THE I1laN BEHIND THE PLOW

They sing about gories of the man behind the gun,
And the books are full stories of the wonders he has
done;
There's something sort thrin in the flag that's
in high
And makes you hoIer when the boys march
in by;
But when the shoutins over the fghtns DONE
how,
We find we're still dependn the man behindthe plow.
In all the pomp and splendor of an army parade,
And through the awful darkness that the smoke
made;
In the hall where jewels glitter and where shoutn'
debate;
In the places where rulers deal out honOrs great
There is not single person who'd be doT bizness
Or have medals if it wasn't for the behind the plow.
We're budin mighty cities and we're gainin' lofty
nights,
We're wnnin lots of glory and we're settn things to
rights;
We're a-shown' all creation how the worlds affairs
should rum
Future men gaze in wonder at the things that have
done,
And they'll overlook the feer, just the do
Who's the whole concerns foundation that's the man
behind the plow.

The above is paragraph banded
us by friend for our local column,
and needs little explanation.
J. T. Smith is a mighty hunter of
this city, of whom there are many.
He was hunting the other day with
his son, Sherman Smith Austin Mos
er Sam Mosier and F. l.. Minor. They
had varying luck except as to two in
cidents which were rather surprising,
They were rounding up their hunt
in the railroad yards Just mouth Of the
Union Depot, and Smith spied a rab-
bit skulking among some ties. He
yelled to the other boys to look out,
that he would follow up the trail of
the rabbit Somehow he missed 1t,
and was coming back disgusted when
he spied rabbits head Sticking out
from behind another pile Of ties.
"Look out" yelled Smith, "there he
is, and it's big 'un. I've got him. :"
and he blazed away, He shot straight
enough, filed the logs with lead and
shot the rabbit so dead that it never
even quivered. Smith rushed up to
his quarry, pounced upon it, and as
he did so, was startled to hear yells of
laughter from his comnanions The
rabbit was dead one Smith had shot
earlier in the evening and ne had shot
it yearly to pieces second time.
While he was busy chasing the first
rabbit, the boys bad slipped around
and fixed this one in the logs so he
couldn't help seeing it. He didn't
say word, but went straight home.
or as straight as the fences Of the city
would let him.
Afterwards he said, "Well, now,
you see, didn't mind, you see, shoot
ing the rabbit, you see, twice, you
see, but, you see, hated, you see, to
throw away. you see, such a good
shot, You see, on dead rabbit.

then there was roar of laughter from

CONTEST
PROBABLE
LEGISLATIVE SEAT OF MA.
RI0N STILL SUBJECT OF
ARGUMENT

For some time it has been rumored
that J j. Dykes election to the leg
islature would be contested nv W. II
Wilson, who lost the race by only three
votes as given by official counf. Mr..
Wilson's friends have been urging him
to contest, and some two weeks AGO
report was current that afidavits were
being prepared reciting alleged irregu-
larities.
The Chattanooga Times of Sunday
had the following to saw. regarding
the contest, and cites instances where.
on the contest Will be based, as fol-
lows
Information has been received here
that the seat of John Dykes. whose
election to the Legislature from Marion
county was SHOWN with a majority of
3 on the face Of the returns, will be
contested when the legislature meets.
The claim is that when the matter is
thresbed out, the election of Mr.. Will
SON, the democratic candidate, will be
shown by large majority
1t was said here yesterday by per-
SONS who have talked with Mr.. Will
sons representatives that it will be
asked that the entire box at Jasper be
thrown out At Jasper. it is said,
thirty seven persons were allowed to
vote who did not present their poll tax
receipts, and who did not make the
affidavits required by law that they
had been lost. 1t is said that those
who said that they had lost their re.
ceipts merely signed statement that
they had paid their poll tax, but that
the receipts had been lost. After the
election the statements which we're
found on the floor were picked up,
and will be used as evidence. One of
the statements found was as follows:
81 hereby certify that was per-
manently released from paying poll
tax by the county court of Bledsoe
county On the evidence of the GER
tificates found, and which were not
sworn to, it is thought the entire JAS
per box will be thrown out.
At South Pittsburg three ballots
were marked with a check mark in
stead of a cross mark opposite the
name of Mr. Wilson. Two were sim
iIarly marked for Mr.. Wilson at Rich
ard City. None of the FIVE was count
ed, IL is said. One ballot marked at
Whitwell with a check mark uistead
of the cross is said to have been count
ed.
At another place 10 the county a
Wilson ballot is said to have been
thrown out because the cross mark
was to toe left of the name instead of
the right
The Dortch law does not apply IN
every district in Marion county In
one of the districts where the old style
ballot is used, one ballot is said to
have been wrongfully thrown out as
mutilated. The voter placed penci
mark through the names of the candi-
dates for whom he did not want to
vote
The fact that no ballots we're receiv-
ed at Orme until 2:45 on the afternoon
of the election will be presented in
the petition The ballots intended for
Orme are said to have been mailed iD
time to have reached there by the
time the polls opened, but in some
manner were sent from Jasper post
Office in the wrong direction.

said nothing had happened since the iDtrOduc-
ton Of the bill to abate one iot the lOathing of
Ulster and Irish Unionists for the principle of
the measure. Ulster wanted 1t settled now. She
didn't want sentence of death, with stay Of
execution for six years. He intlmated that if
the time limit was removed he would go to us
ter and call cOnvcntion-pres umably to fight
for permanent exclusion in the referendum
eIection-but with that time limit and Ulster
ready for any emergency he "appealed to the
country and asked them if they were going to
allow the forces of the crown to be used to
coerce men who asked nothing but that they
should remain with England"
John Redmond said that, if Ulster rejected
the proposals, the Natitnalists asked that the
bill should be passed as it stood. Ramsay Nc
Donald declared the posi- ZION of the Labor party,
which was that it was imnIoyable on the ques-
tiGn of home rule, that the house had Il mandate
to pass the measure and, until this was done,
they would not listen to the demands for disso-
luton .:7
Thus the matter stood until recently, when
