No Disorder.
The elections promised by tho pro
visional president, Gon. Iluorta, wen?'
I
held today and there was no semb
lance of disorder In any quarter of the
city. A few patrols wore on the streets
but neither police nor troops had any
but their usual duties to perform.
Tho polling ' places opened at 9
o'clock and remained open until noon
when Ho y were closed for lunch, Thoy
were reopened at 3 and closed again
at 5.
From to ?"? o'clock, officials were
Inattondance at each polling place,
representing tho various parties. Thoy
assisted in the preparation of ballots
whon necessary but offered no coer
cion or suggestion as to how.thl ap
plicant should vote.
The election officials appeared to be
a representative class of citizens ?
clerks, small business men. railroad
employes and shop keepers of average
intelligence, So far as could be as
certained no government employes
served in 'his capacity.
The polling places, of which thoro
were said to bo 082, averaging one to
a city block, wore located in the en
trances of buildings, generally, but in
some Instances were set up on the
sidewalks or the corner.; of public
squares. Fach had a table on which 1
Woro spread tickets of tho various!
candidates, From these the voter
made his selection, folded and deliv
ered it lo the officials who doposited
in tho presence of the voter in the bal
I lot box.
Ballot boxes consisted of all sorts
of recoptables from a shoe box to a
plush covered jewel casket, or a glass
Jar borrowed from a neighboring drug
store. There was no secrecy about
the voting. All the world could look
! on and, observe which ballot was se
lected.
As the vote was doi>osited the name
was checked on the registration list
previously prepared through personal
visits of a designated official to the'
houses in bis jurisdiction.
Calcro Did Not Vote.
Manuel Calero, Liberal candidate
did not vote. Tonight he said: "I un
derstand the voting was exceedingly
dull. Nobody appears to believe in
the seriousness of the election. On
account of the political conditions
imnny refused to vote, i myself, did
not vote. Had we had indirect ballot
ing, I would have done so."
Fodorlco Qambon, candidate for the
Catholic party, on the other hand cast
a ballot for Calcro. Neither of those
candidates cared to express an opinion
as to whether a Bulilcient number of
ballots had been deposited to make the
election effective.
Few of those who went to the polls
took the trouble to vote for either sen
ators or deputies.
The saddest death that has been in
tills and Bdon section in some time
was that of Robert Helton Brooks, the
son and only child of Mr. and Mrs.
Langdqn Brooks. On Thursday morn
ing Robert Melton was in Rood health
and about three o'clock he was taken
suddenly siek and died next morning
about four o'clock, and wont to Heav
en whi re Jesus and the angels are.
Robert Helton was such a smart
little boy, and was one that will be
much missed by all who knew him.
He was three years and five months
Old the day he departed from this
world.
Saturday morning at eleven o'cloc k
the funeral service was conducted J^t
Itabun church by Rev. T. W. Mumior
lyn and Rev. 11. I,. Raggott. Then lit
tle Robert Helton was laid to rest in
the Rabun cemetery, Dear mother,
father, and grandparents, we know
[you will miss him. Though he cannot
return back, you can go to him.
Robert Helton, one precious to our
hearts has gone,
The voice we loved is .still,
The place made vacant in our home,
Can never more be filled.
Our Father in his wisdom called
The boon his love had given;
And though on earth the body lies,
The soul is safe in Hen von.

There is nothing so destructive to

hair falls our fast. A little Danderiuc

save your hair.
Get a '2't cent bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine from any drug store or

plication your hair will take on that
I life, lustre and luxuriance which is so
beautiful. It will become wavy and
