THE DEMOCRATS TOOK
ABOUT ALL THE PLUMS
IN SIGHT YESTERDAY
SOME REAL GOOD DEMOCRATIC RETURNS
KENTUCKY GOT SQUARELY BACK INTO THE FOLD AND THE BAY
STATE RETURNED FOSS TO THE EXECUTIVE
ALL RIGHT TOO.
Demccracy was triumphant in the
state elections yesterday except in
New Jersey, where the canidates fav
ored by Governor Woodrow Wilson
were defeated.
Kentucky got back into the democrat
ic fold by electing the entire state
democratic ticket from 25 to 40 thou
sand majority.
Massachusetts decided to remain in
the democratic rank by re-electing
Governor Eugene N. Foss in a majori
ty of eight thousand with a republi
can lieutenant governor to make him
behave as he has been doing for the
past term.
Cincinnati elected a democratic
mayor, Cleveland followed «nit as did
TWO AND TWO
THIRD MILLIONS
MORE COTTON
GINNED UP TO DATE THAN
WERE GINNED ON NOVEMBER
2STH 1910 THAI IS WHAT THE
GOVERNMENT FIGURES TO
DAY SHOW.
It looks as though cotton is going
right on down in price. '
The government ginners’ report,
came •ut today and showed an enor
mous increase over the report tiffs
t«a-e last year.
* . i
The report, as issued today, gives
the eotte ginned so far this year at
9,968.000 as against 7,340,000 on the i
> thirteenth of November last year, or
an increase of 2,628,000 bales. These :
figures ase two and two thirds mil
lions over last year, but of course an i
allowance must be made for the fact |
that the weather conditions this year
hastened the opening of cotton and
permitted sv much more than usual to
be picked out.

Carnival in Full Blast.
The Weider Carnival company which >
is here this week in the interest of the ■
local chamber of commerce had a bet- i
ter attendance last night. The merry
go-round, the Plantation show and
several others were up and doing bus
iness. The rain and some social func
tions will no doubt keep some away to
night, but it is hoped that there will
be a fine attendance the remainder of
the week. The animal show and the
laotion picture show is attracting fine
crowds.

The Difference Between a Motor and
a Dynamo.
It is a very 'common error to ‘con
fuse a motor with a dynamo and but
very few, outside of electrical engi
neering circles, can explain the differ
ence between these two machines.
I The newspaper man writes about th,
| “ dynamos’” burning out and setting
the street cars on fire or tells of the
giant “motors” whirling at tremend
ous speed in the power house and very
! few realize that a mistake has been
made. , . .
To explain iu-Hhe
a dynamo is a machine driven by me
chanical energy which converts that
mechanical energy into electricity—■
another form of energy. A motor is
a machine that takes the electrical
energy generated by the dynamo and
converts it back again into mechnaical
energy. And curiously enough, the
two machines are almost idenical in
heir construction. Indeed some dy®a
mdfc can be operated as motors and
some motors as dynamos without any
change whatever.
1 Going-a little into detail, a dynamo,
or generator, as it is now more com
monly called by electrical men. is a
machine consisting of wat is called an
; armature which is made to revolve
.between the poles of a magnet or
' groupe of magnets. The armature
! contains a great many loops of wire
i which cut the lines of magnetic force
which flow from magnet pole to that
jof opposite polarity. Although no one
; can see how it is done, it is neverthless
'true that this simle process causes a
I current of electricity to flow through
■ the wires of the armature, which may
be led out of the latter through suit
able sliding contracts or brushes and
sent out through the conducting '.' ires
of a circuit which may extern many
miles. The current is supposed, for
convenience, to flow out over one wire
and back over the other, keeping up a
continuous flow through the armature
and outside circuit.
There you have the dynamo. To
■ operate the dynamo, mechanical ener
' yg as that of a steam engine or water
wheel is required. The more current
you take or. of armature the harder
it is to turn.
Now if you take a machine similar
to a dynamo away out somewhere on
the line and connect its terminals to
the two wires of the circuit, the curr
ent which is being generated by the
dynao flows through the armature of
this second machine and, lo and behold
the armature begins tn spin. There
you have the motor, which is nothing
more than a dynamo running back
wards and using < urrent instead of

Savannah, Ga., No . B—One of the
most remarkable negro criminals with
which the government has had to deal
will go before the grand jury for in
dictment when it meets here Thurs
day.
The autorities declare they have
never met such another negro crim
inal. He is Lewis H. Wagner, of
South Carolina, alias Evan P. Harris,
and declares to the officers that he
broke the postal laws in order to get
into a real penitentiary where he can
perfect an invention that he is work
ing on. He is well educated.
He confessed that on a number of
occasions he had raised postal orders,
in one case making an erder for 19
cents read SBB.TB.
Harris talks in a most con incing
manner. He declares he was working
on an invention and being unable to
complete it for lack of facilities, com
mitted the crimes that he would be
sent to the Slates penitent ia’
in Xflantn. where lie could secure the
use of the various tools and machin
ery necessary’.
He will probably get the opportuni

