RED CROSS
MEETING
Interesting Address by Rev. J.
B. Kenna, at Jasper Sunday
to Large Audience.

A very large number attended
the Red Cross meeting at Jasper
Sunday, held in the High School
assembly hall, and listened to an
address by the Rev J. B. Ken
ma, of Chattanooga. who de.
livered most excellent ad-
dress. To many the meeting was
a most sad affair as many sons
of Marion are in the trenches or
on their way to those terrible
scenes. Marion is divided into
three zones and contributions
were made at the meeting as fol-
lows: Whitwell Zone, $40; Jas
per Zone, $3.50; South Pittsburg
Zone. 81, ,085. The South Pitts
burg amount included a contribu.
tion of $500 from party who
wished name to remain a secret.
The Jasper Zone included a
mounts raised at Republican raj
ly for that zone of $65 and $40
raised by the Masonic Lodge, of
Jasper. Marion's quota is S., 900
and it will be easily raised. and a
number, including several prom
inent republicans, thru DR.. Rauls-
ton, have announced that, if nee
essary, they were ready to dou-
BILE their subscriptions. The con-
census of opinion now is that the
boys in the trenches must be
helped, and helped generously.

Will Elect a Representative
For Marion County


The republicans of Marion in
session at Jasper Saturday decid.
ed to put out a candidate for rep,
resentative to represent the coun-
yin the next general assembly.
This is in the nature of an ap-
peal for direct representation, be-
cause, by a democratic measure,
Marion county is tackled onto
Franklin county as a floterial dis
trict, and this year, under that
democratic law will have no re-
preventative to vote for, Franklin
naming both its own candidate
and the fioter representing both
Marion and Franklin. Republi-
cans are very restive over this
and start a fight for direct re-
presentation by naming a candi-
date and voting for him in the le-
galized primary to be held Au-
gust 1st, and as their man will
undoubtedly be nominated, will
ask for his recognition as a can
didate before the election board
on the ground that Marion county
has the right to direct represen-
tation due it by virtue of amount
Of population.
The meeting Saturday was a
very enthusiastic one and attend
ed by representative republi-
cans and many strong speeches
were made. Among those ad-
dressing the meeting were j. W.
Morrison. who acted as chair
man, D. A. Tate and John T.
Raulston, who is candidate for
circuit judge. Mr.. Tate, who is
a republican of the pronounced
type of loyalist, made a strong
speech in which he pointed out
that the Red Cross should be
helped for the sake Of the boys
who were in France, and as a re-
suit of his speech the sum of
S115 was subscribed in a few MN
utes. Speeches by the various
candidates was also a feature
and brought forth much applause,
many points regarding the loyal
ty of Republicans to their country
both now and past, being brought
out The Republicans of Marion
have set out to elect their whole
ticket in August, and to that end
will organize every voting pre-
cinct so as 70 get out full vote.
This course has been decided up
on as a result Of a report coming
to them that democrats are con-
graduating themselves that e.
nough republicans have been
caught in the draft to give it to
,hem beyond question. This
statement, if really made, may
act as a boomerang. as the peo-
pie are not all pleased with
the draft law, and while for the
sake of their country they have
surrendered their dearest posses
sions, their sons. any attempt to
make political capital out of a
matter concerning the life and
death of these sons will be severe
rebuked at the polls. As re-
publican county the same brand
of loyalty exists today as in 1861,
but the republican parents do not
want their heartstrings played
upon for the sake of success in
politics.
The meeting was called to or
der by H. N. Minis, Chairman
of Executive Committee. j. W.
Morrison was elected chairman
of meeting, and ". c, Hill, sec
retary. Mr.. Morrison in taking
the Chair, stated in no uncertain
terms the loyalty of Republicans
to their country and gained round
after round of applause by his re-
marks. He declared the Demo
