Marion County under quarantine,
which is the proper thing to do. SnnN
off those coming over in our county
from the smallpox regions, and bring
ing into our Unjust tue contagious dis
ease which proves to be so fatal IN tue
localities where it is raging. Tue
health officer is making arrests and
some of the violators seem to be
among the most Intelligent people we
have One was represented as Nj.
g., and another land agent of a
large land corporation. He had to be
cited before a J. P before he would
yield to the state quanarsntine law
No fine less than So 90 or more tnan
$25 90 / am proud of the law as writ
ten in the statute books that record
thus, that all cor orations and tueir
agents doing business in this state
when they violate our Tennessee quar-
antine laws, become as private indiv-
iduals, aud looks like You and l, ano
are dealt with accordingly. Inc
I health officer on board from here to
! Whiteside on tire N, G. q st. l.. Ky
| is all wool and mile wide, AMI we
all can safely vouch for his official
capacity as fr-t class. ana will not
suffer any intruder to escape thru tue
| lines of the quarantine, who is not
clot ed with legal and necessary pa
pers from the Board of Health to pass
him in anu out of our county, TO
which We all say, Amen.
We understand that the attempt by
some supposed crook to blow up the
building and safe of S. L Pryor d
Son, was mere joke played on some
party to have a lot of fun out of him,
| and l am led to believe they sure had
| it and gave him q wonderful SEND OF,
at which they have laughed until some
of them have shaken out their false
teeth
1t think the new independent school
district to take in the town and MAKE
the Whitwell college high school Is
a good move ON the part of toe advo-
Gators of the bill, anu another move on
| foot to repeal this darn Dorch law,
anu redistrict oul county and wipe 1t
out is another step that meets the ap-
prevail of the citizens of all Marion
county
We sure have panic on now. The
only remedy is to fight tue earth ana
till the soil to finish. Our people
are very much like stock in some re-
spects You can put bunch OF cattle
in fine pasture and as long as the past
ure Is good tue cattle will stay In
there perfectly quiet aud content, but
when it is eaten out, they get unruly
and get to jumping out and trespass-
ing. So it is with oul American peo-
pie, when all the cotton is locked up
in the ware houses in the South ana
all the Am rican industrial machine
shops aud factories shut down, and
Dot darn thing stirring far and wide
for the poor laboring men and wome
to do, then our people begin, like the
cattle on pasture eaten out clean,
tuey begin to get hungry and starve.
They get unruly and begin to steal
anu trespass on account OF no employ
mept Tue result is the county jails
are filled to their utmost capacity.
To give you the facts AMI Off ial rec
ords of only one days work, just over
in our sister county Of Hamilton
there we're forty cases of burglary and
larceny don't undertake to say this
Democratic administration is total
failure, but do say that there is a to-
tai bar under the administration to the
laboring element of the country. 1t
seems it has made a total failure to
secure jobs ami is now standing idle
ana unemployed Theie seems to me
like there is either a failure in the
affairs of the present administration,
or from some cause, failure Of the
laborer. to get employment SO the
thing is up to us, either good or bad.
You be your own guardian and your
own Judge This prohibition ques-
ton now famed into POLITICS that,
nerhaps ought to have never been in
coruorat-d into our state issue am
state platform, is just going on AM
by anu by it seems it will be nation
al issue / will leave that part of the
discussion off for l really don't know
the bat policy to pursue We will
leave this question off just now, and
what the final results as to what
course we will take on the subject
Some parties called my attention
last week and mistook me ~ the wri
ter in the Loach, Aunt Belle, " Gun
Gle Tom," Rev G. W. White and
Rev. N. w. Balock scriptural discus
sion am not connected, either d.
rectly or indirectly in their discus
sions, but am only reader, but will
say to all without malice or prejudice
to any, the party with the scriDtural
proof, let him deliver the goods. They
are all my personal friends, and If you
can't discuss the issue involved with
out getting mad, just shut it down
and let it pass.
We have an extraordinary damage
suit filed in the circuit court at jasper
for ten thousand dollars for personal
injuries occurred in assault and bat
terry up here between two prominent |
citizens of our county. The result of |
this unusual suit is hard to tell.
Hon. W. 81. Wilson, was here this
week looking over the political field
to see what are the best interests of
the people, to do little legislatiug
"Honey" is crackerjack, and if he |
gets thru all his contemplated bills,
he will accomplish mole than any
former representative from Marion
county. If he does rid my county Of
this darn Dortch law and jury com
mission business, we will sure put a
feather in his cap
