Editor of The Dawson News: AS
senator from the Eleventh sena-
+orial district it is a we'll known fact
that I opposed the passage of the
hill amending the federal constitu-
+ion so as to allow the general gov
eminent to tax the incomes of the
citizens of Georgia.
An article in the Blade and Blud-
econ of recent date calls for some
renlv by virtue of the fact that the
writer of that article and the editor
of that paper is candidate for the
office of senator of this district for
The next term. Therefore, his po-
Ttical opinions and his position on
al political questions become very
important to all persons in the dis
trict.
Among other things he says:
i "Iisten, here, fool, Are you going
to let the Legislature meet again and
not talk to that little Republican
senator of yours about the income
fax? Come Clay, Randolph,
Ouitman, Early, Terrell. ETC., and all
Won South Georgia counties; come
On with a list as long as your arm
from each county in this section of
south Georgia and we will guarantee
IN YOU that we will make the legis-
nature adopt that amendment
Now, fellow-citizens of the Elev-
Il Iictp o+ l.
YOU of that editorial from the candi-
date who is seeking your endorse
ment for the high position of senator
of the Eleventh district?
Are you fools to differ from this
self-appointed law-giver? Upon
what food has he fed that all virtue
and all knowledge should be centered
in his opinions?
The revenue collector is now
abroad in the land. Would you have
1.-THE law changed so that the general
government would have its agent at
syour door every fall demanding a
slice of your cotton crop, demanding
toll of your mercantile business,
Nhoding it's hand out to collect a
#SllDCuQ II Oln CNCI CnlCI Dl iSC Judb
8 THE individual may be engaged in?
Would you delegate to the general
government right of taxation which
#this state now has, so that this addi-
.tiOnal tax may be taken from the
8treasury of Georgia and squandered
supon navies in times of peace, a big
standing army and internal improve
ments in other states?
The state of Georgia now has the
right to tax the incomes of it's own
citizens.
Why throw away that valuable
Fright? Why delegate it to the fed
eral government?
Does not the treasury of Georgia
need the income for the support of
pts own institutions?
s. Do not the educational institu-
lions of the state, the institutions for
fhe blind, the deaf and the insane,
beed this tax?
Are thei people not tax-poor- and
Pverrun with the burden of support
ing these institutions?
Why should this valuable asset,
why should this valuable source OF
9evenue, be turned over to the fed
Pral government, and all this revenue
lost to our own state?
Now, Mr.. Editor of the Blade and
Bludgeon, let us have an answer tC
these questions:
Do you favor a law which would
give the general government the
right to levy tax upon every farm.
PRS income, upon every merchant
business, upon every blacksmith, up.

WANT DAVIS FOR DESERTION
WIFE BRINGS CHARGES AGAINST
FORMER METHODIST PASTOR.
His Whereabouts Are Unknown

After Leaving Pulpit Was Farmers
Union Leader. Prosperity and
Politics Too Much For Him. His
Family Is Destitute.
Friends throughout the state Will
read with regret the following ac-
count from the Rome Tribune Of the
downfall of a good man:
Prosperity and position were evil
IDENTIFY more than he could stand,
and the Rev. G. M. Davis, former
pastor of the Everett Springs Metho-
dist church; at one time president of
the Floyd County Farmers Union
and state lecturer for the Georgia
organization, has fallen from the
good opinion of his friends, and is
now a fugitive from justice,
Charged With Desertion.
Davis is wanted here by the au-
thorities on a warrant sworn out by
Mrs, Davis, charging her husband
with desertion. The whereabouts of
Davis are unknown, but if he is APP
pretended he will be brought back
to Rome and lodged in Jail.
Several years ago Davis started
out in life as a minister of the Cos
pei. He and his wife lived happily
together, and 1906 found him pastor
of the Everett Springs Methodist
church.
Lured From Pulpit.
1t was then that he became inter
ested in Farmers Union work. The
love of church routine grew less tC
him, and his interest in the Farm
ers' Union finally lured him from the
pulpit.
Davis rapidly rose in the ranks OF
the Farmers Union and became its
president in Floyd county. He wa:
power for the organization, anC
later on became state lecturer,
Prosperity Too Much.
1t is claimed by those who know
Davis best that, unable to stand pc
sition and prosperity, he fell victim
to the drink habit, AS his knowl
edge of the world grew it seemed
that his interest in his family waned
and finally he left them without an.
means for their support.
Mrs. Davis and children, who liv,
on the South Side, are said to be il
a distressing condition, and are al
most dependent on charity for live
lihood. They have hundreds o
friends who are offering assistance
and arc iOdi0Oant over the daSprtiO
of Davis.

