SANCTUM PARAGRAPHS.
—A large nimiber a voters must
have remained at home in Centre
Huron. Conservatives and Liberals
seem to think that many voters on
each side refrained.
*
—Again comes the rumor from
Ottawa that the Dominion elections
are likely to be over before the end of
October. At least, the indications
point to that month, as the choice
Rumor, however, is often unreliable,
* * *
—By a new amendment of the
liquor License Act, if a person on the
"Indian List" is found under the influ-
ence of liquor, he may be brought
fore the license inspector and forced
to tell where he obtained the liquor,
or be sent to jail until he does.
* * *
—It may be interesting to note the
total vote in this county in the recent
election. Here it is :—
Conservative Liberal
North Huron... 2,293 2.122
Centre " 1.885 2,051
South " 2,365 1,982
6,513 6.155
Total vote cast ...... —12,698
* * *
—Henry S. Gere, editor of the
Hampshire Gazette, Mass., is the old-
est editor in that state, being in his
eightieth year, and is still in the edi-
torial chair. So far as age is concern-
ed, this is surpassed by Jno. T. Ang-
ell, of "Dumb Animals," who does all
the editorial work of his paper, and is
in his eighty-sixth year. Here are
two cases where power to wield the
pen shows little diminution with in-
ereaseel age.
* * *
—The returns for the province are
now fully compiled, and show the fol-
lowing :—
Conservatives elected
Liberals elected
Laborite "

Total 106
The Government's majority, count-
ing the Labor vote with the Opposi-
tion, will be 68. Should Mr. Stud-
holme support the Government, the
majority would be 70. The last Legis-
lature was composed of 70 Conserva-
tives, 27 Liberals and one Labor.
--Passengers by the P. P. R. for the
Northwest, have for the past 22 years;
had to travel by the Grand Trunk
from Toronto to North Bay. This is
now changed, as the new C. P. R.
line from Toronto to Sudbury is now
open, and in good trim. The distance
is 263 miles, and the stations are :—
Mnskoka, Barnsdale, Parry Sound,
Carling, Point Au Basil, Naiscutyong,
Byng Inlet, Pickerel, Rutter, Paget
and Burwash. This new branch will
mean a great saving in time to pas-
sengers for the West. It is estimated
that at least eight hours will be saved.
The first passenger train left Toronto
on Sunday evening, and was made up
of the finest coaches on the road. The
Jest freight train over the new branch
left on Monday evening, and consisted
of fifty-five cars leaded with imple-
ments made by Massey -Harris Co..

—Some people are inclined to think,
that the very large Conservative
majority may be a, source of danger to
the province. We do not think so.
The majority was large in the last
Legislature, and the province was not
stranded, but the government was
honestly and wisely administered. In
the hands of some men, a very large
majority might prove to be a menace
to the country's interest, but we
believe Hon. J. P. Whitney to be a
man of sterling principle. To him, the
very large majority brings increased
responsibility, and We believe be
recognizes that fact, and will act
accordingly. A majority for A. G.
MacKay would have been a real dan-
ger, that the electors of Ontario wise-
ly, kept as far away from as possible,
byiendorsing Hon. J. P. Whitney by
' the largest majority ever given an
Ontario premier.

Wingham Still Winning.
The Wingham ball -tossers travelled
to Lucknow on Friday to play the
Sepoys the first league game of the
season, and won, the score being 6 to
6 in favor of Wingham. The score in
no way indicates the play, as Wing -
ham had the cross on Lucknow _in
every department of the game, and
only in one innings did Lucknow
score, when three errors and a few
safe bungles secured five runs. Both
batteries did stellar work, but the
feature of the game was Barrett's
catching and throwing.

—Some aged voters are reported to
have been anxious to cast their vote
at the recent election. The Mitchell
Advocate tells of two—Ex-Warden
Keyes, of Logan, who is over 81 years
cit age, insisted on being carried to the
polls to cast his vote for Hon. Nelson
Monteith, and Mr. Peter Carnpbell,
who is in his 07th year, walked three
miles to vote for Mr. Stock. The
Markeletle Standard reports the case of
John McRae �f Collingwood town-
ship, who was the first to poll his vote
for L B. Lneas, and the peculiarity is,
that he is past .one hundred years of
age, and still maintains his facalties,
so that be was able to mark his bal-
lot without any assistanee. But the

Worth Trying.
There are several ways to rid one's
premises of the black ant. Where
they exist in colonies or hills, break
the mound open with a spade and
apply a liberal amount of common
salt to the spot. This will discourage
the ants and they will be seen no
more in that locality. Boiling water
applied either alone or in connection
With the salt is a more effective reme-
dy as it will exterminate them on the
spot, whereas the salt treatment
simply causes them to migrate. If
they get into the pantry set out a dish
of honey, and you will soon trap
the whole colony. Small twigs of
ceder strewn around will sometimes
discourage them.
A New Rector.
Rev. C. E. Jeakins, B. A., B. D., rec-
tor of St. John's Church, Huntingdon,
Quebec, has, it is announced, been ap-
pointed rector of St. Paul's, Wingham.
Mr. Jeakins is a young man of about
thirty years of age. He graduated at
McGill University, Montreal, as B. A.,
in 1899. He completed his theological
course al the Diocesan College in the
same city, in 1901, and was the medal-
list of -his class. He was ordained in
the same year and stationed at Arun-
del, Que., which he•resigned in 1003 to
accept a call to his present charge at
Huntingdon. In 1906 he took his B.
D. degree, under the regulations of Kincardine Baseball team passed
the Provincial Synod. Mr. Jeakins through here on Friday on their way
was at college with the former rector to Blyth, where they trimmed the
of St. Paul's, Rev. T. S. Boyle, and ball -tossers of that village.
