The Polk County Republican. (Ducktown, Tenn.) 1914-191?, 1914-07-31

THE defeat of SAM C. WILLIAMS means that
the most vicious element in the State will
be in the saddle.
THIS is the time when the campaign lie is
due for an appearance. Don't take any
thing for granted; investigate
THAT Republican who goes after strange gods
at this election will never have claims in
the future worthy of recognition.
LAD the tariff reduced even one single
IL item in the cost of living, the rest of their
promises might have been overlooked
THE Nashville Banner intimates that even if
CRUMP votes his thousands of niggers, SAM
C. WILLIAMS majority will be around $4,000.
T EFT every Republican who can get to the
II polls see that he is there on time. Let
there be no trading. Vote your ticket straight.
WHEN it comes to efficiency, Polk County
w has never had set of officials that looked
after her interests better than our present one.
THE Republican who thinks it is right to
scratch his ticket, this time, might just as
well scratch the whole thing. Be a man or a
mouse.
+ there ever was time when FOLK county
needed men of tried ability at the head of
her affairs, that time is now. Do not be led by
promises.
THE farmers of this country, in ten months,
have lost $75,OOO,OOO. What the maun-
facturers and their help have lost can not be
computed.
THE prospects for Republican victory were
never brighter than at the present writing
Without the he lp Of Republican votes no Demo-
crat has even lookin.
MO Democrat can be elected in Polk County
without the aid of Republican votes
The way to have friends is to be one, and the
loyal Republican is never without them.
A IL together, now, for rousing Republican
"A victory! Do not let Democratic county
administration do for Polk what the National
administration has done for the whole country.
ITO the taxpays of Polk County, the election
of the entire Republican ticket is a matter
of dollars and cents. Vote for your own inter-
ests. Prejudice or sympathy cut small figure
in business proposition.
TT SAM C. WILLIAMS had any railroad connec-
tions that would unfit him for service Oh the
Supreme Bench, we do not believe ne would
make the race And he is man enough to come
out into the open and say it, if it were true.
The Polk County Republican. (Ducktown, Tenn.) 1914-191?, 1914-07-31

THE President is of the opinion that the Sen
L ate doesn't know good man when it sees
one. 1t hasn't seen Mr.. WARBURC yet.
IF there is Princeton graduate that hasn't been
L supplied with Federal Job it is probably
because the Presidents attention has not been
called to it.
IF there is any reason, whatever, for keeping our
army at Vera Cruz, we have not heard it
mentioned There was no excuse for sending
them down there in the first place.
THE triumph of the Republican party at the
coming election means victory in the guber-
Material election, this fall. That Republican
who aids the enemy now will always regret it.
livery Republican vote given Democrat is
II blow to the whole party. If a man pre-
tends to be Republican and can not support his
party ticket, he ought to stay away from the polls
THAT item of ST 100000 month loss by
means of low tariff will be borne in mind
by the American farmer when he votes, next
November, for Congressman who frame tariff
bills.
TN the ten months ending April, 1914, the value
of foreign foodstuffs imported into the Uni
ted States increased $1O,OOOOOO, or $l,COO,-
600 month. This money, which should have
gone to American farmers, went to foreigners.
IF we are to win in 1916, we must win in every
L County, State and Congressional election be-
tween now and then. The Republican who can
not. or does not, see the necessity of standing
solidly for his ticket at this time is blind, IN
deed
uOW do those who vote the Democratic ticket
IL in Tennessee like the idea of such close
affiliation with the low-down negro scum that
CRuMP is injecting into the campaign? Only
1000 have been registered in this white
mans party.
THE Senate Committee on Banking and Cur
L rency has reported adversely on the nomi-
nation of THOMAS D. JONES for member OF the
Federal Reserve Board. The nomination was
virtually the payment of a political debt and
the President, by Withdrawing his nomination,
saw that that Senate would not stand for it,
WYE heard an alleged Republican "cussing
w the President to beat the band. This
same men, we understand is going to vote tor
at least one Democrat, next Thursday. This
man can see the evil wrought by Democratic
power upon the whole country, and now by his
vote he wants to fasten the same blighting in
Auence upon Polk County. The shame OF such
inconsistency can not be measured by words.

