when he Declared the Missouri
Census Was Fraud He For-
GOT That Democrats Help.
ed Take it.
HAS MADE THEM MAD
Hornets Nest Was Stirred up by His
Statement That tho Count
Was an Internal
Fraud.

FULTON, Mo-, Nov. 2.-The state
ment OF Congressman Champ Clark
that the census enumeration in the
Ninth congressional district was an
internal fraud" has stirred up hor-
nets nest. The fact that about as
many democrats we're engaged in this
work as men and women of other
political parties has caused them to
ienounce his accusations.
John H. Trippe of Westminster col
lege. republican. when seen, said:
q regard it as nothing more than one
Of Champ Clark's blustery speeches.
More care was taken this time in oh.
tanning competent people to take the
census than ever before. The depart
ment made the examination as COM
plete as possible, and only competent
people were able to pass it success
fully. | was assisted in the work in
Fulton by George Icenhower and
Louis Cav, both democrats, and they
are men of the highest standing in
this community and men of unusual
ability
Il think Clark's statement impugns
the reputation of all the enumerators
In the Ninth district, and | feel sure
the democrats will join those of 9th
er political faiths in fittingly rebuk-
Ing the nncalled for attack on their
honesty.
Mr. Trippe is man OF high stand
Ing in Fulton and any insinuation he
was involved in crooked deal TO
juggle the figures OF the census re-
turns is held to be absurd. The same
can be truthfully said of other men.
There is no question but that all OF
the Fulton and Galloway county cen
sus enumerators worked energeticaliy
to get everybody and everything out
lined under the rules of the census,
All the falling off that was noted in
this county was ascribed to various
causes enumerated in county papers
at the time.
Louis Cav, democrat OF Fulton
who took the census Of the school
for the deaf, wnen seen said there was
absolutely nothing to the reports that
fraud had been perpetrated.
Mr.. Cav says: II am positive tha'
everything in Galloway county was or
the square | was at the meeting al
which Mr.. Barnes instructed his emu
merators in the work, and they were
all given to understand that every
thing was to be carefully looked after
irrespective of politics, and with
view Of getting fair and full count
The class of men who had charge
Of the work in Galloway county pre-
cludes the very thought that there
was any crooked work. They wer'
all of the highest standing in the com
nunity and | am sure that Mr. Clarl
Is badly mistaken in his conclusions,
All accusations of politics playini
part in the census are explode'
when it is taken into consideration
that the census enumerators in Cal
away county were classified as 10
lows by c. A. Barnes of Mexico, super
VISOR for the Ninth district: Thre
Women, seven democrats, eleven re
publicans and three independent den
ocrats.
The democrats engaged in the cer
sus work in Galloway county are II
censed at Clark's accusations and
is one of the many things that he ha
given utterance to in this campaig
that will hurt him in his effort for r.
election.

GUTHRIE, Okla, Nov. 2.-Holding
that the United States circuit court
has no jurisdiction to grant relief
from the operations of the so-called
grandfather clause amendment to the
Oklahoma constitution, the court dis
missed the application of Daniel Sims,
an aged negro and former slave, who
asked writ of injunction that would
permit him and other negro voters to
vote in the general election November

Sims named p. r. French, Guthrie
election official, as defendant, against
whom the injunction would act, and
his attorney asked also that the grand
father clause amendment be declared
in conflict with the constitution of the
United States and the state of Okla

The court made the following order
dismissing the case:
1T is ordered that the application
for the interlocutary injunction be end
the same is hereby denied. not on the
ground that the amendment is not
violative of the constitution of the
United States, but on the sole ground
that although the complainant may
have remedy at law In this court
for the deprivation of his right to
vote. this court has no jurisdiction in
equity to grant him the relief he
SEEKS from the threatened deprivation
OF that high right under the decision
OF the supreme court in Giles VS.. Har

A LETTER FROM THE CHIEF.

