AN AUTO ACCIDENT. j. F. Wilson of
this city was thrown from his carriage last
| Thursday afternoon and had one rib brok-
en- on his right side and was otherwise
bruised. He was accompanied by his wife
and by Mrs. Joseph f. Wilson. When on
narrow road about one mile this side of
| Saturday Cove an auto passed and the horse
| became frightened and jumped, breaking
one of the tugs. The ladies got out and
while Mr. Wilson was repairing the har-
! ness another auto came along giving the
| horse a further fright. When it had passed
| Mr.. Wilson, thinking he had quoted the
| horse, got into the carriage and started on
| to overtake the ladies who had walked
| ahead, but before he reached them the
horse bolted and threw MIR. Wilson out.
| The horse was stopped near the burlington
| place in Northport and Mr.. Wilson got
team to bring the party home and Dr. S. w.
johnson was sent for to attend to his III
jures. Although suffering for some time
from the shock he is now gaining rapidly
and is able to be up and about 1t might
have been a much more serious accident.
THE REPUBLICAN CLUB. At the Young
Mems Republican Club last Friday evening
after short business meeting, the presl-
dent, James H. Howes, presented Hon. Ar
thur l. Brown of Belfast as the speaker.
| Mr.. Brown said he was not an orator and
should make no attempt at oratory, but
J would present some plain facts and figures
relating to the issues of the day. He first
took up the charge of the Democratic press
and orators that the people were oppressed
| by the State tax and completely refuted 1t.
The burden of taxation comes from the
municipal taxa matter in the control OF
the people of the respective municipalities
| and which the State has nothing to do with.
He then made the most lucid explanation OF
the State tax we have yet heard OR read,
showing how this tax is collected and how
| expended The tax collected from the peo-
pie is very small part of the State reVe-
nues and greater amount is returned d.
rectly to the people. Only three towns IN
Waldo county receive less money from the
State than the amount of their State tax,
ana if their nonresident tax is taken into
consideration they also are gamers. The
greater part of the revenue OF the State is
derived from the tax on banks and trust
companies, telegraph, telephone and ex-
press companies, railroads, insurance COM
panies and corporations. Nearly one mil
lion dollars year'g for the support OF
the public schools of the State. The appro-
priation for good roads ami in aid Of the
agricultural societies are directly in the in
terest of the farmers. Hospitals in many
parts of the State are aided and are doing a
good work in saving life and relieving SUI
fering humanity. In discussing the local
political situation Mr.. Brown took up the
record of one of the Democratic candidates
and said that in Waldo county the issue was
between decency and lawlessness. He spoke
for nearly one hour and a half, holding the
close attention of his hearers throughout
and was warmly applauded and heartily
congratulated when he concluded his re-
marks.
