All brothers and sisters in Jesus the Christ
who have lost their positions because they
would not disobey God, trample the blood
of Jesus the Christ underneath their feet, by
submitting to the dirty, foul, rite of vacci-
nation, are requested to call and see me in
my office, any afternoon from two to five
thirty p. IN.
We appreciate the noble stand taken by
ZION people. We are planning to enlarge
ZION Institutions and to launch others, and
as rapidly as possible we will see to it that
all who have lost their positions have en-
ployment.
In the meantime, if anyone is in need of
anything, do not hesitate to make your needs
known The General Overseer will see that
your needs are supplied.
ZION people must never compromise they
must never sacrifice principle; but be true
to God even unto death.
No member of the Christian Catholic
Apostolic Church in ZION can consistently
work for Marshall Field and Company in

few people ever dreamed they would do, and
have grossly insulted faithful ZION men and
women; and the awfulness of the insult will
begin to dawn upon you, as time reveals its
infamous depths.
We are prepared to part company abso
lutely with any man or woman who does
not stand firm and loyal for God. We do
not propose to have in Our fellowship trail
tors; neither do we propose to associate with
individuals who will put dollars before God
the Almighty.
MultitudeS of men and women have given
up their positions, lost their properties, and
yielded up their lives, rather than to disobey
God, betray God, and sacrifice principle
ZION is depending upon God; not upon
Marshall Field & Company; and, if we are
true and faithful God will bring us out
more than conquerors over all opposition
With heartfelt appreciation of your faith
fulness, and earnestly praying that God may
ever sustain and make you blessing, am
Faithfully yours in Jesus Name,

Vaccination More Fatal than
Smallpox

The following statement is found in the
report of the gistrar-General of Eng
land: There were twelve deaths due to
smallpox in England and Wales in 1908,
and twenty-nine deaths during the same
period due to the effects of vaccination"
The remedy for smallpox is thus seen to
be nearly two and one half times as fatal
as the disease it is foolishly presumed to
prevent.

Some of the Recent Events
"a

Marshall Field Company, who purchased the Lace In
dustres in 1907, and who ZION CITY making all
kinds of professions about respecting the religious convictions
of ZION people, and about helping maintain the restrictions
in the Lease suddenly swoop down and insult ZION and
by demanding that they have their bodies
polluted by dirty filthy rotten cowpox virus, else go
No consideration shown them for their faithful work
They treated like many dogs proving that the only
thing that Marshall Field Company for is the Almighty
Dollar
ZION people not to be brbed by the offer of POSITIONS
neither will ZION people betray God!
You will observe crowd of internal hypocrites who did
beray God and fall down the feet of Marshall Field & Com
pany and submit to the filthy rite of vaccination solely for the
purpose of keeping their jobs and making few dollars.
Neither God man, the devil has any for such lick

"DOC" WHITE

There was a little man,
His name was Doctor White,
Who bobbed up in our town
To for the devil fight.
For Marshall Field & Company,
He came to vaccinate-
To be their tool and dummy;
For them Grass ignorance pirate.
He called our ZION people
To hear his learned CD talk
How ne could make them feeble,
So they should never walk.
He had some rotten pus,
That's taken from a COW:
mo matter how you fuss,
You ali must have some now.

The real Black Hand is the hand that
yields the vaccine lancet against the help
less child.
"The real poison-needle is the vaccine
point. Life.
The vaccinators should be appropriately
labelled sebarators in conformity with the
fact that their speciality is to separate the
people from their money.
For tricks that are dark and ways that
are devious the vaccinators have no equal.

Some smallpox has been found,
And you are not secure
Unless you come around
Some serum to procure.
Then, when [ vaccinate,
Some putrid sores will come,
And, though the sight you hate,
You will at last be sound"
You lied, you tool of hell!
You thought you'd cause our ruin
That you could ZION fell;
That you could work our doom,
When, like serpent biting,
You'd put the virus in;
Then, like an adder singing,
The curse would then begin.
You're far worse than brute!
A boodler you must be,
Our blood thus to pollute
And us outraged see.
You may be glib of talk,
You dirty Doctor White;
But ZION help shall balk,
And give a frst-class fight!
Go back to hell, you dog,
And take your vaccine too!
You're bloated like a frog,
And soon you'll burst in two.
But ZION never yields,
And ZION ne'er gives up,
I'LL down goes Marshall Field
And ZION is on top!

