 The fire ignited 225 pounds of black powder and that caused four cases Of dynamite which was in the house to explode.

MUST STICK TO PARTY.
Dispensary Men Can Gain Nothing oS
 Joining Republicans.

Di.peusary Men Gan Gain Nothing ny
 Joining Republicans.
 Decatur. Sept. 6.-(Special. ) NO Republican can accomplish anything for us. If we ever gain our indepeno- enee from the bar rooms. it must come tbroueh the Democratic Party" Thus writes the Rev. s. E. Wasson in an open letter The Rev. s. F.. Wasson Is the pastor of the First Methodist Church of this city and was the chair man of the Central Dlspensary Corh- mittee." He was one of the prlrfe movers in the light in this county TOT dispensary for Decatur and New Deca- disfensary candidates went down in defeat and the saloon men won the day.
 After thanking those whc voted for the dispensary the Rev. Mir. Wasson goes on to say in his letter to the pub lie We lost the battle ter lack of votes. I want to record my belief that we had a clean and honest election. We are satisfied we lost by tatE count.
 We made the fight in the interest of temperance and good morals. And even defeat has not caused us to lose hope in the ultimate victory. This pri- mary was only a. preliminary. The battle is yet to come. Let no man take off his armor.
 What wIl the next move be? Well, that depends on the circumstances. Mir. Sample (one of the, anti-dispensary nominees for the Legislature) pledged himself in his revised platform, and in every speech heard him make, to use his best efforts to pass the dispensary bill and refer it to the Decaturs for ratification. Both Mir. Sample and MT. Long (the other legislative nominee) declared that they would stand for the general local option law that the anti Saloon League is proposing. And con- fidently expect that they will do so."
 He then requests every Democrat to stand by the party and says, Vote for Sample and Long They are the nomi- nees."
 AS leader of the dispensary move ment in this county the Rev. S. E. Wasson fails to say what action will be taken by the dispensary advocates in the event that the Legislature this winter fai;s to pas the General Local Option Law" which he says both Rep resentatives of tl4is county are pledged to support.
