HOW CONTESTANTS
STOOD MONDAY
Saturday and Monday were contest
days worth while. There was activity
all along the line, each contestant ad
ding to what she had, making a little
bit more. Te fine weather has sent
an optimistic thrill throughout all this
rich section of the country and the ac
tive contestants are reaping a harvest
of Argus subscriptions.
There is hustle and enthusiasm
everywhere and all the contestants
are in good humor and working with
the determination to win. Most of
them are organizing their friends for
a systematic vote-getting campaign,
not satisfied with merely working their
own tov/ns and rural districts, they are
reaching out into other territory and
will make a thorough canvass of all
adjacent towns.
The large vote, the continued fine
weather, and the increasing uncertain
ty as to the winners has increased in
terest in the contest to a wonderful
degree.
Miss Alleen Puryear is the latest
entry’ into the brotherhood of vote
getters. She has gone to work in
earnest and will bear watching.
After Tuesday the vote Schedule
will be reduced. Tn order to*receive
credit for the present period it is nec
essary that all votes be turned in on
Tuesday’s business not later than 8
o’clock Wednesday morning. Other
wise, the votes will be counted on the
second voting period.

FEMALE COLLEGE
WAS MADE BY TRUSTEES TO
THE CITY TODAY, AND ALL
CONCERNED ARE SATISFIED.
The board of trustees of the Dalton
Female college made formal transfer
of the property to the city of Dalton
today by executing bond for title, the
city giving three notes in payment.
The first note is due Dec. 15. 1910;
the second note is due Dec. 15, 1911,
and the third Dec. 15, 1912.
The first note due will satisfy the
Kelly debt which is held against the
institution, and the arrangement by
the city in the payment of the remain
ing notes wjs entirely satisfactory’ to
the college trustees.
The city of Dalton is to be con
gratulated on acquiring this splendid
property’, which is well worth fifteen
thousand dollars, on the payment of
$4,500, which meant the stoppage of
a lawsuit, the final ending of which
no one could see. As it is, the city
has the property, which they very
much needed, and the trustees of the
college, and all others, are satisfied.

KENNEMORE HAY
BRING DAMAGE SUIT
$5,000 Slander Suit May Be Sequel
to ’Squire Kennemore’s Assault
and Battery Case.
’Squire M. C. Kennemore, a justice
of the peace in the Mill Creek dis
trict, may bring a suit for slander and
damages to the amount of five thou
sand dollars against his father-in-law, .
L. M. Babb, also a well known citizen
of that district. This was learned
today when the case was called against
’Squire Kennemore, who was charged
with assault and battery, the charges
having been preferred by L. M. Babb. ,
The assault and battery is alleged
to have occurred on November 27, j
when Kennemore is said to have went
to the home of Babb, where the trou- |
ble is said to have occurred. It is
stated that the remarks said to have
been made by Babb was the reason
of the alleged assault by Kennemore,
and for which he will bring suit for
slander and damages.
When the case was called by Judge
S. B. Felker, Kennemore waived ex
amination, and the case w’ent over
until the April term of Whitfield su
perior court. The bond "Was fixed "St
S2OO, which was promptly made.
The cases promise interesting de
velopments and will be hard fought
when they are called. Attorney W.
E. Mann represents Kennemore, and
Att.orney Geo. G. Glenn and Sam P.
Maddox represent Babb.
It isn’t every ball player who can

It is awfully hard for a man to ap- '
ply his sense of humor to his own case. '
It is better to have your money at

A BAD~WRECK
ON SOUTHERN
PASSENGER TRAIN NO. 6 COL
LIDES WITH FREIGHT AT
SHERMAN HEIGHTS TUNNEL
NO ONE WAS KILLED.
Southern Passenger train No. 6, due

Tunnel at Sherman Heights this morn
ing with freight train No. 73, of the
Southern railway. The trains are
said to have met while going at a
lively speed. There was no one kill
ed in the wreck, only one passenger
being hurt.
No. 3 train from Knoxville was an
nulled and the passengers were
brought to Dalton on No. 13, which
returned from Ooltewah Junction and
from Dalton went to Chattanooga over
the Western & Atlantic. The train
left Dalton about two o’clock this af
ternoon. No. 6 returned to Dalton

ONE DOLLAR A YE AB
LITTLE INTEREST MANIFESTED
EXCEPT SECOND AND SIXTH
WARDS.
ONLY FAIR VOTE
IS BEING POLLED
Elkins Said to Be Leading for Aider
man in the Second Ward and Buch
anan in the Sixth.
The election for four aidermen, a
city clerk and city treasurer is being
held in Dalton today.
The only candidate for City Clerk
is W. M. Carroll, the present incum
bent, who has no opposition.
J. 11. Stanford is a candidate for
city treasurer to succeed himself and
has no opposition.
Frank E. Shumate, in the third
ward and J. J. Duane in the seventh
ward, are candidates for aidermen
and are receiving all the votes cast,
having no opposition.
Lively interest is being taken in the
second and sixth wards, Lee Elkins
and Will Steele being candidates in
the second, and W. A. Buchanan and
Clarence Cornelison in the sixth.
Second Ward.
At noon there were fifty votes poll
ed in the second ward, close observers
saying that Lee Elkins had a good
lead over his opponent, Will Steele.
| lt is believed that as many as eighty
j votes will be polled in this, the next
largest ward in the city.
Sixth Ward.
In the sixth ward the race is be
tween W. A. Buchanan and Clarence
. Cornelison. 41 votes had been polled
up to two o’clock, observers claim
ing that Buchanan was leading his
opponent, Clarence Cornelison.
If the average man had to order his
halo in advance, the chances are it
would prove to be about three sizes
too large for him.
Man’s reason gets him into mis
chief that woman's instinct keeps her
out of.
Any woman can understand a tele
gram because no woman understands
punctuation.
A really good man would suffer
fearfully from his utter lack of
companionship.
When the state capitol is moved
to Macon, why not use the lot on
which it now stands to build Mercer
