THK JOHNSON—WATSON CONTEST.

No Presidential Contest Has Ever Stirred Henry County as This CoBgressional Race.

The people of Henry county have done but little the past two weeks except to talk about and work in the race for the Congressional nomination between Henry U. Johnson and James E Watson. It is the greatest contest of the kind ever in the State, but it will be all settled tomorrow, and no doubt harmoniously.

So far as the co utestants are concerned we know it will be. The Journal correspondence today, says that the charges that imported men will get to vote ia trash. In the several voting precincts the voters are so well known that it would lie useless for a nonresident to attempt to vote. Further-more, while the Republicans of this county are terribly in earnest about this election, there is a sentiment for fair play that out-weighs any prejudice in favor of either candidate and it is safe to say that any attempt on the part of either side to introduce into this contest Southern Democratic methods would meet with summary and effective resistance.

Any information here as]to the showing of the poll is of the most meager character. Both sides have polled the county and the claims that are made are based on the showing these polls make, but the leaders on both sides are too good politicians to reveal what their books show. It is safe to say, however, that these two polls would show some very glaring discrepancies and it is also safe to say that both polls are far from correct. Men engaged In making the polls agree that it is a much more difficult thing to make an accurate poll as between two candidates within the same party than as between the two parties. So far as the betting shows, the chances of the two candidates are about even.

One bet of $150 even was made last Saturday and several wagers of from ten to fifteen dollars have beea made, all at even money.

Trouble Among the Bottle Blowers.

Last night a bottle blower who was sick, went to his boarding house, and by mistake got into the wrong bed, the men who roomed in the room came home about two o'clock drunk and raised a row, driving him out and threatening to shoot him. They pointed revolvers at his head and abused him in several ways. He at last escaped and came to town after an officer. He appealed to the city Marshal, who refused tc go, saying he had no right to go to the country without a warrant. He then went to the Sheriff who refused tp go for same reason. He remained in town all night afraid to return home. Warrants are now out for the men, but they have not been served.

Anderson Theatre Company.

At the Opera House tonight the great play "Pawn Ticket 210" will be produced by the Anderson Theatre Company. Several charming specialties will be introduced including the Serpentine dance by Miss Watson. Wednesday night that truly wonderful play "In Old Kentucky" will be presented. A real live horse *s used in this great play. There are several exciting incidents in this big production, including the rescue of the horse from the burning stable, and famous race track scene. Miss Watson in full jockey costume, wins the thrilling race 011 the Kentuckey Thoroughbred, ''Queen Bess." Matinee Saturday at 2 p. m., 10 cents for everybody

Citizens ot OtetuHsld.:

Having implicit confident^ ii^ the unstinted" riospUalit, of the people of our city, 3.., wade an earnest effort?to obtain the Semi-?Annual State Missionary Convention of the Christian church and was successful in securing it. The convention will be held here on the 21st, 22nd and 23: of April. There will be present not lesss than 100 delegates and ministers nor more than 200, The helping Hand Society of the (. hristian church will entertain all present for dinner and supper each day, and the citizens of our city will be courteously a*-ked to assist in entertaining the convention over night. Being almost a strar ger to many of the people of our city, having only been here a short time I hesitate to mention the matter personally to you, and it will relieve me very qtuch to have those who may wish to assist in making those who may attend at home in our fair city, to hand me their names and the number they would be pleased to entertain.

We hope this may be made a matter of reciprocity among the churches as the membership of the Christian church will at any time gladly assist her neighbor churches in entertaining any of their church assemblies.

A rich program has been prepared by the committee. Able men, not only of our own state, but from Ohio and Kentuckey will address the people.

You can sea me personally, or address Lock Box 563, City. Yaurs fjaternally, •['P

A Woman and a Baby Makes Thing Lively for a Greeiiueld Man.

Yesterday evening a woman with a young babe in her arms and blood in her eye, came to this city from Indianapolis and started up the street on the hunt of apoliceman she spied deputy. Marshal Lynam and demanded that he go with her to the home of Dode Boles who lives on South Scatn treet. She said that he was the father of the child,she was carrying and that her daughter was the motLer that her daughter was sick in a hospital at Indianapolis, also that Boles had promised to take care of the child but failed to show up and that she had come over to make him keep his promise. Lynam turned her over to eity Marshal Scott who showed her to Bole's home and left her. She evidently did not succeed in her undertaking as she left on the 9 25 train taking the child with her. ^s Boles ia a married man and has two children large enough to go to school we imagine there was a lively time at his home.
