VOL. XXXIII—NO. 50. 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. I 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. V “What’s the trouble with that pritna donna 5 ” askec rhe manager. “She used to be very pleasant and considerate.” “Yes,” replied the stage manager, “but she has gotten so she believes all the press agent writes about her.” —■ Washington Star.

Mississippi, of course, forced in a democratic governor, while Rhode Island would have none other than a republican for her chief execu tive which two makes a set off. New York elected a republican legislature. Municipal conference candidates won out over the union labor leaders, in California. Marylan dan New Mexico are in doubt. Governor Harmon, of Ohio, has had his administration endorsed by the vote all over the state, while New Jerseyites did not seem to have had any especial high regard for the can didates advocated by Governor Wood row Wifeon. 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 LEADING PAPER OF NORTH GEORGIA. BEST ADVERTISING MEDIUM IN PIEDMONT SECTION. DALTON, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 9 191!■ WANTED TO GET IN A REAL "PEN” • A NEGRO PURPOSELY VIOLATES i U. S. LAWS. SAYS HE HAS BIG INVENTION I I A Model of Which He Wants to Com- } plete and Can Not Get Tools Out side of a Federal Prison—Will Be ■ Accommodated. 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 ty for which he was working. The Stranger—ls there a good criminal lawyer in your town ? The native —Wall, everybody thinks we’ve got one, but they ain’t been able to prove it on him. —Cleveland Plain Dealer. “Got a job at last have you Dick?” “Yep* dollar a week.” ‘ ‘ W ijt kind of work ? ’' “Scrapin’ the wads of gum off’n the backs of furniture in a second hand store.” —Chicago Tribune. “Do you ever talk back to your i wife?” “Yes, there are occasions When I don't dare not to.” “Indeed!” “Otherwise she might think I’d gone to sleep.”—Boston Transcript. “They say this is a great detective story.” “The book begins well, anyhow.” “As to how?” “Why in the very first chapter the detective flicks the ashes from the end of his cigar.”—Louisville Courier- Journal. producing it. Put a pulley on the shaft of the motor and you get me chanical power again which is what you started out with. That is why motors are so economical and con venient where mechanical power is required. Great dynamos in a power station generate current i nvast quan tities which is sent out over the lines to be used up in motors of all types s>nd sizes, from a thirty-second of a horse power up to a thousand horse power, as desired. Now when you want to operate a sewing machine by power you buy a little motor to do it. A few years ago it would have been necessary for you to put in a boiler and steam engine. IEDDY R. INVITEDIO BEAR RUNT DOWN IN THE GEORGIA SWAMPS NEAR MACON. 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. Boy—Mr. Quinn, can’t I get off this afternoon. My grandmother’s dead. Mr. Quinn —I don’t see how with year (.mail salary you can afford to see so many ball games. Boy—That’s right. I can’t either.

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. ONE DOLLAR A YEAI to attempt to give any adequate idea of the esteem and love in which she was held. No brush could paint nor I human tongue could frame speech in words that would give the slightest conception of her beauty of charaeter.- Her very face was the replica of the* I honesf and brilliantly cheerful sou? ' and heart that always shown there i from. Perhaps as great an eneonrium ■as could be was expressed this morning 'when a sad visitor said: “Beyond ’ doubt she was the best known and ' most beloved young woman in the Seventh congressional district.” After feeling talks by Revs. Foote and Betterton, the services closed at the church and were briefly conES'd e< l at West Hill. The floral were over one hundred and fifty in number coming from all sections where she was known. The Confe ’.o rate veterans, the Lesehe club, the bar and her Sunday school class attended lin separate bodies. The pall bear rs i were Messrs. Dennis Barrett, C. D. J McCutchen, R. H. Lovejoy, Walter S. Richardson. L. 11. Crawford and Julian McCamy. The church ush -r 1 were Messrs. G. M. Cannon, Jr., a . t W.*C. Martin. Despite the stead, down-pour of rain there was a very large crowd present. It was one of the in the hist ore of 'Dalton. 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.
