r. A. GRAY, GOOD
MAN FOR COMPTROLLER

Quincy Enterprise

Now that Hon. W. V. Knott has de-
finitely announced his intention of
making the race for governor IN the
next state primary the Enterprise
wishes to place in nomina ton one of
the best men of the state for the posi-
ton of comptroller.
Our nominee is none other than
Hon. r. A. Gray, of Gadsden, now act
ing as assistant state auditor.
Mr.. Gray is a native Floridian, who
has risen by his owl merit to the no.
tice and esteem of the whole state.
He was for a time in the newspa per
business. being connected with the
Live Oak Democrat and the Tallahas-
sean and was editor and proprietor of
the Havana News, one of the bright
est little weekiies in the state in it's
time. He has been in the service Of
the state for the past few years and
has risen, step by step, from clerk
ship to his present position. While
editor of the Havana News, he was
elected to the legislature from this
county, and his service in the house Of
1909 gained him the favorable atten
ton of every section Of the state.
We believe that the people of the
state could make no better selection
of a successor to Mr.. Knott than to
elect Hon. r. A. Gray.

Unreasonable Automobile
Ordinances.

Pensacola Is not the only city that
Is having trouble with her automo-
bile rules and regulations. Quincy,
Florida. our little neighbor to the east,
Is all stirred up over the automobile
question and here Is the way the
Quincy Times tackles the subject:
Or all the nonsensical, useless and
troublesome ordinances ever passed by
a oty council is the one contemplating
automobiles tic carry two front and
one rear light after dark no matter
whether standing still or moving.
Why should an automobile be made
to carry these lights while standing
in front of a house or alongside the
curb up town any l.lore than a buggy
or wagon or any other class of We
hicle? To compel an automobile to
carry lights while running is alright
but to inflict such a law upon au-
tomobilists as the one mentioned
above Is purely and simply class legis-
would in all probability be declared
unconstitutional. Where is the good
In it? What Is 1t done for?
Anyone can leave his horse and
buggy hitched to a post or tree the
darkest night that the Lord ever sent
and one can drive into it or stumble
over 1t and with the exception of a
few cuss words no harm is done. but
let an automobile owner leave his car
on the street under the bright glare
of an electric light, where you could
not run into it If you wanted OF, and
along comes the police and informs
you that the lights on your car are
nance against such to please appear
before the Mayor. The Mayor re-
luctantly, we say it advisedly because
he is a JUST and MANLY Mayor,
fines you one dollar and costs. JUS
tice? We think not.
II automobiles are forced to carry
lights while standing still, buggies,
wagons and other vehicles should be
made to do the same thing. We do
not believe that the city council which
is composed Of just men, will let such
an ordinance stand. 1t is a nuisance
and cannot possibly be of service tc
anyone and should be repealed.
We have the same kind Of an ordi-
nance in Pensacola and in addition
we have a regulation requiring auto
mobile drivers to make all the noise
possible at every street crossing. This
latter provision is not particularly
hard on the automobile drivers, but
to everyone else it is an unmitigated
nuisance.
In the business section, the noise
from automobile horns Is annoying to
an extreme degree. and residents
along the paved thoroughfares are
disturbed all night long by the en-
forced alarms which the automobile
must sound at all crossings.
In most cities, they arrest person
for making too much noise. In Pen
sacola they arrest you for failing to
do 50. Pensacola's traffic ordinances
need revision.

Canned Goods Imports

Man Loses His Job

ence of three witnesses. This IL
what he has to say:
He stated that lie had lived in and
around Fairmont for the past "a
years and had been tax payer all
these years. He had job digging
bitches with the water department of
the city at $500 per day. He stated
that about month ago lie signed
the petition for the recall. and was
one week ago employed by the city to
dig bitches. He stated that he
thought he had right to sign the pc
tition and little did he think that it
would cause him to lose his job which
he obtained long after signing the pc.
tition. But lie claims that as soon us
his name was discovered upon the pc
tition by the commissioners that two
cmissarics from the city hall. men who
are on the city pay roii. approached
him at his work yesterday afternoon
at $3.50 O'Clock and told him II he
would sign card asking that his
name be taken off the petition he
could knock off work at that time
and be allowed full day. lie stated
that hes did not know whether he
could do this or not and asked for
time 10 get legal advice. He stated
that he went to the prosecuting at

tcrney's office for advice and that
the prosecutor was busy at the time
aad he went into the corridor of the
court house and there met a promi-
mont citizen of the city. Democrat.
and told him his story and he says
that this man told him he would not
take his name of OF the petition II
he wers In his place.
Not being fully satisfied with this
advice, lie went to the office of an
other prominent attorney of the city
and asked his advice. He states that
this lawyer Informed him that il was
very doubtful IL he could get his
name from the list since the petition
had already been filed with the city
clerk and that he did not believe IL
could be legally done.
Acting on this advice Mr.. Morris
refused to sign tho card and he was
promptly dismissed from the service
of the city, although his foreman says
he was an excellent workman and
requested him to report for duty
again today. He showed his voucher
for the time he worked, drawn upon
the city treasurer.
Mr.. Morris lives at 1O2 Pleasant
street. He has four children. When
he told the story Of his treatment, for
exercising the right OF petition he
has been taught that the constitution
gives him In this great free country
of ours, and when lie told Of his need
of employment. and the place 1t
placed those loved ones dependent
upon him for support. the strongest
sympathy went out for him from
those who heard him tell his pathct-
ic story.
We do not know what he can do.
We do not know where lie can get
work. but certainly there will be
some one who will give, him employ
mcnt although there are millions OF
idle men in this country Mt the nrc5-

could not surrender his principle for
the sake of the job he needed SO bad
ly.

ing in the First ward, states that he
was approached by policeman OF

SAD NEWS FOR G. o. P.