THE SPIDER i'm the KINGS PALACE

When you look at the world with its and woes,
When you the poor people oppressed by their foes,
You must wonder how this will survive
When almost each day devils arrive
They come, in disguise as angels of light
They people from paths that right;
Then when do SPIDERS they have flies in their net
They pounce their victims: their blood they must get
These spiders infest every place they reach
They take in the country and city and beach.
Every place where they 60 I'm sorry to tell,
Is, by their presence, turned into hell!
They're determined take in the earth, if they can,
And, like the devil, rule home city, and land.
Not shall escape their clutches they say;
Not their plans of destruction say nay
There spiders who graft all they for their money
When victims then squeal, to them it is funny
There boodlers and swndlers of every description
Who choose for their method the highest position.
They terrorze people, and them fear
That ruin and destruction will surely near
Unless all that they have is put into their care
So their victims possessions made their share
There spiders who smoke and spiders who chew;
There spiders who drink and spiders who spew;
Spiders who and the Sabbath Day break;
Spiders who their pen like big muclrake;
Spiders who sell drugs, and who sell pork;
Lawyers who grab all they with fork
Real Estate and bankers who weave
So to their victims they nothing shall leave
But Of all the great spiders of which l could tell,
The medical spider is by far than hell
No matter what you may give to him now,
He walows in filth and looks like
The allopath, homeopath may sound high,
But these and their brothers like the devil can lie.
From your birth your death you must give them your life
And let them destroy it with poison and knife.
But spiders in ZION welcome shown.
If they come, they'll soon go, for ZION the home
Of those who live pure and holy and good
Where of the worlds ways enter should.
But you've read in the Bible that Excellent Book,
That cen into kings palaces spiders will nook,
Where their webs they and the palace disgrace
And make it a dirty, contemplate place
When smallpox broke out in fair little town.
You could have seen how the devil frown
That he ZION with vaccination could bind
So he sent from Chicago Doc White his tool
For surely never have such fool
Who thought that convictions for money give place.
And ZION help surely would fall from grace
Said the small, fat spider doc White in a fright
How comes it that lions longer in sight"
But he how Gods hand wrote their doom on the wall
That sooner Or later Satan's stronghold must fall
For ZION united this City shall save
When soldiers follow our leader so brave
Who will use stiff Broom and City sweep Clean
So not one spider, big or little, be seen

Enforcement of Tyranical
Claws Creates the Right
of Resistance.

The scholarly, Prof F. w. Newman, En-
eritus Professor of Oxford University, Eng
land, writing of compulsory vaccination,
declares: Against the body of a healthy
man Parliament has no right of assault
whatever under pretense of the Public
Health; nor any the more against healthy
child. To forbid perfect health is tyrannical
wickedness just as much as to forbid chas-
tity or sobriety. No lawgiver can have the
right. The law is an uncomfortable usurpa-
ton, and creates the right of resistance"

Corn Is Somewhat Stronger, With

Owing to the warm weather of the
past few days, butter and eggs are

than the price offered Wednesday
Plenty of both of these commodities
is coming to the local markets, and
it is not improbable that if the warm
weather continues, that there will be
still further drop in prices.
There is a strong demand for on
ions, with but few on the market.
They are now quoted at 1925 per
hundred, with the chance that they
will go to $3.50 in a few days.
Corn is steady at 81. There is not
much corn coming in at that quota

DIVERGENT VIE VS.
ON FUTURE parties
SENATORS CUMMINS AND CLAPP
DIFFER IN THEIR 4,
OPINIONS.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 24.-Diver-
gent views as to the future of polit-
ical parties in the United States were
expressed here last night by United
States Senators Albert B. Cumfins, of
Iowa, and Moses E. Clapp, of Mime,
sofa, in addressing the American
Academy of Political and Social
Science. Senator Cummins, who led
the discussion, declared that there is
no question on which the people may
be equally or nearly equally divided,
and that the future. will bring into ex-
istence a great number of parties d.
vided on minor questions, none of
which will be in the majority in con-
gress.
Senator Clapp on the other hand,
declared that in his opinion there al
ways would be two great political par
ties, and that in the future "one par
ty would be based on special privi-
lege and the other on the general well
fare" He outlined the history OF
and olegarchic parties
against democratic parties of this and
other countries, and stated that he be-
lieved the struggle to limit the activ-
ity of the many in favor of special
privilege for the few will continue.

NATION In CHANGING
PERIOD, THINKS TAFT

ALBANY, Jan. 29.-Former Presi-
dent William H. Taft left today for
Canada after urging upon the men,
bers of the Yale alumni association
here last night that the younger gen.
Grafton should be carefully trained in
political first principles.
81 don't like to be regarded as an
old fogy," he said, land | don't think
I am. We are in a transition period
which in many respects presents a
crisis in our national career. We are
in the aftermath of struggle in
which we have escaped a plutocracy.
But we also have made great transit
ton and the people are aroused. Such
transitions, however, always give rise
to an excess of cranks and crankism
and they always suggest things which
are dangerous.
I'VE should see that the coming
generation does not lightly let go of
what centuries has given to us OF
sound political principles. We must
not let the boys take their feet off the
ground and place them in the clouds
where they would shake the founda-
tions of our liberty-our constitu-
ton"

LOCAL REAL ESTATE
DEALER MUCH TAKEN
WITH Fl OR|DA TOWN
T. N. FiGUERS BACK FROM SEW
ERAL WEEKS STAY IN ST.
PETERSBURG.
GREAT POSSIBILITIES IN Land
Fine Climate and Soil Adapted to the
Growing of Oranges and Truck
Crops-Thousands of Northern
Flocking to That Section.

