dared rarely contemplate. Before his
uncle had come he had more than

him, looked up to him. He hoped she
returned his love.
But now!- Before, he could have

this lovely girl to help him share

Then Nella was down on her knees;

His curiosity and interest aroused,
Edison hurried to the front door, and

A ASSOCIATION MEETS AT MA
RIANNA AND AGAIN ELECTS
I'D. SMITH AS PRESIDENT.
SPECIAL 10 THE JOURNAL.


Mariana, Fla, Sept. 18.-At a
meeting yesterday of the stockhold-
ers of the West Florida Fair Associa-
ton it was unanimously decided to
hold the fair this year, and the sec
Ond week in November was set as the
date. President ]. D. Smith, who
has been manager of every fair ever
held here, was reelected, though re-
questing to be relieved.
Much enthusiasm was manifested
and it is freely predicted that this
will be the best year in the history
of the West Florida Fair, which has
always been popular and paying in
stitution. The recent gratifying in
crease in the price of cotton, of
which this county produces as much
as all the remainder of the state to-
gether. has put new life into bust
ness in this city and section and ev-
erybody is taking hold with renewed
confidence of every proposition for
the good of the community.

Vets Claim the
Election Call Illegal

tContinued from Page one)
intent to reduce the number Of regis.
tered voters so that the prohibition
petition would contain the % per
cent of names required to call the
election. 1t is also set forth in the
petition that many Of the names on
the prohibition petition are forged
while others are duplicates.
Another contention of the petition
is that the prohibition petition con-
tains insufficient names to call the
election. 1t is claimed that there are
1900 registered voters IN the county
and 1900 signatures would be re-
quired to call the election, while
there are 1,706 names on the dry pc
tition.
CHARGES AGAINST HICKS.
Prior to filing the last petition
with the board the petition alleges
that the supervisor or registration
struck from the registration books
the names of 625 voters after prohi-
bition leaders had presented affida-
Wits to the effect that these voters
had either died or lost their fran
chise by changing precincts without
securing transfers. In striking off
these names the petition charges that
the supervisor Combined and con-
federated" with the prohibitionists
without giving any Of the voters
whose names were stricken off the
chance to set the record straight.
A history of the movement for the
election Is given in the petition and
reference is made to the number Of
times the prohibitionists are alleged
to have been given additional time
by the county commissioners to Sc
cure the required number of sigma
lures.
The petition also points out that
after the board had accepted six
Withdrawals from the petition it later
refused to accept 472 withdrawal
cards.
The court is asked to enjoin the
board from holding the election on
the ground that under the circum-
stances the election would be viola
ton of the constitution Of the United
States and the laws of Florida.
Commissioners j. George White
and w. T. Tracy were served with
notices of the injunction yesterday
afternoon. Chairman Barrineau was
out Of the city.
