The trial of voting machines at
Rochester, N. Y , seems to have
been a complete success. The great
advantage of the machine is that
it aut matically ke»'p« tally as the
vote proceeds, and »Lh) the polls
are closed it is only a matter of a
few minutes before the results can
be announced. Reports of the en
tire vo'e of all the districts of
Rochester were turned in at police
headquarters within thirty-seven
minu es after the closing of the
polls. ,

The machine, it is arid in the (

does not make scratching a»y

It was a characteristic pieco of

Roosevelt a telegram of congratu

administer to the Colonel of the '

perhaps Alger only congratulated
Roosevelt upon having excited the :

BEN H. JO-iNSON
r “ A’’ '
Aii Olii Floyd Coilnly Boy
Wims Honors
IN THE lone star state
Elected State Senator by an
Overwhelming Majority-
Ordinary John P. Davis this
morning received the following
communication from a Texas
friend, relative to the election of
another friend—an old Floyd
county boy. But here is the letter:
Frost, Texas, Nov. 11, 1898
Judge John P. Davis, Romb, Ga
My Dear Sir:
I am pleased to inform you that
Hon . Ben H. Johnson defeated his
populist opponent by seven thous*
and majority. He polled the
largest democratic majority of any
democrat in this district.
Tell his old friends in Georgia
that Texas and Texans are proud
of Ben Johnson. He is the peer
of any man in this state, the
kuightliest champion that ever
drew bis sword in defense of de
mocracy.
I voice the sentiment of the de
mocracy of Texas, when I tell you
that no man within the borders ot
the “Lone Star State” is held in
higher esteem by all classes of peo
ple irrespective of political affi’ra
tions, than Ben H. Johnson: He
will take high rank in the next
Senate.
Yours truly,
Wm. C. Williams.
Senator Ben Johnson is a son of
the late Capt. Ed Johnson of
Floyd and was reared on the John
son plantation in what 1b now
known as Holton’s Bend —up thej
Oostanaula. Among a host of warm
friends in the county, none love
Ben Johnson more than tie old
school mate and boyhood chum,
John P. Davis, Floyd's model
young ordinary. -*
Major-Gen. H. D, Clayton, for
some time president of the Alaba
ma state university, were ehcted
to congress on Tuesday,” said an
old friend of the Clayton family.
“Henry D. Clayton was elected to
represent Eufaula district, and
Bertram Cieyton was elected in
one of the districts of Brooklyn,
both as democrats.
o o o
Henry Clayton is the eldest of
Gen. Clayton’s family, and ie a
widower, his wife having died with
in a few months of their marriage,
sixteen years ago. She was the
daughter of the late Major-Gen,
W. W. Allen, of Montgomery, for
some time United states marshal.
000
Bertram Clavtcn is a younger
son of Gen. Clayton, and is a West
Pointer. He served in the army for
several years and then resigned
after marrying a very wealthy
bride in Brooklyn. He was reap
pointed to the service en the out
break of the war with Spain, and
was at the taking cf Santiago.
o o o
He is a civil engineer in Brook
lyn, and wa? nominated for con
gresss in a republican district. It
is rather odd that two sons of an
Alabama Confederate major-gener
al, both born in Barbour county,
that state, should sit together in
the same congress, the one repre
senting the district in which he
was born, and the o her a district
in Greater New York.”
000
The war investigation commis
sion came across an exceedingly
frank witness at Anniston, Ala.
His name is Charles F, Hing, he
holds the rank of Major, and is the
surgeon cf the Fourth Wisconsin
regiment. Asked if the men ever
complained to him regarding the
food, Dr. King replied that they
had, and, being asked. “What did
you tel'them?” he said: “I told
them to go to the devil and eat
what they had.”
