Fine Democratic Addresses.

Those who did not attend the demo
cratic speaking at Jasper Wednesday
evening lost an opportunity to hear
some .fne oratory. A. Il. Stewart,
chairman Democratic Executive Com
mittee, introduced the speakers. Hon.
b. E. Tatnm gave an excellent
address endorsing the administration
of President Wilson and asking for the
support of the voters for Rye and Moon.
He grew reminiscent in speaking Of his
earlier associations in this county.
Judge Joe V. Williams was the next
speaker, who took up more in detail the
achievements of President Wilson to
make this country better one. Then
the rambunctious Mat Whitaker pro-
ceeded to deliver himself of an over
abundance of democratic oratory that
had been seeking tol bubble forth for
some time. He held his audience close
ly and when he did not hurl democratic
doctrine at his republican audience he
had them convulsed with laughter at a
witty and pointed tstory His closing
yarn about the fox hunt with its appli-
cation brought .roars of laughter from
the republicans and cheers for Wilson
from the democrats.

Be CAREFUL
HOW YOU VOTE
To the Voters of Marion County !:

To the Voters of Marion County:
You will be called on Nov. 18th to
vote for man to represent us in the
Legislature. The question is, are you
for another bond ISSUE You will rec
ollect that Mr.. W promised us, If
elected before, that he would not in
troduce bill in the legislature any
other way than for it to be left to a
vote of the people of the county. He
went right contrary to his promise. or
in other words, went square back on
his word. That man is out before you
again asking your support for the
same Office, Can you afford to support
a man that there isn't any confidence
to be placed in what he says.
He said to me that he was petition
ed to introduce the bill and to leave it
to the county court. Had he wanted
to act fair in the matter when that
petition came to him he would have
let us have known it. mean If the
men who were against the bond issue
had known such petition was out
there could and would have been one
sent to him twice yes, three times
larger than the one be received.
Now. just to tell the truth about it.
he knew that petition had been Sc
cretely gotten up and had never been
presented to anyone who was not in
favor of the bond issue. The majori-
ty of the. people in this county are
strictly against another bond issue.
If Mr.. W should be elected you
may depend on it, our taxes will be
soaring and great many of our small
land owners, such as can barely make
living and pay such tax as is on US
now, will have to sell out or lose their
farms Such state of affairs as this
will cause them to leave the county.
l call such legislation as what we
had, taxation without proper repre-
sentation.
say, look and be careful how you
cast your ballot in November, 1916.

other places interested aud had
beenliberally signed and it was
found that the costs of suit could
be prorated to a two-thirds basis.
This was done and the costs were
paid in full June 6.
1t was a costly piece of busi-
ness for the people, but over two
hundred were possibly concerned
in raising funds to test the law
and hence it was not hard on any
one. Hundreds more would have
been glad to have helped test the
law. Whether the decision was
correct or not is another question.
The Supreme Court assumes it
is, but the unterrified of Marion
are still unconvinced.
Among the sections represent
ed in movement to raise funds
besides Sequachee were Battle
Creek, Sweedens Cove, Kimball,
Jasper, Ebenezer, Inman, Caro-
line Chapel, Victoria and Killian.
Other places were not solicited
as the amount was got up very
hurriedly, but there was no
doubt that responses could have
been secured very readily else
where in an effort to defeat the
force bill.

How the People StrOVe Against
t A Measure They Did
Not Want.
Raised Money in an Attempt
to Avoid increased Taxes
On Their Homes.

4 In settling up a subscription to
the famous suit against the Will
son bond bill this week, inquiry
was made by the party against
whom the pro rate had been as
sessed as to how it had been set
tied and how the thing went any
way.
The thing went in the first
place like Wards ducks, contrary
to all former precedent because
the Supreme Court judges did
not wish to do anything against
the good road movement in the
state.
When the suit was instituted to
to test the validity of Wilson's
bill, r. T. Rankin, Chatta-
nooga lawyer, was secured to take
the case. To reimburse him pa
pers were prepared subscribing
amounts. The following was the
heading of the papers prepared:
1.-THE undersigned, citizens of
Marion County, subscribe the
amounts opposite our names for
the payment of attorneys fees to
r. Z. Rankin, to the amount Of
$500, and court costs, in suit
to be brought to test the validity
of the Road Bond bill passed by
the last Legislature, the same to
he paid within thirty days after
permanent injunction is procured.
But if the injunction is not pro-
cured, then we are to pay only
our pro rata of the court costs
and the actual expenses incurred
by said attorney in looking after
the case. /"

stoned nv the following citizens:

COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK. October 30.-The cotton
market showed renewed nervousness
early today. The opening was at a de-
cline of to 13 points in response to
relatively easy cables. and active
months sold 13 to Is points net lower,
with January touching 1859 and May
1886. Spot houses were moderate buy
ers. and southwestern spot interests
were credited with buying December,
while there was considerable covering
on a sca1edown, but offerings of long
cotton increased on all the bulges. Pri-
vate cables attributed the decline in
Liverpool to liquidation and hedge SELL
ing.
Futures opened steady: December,
1880; January, 1870; March. 1886; May,
1901: July. 1901.
Liquidation became more active be-
fore the end of the morning. Reports
that spot demand was quiet and un-
easiness over shipping conditions.
which seemed to grow from the re-
ported sinking of a British steamer off
the Irish coast. evidently served to un-
settle sentiment. Selling became ag-
gressive. and stop orders were uncov-
cred on the break which carried the
active months about 43 to 49 points
under Saturdays closing figures
around midday. January sold at 1894
and May at 1851, or nearly $3.50 per
bale under the high level reached on
the rally of Friday.
Spot cotton quiet; middling upland,
1856; sales, 500 bales.
The market wa sless active during
the early afternoon, with prices show
ing rallies of IA or Is points from the
lowest on covering and a somewhat
more optimistic view of shipping con-
ditions.