The bumper wheat crop predicted
by Government experts in their offici-
al crop report recently issued, was
translated in terms of prosperity in a
statement recently by George M. Rey-
nolds, President of the Continental
and Commercial National Bank of
Chicago, and one of the most infiu-
entail bankers in the country.
eff the predictions hold good, bust
ness is going to start picking up and
a great deal of the uncertain feeling
that has been prevalent in the coun-
try for some time will. be swept
away" said Reynolds.
There is no serious underlying con-
dition responsible for what you might
call the present stagnation-no worse
than they were in 1912, for instance.
''The reaction of the bumper crop
upon business will not be long delay
ed When the first harvesting shows
that the yield is up to expectations,
the country banks will be calling for
money to help move the crop. The
elevators will begin to take on life,
and there wills be a demand upon the
railroad for cars. There are so
many ramiications to be followed
down that it is impossible, of course,
to say just how soon after the harvest
the big wheat crop will have its effect
on all lines of business. ''[ The Wash

PENSIONS FOR AUGUST.
Will Exceed $1,000 0o-Totai Of zoos
Beneficiaries On The Roll.

The August Confederate pension
distribution will run well above $780,
900, the State Pension Commissioner,
w. J. Stone, has 1908 pensioners on
the roll; but 200 of these have died
since their pensions were allowed.
''At the present death rate among
the veterans" said Commissioners
Stone, 81 believe we have reached
the high-water mark and the deaths
will practically keep pace with adj
ditionS to the pension list from now
on"
The act of 1914, amending the pen
sion law to permit Confederate SOL
diers who took the oath of allegiance
during the war under duress and in
fear of death, to secure pensions, has
raised difficult questions, and Com
missioner Stone is requiring proof
that applicant took the oath under
such circumstances.
ITO do otherwise would be unfair
to those veterans who fought it aut,
he said. "They must bring in proof
to support their claims. To allow a
veteran who took the oath of allegi-
ance during the war to come in here
and, on his own mere affidavit that
he verify believed he would be killed
or die of starvation or disease when
he took the oath, while those who
fought throughout the war or served
their time in prisons are compelled
to get up proof, would give those who
took the oath great advantage"

CARD FROM
SCOTT COUNTY
THOMAS CLUB.

GEORGETOWN, KY, July %
The Scott County Thomas Club has
prepared a reply to the statement
made in a letter sent to the Demo
cratic voters of the county by Con-
gresham j. Campbell Cantrill to
show why he should be the Demo
cratic nominee for Congress from this
district. The reply follows:
Headquarters
Scott County Thomas Club
Georgetown, KY, July Fl, 1914.
"To the Democrats of Scott County:
"You have doubtless received Mr..
CantrilIs latest letter on the Congress
sional race. We respectfully ask you
to consider briefly the ridiculous
statements made in this letter. He
writes at length about the Hobson
prohibition resolution and says Mr..
Thomas is not a Democrat because he
favors it.
What is the Hobson prohibition
resolution? 1t is simply proposition
introduced by Mr.. Hobson, Demo
crat from Alabama, to submit to the
people of the various States of the
Union, an amendment to the constitu-
ton of the United States prohibiting
the manufacture and sale of intOXicat-
ing LIQUORS in the United States.
ITO favor this resolution means
that one favors the rule of the people
on the whisky question. If we know
anything about it, that is the very es-
sence of Democracy.
"Why are the whisky people OPP
posed to allowing vote Of any kind
on the whisky question? Because
they know the rank and file of the
people oppose the whisky trust and
are anxious to vote it not only out of
politics, but out of existence.
"But to favor the Hobson resolu-
Ition. means simply that one wants to
give the people chance to say what
they think about National prohibit
ton; it does not indicate that one
would favor or oppose the amendment
when submitted
"Mr. Cantrill seeks to befuddle the
| issue by charging that Mr.. Thomas
| favOrS woman suffrage and that WO-
man suffrage would ruin the country.
| We do not know Mr.. Thomas views
on the question, but if he favors
woman suffrage he is in very good
Democratic company, since William
| Jennings Bryan and Speaker Champ
Clark are both warm advocates of
| woman suffrage.
1--WE shall not pay any attention to
the evident absurdity of his state
ments on the question since it is not
an issue in this race and can be set
| tied when it comes up.
1 = x X
1--WE believe that the temperance
Democrats of the Seventh Congress
/ sional District will resent these slurs
on Mr.. Thomas and on themselves
and will show Mr.. CantriIl that a
Democrat does not surrender his

liquor trust by giving Mr.. Thomas the

whelming majority.
