YOUNG MEN TO ORGANIZE
DEMOCRATIC SOCIETY
PromineEt State Speaker to BE
Here at Organization-Time
Now To Fight For Prin-
ciples of Jefferson.

announcement was made in this
paper OF the issue of May 10Th, of
tne prospective organization of II
loung Mems Democratic Club in this
county. Arrangements are now under
way to secure one of our States lead
ing men to deliver an address Mt the
organization meeting. The exact date
Will be printed in both the county pn-
pers just as soon as it is fixed with
the speaker. This, we hope, will be
within the next three or four weeks :
anyway, shortly after the national
convention.
At this time, by reason of the
unprecedented success of the Wilson
administration, the opportunities for
bringing young men into the Demo-
cratic party are unusual. The people
have been made to realize the sound
ness OF democratic principles, not
merely because they sound good in
theory, but because they have proven
practical when put to the test. The
people have realized that the Demo-
cratic party has enacted the greatest
banking and currency law the coun-
try has ever known after the Rcpub-
lican party had failed; that the Dem
ocratic party has cleared up the tar
if after the Republican party had
clouded it. They know that the Demo
cratic party has about doubled the
army and has framed the greatest
navy bill in the history of our coun-
.ry; that it has kept the country out
of war and preserved the honor of
hu nation.
The Democratic party has done
more for the country in three years
han the Republican party did in six
cen years of continuous power 1t
IS a record not paralelled by the Re-
Dublicans in the history of the Unit
I'd States. With these facts Young
Mems Democratic club will be able to
approach the young men who lean
towards the Republican party in such
a persuasive way that they can scarce
" help seeing the light and, conse-
qucntly, vote the Democratic ticket
in the coming fight. With the right
kind of work among the young Dem
ocrats, assisted by the older ones, Il
Democrat will succeed Mr.. Slemp
this November. C.

if it can be so guarded as to prevent

VERDICT OF JURY SET ASIDE.

There was considerable interest tax
en- in the trial of the case of w. r..
StinsOn against Thos. j. Johnson, in
the Circuit Court here. The suit in
volved a dispute over the division
fence between the lands of the par
tics.
Johnson moved the line fence over
the protest and objection of Stinson
and Stinson brought an action of un.
lawful entry and dctaincr against
Johnson. On the trial of the case the
jury rendered n verdict in favor of
Johnson, but the court set aside the
verdict of the jury rs being con
tary to the law and evidence. II
seems the jury ignored the instruc.
tions Of the court entirely.
