Signing Nomination Papers.

A man has no business to sign a nomi-
nation paper for a candidate who he does
not think Is fit for the Office which he
is trying to get Signing such papers as
an accommodation to the men who are
passing them around Is not justinsble.
He should know enough about the can
didate, either personally or by reputation.
to warrant the Endorsement OF his fit
ness for the benefit Of men who do not
know him. Candidates are usually very
willing. even anxious, to have the list
OF names on their nomination papers
published. because they realize that votes
can be won by the weight Of names OF
solid citizens inscribed thereon The
names are taken as an Endorsement OF
the candidates Qualifications, and the
voter who may not know the candidate.
but does know the men who have in
dorsed him is influenced accordingly.
This consequence OF signing nomina-
tons ought to prevent men who do not
know or never have heard of candidates
from lending their names to complete
the required number of Endorsements.
Knowingly to sign the paper Of a man
unfit for the Office to which he aspires.
whatever may be the motive of signing.
is to utter a fraud. like giving a bad
check in a business transaction. The Of
tense is almost as bad voting for him
after he has bamboozled all the other
men necessary to have his nomination

Washington and the Single Takers.

The single takers have recognized in
Washington an ideal place to try out
their pet idea, and while it is not likely
that Congress can be prevailed upon
to give the Henry George theory a
real test, many OF the common-sense
principles involved in the system can
be applied here without any substantial
changes in the law.
1t would not be surprising if Wash
ington were given a little taste of the
single tax before the present District
Commissioners and the House District
Committee. Four members of the lat
ter are single takers, and so is Oliver
P. Newman, the chairman of the
Board. 1t seems that sentiment
throughout the District is strong in
favor OF the introduction of some sys-

Cherokee Indians COmIna.

The Grenada boys have secured the
famous Cherokee Indian Base Ball
Club for two games on Wednesday,
Aug. 20. This team will be remembered
as having played here five years ago.
The team is composed of genuine red
skins from the Carlisle Indian School,
and as travelling team have an envi-
able reputation, having won over 80
per cent of their games. In fact, they
have lost only 5 games in the past seven
weeks. In connection with the day
game, the Indians play ball at night.
They carry their own light plant of so
arc lights of thousand candle power
on the field The game at night differs
in no way from the day game, as the
men play the same positions as in the
day game and the same rules govern
both games. The ball is a small one,
one, about the regulation size. In fact,
they play regulation base ball at night.
The plant used is the Comisky plant OF
Chicago White Sox. Don't forget the
date, Wednesday, Aug. 20.

TURNER BAILEY
SERIOUSLY INJURED
Electric Light Pole Falls While He Is
Working on II.

A very deplorable accident occurred
in Grenada Wednesday which may re-
suit in the death of Mr.. Turner Bailey.
Mr.. Bailey was in the employ of the
city power plant. He climbed one of
the electric light poles and fixed him
self on the top by means of hooks at
tached to his legs. When he thought
he was securely fixed he began work
on the wires, when the pole gave way
at the bottom and fell to the ground.
The unfortunate man was unable to dis
engage himself from the falling pole,
and as a result it fell on his thigh,
breaking it so badly that the bones
stuck out thru the flesh. His arm was
also dislocated and other serious injuries
sustained. For some time after he
was gotten to his house he was in con-
vulsions. Medical aid was had at once
and everything is being done that is
possible to save his lfe. He has been a
valuable man to the city. He is indus
dustrious and faithful at anything he
undertakes and it is to be hoped that
he will recover. He is about 35 years
old and was reared in Grenada.
