Congressman Mays had neglected his
duties in Washington aside from the
one referred to by Mr.. Dobson. Two
years ago, he said, the Democrats had
the greatest opportunity in twenty
years of doing something for the
country in taking from the speaker the
power to appoint the members Of the
rules committee and placing it in the
hands OF the house. Upon this occa-
casion the record showed that Con-
gresham Mays was impaired and not
voting.
He said 1t was high time the Third
district sent a man to congress who
could be ir his seat when he was
needed and who could accomplish
something when he was there. He
said he was convinced that Emmett
Wilson was the man to do il because
he Is able and enthusiastic and can
fight vigorously for his rights upon
the floor when occasion demands it.
DIR. Mallory Kennedy and Kirke
Monroe pledged their support to the
candidacy of Mr.. Wilson and enter

He has gone to his God, he has gone
to his home,
No more amid peril and error to roam;
His eyes are no longer dim;
His feet will no longer falter;
No grief can follow him;
No pang his cheek can alter.
There is paleness, and weeping, and
sights below,
For our faith is faint, and our tears
will flow;
But the harps Of heaven are ringing
Glad angels come to meet him;
And hymns of Joy are singing
While old friends press to meet him.
o honored, beloved, to earth uncon-
fined
Thou hast scared on high; thou hast
left us behind.
But our parting is not forever:
We will follow thee, by heavens light,
Where the grave cannot sever
The souls whom God will unite.
We part; the sea will roll between
While we through different climates
roam.
Sad days. a life may intervene;
But we shall meet again at home.

that Mr.. Mays was q splendid gentle
