A Democratic state ticket has been
nominated without factional fight.
1t is a ticket made up of country
people, for the most part, and the
candidates are personally known to
the country people as men of high
character and proven ability. "A
stay-at-home vote in the country,
lulled to apathy by feeling of over
confidence, can defeat the Democra-
tic ticket this year. But nothing else
can.
An extra fast freight, north bound,
collided with an extra stock train at
the junction south Of this city about
midnight Friday night. The engine
of the former was practically demol-
ished and several cattle on the stock
train were killed. None of the crews
were injured. The stock train was
just coming onto the main line from
the interstate branch when the fast
freight struck. Traffic was held up
only few hours.
The Huntsville Times does not
agree with the single-taxers. 1t says:
cts advocates are always harping on
the point that our present system of
taxation is ubiquitous and discrimin-
ating," and at the same time they
advocate system of taxation which
legalizes the very thing they claim to
oppose, that of taxing one class of
property owners and freeing another
class of the burden. 1t is very
strange. The most ignorant and ar
rogant should see the point"
Hon. H. o. Maxey, circuit clerk of
Bates county, was in town Friday
afternoon and favored the Review
with a short call. Mr.. Maxey has
been quite busy of late and is likely
to continue so throughout the next
term of court, for which he is now
preparing. Mr.. Maxey is not only an
excellent clerk and keeps everything
in fine shape, but he's clean, good
man, whom we are always glad to
meet.-Rich Hill Review.
The Morey Stock Company, which
showed at the Fisk Opera House
Fair week, packed the house each
night of its stay in the city, drawing
probably the largest crowd each night
ever attending the weeks stand of a
company in this city. Manager Fisk
is an experienced theatrical man and
he is booking only the highest class
productions and Butler people, being |
excellent judges of good shows, have
signified their intentions of backing
him up to the fullest extent.
Major, Roach and Gordon, by their
fearless and patriotic conduct upon
the State Board of Equalization,
blocked the Hadley scheme to treble
The state taxes, and thus saved hum
dreds of thousands of dollars to the
Of the state. They consti-
tute a majority of the State Board,
and their election next November
will therefore be positive guaranty
hat the taxes will not be increased
Turing the next four years. Mr..
Voter-what does this mean to you? ,
Every taxpayer can figure it out to
he penny. h
