Mann Replies to Charge of Hayes The error in the Macon county tickets which showed the name of the Republican candidate for the United States Senate as "Johnson S. Hayes" instead of" Johnson J. Hayes" was a typographical error, savs a statement issued by J. J. Mann, chairman of the Macon county elec tion board. iThe error had already been noted, and steps had been taken to correct it, before it was mentioned by Mr, Hayes in his Danbury ad dress, says the statement. Mr. Hayes, in the Danbury speech, made charges of irregularities and specifically mentioned the fact that his middle initial did not appear cor rectly upon the Macon county ballots. We would have thought that Mr, Hayes was well enough known that an error in his middle initial would not have misled the voters, but he evidently doubts it," the stat&ncRt declares. MISS HYATT HONORED A very enjoyable event in the Otto community was a surprise birthday party given Miss Kate Hyatt. Miss Hyatt, " who had been away visiting her sister, Mrs. Clyde West, ot West Mills, returned to her home Saturday , October 16, at about 8:30 o clock, to be greeted by a large number of friends. After several games and a number of proms, the guests were lead into the dining room, which was beauti fully decorated, the color scheme of yellow and white being carried out in every detail. The birthday cake formed the centerpiece for the table. The blowing of the candles by Miss Hyatt afforded much fun. Afterward hot chocolati and cake were served. weaver answers Smathers Regard To Patronage There has not been a postoffice building built in the United States since 1914 that was not under con struction prior to that time, Con gressman Zebulon Weaver declared in a campaign address here yesterday. (Wednesday) afternoon. Mr. Weaver' assertion was in answer to the al leged statement of his opponent, Ken neth Smathcrs, that . the former had not been successful in securing fed eral buildings for this district. Mr. Smathers has" been quoted as saying that, if elected, he would at tempt to secure a federal building for every county in the district. In this connectionf Mr. Weaver declared that, had every Congressman elected two years ago been chosen on such a platform, it would have been im possible to reduce taxes, and it would be necessary to again place upon the taxpayers the excise and nuisance taxes to take care of the demands that would have been made upon the treasury. As a matter of fact, Mr. Weaver said, there is probably not a district in the United States that has more federal activities than, the tenth of this contention, .the. government hospital at Oteen, the forestry ex periment station, thousand? , of acre set aside for national forests, and the proposed Smoky MouW$n Na tional Park. i Mr. Weaver attacked the--Republican claims of economies efied in the national government, anct stated that he favored further rcducYt&n of federal taxes. " He spoke last night at 0tto',and will speak today at 2 oclocl Cowee schoolhouse. V GOOD MORNING, MR. GROUNDHO Wednesday, about noon, while. John Ledford, of the colored race, was go ing along the sidewalk in front o'f the home of Dr. Frank Smith, in the heart of town, he met a big ground hog face to face. Said groundhog; "rared up on his hind laigs" and be gan "grittn' his teeth" at John. Thi was entirely too much, so John started back to town and made the first hundred yards in nothing flat Near the -PresbyJterian church John almost collided' V.tij Mr. Paul West After several mometflSi , Paul finally learned from John that aTJteatamonW' top of the hill. Paul proceeded on his way and killed the groundhog, one of the largest ever seen in this county. It is understood that this groundhog has been making its Tiome jn the vicinity of Dr. Smith's resi dence lor several years. .