"UNCLE JOE" ONCE INsURGENT.
Used to Give the Majority Right
Lively Times Himself.

Lively IIilCS IIIIIISCll'
Speaker Cannon must have a sort
of fellow-feeling for the insurgents.
There was a time when he was him
self an insurgent, and a most mill
tant one. That was some sixteen
years ago, when he was chairman of
the committee on appropriations
Many a time, in that position, he
found himself at variance with the
majority, in which circumstances he
would head revolt Sometimes he
lost, but a number of times he won.
In those days Tawney was one of
his lieutenants and chief helpers. 1t
was largely Cannon's aggressiveness
and versatility as an insurgent that
finally landed him in the Speakers
chair.

MERRY TO CELL
FOR EIGHT MONTHS
OTHER COUNTIES ANXIOUS TO
PROSECUTE RAIL PROMOTER
WHEN TERM Is
ENDED.

Hettinger, NJ D., Sept. 23.--Charles
#. Merry, now in the custody of the
Adams county officials to serve a SEN
tence of eight months imposed in dis
trict and affirmed by the supreme
court, will have long time to wait for
freedom If the plans Of the authorities
in several other counties in this state
and in South Dakota, are carried out.
The present plan is to rearrest Merry
the moment he finishes his sentence in
this county, and the other charges
against him will then be pushed.
He was accused of attempting to
steal an entire trainload of sheep. The
trainload in question was being shipped
from Montana to South st. Paul, and
was unloaded in Dickinson for the pur
pose Of grazing. Merry is alleged to
have reloaded the sheep shipping them
out under bill of !ading showing the
property as his own, and it was not
until the train had passed st. Paul
that it was stopped and the rightful
owners gained possession. He had
billed the sheep to Chicago.
AS a railroad promoter, Merry had
been prominent for years. He is now
making an attempt to evade the serv-
ing of the county Jail sentence here,
and up to the present has been un-
successful,

WAS HIT BY N. P. TRAIN
To Pulp Under Wheels of
Switch Engine.

Casselton Reporter: John Smith,
who had been porter at the Occidental
hotel for about six weeks, was the
victim Of an accident that will main
him FOR life and came near causing
his death. After meeting the trains,
he started for the creamery on his
daily errand in the interests of the
hotel, taking the side track north of
the freight depot. Just how the ac-
cident occurred it is impossible to
learn, but it is known that he was
struck by switching locomotive. and
his left arm was passed over by the
wheels and ground to pulp. He also
suffered a bad confusion of the front
scalp which It is thought occurred
from coming in contact with some
hard substance as his head struck the
ground. He was seen by the crew and
soon was conveyed to the Jail building
where physicians attended him and re-
moved a good sized piece of bone from
his head. He was taken to Fargo in
the afternoon and then his arm was
removed. He is said to have had a
hard time but is now liable to recover.
Mr.. Smith is only % years of age
and was a good man in his position.
His mother and sister, from Iowa, are
with him at the hospital It is said
that a singular coincidence exists in
his family, an older brother having
also lost his left arm in a railroad ac-
cident.

Duncan j. McGiEis was an arrival last

A few Gays ago a customer went

Chicken Thief Caught.

Republican: Since there have been
so many chicken thefts in Langdon
during the past summer without the
thieves being apprehended, it is graft
flying to know that at least one in
truder got caught with the goods last
Tuesday morning and was brought to
task, even though a good hearted lady
did not bring him to justice. On ac-
count of the prominence of the parties
at interest, the person who conveyed
the information to The Republican re-
quested that the names be withheld
from publication, but it seems that a
certain young lady was aroused about
o'clock Tuesday morning by several
cries of distress from the inhabitants
Of the chicken coop at the rear of the
house, and looking out of her window
saw the thief making his escape to-
ward the business district. She order
ed him to halt and drop the chickens
he had under his arm, but the order
was unheeded, and she called to her
brother in the adjoining room. The
boy in scanty attire did a marathon
down main street and caught his man
in front of the old postoffice building.
Although he was more than 100 pounds
lighter than the fellow who had been
setting the pace in the race. he soon
had the dead birds in his possession.
No arrest was made as the family had
been planning on a chicken dinner the
same day and they were saved the
trouble of doing the killing. They
have lock on the henhouse door now,
but one white man with coIored in
stincts has promised to be good any,
how.
