the chairman ruled 1t out of order
on the grounds that tnat question had
been passed at a previous meeting Of
the Commercial club.
Now. this commercial club meeting
was not a delegated meeting. Nor
was it board meeting, Nor was il
announced by any one that we would
vote on a bonding issue and yet 1t
was voted there, and the president,
Mr.. Robinson, SO recognized it and
would not allow it to be reconsider
ed
An appeal from the cnair's decision
was made to the house and the chair
man ruled that out Of order and
would not put the question.
Mr.. Barrett should have put the
question himself, but he does not
hear very good, and being ruled out
of order and another speaker recog-
nized, we failed TO get vote again
which / am sure would have carried
two to one against bonding the coun-
ty for trunk highways, mostly paral-
lellng railroads.
Later it was voted to place a mill
age tax on the ballot, the vote being

Mob HorsewhIps Doctor.

MATTOON, ILL.,, March S1.--Dr W.
c. Kimery, of Allenville, 12 miles
from here, was severely horsewhipped
by mob. The chastisement was
substitute for lynching which some
of the mob demanded in retaliation
for the physicians alleged abuse of his
wife.
The story which inflamed the mob
was that DR.. Kmery went home in
toxicated and attacked his wife, who
was i'll of pneumonia. She is said to
have crawled under the bed, but was
driven out by stove poker and wa
ter. Mrs. Kimery is in a hospital her
face and body badly swollen.
Kimery has been arrested.

BONDING PROPOSITION.


the delegates present thought the
Good Roads Association had voted
favoring the bond issue and they hes.
itated to vote against 1t for fear they
would not get their part of the roads
proposed.
If the question had been allowed to
be discussed and put fairly on It's
merits of bond issue or millage
tax, a mlllage tax would have car
ried. But 1t was given out that the
good roads association had voted to
bond the county for ssS0,0OO and this
meeting was called to help the court
select the roads to spend the money
on. SO all Joined in merry scram-
BILE for their part of the roads.
There seemed to be so much dissat-
isfaction over the other two meetings,
especially In the west end where they
thought they should have more than
the $500. 900 allowed them by Mr.. Ra-
ley. That the president called an
other meeting March II at the court
house to go over the whole matter
and hear all complaints and see IL we
could not get together etc. There
was a good attendance at this meeting
from all over the county and agaif
majority of the good roads execu
tive board tried TO get a vote of th'
delepates as TO whether they favored
the bond issue, and the question wa'
put fairly by Senator Barrett and
seconded by w w. Harrah to vot'
for or against bonding the county, ant

told her to shoot him again,
which she did in his presence,

been done. The newspapers have
lent their assistance in every way
possible. The business men of
the county have done a great deal
to make the work successful.
They have supported it not only
with their influence, but also with
their means. They have been
kind enough to supply all the
premiums to the winners in the
different contests.
Many individual citizens of the
county have been a great deal of
help to me in the work, and the
girls and mothers have responded
in a way to make the work very
pleasant and to insure a degree
of success that could not other
wise have been attained.
