TWO SAMPLE CASES
A COUPLE OF TAX COLLECTOR
COLBERTS BIG BUNCH OF
AFFIDAVITS

Some people are unnecessarily dis
tressing themselves about Tax Col
lector Colbert, who has, they say,
shown partisanship in the matter of
holding up poll taxes sent him by I'M
known parties, in order to enable wet
men to vote. They even threaten to
report him to the governor.
If the distressed people aforesaid
will look at the law, as printed in the
statute books, they viii see that Mr..
Colbert is only doing what the law
requires him to do. AS for reporting
him to the governor, they have
right to do that, and we should advise
them to get busy right away.
In one of the bank vaults, Mr.. Col
bert has a big bunch of afidavits Civ
en- him by voters whose poll taxes had
been paid, contrary to law, by other
parties, but who either gave up the
receipts or declined to receive them.
For obvious reasons, Mr.. Colbert is
not publishing these affidavits. He is
keeping them to hand to the grand
jury when that body meets Dec. 13.
Mr.. Colbert, however, authorizes
the Star to publish the two following,
Just as samples of the bunch. and as
q specimen of the way in which law
and public sentiment are being violat-
ed by the vets.

ROUNDED UP RICHARDSON
Man Who Killed His Wife at Calvary
Two Years Ago, in Jail

Sheriff J. P. Galloway returned last
night from Live Oak, where he went
to bring in one Frank Richardson,
alias Frank Green, who is now lodged
in the county Jail. Richardson two
years ago killed his wife by beating
her over the head with a shotgun
near the home of the couple at Cal
vary postofice.
Richardson has been at large ever
since and on several occasions the
sheriff has been close behind him, but
he was only arrested last week in La
fayette county, where he had been at
work for some months under the
name of Green.
An Indictment was returned sew
eral years ago charging Richardson
with murder, and no doubt his case
will be heard at the coming term of
circuit court.

and daring piece of strategy for Mr..
Windle to challenge Mr.. Upshaw to
meet him in debate at a time when
the latter's engagements demanded
that he be 230 miles away. Like the
little dog that rushes out of the yard
and barks ferociously at the big mas
tiff, trotting along under the wagon n
hundred yards or more away.

THE CHALLENGE ACCEPTED

However, Mr.. Upshaw is not given
to running away. He accepted Mr..
Windle's challenge, on condition that
the debate, open at 2 o'clock today

speech, so he could leave for Savan-

A PROHIBITION CROWD

The debate began at 2:30 this aft
|ernoon. The crowd gathered around
the band stand was overwhelmingly
prohibition in sentiment. The w. z.
T. U. was out in force, added to by as
many of the voters as could spare
time from their business. Scores of
temperance people came in in autoes
from the country to hear for the last
time, Upshaw, who has won all their
hearts.
Mr.. Windle began the debate. He
is good speaker, and it is likely that
none could make a better argument in
a good cause. He was heard with in
terest and courtesy, but his address
aroused no enthusiasm.
Mr.. Upshaw followed, and no man
could have made better use of the
brief time he had. He was cheered to
the echo, and when he left to take the
Seaboard limited he carried with him
as much of Marion county's apprecia-
tion and sincere good will as any man
ever had.
Mr. Windle finished, and was speak
ing as the Star went to press.
HE rs HIRED
Mr.. Windle in speaking to the peo-
pie this afternoon amused and inter-
ested all, for he is certainly not lack
ing in brilliancy. He rubbed the fur
of the vets the right way and cheer
ed their sinking hearts, but he did not
make any votes.
Why?
Because he is paid speaker of an
niquitous traffic, and has no cause at
heart except adding to his bank roll.
ASHAMED TO BE IT'S ADyO-
GATES
1t is worthy of special note that
the vets must send to a big city in
distant state to obtain an advocate
for their cause. And why should this
be, when we have SO many good
speakers and writer's at home?
Because the men at home are
ashamed to speak and write for the
wet side. The vets cannot find in
Marion county a man who will go on
the platform and make a speech in
their behalf. They can't find writer
who will advocate their cause over his
own name.
All over Marion county tomorrow,
ministers of the gospel, white and
colered, will plead with their hearers
to vote dry-will give them reasons
why they should vote dry.

The recent organization of The
Navajo Ointment Co.., by Monte

and one which has every indication
of widely advertising the San Luis

gun the manufacture of Navajo
Pinon ointment, the secret of the
preparation having been obtained
from the Navajo Indians who have
been using it for centuries for the
ills and ailments of their people.
Recommending the ointment is
the fact that it's ingredients are of
strictly natural plant origin and
contains no harmful drugs or OPT
ates. Very fattering testimonials
as to the merit of the ointment have
been received by the company who
will soon be in a position to place

Ionte Vista and Hooper two cars of
his wheat were secured for seed in

Eas put out to all of the growers
skiing for their yield and some
uestions as to their opinion of the
esirability of this wheat for the
alley. A very large number of the
armers responded to this reques

ummary of opinion has just beer

all who are interested, and who
hay ask for the same.
The majority of the growers were
Fell pleased with their results and
host of them will give it trial OF
larger acreage this year. A num-
er will plant no other wheat
tany farmers who did not grow
arquis wheat last year are secur-

his year. Fully seventy-five pei
ent report a yield equal to or bet
pr than the Defiance grown under
milar conditions. This wheat is
eady to harvest fully ten days ear
er than the Defiance, seems to be

Here in the Valley perhaps more