T. N. Figuers, Jr., the local real es-
tate dealer, has returned from st. Pc
tersburg, Fla, where he has been for
some time in the promotion of some
big deals for the Ridgely Realty Co.
He was much impressed with the pos
sibilities of Florida as a field for great
development along agricultural lines.
He stated in an interview that the
possibilities for advancement are al
most unlimited and that thousands
from the northern states are flocking
to that section to purchase the cheap
lands that are on sale. The CONNER
cial clubs and the agricultural depart
ment of the state are carrying on
systematic campaign nof boosting
that is bringing large numbers of set
tiers to make their permanent homes
there.
Around st. Petersburg, the lands
are suited to a dual purpose. Some
Immediately in the vicinity of that
city are suited to the growing of or
anges, and large groves have been
planted that bring almost fabulous
profits after the trees get old enough
to bear fruit. Just across the bay,
the soil is specially adapted to truck
farming, which is also very profitable.
All kinds of vegetables are grown
and shipped to northern points for ear
ly marketing. The climate is such
that these crops can be grown at any
season of the year, or the whole year
round if preferred.
Mr.. Figuers believes that there is a
great field for wide-awake, progress
sive real estate men in that section.
He would have stayed longer but for
the fact that the climate did not agree
with his family. However, while
there, he put over several good deals.
The Ridgely Realty Co., with which
he was connected during his short
staw in the Flarida city, was loath to
lose his services because of the &C.
curate Judgment that he has of real
estate values and the practical expe-
rience that he has had in swinging
big deals Although he has been
back only a few days, he has already
made several trades.

HERALl'S FIGHT
FOR FAIR SYSTEM
IN ASSESSMENT OF REAL ES.
TATE RECEIVES coMMENDA.
TON OF PEOPLE,.

In attacking the present inequita-
Bile and unjust system of assessing
real estate in Maury county, The Her.
aid has received the commentator of
many citizens. There is no desire on
the part of this paper to make any
personal war upon the assessor or his
assistants. They have done no worse
and probably no better than their
predecessors. They have simply pro-
ceeded along the lines of least re-
sistance. They have followed the
long established precedent of leaving
the tax payer to fix the value upon
his property. Of course this necessa-
rily results in unjust and negotiable
assessments.
The situation is one that should
have the attention of the people. The
glazing defects and inconsistencies in
the present assessments should be
corrected. And the people can as
siSt in attaining this highly desirable
end. They can give the assessors
much information that will help them
in their work. The Herald will do
all that it can to remedy conditions
and in the campaign it invites the as
sistance of all fair minded citizens.

lie duty and desire to right wrong

WILSON POLICIES
MEAN LOWER COST
OF LIVING At HOME
SECRETARY BRYAN DECLARES
INTERNATIONAL TRADE WILL
ALSO BE STIMULATED.
DUE TO TARIFF and CURRENCY
Says Proposed Legislation viii Re-
store Competition and Give Consum-
err Better Article for Less Mon
ey.

NEW YORK, Jan. 2S.-President
Wilson's policy toward business and
his proposed legislation toward trusts
promise lower cost of living at
ohme and increased International
trade, William J. Bryan, secretary OF
state, declared in an address before
tie American Asiatic society here to-
night. Secretary Bryan discussed
the administration attitude toward
foreign commerce, as reflected by the
tariff and currency reform measures
and its policies toward private monop-
oily and the Chinese loan question. AL.
luding to the governments proposed
regulation of trusts and the proba eff
feet, Mr.. Bryan said:
THE President nhas outlined a re-
form whse influence cannot be bound
ed by national lines. He has declar-
ed war on private monopoly, and this
means the investment of capital that
has hitherto been frightened away
from industrial fields. If the new pol
icy results in the reduction in the
size of corporations, that have become
Iovergrown, it will mean a larger num-
Der of independent and competing en-
terprises, and this competition will
mean better article at lower price.
1T is worth while to inquire wheth-
er monopolzation has not necessari-
ly resulted in the restriction of ex-
ports, for the maintenance of abnor-
mally high prices tends to prevent ex-
portation, the manufacturers fearing
that a reduction of prices abroad
might result in the loss of an advan-
tage enjoyed at home. In proportion
as industries rest upon their own mer-
it's rather than upon legislative ia
vor, just in that proportion will they
be strengthened for successful con-
test with competitive industries
throughout the world"
President Wilson," the Secretary
added, lis cultivating the friendship
of the people across the Pacific. He
already has spoken a word of hope to
the Fillipinos. A recognition of the
rights of the F'ilipinos to work out
their own destiny will strike respon-
sive chord wherever the people have
feared foreign influence"
The Presidents policies, Mr. Bryan
said, broadly contemplate the formu-
lation of an environment which will
encourage the growth Of all that is
good.
''It is by a cultivation of higher
standards Of morals" the Secretary
concluded, I'VE can assist any people
anywhere to improve their moral
standards, we shall not be without
our reward"
