DEMOCRACY'S FINE RECORD i Senator Beckham, of Kentucky, in a .great campaign speech in that State discussed the record of the Democratic administration in the last seven and one-half years to show how both in times of peace and in war, the Democratic administration had been most successful in the conduct of the Government. He said: "No party has come before the American people in the last half century with a stronger case or better record than the Democratic party presents in this campaign. It has given to the country some of the wisest some of the most progressive and most beneficial measures of relief ever enacted into law, and it carried the country sucessfully through the greatest war in all history. WHAT IT COST ONE CANDIDATE As it is the proper thing now to investigate campaign expenses, in order to find out how much a candidate spends to win the election this report from a Western candidate is submitted. He goes into details nmro intimately than some other candidates, and yet the poor l\ How was beaten. Here is how much he sums up what the campaign cost him: "Lost 1,340 hours of sleep thinking about the election. Lost two front teeth and a whole lot of hair in a personal encounter with an opponent. Donated one beef, four shoats and five sheep to a country barbecue. Gave away two pairs of suspenders, four calico dresses, $3.00 cash and thirteen baby rattlers. Kissed 126 babies. Kindled fourteen kitchen fires. Put up four stoves. Walked 4,076 miles. Shook hands with 9,50H persons. Told 10,101 lies talked enough to make in print 1,000 volumes. Attended sixteen revival meeting and was baptized four times by immersion and twice some other way. Contributed $f>0 to foreign missions and made love to nine grasswidows. Hugged forty-nine old maids. Uot dog-bit thirty times and was defeated." FORTY CENT COTTON * Gaorgia farmers will stick to the price fixed by the American Cotton Association of forty cents minimum for September cotton. J. M. Mills, president of the Farmers' Union, in the state, has begun a tour of Georgia for the purpose of solidly organizing a hoiding movement Agitation has also been started for vo^^^ie bonding of the local warehouses binder the federal system and that already has been successful according to .Mr. Mills. NOT SO SLOW English people are sometimes called slow but here comes a story of a typist that indicates that there are some fast ones over there. This young lady, who is called the "Queen of the Keyboard," allowed herself to be blindfolded and then typed from .... ?u.. i uii iiiviun <i L mi' line "I 1 .W> WO I'd S U minute. She is said to have achieved a blindfold speed of 1 7words a minute. CONFINED BUT NOT CONQUERED When seven Kentucky moonshiners were put in jail they complained to the jailer that they were not getting enough corn bread. They were particularly fond of corn bread they said. They were such enormous corn bread eaters that the jailer began to investigate. He found in the jail a still made from a coal oil can with a smaller can under to hold fire. The men had distilled more than a pint of liquor from sour cornbread. This story is akin to that of the burglars who got into a police station and stole everything but the safe and the policemen. HE BEAT 'EM ALL The recent Democratic primary in (ieorgia was not the only primary held in the cracker state. In the I I tie town of Whighnm there were twenty-two candidates for mayor and i so it was decided to hold a primary. I The old mayor was re-elected hy a ' small majority, as there were only [ 3d votes cast. He was congratulated j upon winning over so many oppon- ! ents. KAISER STILL ON THE JOB It lias been generally suppoesd that ex-Emperor William, of Ciermany, i has had enough lighting, hut it ! seems from a recent cable that he is I still blood thirsty.
