The Democrat showed symptoms OF
raising the black flag" in its issue
of Friday morning. The editor killed
nearly half column in telling about
the independency of the Democrat
and how 1t was going to hew to the
quick this fall. The BLACK flag"
however, was not waved. Even the
SURFING spectacle of the judiciary
not believing the editor under oath
was passed up. But We must bear in
mind the deal that retires the colonel
on the frst OF July along with the
money consideration? 1t was part OF
the bargain that the "black flag be

the Democrats would not agree TO

MAYOR MCNALLY TELLS OF
TRIP TO CHICAGO.
Successful in Bend Matters NO Bonds
Have Been Issued Matter Now
Lett to City Council.

About one year ago the citv
council voted liquidating bonds
for $25, 600. These bonds were
never issued, have never been
drawn up, only the vote to issue
and the papers pertaining to the
action are in existence. Mr.. Nc
Nally wishes this clearly under
stood, as statements to the con-
trary have been made in the re-
cent campaign. Shortly after
the bond was voted, the papers
were sold above para good
price for !! per cent. bonds. But
because the town charter expires
in 1912 and the bonds were to 40
year contracts. they were de-
clared illegal, invalid by the at
toIneys for the bond buyers.
Thereupon the city had a bill
passed in the last legislature VAL
idating the bonds. The bonds
We're again sold to S. A. Keane,
of Chicago, at par. Keane was
unreliable and was holding the
papers until he could sell them to
some one else at good profit.
AS Keane had the matter tied
up, the Council of Union sent the
city attorney and Mayor McNally
to Chicago to straighten it out
and get the bond papers. After
some trouble, the papers were Sc
cured from Keane.
Mr.. McNally and the attorney
then sold the papers to Season
good & Mayer, of CINCINNATI, at
par. Of course, this sale is to
be confirmed by the city council
and then the bonds will be is
sued.

March to the Sea-"

A son of Gen. Sherman, a
Catholic priest, left Chattanooga
for Atlanta, accompanied by an
escort of soldiers. He intended
going eeTer the journey of his
fathers March to the sea''-
anyway as far as Atlanta. Pres
ident Roosevelt issued an order
t R1esata:o 1aa a. ~'fhhs fhh7ss for Iiis reason
that the newspapers raised a
great protest against the thing.
The son of Gen. Sherman has
the right to make this trip, if he
wishes to do so, but the govern
ment shows a lack of considera-
tion for the people of the South
when he is granted a detachment
of soldiers to escort him; and the
case is not much better if he ac-
companies the soldiers as their
guest. There is no name in
American history that the South
ern people despise more strongly.
Smouldering ruins and forlorn
women and children form the
background of every picture of
this invader of our Southern
country.
