l am not responsible for this early
campaign. l did not intend to an

do so. The responsibility of this early
campaign rests upon you. / am not

This town is divided into wards, and
every citizen in the town is entitled to
have voice in selecting a ticket. The
men who work in our factories and
shops who toll for their daily bread

during my canvass, but from my boy
hood. l am not in favor OF strife be-
tween labor and capital. / am in ia
vor of giving every interest just and

The election does not come off vet
for months. After the registration is

COLORED PEOPLE
CONDEMN CRIME
Resolutions Adopted by
Meeting Deploring Acts
of LawlessnesS.

The following resolutions were adopt
ed at a meeting OF colored people held
Tuesday night at the Office of DR..
Thompson:
MARIETTA, GA, August 81, 1909.
st is not because of any coercive in
fluence, but because of environments
and conditions patent which prohibit
such constructive contact with the rul-
ing element of our town aud county as
would, at all times, make clear our
position on all vital subjects of law and
order, we think it we'll at this time to
publish to the world the following:
Whereas, During the last few
months an epidemic of crime seems to
have broken out among the lower ele-
ment of our race and
whereas, Notwithstanding the in
fiuence Of our churches, schools, news
papers and best people for right living,
these crimes, sad to say, might be re-
peated and
Whereas, These lawless acts have
already disturbed the once pacific rela-
tions of the races here, and that such
crimes continued might aggravate the
present feeling to a degree of which we
hate to contemplate; therefore, be it
"Resolved, That the exigency of the
times demands that we condemn crime !;
that we do not countenance or uphold
it among our people here nor elsewhere,
and thus make clear our position.
Resolved further, That we condemn
the recent acts of lawlessness charged
to members Of our race in this COM
munity; that we, as representatives Of
the better element OF our people, in
meeting assembled, do hereby put our
selves on record as forever opposed to
all lawlessness, and especially the un-
speakable crime against womanhood.
Resolved further, That we condemn
and deplore the recent cowardly, I'M
provoked and murderous attack by a
negro upon an officer in the discharge
of his duty; that we desire this and all
other law-breakers brought to Justice
and punished according to law.
Resolved further, That we urge our
people more and more to draw a line
between the good and the bad to come
out from among evil-doers and have no
fellowship with the guilty.
Resolved further, That we deeply
appreciate the efforts and success of
the authorities in preventing mob vio-
lence against negroes, and that we
stand ready to cooperate with them to
promote law and order among our peo-
pie in this community.

variety, New York;

"The decision having been arrived at
to put out the Forepaugh-Sells Circus
next season, showmen are wondering
what the Ringlings are going to do
with it. Regardless of their evident
determination to hamper the Sells-FlCto
management as much as possible no
one is willing to believe that the Bara-
boo Brothers would invest the amount
necessary TO ehabilitate the Forepaugh-
Sells solely for the purpose of throwing
it into an opposition campaign directed
against the Denver show.
"With the Barnum & Bailey and
Ringing Brothers show so thoroughly
organized, it is simply necessary each
year to switch the routes and send one
over the route the other followed the
previous season. But in spite of the
vast amount of territory the two shows
are able to cover in this manner there
are hundreds of towns throughout the
county which it is impossible for either
to play. In Indiana, Ohio, Illinois and
the other densely populated states in
the middle west as we'll as in the east
there is room for the third Ringling
circus to find abundant territory.
ga man who has spent much Of his
life in the circus business and knows
it, also the Ringing Brothers pretty
we'll, said this week: 81 take no stock
in the rumors that the Ringings are
going to send one of their shows abroad
next season. The expense of touring
England and the continent is enor-
nous. Although they have three shows
to route and manage in America they
are sure of big profits at home without
taking any chances aboard.
"Next year Barnum & Bailey will go
TO the coast, after opening, as per con
tract,in Madison Square Garden. The
Ringing show will open~at the Coli
scum, Chicago, and will remain in the
east and middle west. The Forepaugh-
Sells show will probably haveP Philadel-
phia as its biggest town, for the name
is strong in the Quaker City and the
show held the attendance record until
Buffalo Bill bowled it over the first
season after he came back from Europe
the last time. Otherwise the new show
will stick to the tall grass and general
opDosition to the SellS-FIoto and Hag-
enbeck-W Wallace shows. Just paste
these predictions in the lid of your
trunk and see if they don't all work

SUDDEN DEATH FROM APOpLExY
Mrs. E. NJ. Myers Dies Two
Days After Being Stricken-COn-
scious Part of the Time
(From Thursdays Dany.)

On Monday Mrs. E. M. Myers fell
forward against the side board at the
home of her daughter, Mrs. Charles
Brewster. 1t was thought at the time
that it was only fainting spell and
that she would soon recover. Soon
after physician was summoned who
told the family that the trouble was
apoplexy. During Monday she was
not able to speak but it is believed
that she was conscious a portion of
the time. She tried to write some
message but the hand. had lost its
usefulness and the last thoughts will
never be known.
On Tuesday she was unconscious
and was not able to recognize even the
members of she family after that.
Death came at $50 o'clock this morn
ing.
Her daughter, Miss Mamie Myers,
is connected with an educational insti-
tuition in Chicago and was summoned
home. When she arrived her mother
had already passed into the shadows
and was not able to recognize her.
Afterwards her two sisters, Miss Julia
Rabb and Miss Joan Rabb, came from
Mazomanie, but they, too, arrived too
late to receive last message.
Mary Rabb was born in Ohio II
years ago. About 1S45 she came with
her people to Baraboo and for some
years the family resided just south of
the city. The family of William
Brewster also located in the same
neighborhood so that the two families
have been friends for more than half a
century.
Mrs. Myers was a member of the
Congregational church. Her husband
and the two daughters mentioned,
survive. Besides the two sisters one
brother, S. O. Rabb, resides at Mazoma-
ME. Her mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Rabb,
died about year ago after she had al
most reached the century mark.
The father of Mrs. Myers died with
paralysis.
