made plain, or tried to make plain,

was that he would wear the muzzle

you remember. his speeches in the

few men, even our best friends,
whom we are under obligations to
ever so much, who can pull your
senator to the right or left at will.
Your senator is doing what he be-
lieves to be right, and would not
cnange his course until he is per-
'suaded he is wrong, and all he can
do is to let you use the recall-and
it is up to you. If you want a man
with strings on him who can be
handled by politicians at Dawson
and Fort Gaines and about you had
best look you up another man. This
one is not the man for you.
Let the petition go forward, gen.
tlemen; you must say no man could
be more fair than l am in this. Get
one-foUrth of the voters on that
sheet and then | am in the hands of
you folks, and your committee is re-
quested to make the call for a sena-
torial nomination.
Emmett Shaw wants to know if
the people are ready to turn down
a man with nerve and backbone, who
has fought his hardest for principles
of democracy of the fathers of the
country.
Emmett Shaw will never defy the
people when they can express their
wishes at the ballot box, but he Ger
tainly does defy any six or dozen
men of supposed influence who pro-
pose to pull on man and make him,
on account of fear of their influence,
fOrsake his conscience and his ideas

gentlemen. But don't be surprised
when you find that the folks in the

refuse you a welcome at their gates

your senator can do for you, and the
remedy is yours to apply.

H. T. Crumpton came to our church

year. From the first she was one

was impossible to regard her as
stranger, and we never did, for we

and beauty of christian fellowship
there is nothing of the earth earthly
like unto it. Mrs. Crumpton, nee
Lucille Pettus, was born and reared
near Huntsville, Ala, and was edu-
Gated in the splendid schools of that
city. She was woman of culture
and delicate refinement. At the ear
ly age of II years she gave her heart
to Christ and was baptized into the
fellowship of Mt. Zion Baptist
church, Madison county, Alabama.
From that watery grave, fit emblem
of the resurrection, she arose and
ever after lived on the resurrection

SENATOR SHAW STANDING BY HIS GUN
Issues a Defy, in Which He Offers to Resign and Run
for Reelection Against Any One of Those
Who Have Bulragged Him

Senator E. R. Shaw of this dis
trict, who is widely known as a game
fighter and as always true to his
principles, is standing by his guns,
and has issued a defy to those who
have criticised his recent acts in
which he offers to resign and run for
reelection against any one of them.
Senator Shaw puts it up to them
to either put up or shut up" His
proposition appears in the current
issue of his Blade and Bludgeon, and
is as follows:
There has been something hap
Dening III Georgia for the past two
weeks. We have elected us United
States senator, and done much in
general. This scribe, the senator
from the Eleventh district of Geor-
gia, has been outraged at by a
few of his friends because he would
not act when the strings were pulled,
and is now openly threatened by
about a half dozen of his influential
supporters for 1this job which he
holds, and has been threatened with
defeat and the like if he ever gets
out before the voters again.
Now, therefore, be it known to all
men that Emmett R. Shaw is hearth
ly in favor of the recall, believing
that people who misrepresent their
constituents should loosen from their
job, and here and now states that he
is brave enough to walk out before
the folks of Randolph Terrell and
Clay counties next summer, or this
winter, when that race for governor
is on, and resubmit his candidacy,
agreeing and giving sufficient bond
that he will resign before the next
session of the legislature if he is not
endorsed in said primary by the ma
jority of the voters of the Eleventh
district
Now, the condition is to be this:
There are 5000 voters in our dis
trict. Get % per cent of them to
sign a petition asking for the result
mission, and then run a Hoke Smith
man who has stood for six long years
for him up till now, and the fight
is on.
eff the people don't have the right
to say who is who and what is what
it will never be Emmett Shaw's
fault. / don't want and would not
have this job forty minutes after /
found out l did not meet the views
OF a majority of my people. l be-
lieve in the recall, and am willing
to be recalled. Let the petition go
forward, gentlemen, if you like, and
see if % per cent of the voters are
wanting Emmett Shaw to come down
and give an account of himself. This
is every Gods thing l can do for
you.
Il can't stultify my conscience and
do what / know to be wrong and
against the people because a few
men were not brave enough to write
me when l invited them to do so
are trying to raise a little rough
house.
Your senator only got four let

one from Morris Station. We appre-
GATED then and do now those letters.

