If Slaton is Entitled to Go to

Congressman Hardwick Points Out That Joe Brown Received
Within a Few Hundred As Many Votes As Slaton---Will

Atlanta, Ga-—Congressman Hard

today:
“To the Democrats of Georgia:
"Mr. Slaton’s contention that he la
entitled to the nomination because of
his microscopic lead In delegates and
popular votes Is amusing. The county
unit system to which he has so long
and so loudly protested his devotion
and loyalty seems to have caught lilm
In Its meshes
"Ah to popular vote, the facta are
that he received *19,027 as against
fid,Bl7 for Hardwick, 33,481 for Fel
der, 27,726 for Hutchens, and 8,718 for
Cooper, while 69,627 voted for him.
It does not seem to me that this con
stitutes a valid title to a democratic
nomination.
Two-thirds against him. On the
other hand It seems to Indicate that
more than two-thirds of all the people
of Georgia have insisted that Mr. 81a

also of significance to note that Mr.
Slaton's vote Is Just about the same

COTTON AND CORN GOOD
IN WARREN COUNTY.
Norwood, Go.—The crops In Warren
county and contiguous to Norwood
territory are very good, In fact old
cotton Is as well fruited as wo have
known for several years. Young cot
ton, of which there Is quite an acre
age, will depend altogether upon how
late frost appears Old corn since thy
rains commenced will make a fair
crop and all late corn bids fair to
make a large yield.
The people are much worried over
the European war, as they fear It will
lower the price of cotton but they have
the utmost confidence In the wisdom
of Senator Smith In making arrange
ments to prevent such catastrophe by
the bills he has Introduced In con
gress.
THE CROPS ARE GOOD

Lyndhueet, 8. C.—Crop conditions
In this section are, on the whole,
rather promising.
The cotton has been Injured con
sldersbly by too much rain and In
many cases has shedded badly, but
with favorable season from now on
will probably make a fairly good crop.
Home young cotton was planted after
oats and Is growing nicely.
A good crop of corn will be made;
also pesa and potatoes.
Cotton picking Is now under way
and ts It Is not opening all at onco
the chances are we can get It pricked

BRUNSON HAS 6PLENDID CROPS
Brunson, G. C. —The cotton crop In
this section bill fair at one time to
be one of the largest that this section
of the country had ever hud hut the
Intense hot weather In June, with one
of the hardest rains that we have
had In July, followed by showers for
nearly every day for at least a week
caused considerable deterioration.
Even with this, however, we have
made a splendid crop throughout tlds
section hut not as good as last sea
son. The yield, however, would have
been satisfactory to our people hut
all are of course blue on account of
ahe conditions that confront them at
this time because of the crisis In the
market that has been ocacsloned by
the European war.
The corn crop ts good. In fact far
better than the average corn crop that
Is raised here. Our people for the past
few years hsve been devoting qulto a
lot of study to the Improvement of
corn culture. It can be said to their
credit that less corn, oats and hay
has been shipped to this point this
season than ever before, and at least
fifty per cent, and your correspondent
believes more, of what bus been ship
ped here has been used by people In
business other than farming. Tho
hay crop Is also especially fine this
season.
Our farmers have also planted heavy
In peanuts this season. This crop
through this section Is planted for
hogs Unfortunately the hog crop will
he short through this section on ac
count of the rnvagea of hog cholera.
Had It not been for the demorallzeii
condition that the cotton market Is
now In, our farmers would have en
joyed a season of prosperity that has
never been equaled In this section.