A REPUBLICAN watcher should be stationed

may not be necessary, but there is no use OF
taking any chances.
IRON the amount of noise some OF the Dem
ocrats are making, you would think that
they expected to elect the whole ticket Noise
never won an election.
TT is said that Judge BURRow would be an or
nament to the Supreme Bench. There have
been too many ornaments of this stripe on the
bench in the past, and people are satisfied with
that which is useful.
THE worth of T. O. PACKS services to Polk
County can not be measured from stand
point of money. His experience has given HIM
an intimate knowledge of the countys affairs
and this enables him to safeguard the interests
of the people as no other man in Polk County
can do.

1 recommend that when it becomes
necessary to punish any convict under
the direction of this board that a report
of the same be filed in the commits
sioners' office. such report to show the
offense, the time and place of punish
ment, the number of lashes admins
tered and the name of the man admin
istering the punishment
The board has authorized the commit
tee on public works to install shower
baths at the county barracks near Bell
wood, for the use of the convicts, and
recommend that the committee on pub

work and have the same completed as
early as possible.
In conclusion, I beg to thank each
member OF the board for their kindly
cooperation and support during the
year, and trust that the incoming year
will be one Of the most prosperous and
harmonious in the history of the board.
Respectfully submitted.

YOUTH HELD
Clarence Todd, Also Charged
With Choking LandIady, Sur
renders-Under Bond.

Clarence Todd, the young man
charged with assault the second time
within a fortnight, Friday was at the
police station in default of a $1,000
bond.
Todd walked into the station
Thursday night and said he wanted
to surrender, since he had just read
in The Georgian that he was sought
en- charge of assaulting j. n. Rich,
an old man of Holds drive, Oakland
City.
Todd was put under a $1,000 bond
some days ago on a charge of chok-
ing his landlady, Mrs. Sallie Folger,
of No. IA Hoods drive. The charge
the police have against him now is
that he struck Mr.. Rich with a shovel
when the latter was trying to protect
Mrs. Folger from another attack by
Todd.
The police say Todd went back TO
Mrs. Folgers home and threatened TO
kill her unless she had the case
against him withdrawn. Mrs. FolSer
fed to the home of Mr. Rich, her
next door neighbor. They allege that
Todd pursued her and that when Mr..
Rich tried to put him out of his house
he struck Mr.. Rich with a shovel. Mr..
Rich is in a desperate condition.
Todd denied the charge at the po-
lice station Friday. He said he called
at the Rich home in spirit of peace,
and that the old man attacked him
with a shovel. In the scuft1e, he said
Mr. Rich was accidentally struck

MEAT INJURIOUS
To THE KIDNEYS
Take Tablespoonful Of Salts if
Back Hurts or Bladder
Bothers.

We are a nation of meat eaters and our
blood is filed with uric acid, says well
known authority, who warns us to be con
stantly ON guard against kidney trouble.
The kidneys do their utmost to free the
blood of this irritating acid, but become
weak from the overwork; they get slug
eish; the eliminative Tissues clog and thus
the waste is retained in the blood to poison
the entire system.
When your kidneys ache and feel like
Jumps of lead and you have singing pains
in the back or the urine is cloudy, full of
sediment, or the bladder is irritable, oblig
ing YOU to seek relief during the night
when you have severe headaches, nervous
and dizzy spells, sleepessness, acid stom
ach or rheumatism in bad weather, get
from your pharmacist about four ounces of
,Jad Salts take tablespoonful in a glass
of water before breakfast each morning
and in few days your kidneys will act
fine. This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithia, and has been used for genera
tons to flush and stimulate clogged kid
news, to neutralze the acids in urine so
il is no longer source of irritation. thus
ending urinary and bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot in
lure; makes a delightful effervescent lithia-
water drink, and nobody can make mis-
take by taking littfs occasionally to keep
the kidneys clean and active.-Advt.
