Just what the estate consists Of and
in what condition 1t Is now, after the

with the Gould and other roads to the

Lincoln's Georgia Vote.

Only two votes were cast In
Georgia in 1850 for Lincoln.
one of the voters, "Uncle" Billy
Bowers, is still living in Frank
lin. Ca. and is nearly 80 years
of age. He was born in Georgia
and went to the place he now re-
sides when he was 3 years old.
The above clipping, taken from
Kansas City Star of recent date,
calls to the mind of an "old-
timer how strange, indeed, are
the vicissitudes of the political
makeup of our great country.
In cur own country in 1861
james w. Long, a. citizen OF
Brunswick, cast the only vote in
Charlton county for Abraham
Lincoln. Hailing as he did from
old Virginia, no little was the
censure heaped upon him for
this act, especially from those
old friends from the same Shen
andoah valley.
During the next presidential
campaign, in the very midst Q.
the bloody civil war in 1864, this
same Jim Long and Buck Har
Lolrodas were the only two II
this county who ventured to vote
for McClelland against Lincoln
envolving more nerve and rlsl
than when Long voted for tn
great Lincoln four years pre-
yious. And strange to say tina
not few who were free to cen
sure Long in 1850 could get t
the polls quick enough to cas-
their votes for Lincoln in 18t
against Clelland. Long we

The Constitutional Amendments.

The Constitutional Amendments.
The COURIER does not believe
that the voters of Charlton coun-
ty would make mistake by vot-
ing for every one of the proposed |
constitutional amendments.
The first only affects the cities
of st. Louis, Kansas City and
St. joseph, and authorizes the
Legislature to pass lav per-
hitting those cities or other
eiJies in this state that
may hereafter attain pop
ulation of 100000 or over, to
create and mainta.n pension
fund for disabled or superannu-
ated policemen and for the relief
of the widows and children Of
such policemen. Unique. ion-
ably such an amendment i just
and right and it ought to meet
the approval OF the voters of the
state.
The second amendment gives
the people the right to vote on
laws that are passed by the leg
, islature, and unless those laws
are approved by the people they
cannot become effective. AS the
voice of the people is the voice
t of God, we believe there is moth
!, ing wrong in allowing them tt
t pass upon the laws proposed TO
t their government.
d Amendment three provides TO
Y tax levy of five cents on tn
J. S1OO wherewith to furnish fre
v text books for public schoo
e children. So far as text book
v are concerned the adoption c
: this amendment will place a
i. public school children on a
sr equal footing, aud no child nee
