Sayre, Ala.

Specialize tie Ne70S.
We have plenty of work here and
everything is going on in the old fash
toned way. Old Conner is still alive.
The hop jack stand down by the
bridge is closed and the old sots look
like thirty cents. They are funny
looking crowd "shore." Big men, lit
tie men, poor men and fat men. There
is one man that belongs to the hop
iackgang that is too big for man and
not big enough for horse. 1t looks
like be would net three hundred
pounds.
NJ. Milligan and Jake Houts, with
their families, got back from Oklaho-
ma the last day Of July.
Albert and Clarence Smith came to
our town few days ago and Albert
has gone from here. Clarence has
worked half day. He is wondering
what has become Of the folks at home.
He is boarding with G. W. Jones.
If you see my boys in Illinois tell
them to write to me. Tell them l am
still living, although old Conner
makes life hard road to travel.
The candidates are in the field again
and what makes me proud is l can
vote. I once thought I would vote
democratic if it shut the world down.
Now it is Socialism with me.
There is big meeting going on
out on the road. A few weeks ago
there was tent meeting here in our
town and some of the old men said
that they guessed that they would
have to rent hell out though it was
not the case. Mhere was something
in the hall in Sayre and some of the
fair sex danced themselves out OF
business and the boys went back to
the hopjack and don't you guess that
the devil said Amen? Bonnie Boy.

TO Eject CONGER
COL. SHOOK TAKES STEPS
TO REMOVE UNDESIRABLE
BUSINESS FROM HIS
LANDS.

Eiectment proceedings are instituted
by Col A. NJ. Shook, on whose lands
w. p. Conger is conducting the only
saloon in Tennessee. 1t seems that
Col. Shook leased these lands to Nc
Minnville man for pasturage purposes,
who sub .leased them to W. P. Conger
for saloon purpose, unknown to Col.
Shook. Conger leased the whole noun
tain top from the McMinnville party,
and started saloon and for while
did rushing business, conveying guz.
zlers eighteen miles by hack line to
his "retreat. Recently W. r. Ham
ilton, of the Anti Saloon League, and
A. II. Faulkner, former revenue
agent, went to Conger's place and dis
covering that it was on land owned by
Col. Shook, who is strong prohibi-
zionist, went to him at Nashville, and
took up the matter with him. Col.
Shook was very much surprised to
learn the saloon was on his land, and
promptly took up ejectment proceed
ings, as his agreement with the Nc
Minnville man says that the land shall
be used for pasturage purposes only
and not irrigation. " Temperance
people earnestly hope this will do
away with the only saloon left in Ten
nessee.

WEST WARMING UP.

Senator w. w. West, of Laurel, has
just prepared for the press another
contribution to the already warm dis
cussion of the legislative investiga-
ton of the assessment inequalities
alleged to obtain in this state to the
disadvantage of South Mississippi |
Among other things Senator West
says: II do not in the least doubt the
ability of Senators Leo Mcmillan of
Carroll, r. A. Dean of Lafayette and
C. E. Franklin of Pontotoc, but was
on the floor of the senate when vote
was taken on senate resolution No.
AZ, offered by Senator Bilbo Of the
fourth district, and l know that all
three of the above named senators
voted to indefinitely postpone this res
olution This, without my saying so,
appears in the senate journal, which
can be looked into by any one desiring
to do so. 1t occurs to me that, not
withstanding the fact that all three
of the senators are wise and intelli-
gent statesmen, the lieutenant-govern
or should have at least placed some
senator on this committee who was
more familiar with the conditions in
this section of the state than is either
of the above. So far as Speaker
Streets appointments are concerned,
/ know of only two of the seven that
he appointed who live in this section
of the state, viz: Robertson of Forrest
and Shivers of Pearl river" Conclud-
ing. Senator West says: 81 want to
state right here, just as I have been
stating and advocating for the last sew
eral years, to all concerned, including
the Heutenant-governor, and Speaker
Street and Col. John d. McInnis, that
l expect to advocate, both as private
citizen and as the representative of
the largest and wealthiest senatorial
district in Mississippi, the necessity
for a change in the constitution,
whereby the people of this section of
tie country may be relieved of. their
Lerden of taxation since they bear
the biggest part of the expenses of
the state government, yet have to take
what is given them as ruled by ma.
jority from other sections"
Despite protestations to the co4tra-
~, there seems to be good cause for
Senator Vests displeasure snent the
PERSONNEL of the committee named by
Lieutenant Governor Manship.
But the committee from the lower
house, named by Speaker Street, is
above criticism.
No matter what recommendations |
are made to the legislature, however,
South Mississippi stould be prepared
TO fight for her rights.