Dear Members have been silent for some
time now, because I believe in giving the other
boy and girl a chance One reason I have been
silent is because | wanted to learn what the boys
and girls thought Of the Brotherhood. Then I
saw letter in The jeff from Carrie Annie Walker
asking what had become of me. 1 am not dead
l nave been appointed conductor of the Junior
branch of this Club, and l feel it my duty to
write once in while. l feel God is blessing each
and every one who helps this work Again I ask
some of the children who writing so many
riddles to the Postcard Club to tell me of the
little sick boys and girls of their communities
and let us try to help them They must send good
references along, too. We want to get this work
all over the United States, and, in order to do
that, you must help us to organize a Junior
Branch Club in your neighborhood. We have
some buttons now, and furnish same at ten
cents apiece. Our club not organized to kill
Foreign Missions, as some say, but to help our
sick and crippled Look away up to New York
city, and see the women and children crying and
praying for food and work to support their poor
bodies. See mothers selling their babes and
starving for the want of food Look at Chicago;
it is the same. But over to China and Africa we
send money to take care Of them.-Your true
brother, AIRING TOOTLE, Glennville, Ga.

A BUNCH AND A BOOST FROM GEORGIA.

Hello, Daddy Jim!-Here we come all in a
bunch, seeking admittance to the Sunny South
brotherhood. Each of us wants button. Below
you will see our names and contributions. We
are willing to risk your judgment in sending to
those who are most needy. s. CHAPMAN AND
OTHERS, Crawfordville Ga.
1.-THE contributions are all acknowledged in our
statement for this week. Everyone at this end of
the line is glad to the formation of this Craw
fordville club Such clubs should be gathered to-
gether everywhere They do untold good in
every community, and among folks of all ages
sorts and conditions. Remember always that the
person who gets the greatest benefit from sympa-
thetic loving charity is not the who is helped
but the helper. If you are sick, depressed, blue;
If the world doesn't wag just right; if the sun
shine is not bright it used to be; if youth
seems failure, and later life broken promise;
try this medicine: Take a little time, a little
sympathy, little self-denial, little thought for
Others mix them up well, and apply the plaster
to else's wounds. A few lines on a post
card, few words of cheer in passing by, paper
a book, food or clothes, where needed-they may
cost little-they may be more troublesome than
taking a liver pill; but watch the result! You
will be surprised how quickly the rain will pass
the sun shine out again, the birds take up their
songs of joy; the spring of youth return, the
promise be fulfilled. If you want to be healthy
in mind and body, forget yourself, think of 9TH
ers. Like bread pills and cold water, it may be
too simple remedy to appeal to some; but, take
my word for it. it will cure the blues and worries

room so long Uncle Charlie has been good to
me, and the Comfort band sends me dime once

and happy as queen bat may never be able to
go out again, or do any more work. Ny life is
not all sunshine since have been on the bed and
no mother to care for me; but God has promised
to be Father to the orphans. With love and
God bless you" to all the Brotherhood l remain

REVIVAL SERVICE S
CLOSE SUNDAY

The revival services which have
been going on at Central Metho-
dist Church for the past two
weeks, will probably close Sun
day night. These meetings have
been marked by splendid attend
ance, unusual interest strong
preaching by Rev, Mr.. Fisher,
and some of the local ministers.
and quiet but deep work of the
All-Powcrful Spirit.
There have been many evil
dences that the people were in
earnest who have worked i nthese
services. as also that those who
accepted the propositions from
time to time were serious. Many
definitely felt that they were
converted or reclaimed; many
more have advanced into higher
life, and several claimed the de
finite promise Of specification.
Among human agencies, moth
ing was more helpful and enjoya-
bic during the services than the
marvellous piano work of Mrs.
Turner, and the sweet and soul
ful singing Of Mrs. Cunyus.
These Christian women have en-
dcared themselves through their
labors and personality to our peo-
pie. whose prayers and best wish
cs will follow them wherever they
go.
Already more than dozen
have united with the church and
more will likely do so at the Sun
day services.
