ed among Republicans by some OF

His advocacy of pervetual fran

coupled with a perpetual guarantee
OF Income, shows that me looks al
the point of corporations rather
than from the standpoint of the
public.
No real reform can be expected
from the Republicans. because they
are too deeply indebted TO the pre-
da,ory interests for their support
and If Secretary Taft who is con.

department quarters. Had the city

ings been set off from the city
hall they probably would have been
authorized.
Another thing which figured to
no small extent in the voting was
the present financial stringency in
the country. True Marion is not
suffering to any marked extent just
now from the strlngency, but the
feeling OF fear is universal and the
property owners are very shy about
doing anything which will likely
increase their taxes.
Another cause for the defeat of
the measures was the statement
which was given some publicity,
that building would not be begun
at this time. One argument in
favor of building at this time was
the opportunity which would be
afforded the city to assist in solv-
ing the question of the unemployed
and the possibility OF this work
being put off for year or two dis
heartened the men who were ex-
pected TO assist in carrying the
measures.
One thing is certain, these build.
ing propositions will have to be
faced again by the voters and the
time will not be very far distant.
We do not me jflj
We do not mean to intimate that
the city council will proceed to
authorize another special election
at this time or in the near future.
However this may be, we are un-
able to say, but the time is COM
ing when something will have to
be done. The old city hall cannot
last always. 1t is now inadequate
to the needs of the city and the
time Is not very far distant when
II must be replaced by a modern
structure.

NEGROES
RIOTINC
Police Reserves are Called
Out to Quell a Disturb
ance at Augusta.

Augusta. Ca, April 1.-THE police
reserves were called out here yester-
day to quell a riot among negroes at
Twiggs and Charles streets, Mack
Fryers. a negro, was fatally shot by
the police.
The trouble originated in the neg
ro settlement when a policeman at
tempted to quell disturbance.
FryerS resented the officers inter-
ference and when the police at
tempted to arrest him, pulled gun.
Flyers father held the pistol and
prevented It's discharge. Other ne
groes rushed up and John Fryers, a
brother OF Mack Fryers, drew re-
volver and threatened Policeman
Horne. A riot call was sent In and
a dozen policemen stopped further
demonstrations after Mack Fryers
had been shot.

VERDICT OF THE VOTERS

The special election OF Monday
resulted very differently from what
was supposed. For some weeks II
has been almost a foregone conclu-
sion that some of the building
propositions would carry. 1T was
conceded In business circles that
The voters would authorize the
building of a city hall and possibly
fire department home. and there
were many who supposed that the
new market house would be added
TO this list but the count of the
ballots shows that not enough votes
we're cast for any single measure
to carry 1t through.
AS stated before the election was
held, in elections of this kind, il is
necessary that a two thirds vote
be registered for the bond issue TO
carry it through. The returns show
that the city hall received 1912
affirmative and 1856 negative votes;
the fire department home had 1924
friends and $50 enemies and the
market house was favored by an
even 1000 men and opposed by 921.
1t will be seen that each PROPOSE
tion had more friends than enc.
mics. but not enough.
A glance at the returns will
show that the vote cast was a light
oen when compared with that of
last fall. Last fall there were cast
for mayor 41O5 votes cast while
the greater number of votes cast
for any one of the three PROPOSE
tons, Monday was 1874. While the
propositions were all lost, yet the
wish of the people as a whole has
not yet been secured. The exact
feeling in the matter can be Sc
cured only when the total vote is
cast at a special election but this
can never be secured.
In all probability any one of the
building propositions would have
carried had 1t not been hooked up
with the other two. The idea OF
building three structures at one
time. city hall, fire depart
ment home and a market house
was more than the average taxpay-
er cared to attempt to tackle and
sentiment became so badly divided
that there was no concerted action
for any one. Some were In favor
OF building market huose and
fire department, some favored q

WORKED A SCHEME TO
AFFECT HIS SWEETHEART

niarysyille, o., April 7.--Leonard
Amrine, aged 20, son OF Monroe Am
rine, could not be awakened Monday
morning, and 1t was thought that he
had committed suicide. Two physi-
clans worked with him for some time
before he came to. The doctors al
iege that he was only shamming
Amrine had a vial In his pocket
which he claimed was poison and he
threatened to take II. The physi-
clans examined the bottle and stat
ed that II contained nothing but
water One OF the physicians sug-
gested that a luarge fly blister be
placed on his back and he would
come out OF his trance. Amrine ov-
erheard this and opened his eyes.
II Is thought Amrine's actions were
for the purpose OF working on his
sweetheart's affections.
