bellion Senator Kirkman said there
we're always two traits of the soldiers
characters which he had thought the
American people should keep sa-
cred and secure. The first of these
he said was the confidence of the SOL
diers. They had confidence in their
cause, their fellows and their leaders.
The second was duty. His duty was
implanted in his heart and each had
taken an oath to perform il.
Senator Kirkman said that al.
though We should strike down fraud
whenever it showed it's snaky head
yet that the people should have con.
fidence in their neighbors and in
their public officers. He showed that
the country was now blessed with
many able, patriotic and self sacrific'
ing leaders.

Mr.. RatIiff Last Speaker.

Walter Ratliff was the last speaker
of the afternoon. He said that he had
come more as a visitor than as a
speaker, having become so accustom-
ed to journeying to Bethel in that ca
pacity to eat of their opossum and
sweet potatoes. Mr.. Ratliff said that
he always looked on the veterans Of
the civil war as having a special, dis
tinction over most veterans whose
deeds blazoned the pages of history.
This distinction he felt was the
cause for which the soldiers fought,
not for lust and conquest but with
Liberty written on their banners.
Following Mr.. Ratliffs speech the
veterans and many others in the au-
dience laid wreaths and bouquets of
flowers on the monument erected to
the unknown dead in the front yard
of the church.
The committee named to have
charge of the next years program is
as follows: Irwin Anderson, c. E. Wi
ley, Albert Anderson, John Harding
and William Boyd.

ter than shouts, graves, stronger than

Memorial Day, Mr.. Condo said, was
not only in remembering the honored
dead, but in calling their deeds to
mind and giving us renewed zeal and
love of country. He said that the
dream of fighting fields was no more
and that the lessons now to be learned
were those of preserving and perpet.
uating the government by peaceful
means.
Important Duty to Perform.
Continuing he said:
I'VE have, as important a duty to
perform as those did to whom we pay
tribute. The National structure
meant no more to them than It should
to us at the present time. The neces.
sity of guarding it's sacred precepts no
more or no less. The question for us
is whether or not We comprehend and
understand what is necessary for the
preservation and perpetuation of them.
Greater problems never confronted us.
There are NO new rights of citizenship
to strive for, but there is a problem
that of upholding the time honored
rights. There is another problem
the humiliation of the domestic foe
The war of right and might is on us
once more, might in the persons of un.
relentless, heartless gold hunters.
There are two paths which lead to the
solution of these problems, concern.
ing public warfare. One is that of
bloody war, the other is that of the
bloodless ballots. AS the warriors
whose memory we here honor, went
forth in the sixties to the stern com
mand of their officers, so today we
should go forth to the polls with our
conscience guiding us. Our greatest
need is heroes of peace"

from Congressman Watson in which

WOULD FORCE POLL TAX COLLECTION
Democratic Central Committee Urges
 Sheriff to Collect at Polling Places.

Sheriff to Collect at Polling Places. Letters have been sent to all the sheriffs in the state by the Democratic State Central Com mittee suggesting that the sher- ifs have deputy at each of the polling precincts who shall pro- ceed to collect poll tax from all those who present themselves to vote without having paid their poll tax. The letter explains that the law provides no exemp- ton from collection of poll tax and states that the sheriff may attach horses or property of any character for the collection of the poll tax. The collection if made on election day with fees and de- linquent additions amounts to bout S4 for each voter. Under the election law the sheriff must have a deputy at each of the yot- ing places and the letter suggests that the sheriffs have their depu- ties see to the collection of the poll tax from all who ask to vote without having paid their poll tax.
 The letters were issued because of a general announcement made by the Republicans that they in- tend to disregard the poll tax mendment. It is evident from the tone of the circulars issued by the Republicans that many of them will seek to vote without presenting poll tax receipts. The letters issued by the Democratic State Committee are for the pur. pose Of showing the SnetiHS tnat they are empowered to collect the poll tax with penalties at any time.
 Captain F. w. Tucker. chair mat of the Democratic State Ger. ,ral Committee, still maintains that election officials who refuse 70 permit anyone to vote with out poll tax receipt, are liable to damages by their action if the poll tax amendment is later de- clared invalid by the Supreme court, in spite of the claim that Chancellor Carroll's decision, holding the amendment legally adopted, protects the officials
 He said yesterday: "Chancellol Carroll's decision, am informed only holds good as far as ths parties therein are concerned"

On beyond the auditorium is the Sunday School room 48x35 feet. By means of a rolling par tition the Sunday School room may be thrown open so as to be- come part of the auditorium or entirely cut off from it.
