delectable feed was served, although
the size of the gathering swamped

The boat which has been under
construction for some time and upon

the expert advice Nadie Schultz could
offer in the way of engineering, has
behaved nicely since being slid into
the waters of the Big Muddy on
Labor day. While the engine has
not got fully limbered up . yet, it is
performing nicely and the .boat slips
along over the water with the agility
"she" might be expected to have con
sidering the time and labor that was
expended in her construction.
We refer to it as "she" although
it has not yet been christened. How
ever, Mr. Wynn is in favor of naming
it. "She-Broke-l's." Whether this is
a fact or not, we do not know.
Mr. Coleman has suggested call

VOTES AYE
THE CHANGES
RESULT OF ELECTION YESTER
DAY INDICATES A GREAT
LACK OF INTEREST.
THIRTY PER CENT VOTE CAST
All Amendments Carried with the
Thirty-Eighth Running Low
est Over the County.
From Wednesday's Dally.
The result of the special election
for the constitutional amendment
which occurred yesterday was one
of the lightest in the number of
votes cast in the state in yr.ars and
indicated tiiat the voters in general
had given but little thought to the
changes made In he organic law of
the state.
;The vote indiactes that only
thirty per cent of the voters availed
themselves of the opportunity to
make an expression of their desires
at the bullot box and in the county.
Tipton precinct indicated the great
est interest as 106 votes was cast
there out of a voting strength f
over :500.
The only one of the proposed
amendments that had been subject
ed t': any organized light was that
of article ZS. which proposed the
creating of the means of an indus
trial courc to settle labor disputes
and matters arising between the em
ployers and the employes. In this
city i:'.4 men and :?7 women voted
for the amendment and 1"3 men
and seven wi men against which gavrj
the amendment a majority of ;io in
the city. In the country precincts
the amendment ran much better as
it was opposed largely by laboring
interests and will carry the county
although by a smaller majority than
that of the others.
Article No. 2 which gave the right,
to regulate by law the property
rights of the aliens was vot?d
against heavily in the country dis
tricts but will carry the co mty.
---From Teporf- over the state from
the few counties reporting it seems
that the changes made by th" con
stitutional convention will be car
ried by substantial majorities and
will become the law of the state in
the future. As a whole the changes
made are beneficial and will give
the state a much more modern in
strument under which to operate.
