, Mansel shook his head.
“Sorry, but It's not for you.”
He was an endlessly long time re¬
ceiving and transcribing the message.
Then he summoned a deck steward
and told him to find Miss Riley and
give her the Mareonlgram.
"Repent my message^" ordered
Shute, “word for word. Here’s for
both.” He paid the operator with a
yellow-backed bill.
Four times that afternoon the wire¬
less operator repented at twenty-five
cents a word, Including the address
and signature, the message to Trls
Ford. But there was no reply. Win
was getting desperate, and showed It,
when the operator remarked:
"Here’s something—mebbe this Is
It.”
Win braced up. But after a bit of
the metallic chattering, Mansel again
shook his head. Not for you—for
the captnln."
“For the captain?’ Win’s tone was
eager. ’That’s the stuff!" He was
thinking of orders from the officers
of the line.
The operator transcribed the mes¬
sage, put It in an envelope, and went
off to deliver it himself. When lie
cama back he confided the Informa¬
tion: “I’m going to send a message
from the captain—about you." That
was all, but it raised the wavering
spirits of the young man who would
not leave the upper deck.
There was nnother tedious delay.
Finally, along about five o’clock, there
were the auditory evidences of the
approach of a winged message. Then
further delay while the wireless op¬
erator played his important part in
the space-conquering trick.
"Sorry, but it’s not for you. For
the captain again,” he volunteered.
“Might be just ns good,” said Win,
"perhaps better.”
The operator didn’t reply. He went
away to deliver the message - and was
gone “ages.” Returning, he Informed
the “good waiter” that the captain
would like to see him.
Win Shute was off to the bridge as
he might have started for second.
High ran his hopes. He could almost

The captain invited him Into the
chartroom and closed the door. With¬
out a word he handed him a Marconi
gram, which ran:
