MIR. JONES' STATEMENT OF
HIS DIFFICULTY WITH M'MILLAN
(Chas. r. Jones in DiXie)

While | regret to use this space in
Dixie which belongs to the people in
order to discuss matters entirely per-
sonal to me, the account of the recent
attack as published by the Metropolis
makes it necessary.
In a lengthy account of this attack,
this paper declined to say that D. II.
Mcmillan assaulted me with metal
knucks and also published a state
ment' from me that l did not make.
J. II. Whitney, the Metropolis re-
porter who called at my home follow
ing the attack, said that Mcmillan ac-
knowledged to him using the metal
knucks. He said he proposed to write
| up a fair account of the trouble, but
| that he didn't know whether it would
get in the paper or not. l have learn
/ ed from various sources that Mcmillan
has never denied using the weapons.
| but to his friends and to mine he has
said that he used them because he
had been Informed that l was armed,
! but I was not.
Connected with this report is an ac-
count of what purports to be diff
Guilty" between City Engineer L. d.
Smoot and me. The Metropolis stated
that Mr.. Smoot compelled" me to go
|
gize for certain things l had said about
the city engineering department.
have never had one unpIea SAINT word
with City Engineer Smoot. He has
never directly or Indirectly threatened
me nor has he ever demanded" any
thing of me of any nature whatsoever
that l ever heard of.
Mr.. Smoot, in a most gentIemanly
manner, asked if would inSDect the
records of his office and l told him
would gladly do so. 1 call the fol
lowing day and he was absent and
over the telephone I made an engage
ment with him. He called for me and
/ spent a very pleasant hour with hin
and his Subordinates. was treated
with the utmost conSidera tiOn and not
then or at any time was there ever
a suggestion of friction, nor was any
thing said about anything that [ wa,
to write or retract. | said to Mr.
Smoot after he had showed me tina
the former city engineer had left NJ
records for him, that I intended to cal
attentiOn to this in Dixie and Mr.
Smoot said that he did not care TO at
tack the work of his predecessor.
After the inspection Mr. Smoot an,
myself went to the Dixie office wher,
we discussed Mr.. Shoots system o
records with Claude LEngle. w
were all exceedingly pleasant and Nh
LEngle said: when man ap
prOaches us as you have. Mr.. Smoot
he can always get consideration from
Dixie. Dixie wants nothing but tn
, truth, and I am glad YOU took tn
trouble to show Mr.. Jones through
Iyour office"

star reporter had the pleasure
Yesterday of visit to the sunny Jim
Poultry and Truck Farm, three miles
southwest of the city.
Mr. Morris E. Robinson (Sunny Jim)
not many months ago, invested some
~ the dollars he made in selling Hub
shoes in a tract OF high pine and black
tack land about a mile south of the
NarteI road, and what he is doing
with fl is an object lesson of what can
be done with work and water in al
most any part of Marion county.
Mr. Robinson has the assistance of
Mr. E. Brunoo, an intelligent and in
dustrious Swede, who has made Flor
ida his home, and the better TO DO 50
has chosen a pretty and home-loVing
Florida girl for a wife. 1t would in
terest and refresh any one to see their
methods and their success.
Mr.. Robinson owns seventy acres of
land in ALL Most of it at present is N
woods and pasture, but fine beginn-
ing in improved farming has been
made around the neat little cottage
where Mr. and Mrs. Brunoo make their
home.
The principal interest centers in the
poultry. There are hundreds of chick
ems. ducks and geese, and they are the
most unanimously healthy conGrega-
| ton of poultry the reporter ever saw.
Not a sick or droopy one in the bunch.
| They have a most sensibly arranged
and carefully kept equipment of yards,
| roosts and nests and their feeding is
carried on with scientific care.
| An important part of the equipment
is the building that contains the incu-
| bators and breeders. 1t is up to date
in all particulars, and when the re-
porter looked into one compartment
that is being used as a nursery, he be-
held 90 lively little chicks that had
just been Matched out of 112 eggs the
day before. They were cleaner and "a
healthy and happy as the average
chicks Matched out in the normal way

POLLUTING THE PRIMARIES

A number of newspapers are dis
cussing an amendment to the primary
law, providing a penalty for men of
one party who vote in the primaries
of another.
1t would be very difficult to enforce
such a law, and it should not be nee
essary.
The primary is an agreement among
gentlemen. A man who presents him
self to vote in it thereby gives his
promise to vote for the nominees.
republican who votes in a demo-
cratic primary, intending at the same
time to vote the republican ticket in
the general election, is guilty of a
very dishonorable action. No political
exigency justiies him in so doing. He
is doing nothing less than lying.
Any democrat, who in order to de-
feat another democrat, induces re-
publican to vote in a democratic pri-
mary, is no better than thief. He is
worse than a common thief for steal
ing property from it's owner is not
such an outrage on the people as
stealing a public office.
The republicans of this state have
no primaries. If they had, the fore
going remarks would apply with
equal force to any democrat who
sought to take part in their primary
elections.
IL such a law as suggested was pass
ed we fear 1t would be only an addi-
ton to the already Intellectual laws
that cumber our statute books. Dem
ocrats, of course, cannot refuse the
votes of republicans who announce
their intention of supporting the dem
ocratic ticket. They are, in fact. glad
to welcome such republicans wher
they are acting in good faith. II q
republican goes into democratic pri.
mary, and afterward votes the repub-
lcan ticket in the general election
there is no way of convincing him. NJ
one but himself can know for sur,
how he voted, no matter what the!
may suspect. for if he lies about hi
vote in the primary he will lie abou
Ii in the general election.
Democrats can keep their primarie.
comparatively free from interlopers /
they will be vigilant. They can sta
ton watchers at the polls and chal
lenge all voters whom they suspect.
any republican tries to vote. and de
/ clares himself a democrat, or at leas
that he intends supporting the demo
cratic ticket at the next election, it 1:
all right If he means what he says.
not, he brings himself into disreput,
with the honest men of his own part!
as well as with the democrats. II
this, as in many other matters, pub
licity is the best remedy. There is {
great deal of talk about all being fail
in politics and war, but when you
come down to brass tacks. honest mel
dislike liars and cheats at the polls
as much as they do in business an'
social affairs.
There are many republicans in thi
state who vote in the democratic pri
maries and make good in the election:
J as far as state and county offices art
concerned. They generally vote the
republican national ticket and make
no secret that they do so, and as they
are good citizens and there is NJ

1t seems to the Star that the mem
bers of the National Democratic Con-
ventiOn who are trying to shove
Judge Parker to the front as temper
airy chairman are showing bad judg-
ment, if not petty spite. Judge Par
ker, it is true, was once a democratic
candidate for the presidency. He was
also the worst beaten candidate since
the time of Horace Greeley. He has
been a machine politician and a cor
poration lawyer all his life. The peo-
pie who are clamoring for Mr.. Bryan
to behave are not taking proper steps
to induce him to do so when they ba ck
up every man and every measure they
know to be obnoxious to him.