A THIRTY DAY SHOOT PLANNED
I
j About Fifty of Leading American
! Sportsmen Are Expected to Be On
Hand for the Novel Event.
Ou the morning of November 23,
the greatest hunting expedition in the
history of the state, probably head
ed by Theodore Roosevelt, and made
up of no less than fifty of the most il
lustrious sportsmen in America, will
take the field at Phillips’ Station,
about 20 miles distant from Macon on
the Southern railway, and for a period
of thirty days, wage war against
bears habitating the canebreaks of the
Qemulgee river swamp nearby.
The assembling of this aggragation
of hunters, famous for their exploits
through the country in a number of
instances throughout the civilized
world, is a direct result of an article
published in The Macon Telegraph
something over a month ago, relating
the depredations of bears against do
mestic animals and crops in that par
ticular section of the river swamp.
This article was taken up by news
syndicates, copied by other papers and
j 4 noted in all parts of the United
States. ' ' T.~
When Monroe Phillips, a promiY *
and influential planter residing
Phillips’ Station, related upon a visit
to Macon, the story of the number of
bears ranging in undisputed posses
sion of the canebrakes near his farm,
and of damage to domestic animals
resulting from their depredations, he
little realized with what surprising ra
pidity a bunt, proposed in a spirit of
jest, would take on nation-wide im
portance. It is now up to Mr. Phil
lips to entertain the members of the
hunting party during the thirty days
of their visit.
FIRST CONG. DIST.
APPEARS TO FAVOR
TOTAL OPTION
Ralph Smith, who is touring the state
for the Atlanta Journal writes that
paper last night the following sum
mary of his finings from Savannah:
It is evident that there exists in
the First congressional district a
strong current of sentiment favorable
to local option as against state-wide
prohibition. Liberty county and pos
sibly Burke and Screven, is the excep
tion, The prevalence of this senti
ment may be accounted for in many
ways, but that is not the purpose of
this a’tide; suffice it to say that many
people have become disgusted with the
operation of the prohibition law, es
pecially its flagrant violation in the
city of Savannah.

THE FUNERAL SERVICES
OF MRS. F. E. SHUMA TE
HELD THIS MORNING
A SAD OCCASION FOR ALL DALTON
SERVICES AT THE FIRST METHODIST CHURCH CONDUCTED BY
REVS. W. R. FOOTE AND T. C. BETTERTON. IN SPITE OF A
STEADY DOWN POUR OF RAI N A LARGE CROWD WAS PRE
SENT.
The funeral of Mrs. Frank E. Shu
mate took place this morning from the
First Methodist church.
The services were conducted by
Reverend W. R. Foote, the pastor,
assisted by Rev. T. C. Betterton, of
Chattanooga, who resigned this pas- i
torate to go into Tennessee and make
it his home, and it was in connection ■
with his work here, that he, too, learn- 1
ed to know, as did everybody else, !
the pure gold of the heart and mind
of Mrs. Shumate.
The church choir never sang so
sweetly, the very atmosphere of the j
edifice was never more hallowed, the
stillness never so profound and the
pent up love and sympathy of jew and
gentile, of childhood and old age, of
old soldier and youthful tenderness,
was never more sincere than on this
occasion and “one sweetly solemn
thought came o’er and o’er,” that an
other angel had been added to that I
“home, not made with hands, eternal i
in the heavens,” when the chastened •
soul of Mrs. Shumate reached there
and the angels and arch-angels in glad
acclaim shouted hallelujah.
If “every one to whom she did a
kindly act had brought but one rose
bud to her bier, tonight all that is
I mortal of her would rest beneath a
wilderness of row's.”" It were futile '
Pumping Water.
The new pumping plant out at
Crown Point has been in operation for
several days and has been doing splen
didly. , ■ .
Some days ago wafer was turned in
to the coagulating basin and from
thence into the two filtration tanks.
After these were filled, pure water was
run into the clear water basin and
now it is being pumped into the big
concrete reservoir up on the north
brow of Mount Rachel. This reser
voir, however, was thoroughly rinsed
and washed out before water for
storage and use was put into it. City
officials say that everything is work
ing smoothly now and they have had
no trouble since actual work of the
pumps began.
Making Them Madder
John Allen of Tupelo, the former
congressman humorist, used to tell a
story respecting the late Col. Josiah
Patterson, of Tennessee. He said
Patterson, as commanding officer of a
Confederate regiment in the Civil war
was upon one occasion conducting a
masterly retreat. Riding at the head
of his regiment he heard rifle firing
somewhere in the rear of him. Learn
ing that his own men were shooting
at the pursuing ederals, he set spi.rs
to his horse, dashed to the rear, and
shouted to his soldiers:
“Men, quit shooting at those fel
lows. It only makes tl'.eir radder. ’
There are, just at this tin e, a grec
many prominent republicans who
would like to issue a similiar order
to President Taft, and to suggest that
if he makes the progressives any mad
der by continuing to attack them, the
republicans might as well give up all
hope of carry ing the next election.

and Betterton, the services closed at
the church and were briefly conES'd e< l

JURIES MUSI
NOT DRINK DP
THEJVIOENCE
THE GEORGIA COURT OF AP
PEALS HANDS DOWN A SENSI
BLE THOUGH UNIQUE VIE
DICT YESTERDAY.
Holding that the defendant should
not have bee ncharged with two of
fences in the same indictment, the
' court o f appeals yesterday reversed
the det ision of the lower court in the
case of J. Morse against the state.
Morse was charged in the indict
ment, with keeping liquor on hand at
his place of business, and wiht selling
liquor. He was convicted on one
count, but was acquitted on the other.
The court reversed the decision for
the reason stated.
In the decision of this case the
higher '•ourt took occasion to admon
ish jururt against consuming “too
much of the evidence” in whiskey
■cases, and stated that, while liquor
■ may be introduced in order that the
jurors may taste, smell, and thereby
see that it it the real stuff, it is un
seemly that jurors shall consume
enough of it to warp their decisions
in passing on the ease.
Owing to the illness of President
B. A. Tyler, the local chamber of
commerce did not hold a meeting yes
terday afternoon as announced. Mr.
Tyler is improved today and he is ex
pected out tomorrow.
