Stanton Dotson said today, "I'm not considering attempting to get on the Democratic ballot" for state's attorney in the November election. An unofficial tabulation Friday revealed that Dotson, the Republican candidate, tied for the highest number of write-in votes for state's attorney on the Democratic ballot.

The official canvass showed that Mattoon attorney John J. McCarthy Jr. received 27 votes. Dotson's write-in votes were not tabulated in the official canvass, but an unofficial count If if Iff Wg 1 WAY BACK WHEN This wagonload of cabbage was ready for delivery to Berkowitz's fruit and vegetable business when the picture was taken in about 1916.

Pearcy. 18, of Charleston was By DAVID POLING An important eyewitness to the Crucifixion was a Centurion at the foot of the Cross.

He was stationed there, with other soldiers, to see that Pilate's orders were carried out. During the three hours of torture and dying, the Centurion at the Cross observed the love, compassion, and, caring of Jesus Christ. The words and way of the prophet from Galilee reached into his heart, and he exclaimed to those around him, "Truly, this was the Son of God." He became the first Gentile witness to affirm that Jesus was of God. The words of the Centurion at the foot of the Cross were important for he was an important and leader of men. In a world torn with civil uncertainty and national upheaval, the Centurion was the remaining center of strength and unswerving loyalty to his post.

It apparently is not certain whether it would be legally possible for Dotson to be on both ballots in November.

If Dotson did desire to be the Democratic candidate, he ap-' parently would have to ask for i a recanvass of the vote and; then face a drawing of lots to break the tie between McCarthy and himself. If Dotson won, he would then be considered the write-in winner. Dotson said of the write-in total: "That's a fine compliment from some of my. friends who vote in the Democratic party."