THE SELECTION ID CROWNING OF
A POPE
The method by which a successor to
Pope Plus X will be chosen Is fixed by
a long established custom.
The barred College of Cardinals will
meet shortly at the Vatican and by bal
lot will select the next pope. Several
ballots may have to be taken and the
balloting may continue for several days.
Meantime the Sacred College will be the
supreme power lu the church.
At the time that Tope Plus X was
elected, the cardinals took succssslre bal
lots for four days befor e It was possible
for any one candidate to get the necea
enry iwo-thlrda vote.
On August l, lIM3, the Sacred College
of Cardinals went Into session. Cardi
nal Hampolla und Cardinal tteraflno Van
nutslll at the start were the leading can
didates. The first ballot was between
Vannulelll and Rapolle. with the latter
slightly In the lead Cardinal Sarto, the
Patriarch of Venice, who subsequently
became Pope Plus X. received only four
viksi on thla luiUot Sarto gradually
gained, however, during the balloting of
the succeeding days, until on August 4th
his vots hsd Increased to 17, wtthtn six
of ths necessary two-thirds.
When this vole wue announced Cardi
nal Sarto broke down. Tears coursed
| down bis cheeks and he Insisted that the
honor was too great for him. The car
! dlnals spent most of the night trying to
convince Cardinal Sarto that It was the
will of C.od that he should be the next
! po(ie. On the next day Cardinal Sarto
w ns elected on the first ballot. C'ardl
! net Casetta, as Scrutineer read ths cole
when he reached the forty-second vole
for Sarto, be announced, lifting hla red
Micchetto. "Ilablmua pontlficem." but
the cardinals cried. "Continue." When
| the wile reached fifty for Sarto, the car
dinals crowded about the Patriarch of
I \ elites, who was near a slate of <-oi
| lapse, and acclaimed him ths new poll
j tiff.
According to the ancient custom they
1 demanded to know If he would accept.
With trembling ltpe Cardinal Sarto re
plied:
•If this cup cannot pass front me “
[ "Yes, or no," cried the cardinals. “You
I must answer ves. or no."
! "I accept," sold the cardinal quietly.
Whereupon e!t of the cardinals re
moved their baldachins. Sarto's being the
only one remaining, thus marking Mtu
their supreme head The temporary su-
I premacy of tjie Sacred College of car
dinals had passed and ths new pontiff

ed. The marshal of the Conclave drew
up the official act of the election of the
pope while the pontiff stepped Into an
ante-room to don his white robes of
office.
Ko-appearlng. garbed in the official
? laments, the pontiff was again received
>y the cardinals and escorted to the
throne. In the procession on the wuy
he stopped for a moment to drop his
cardinal's red hat upon the head of Mgr.
Merry del Val, thus signifying that
shortly thereafter Merry del Val war to
become a cardinal. Subsequently Merry
del Val became papal secretary of stale.
Then, with the cardinals standing
about him, Pope Plus X took his seat
on the throne and the cardinals gave
him their "first obedience," in this oe-c
--mony each cardinal In turn kissed his
hand and foot, while he saluted each ol
them on the cheek with the kiss of peace.
After that he gave them all the papa'
blessing.
The actual crowning of the pop# does
not take place, ea a rule until several
days after hlg elactlon. It Is a most
magntficsnt ceremony, and takes place in
ths gigantic Basilica of St. Peter's,
where 70.000 persons saw the last In
auguration. It Is attended by the princes
nnd dignitaries of ths church, besides ail
ths nobles and diplomats In Rome. The
Item of the Cardnal Deacons places the
triple crown upon the head of the pope,
whereupon the choir Intones a hymn of
triumph and ths bells of Rome ring out.
When the crown Is placed upon his
head the pope is seated upon the pars I
throne, a marvelous combination of gold
and silver erected befiWe the high altar.
On the alter, which Is dressed In whit#
stands ths famous silver oandlestlcks of

Before entering the Basilica the pope

WHAT DEFINITE AIM

It Is a fact that many women have
no definite desire to get anywhere In
the work they are doing. They con

thing in their lives, and rarely have
a plan tending toward ultimate ex

reel they have accomplished what they
started to do.
Men have quite another point of
view. The boy In his teens is already

life that will take him somehow to the

In some profession or trade; he means
to "be something."
Now, he may or may not succeed In
getting to the position at which he is
aiming But at least he stands a good
chance of doing so If he works serious
