Keep Your Eye on the Ring-Vote
for the Australian Ballot.
AUGUST 4, 1891.
Editor Light
Dear Sir: That your paper is the
fearless advocate of honest methods
in administration of the affairs of the
city and county, and. equally fear
less in prompting out from time to
time the dishonest men and corrupt
schemes that are constantly being
enacted by them for private gain and
public dispoilment, is a fact that all
the best people of the community are
beginning to admit on all sides,
Once you fairly carry with you the
confidence and attention of the pub
lie, these fellows will have to take
warning, or they will at last be
bundled off in q hurry. 1t is openly
claimed that the present county
court house site was the condition
of the late political fusion, which
welded the city and county govern
ment into one in%dissoluble union or
ring, to perputuste themselves in
office, and make all they can out of 1t.
The county commissioners are raising
valuations for the taxpayers, at q
time too when they were never so
pressed for money to pay the taxes
The biggest job of all is appointing a
party TO keep a list of men employed
ia doing the cOunty's work, wheA
every business man knows the ONLY
proper way is to advertise and let the
work to the lowest and best bidder.
The contractors may as well try some
other vocation. 1t is generally be-
lieved the ring men are taking no il =
terest in defeating the Australian
ballot system to be voted on
in one week. If this becomes the
law, IL will greatly facilitate the
matter of getting rid of Objectionable
men IN office, and will enable the
people, practically, TO put in Office
the men they want there. l simply
ask in this connection, what means
the crowds of Mexicans who arrive
almost every day on the freight
trains coming to San Antonio from
the direction of Laredo? A car will
be full of them, and on top will be
standing or sitting from twenty to
thirty more L saw it several times
lately. Are they coming in tor work,
to the exclusion of honest, and intel
ligent and loyal English-speaking
workmen, as has been the rule? No,
hardly. There are too many of them.
They are coming in to vote. The
public enemy is very wise. He is
keeping very quiet, because he
well knows that to come
out openly and work to defeat this
honest measure is to fly into the face
of the public sentiment; but he is
is quietly at work, and working hard.
A man in extremes is sometimes 80
busy gritting his teeth that he has
no time to talk. Then it is when he
is doing his hardest work. To those
who are In favor of honest, economical
government L say. don't stay at home
and let these vile creatures perpetuate
their rule. Go to the polls and vote.
Vote by all means, and let us have
the Australian ballot system, and be
free men. Yours,
FAIR PLAY.

JOsKE's LATEST MOVE.
To Infuse Increased Life in the
Clothing Trade.

Clothing Trade.
To accommodate a monstrous stock of
Clothing the Joske Brothers intend
purchasing this Fall, workmen have
been busily engaged the past three
weeks carrying out such improve
ments as will enable them to still
more extend their already large cloth
ing area and display their new goods
to better advantage.
AS a sequel to these plans we will
clear out all Summer Apparel AT
AND BELOW COST. This latter asser-
ton we know many, who have been
humpugged by riff raft Clearance
sales, will doubt, and to those es-
pecially we crave q rigid inspection

A CHINA RACKET. Little Lee
Ling was the center Of an excited
throng of Mougols Thursday.
Some kind Asiatic to please the iii
putiau pigtail wearer tied cord
around six-inch crawfish and Lee
played horse with him. The small
sized lobster saw chance and nip
ped young Ling by his little tie,
who began war dance interspersed
with war whoops that would raise
the dead in the Chinese cemetery on
the hill mile away. All the Mon
golsin the block came running and,
there was the greatest excitement.
The philosopher of the block held Lee
Ling and tried to remove the "crab"
when it got him with its other
pincher and then there was more
music as of Chinese New Year
celebration. 1t was half an hour
before all was quiet and Lee will
not play wagon with a crawfish
soon again.

Footprints of a Giant steed and Rider.

Footprints of Giant steed and Rider
There is a fiat rock near the old
Echols mill that covers an acre OF
ground. One of the strange features
of the rock is the track of some huge
beast of burden, also the tracks of the
rider of this queer antediluvian mon
ster. 1t seems that the rider and his
steed made q tour across the rock,
leaving their tracks impressed in the
solid granite.
About midway of the stony surface
can be seen place where the girth OF
the riders saddle broke and he dis
mounted to fix it, leaving his tracks as
plain as If made in a sand bed. The
hand of time has not erased them, but
they are there now, showing the form
of the animals feet and the precise inn
preston of the giants feet impressed
therein, with toes and all as perfect and
distinct as a schoolboy's bare foot track
of oday.-CrawfoFd Cor. Atlanta Con-

Conductor Tells Ifow tie Receives
Plugged Coin from Those who Ride.
While coming down town recently on
a Broadway surface car a particularly
loquacious and observant conductor
gave me some curious facts concerning
the pecuniary characteristics of the
many people with whom he had come
in contact His particular enemy, ac-
cording to his remarks, appears to have
been woman, no matter what position
in society she occupied.
They never had change, he said, and
when they did happen to have any
thing smaller than a silver dollar the
cash invariably proved to be the OBJ
noxious penny.
Women" said he, "are the worst
passengers we have to carry. When
ask them for their fare they will spend
fifteen minutes searching through their
purses and pockets for pennies, al
though several nickels are right at
hand
"And for bad money they beat the
deck. You will hardly believe the
truth of the statement, but nine-tenths
of the plugged quarters and lead five
cent pieces receive come from them.
''The better clothes a woman wears,
find, the more likely they are to have
Inutilated coin.
IL never got even bad penny even
from a working girl.
Several months ago there was
young miss about seventeen years old,
always attired in the latest fashion, who
would frequently get on my car at
Thirty-fourth street and ride up town
to the park. And l never saw such
girl for passing bad coin. Every trip
she would hand me either a plugged
quarter or half dollar Finally | got
tired and asked her where she got itG
" 'Ohr she replied, as sweetly as you
please, I've got several brothers and
they give me all the bad money they
get. l give it to you because you can
pass it off on somebody else.'
That took my breath away. After
that she never passed any more of her
brothers bad money ON lie and she
stopped riding on my car
II suppose she is working it off now
on some other conductor.
Working women, especially shop
girls, never think of pennies OF bad
money. They have their fare ready
when they get on the car and hand it
over without any fuss the minute l ask
for it, They work themselves and prob
ably appreciate the fact that all bad
money l turn into the receiver comes
out of my wages at the end of the week.
THE other women, l guess, don't
know that.
DO ever have trouble with men9
Oh, yes a handsomely dressed fellow
swindled me out of two dollars.
How did it happen9
"Well, the fellow got on the car up
town after the theater. He wore full
dress suit, and when l asked for his
fare he handed me a two dollar bill, at
the same time apologizing because he
had nothing smaller. He left his change
in another coat. / looked at the bill
and it appeared all right, so gave him
the change That night it was handed
back at the receivers window. Ii
proved to be counterfeit, so lost the
two dollars.
Little things like that come hard on
a man with five children and wife to
support on two dollars day."
had arrived at my destination, and
expressing my sympathy left the car.

DIL.-The Salem Truck and Dray
o., has the agency for distributing
oil for the Standard Oil Co. The
SYSTEM employed is the same as in
the east. Oil will be sold in bulk to
the stores, where stationary tank
will be kept. The grocer will then
sell by the gallon, effecting a saw
ing of at least cents a gallon to the
consumer. This reduction in rates
is In part recognition of the fight
made by the JOURNAL last year
against this outrageous monopoly.
OF course the monopoly is now
stronger than ever but the consumer
will get oil trifle cheaper.
