AND SEWERAGE BOND
ISSUES

In accordance with an advertise
ment published during the past month
in the local as well as several city
financial papers, the board of bond
trustees for the city met this fore

chase and improvement of the plant,
but not issued until this time, and

ers.
The bond trustees have been hard
at work to place these bonds to ad-
vantage, and the deal made today by
which they were sold at par is an evi-
dence that they have not been work
ing in vain.
Besides the local banks number of
representatives of out of town con-
Germs which had made bids for the

BIG ADDITION TO
A THRIVING BUSINESS


The Marion Furniture Company has
just completed an addition to the rear
of its store room on West Broadway,
made necessary by the constant in
crease of its business, and even with
this annex the entire place is now
crowded to capacity with everything
in the house furnishing line
Another building has also been Sc
cured by the company for use as a re-
pair shop. The demand has become
so great for work in this line that
Mr.. Fort, the wide awake proprietor,
sees the necessity of this department
of his business He says many people
have valuable furniture which in time
gets more or less SCARED and does
not present the appearance that it
should in the home, and thus it Is de-
sirabIe that it be re-varnished or pos
sibly re-uphclstered- Then many
have expensive mirrors which have
become "speckedv in the silverings
and Mr. Fort has secured the services
of a man thoroughly familiar with
this class Of work to re-silver them
In spite of the occasional complaint
of others that business is slow, the
Marion Furniture Company has kept
steadily on the upbuild through il all,
and Mr. Fort reports very satisfac-
tory increase in his May and June
trade over that of last year in the
same months

BL0XHAM' BUDGET
1t viii Tax the People of the New
County Beyond their Means to
Pay Expenses

It's all very good to have nice lit
tie county of your own, with your own
officers and courthouse. Particularly
is it nice for the officers and the town
the courthouse is in. But it is the
people out in the country who have to
foot the bills. In good many things,
a little county costs as much as a big
one, and to pay the cost ten thousand
people will have to be taxed four
times as much as forty thousand. The
following from the veteran tax as
SCISSOR, Alfred Aver, will give the peo-
pie of the proposed new county an
idea Of the staggering load they will
be expected to carry:
Editor Star: The proposed line will
cut from Marion 204 sections-13O,-
900 acres assessed on the 1914 books
at $416,710, 1880 of which has been
certified to the state for non-payment
of taxes.
As the lines cut several precincts,
its hard to tell just on which side of it
parties live who own lands in both
counties. 1t is therefore impossible to
figure out the assessments on per-
sonal property to the cent but have
figured it near enough to know that
the assessment on personal property,
including railroads, that it will get,
cannot bring the total amount up to
more than a half million dollars.
The promoters of Bloxham county
claim that they have an assessed val
uation of two and half million dol
lars to derive their revenue from,
half of which they said would come
from Marion. We have every reason
to believe that Levy county will pan
out about like Marion, and that Blox-
ham county will have less than half
the assessed valuation claimed for
her, and as she cannot run on less
than the amount claimed, assess
ments will certainly have to be dou-
bled.
Bloxham county will cut off many
of my best, true and tried friends
who have never gone back on me and
/ want them to have everything they
wish, but want them to have it with
their eyes open. My farm covering one
section of land will be in Bloxham
county and / am now paying all the
taxes on it that the property will
stand; but boys, you are all my friends
and if you want it, go ahead and vote
for it; I can stand as much as you
can, but the truth is that none of us
can stand it long, and it is always
easier to get into trouble than to get
out. Yours truly, Alfred Aver.

FEAR FOR SAFETY OF FOREIGN
ERS
For practically six days no definite
word has been received here concern
ing what has happened in Mexico
City. The latest news by courier to
Vera Cruz described conditions as ex-
tremely critical. These advfces, when
they reached here Nseveral days old,
said the Zapatistas had defeated Con-
zales' army. 1t is feared the fighting
has been carried into the capital, en-
dangering the lives of foreigners.
sCRAPPING IN THE SUBURBS
Carranza telegraphed his agency
here today that further attack on
Mexico City was delayed while Con
zales was trying to arrange to avoid
battle within the capital itself. This
dispatch said the diplomatic corps was
seeking to protect non-combatants of
all nationalities in event of fighting
within Mexico City. The Zapata
forces are reported to have sent the
archives to Cuernavaca. 1t is report
ed that Gonzales men are fighting
the Zapataistas in the suburbs.

Formerly it was thought that for 30.

do mind it are saved from something

an important fact: booze and business

Don't Pity Mr.. Bryan!

In speech for prohibition at
mass meeting at Cleveland, Ohio. sun
day.. William Jennings Bryan told an
audience not to pity him for MS 'un-
successful political career
"Sometimes my friends have ex-
pressed their sympathy to me because
of what they termed the UNSUCCESSFUL
ness of nv political career: why. they
shouldn't do that! Since I've peen IN
notifies reforms have been accom-
plished with the loss of a single lie
that would have cost thousands OF
lives in sacrifices 200 years ago. Pity
me? Don't do it. If l hads lived two
centuries ago and advocated what l do
now.-I would have been hung. No
enc has accomplished any great re-
form without being abused ana ostra-
cized at first. But, when man De-
,ieyes he is in the right he must speak
out"
Mr.. Bryan speaks as though he
wers the pioneer and the whole show
since. in what he advocates AS
matter of fact, Mr.. Bryan entered
very late in his unsuccessful career"
upon advocacy of prohibition and
other moral crusades. Thousands Of
good men have died after devoting
their best days to the reforms which
Mr.. Bryan now advocates, while he
was wasting his breath and energies
in mistaken Interpretation of the
country's economic needs.
Gen. Neal Dow had no fear Of be-
ing hung. did not expect his esTSusai
of a great cause to take him to the
White House. nor did he feel that his
political career had been unsuccessful.
because he was pointing out the follies
of the masses instead Of directing the
affairs of the nation.
Mr.. Bryan is devoting his great
ability to a noble cause; may he live
long and remain true to his present
love. He is now comforting a greater
service to his fellow man than he
could in any executive office at Wash
ington. He is in no need of sympathy
nor does he deserve it. He has re-
ceived much from the American
people. He will do well to give them
the balance of his services in moral
uplift