WILL GO TO SENATE IF NEEDED
Otherwise Mr.. Smith Will Continue
to Hold the GOvernorshin.

10 hOId the GOvernOrship.
ATLANTA.-There has been pub.
lished a statement which, while ii
did not come in the shape of a for
NAL or official utterance or even an
interview, may be taken for the last
word of Mr.. Smith as to what he
proposes to do regarding the United
States senatorship.
This statement, it is said, is au-
thentic, coming direct from the SEN
.ator himself, though without quota
ton marks or without quotation
even being indicated. 1t is to the
effect that if anything occurs in
Washington to demand his presence
there as United States senator he
will resign at once and go. At the
same time it is stated Senator Smith
does now contemplate that his pres
ence will be needed there, and unless
something develops to demand that
he go there he will remain governor
until December, as he intended.
In other words, it is stated the
senator is keeping in close touch
with the situation in Washington.
and If there should develop a dan
gerously close vote on any PROPOSE
ton of Importance to the democrats
he will leave the governors chair at
once and go to Washington.

DO HURRY HERE, Mr.. SMITH
Is Cry That Comes From Washing
ton to Lingering Senator. His Vote
on Important Measures Needed.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Senator
Martin, the minority leader of the
senate in an interview this after
noon, expresses the hope that Sena-
tor-elect Hoke Smith will come to
Washington without delay and take
his seat. The minority leader indi-
Gates that the pending revision of
the tariff law is of more Importance
to the country than Mr.. Smiths tenn
porary tenure of Office as governor
of Georgia.
Il believe Governor Smith should
come to Washington and qualify as
a senator as soon as the senate has
voted on reciprocity. He will be
needed August 1st, when the free
list bill, the first of the house meas
ures, will be taken up.
The vote on all the tariff bills
will be very close and the absence of
one senator may be embarrassing to
us as party. The democrats of the
senate, so far as | can ascertain. feel
this way about the matter, and hope
for the early report of Senator
Smith
Other democratic leaders are also
worried over the situation and hope
that in view of developments in the
Georgia controversy the governor
will come on to Washington.
While senator's do not want to be
quoted on Senator Terrells refusal
to return here it is pointed out that
had he returned his vote might have
been challenged by the republicans
on the ground that his term had au-
tomatically expired when Governor
Smith was elected.

IN LOVING REMEMBRANCE

forth in Mrs. Crumpton's character
She was a dutiful, loving daughter,
the comfort and pride of her widowed
mother, who grieves as only a moth
er can grieve for her youngest born:
a devoted sister and true in her
friendships.
A tender and impressive funeral
service at the Baptist church was
conducted by Rev. r. L. Bivins of
Americas, assisted by Rev. NJ. B. L.
Binion and Rev. E. F. Morgan, pastor
of the Methodist church. A large
concourse of sympathizing people
were present at the service. The
many beautiful floral offerings from
the various departments of our
church and from other friends in
Dawson bore silent yet eloquent tes-
timony to the high esteem in which
Mrs. CrumptOn was held; in fact, no
act was left unperformed, no word
unsaid to express the appreciation
of our church and people for this
earnest christian woman. July 9Th
the body was inferred in Elmwood
cemetery, Birmingham, Ala.
Resolved l. That we. extend to
Rev. H. T. Crumpton, our beloved
pastor, and other bereaved ones our
sincere sympathy.
Resolved 2. That upon a page of
our class records there be inscribed
the following:

Mrs. H. T. Crumpton, nee Lucille
Pettus. Dec. 3, 1883-July 4, 1911.

Resolved 3. That a copy of these
resolutions be sent to Mr.. Crump-
ton, a copy be sent to Mrs. Allie A.

ter, and a copy be furnished The
