There were a total of 479 votes tallied, and voting was brisk all during the day.

The political fight seemed to be centered on P.L. Moseley and J. Ed. Jordan, candidates for Mayor. At the beginning of the campaign the fight was waged between Wm. M. Landham and Dr. P.L. Moseley, both having a well divided following, when Mr. Landham withdrew from the race, leaving only Mr. Moseley as a candidate for mayor, following the withdrawal of Mr. Landham, Mr. Jordan entered the race and made a whirlwind campaign of a week. Mr. Moseley defeating him by a vote of only 67 majority.

In the race for alderman-at-large, C.E. Turner defeated T.R. Mathews by a vote of 27, and J.W. Brown, Jr. defeated C.C. Peters as alderman from Ward Three by a vote of 143; while Dr. J.D. Ratchford defeated Mr. Jos. Hawkins in the race for alderman from Ward Four.

Now the U.S. takes care of them, the yearly cost greatly exceeding a million dollars. Miss Morris also brought out very clearly the early settlements in South America, their purpose and accomplishment. Miss Hebson read a very interesting paper on the “Settlement of the Jamestown Colonies”.

Miss Thigpen then rendered a beautiful selection on the piano, called “Floating Along.” This was enjoyed very much.

Miss Jessie Berry next read a paper on “Indian Art.” We greatly enjoyed the descriptions of the wonderful things made by the Indians, from the tiny woven baskets, to the gloriously colored Navajo blalnkets. The number concluding the program, the Club adjourned to meet Oct 19th, with Miss Crumpler

The hostess served a delicious ice course.

Sylacauga Quiet Since Convention

Delegates Highly Pleased With Recption Given Them While Here

Sylacauga is a little quiet after the D.A.R. Convention of last week, while our people have an opportunity to reflect and receive congratulations for the success of the meeting. All delegates report a most pleasant time with entertainments far surpassing their expectations, while the attendance record shows that there were more present than at any previous convention. There was not a hitch in the entire program, everything going off in perfect order just as had been planned. Much time and efforts was spent in making the social features something really worth while, and as each day came to a close the isitors were entertained in delightful manners. The final feature was the elaborate Exchange luncheon at Beverly Hall, followed by the U.D.C. reception at the home of Mrs. J.E. Jordan.

Beverly Hall was decorated in national colors with national shields gracefully nestled among the folds of the draping bunting. Over the main entrance was an electric sign “Spirit of ’76″ and just inside the D.A.R. Insignia brilliantly lighted greeted you. There were streamers hanging from the walls, each bearing the name ofone of the original thirteen states. The entire room was lighted by the soft glow of many candles placed on the tables. An elaborate eal was served, and music was rendered by the Sylacauga Orchestra. After the meal a beautiful program was rendered, which consisted of songs, tableau, and musical selections, arranged with costumes and decorations that were the custom in revolutionary days.

The merry party left Beverly Hall for the home of Mrs. Jordan, where the local chapter of the U.D.C. gave a reception that was in keeping with the standard of excellent that has been set at all entertainments of the week. The decorations and music were appropriate to the event. This concluded the social affairs of the meeting.

The final business session was held at the Baptist church Friday morning when it was decided to hold the next meeting at Guntersville in order to permit the delegates to visit the Kate Duncan Smith D.A.T. School located there; and officers for next year were elected as follows:

Mrs. Walter A. Robinson, of Gadsden re-elected regent; Mrs. C.M. Tardy, of Birmingham, vice regent; Mrs. R.M. Jones, of Florence, recording secretary; Mrs. J.E. Jordan, of Sylacauga, corresponding secretary; Mrs. John A. Lusk, Guntersville, historian; Mrs. J.H. Lane, Sylacauga, official reader; Mrs. Fleetwood Rice, Tuscaloosa, registrar; Miss Mary C. Thurber, Mobile, librarian.

Special compliments were extended The Sylacauga News for its D.A.R. issue of last week, and the beautiful program and menu cards made by them were highly complimented. Many expressing surprise that such products could be made in a town of this size.
