Naples Man Sets Forth Reasons
Why Court House Bonds
Should Garry at Election
May 7.
SHOWS COST UpKEEP
OF OLD COURT HOUSE
Says Would Cost Four Times as
Much to Replace Records as
to Build Safe Place for
County Files.

Wight Jones, a farmer living near
Naples in this county is strong for
the proposed $250,00o court house
bonds, and in letter sets. forth his
reasons for favoring the bonds He
sums up conditions and shows clear
ly why the court house proposition
as proposed in the bonds is good
Investment for farmer, business man
and in fact everyone in Grady
county The letter follows:
"There have been talks, formal
and informal, with the dear voters
relative to the issuing Of two hun
'dred and fifty thousand dollars in
county bonds for the purpose Of
building county court house and
jail. This is a business proposition,
whorein al thc people are con.
cerned.
Records of the county make this
statement that it has cost practi-
cally three and one-half thousand
dollars per year. for the past four
years as upkeep and maintenance OF
the present court house, and our ex-
perience teaches US that the expense
will be larger from year to year. as
long as we continue to use the
present building.
at is further shown that the in
crease in the levy that would be re-
quired to take care Of the bonds for
the first two years will not exceel
45 and u cents on one thousand
valuation. After the first two years,
the extra levy would not exceed %
cents on the thousand dollars valua-
ton. The man whose farm is valued
at ten thousand dollars would have
an increase in his tax of $4.55 first
two years and $3.50 for the remain
ing years, until all the bonds are re-
tired
"The cost should be secondary in
considering the need of a new Grady
county court house Everyone knows
that the records of the county have
very little protection. Should the
records of the county be destroyed
by a fire or other means as is very
possible as long as they are kept in
the present court house, it would
cost enough to replace these records
according to law, to build four build
ings similar to the one proposed
"Some day we will be forced to
build new court house Why not
now?
"Some opponents of the project
contend that material is too high;
others say labor is too high Many
of the farmers say their farms are
mortgaged and that they cannot af-
ford to pay an increase in tax. The
city man who opposes the building
of a new court house, says he is in
debt and that he wants to discharge
that debt first.
!. "Such persons should consider this
proposition from this angle: if
money is Withheld from circulation,
which would be the result of the
defeat of the court house bond prop
sition; and developments are checked
for a time, we will have cheap labor,
cheap material and will receive no
price for our farm products.
Cheap. farm products will result
in less profit to the farmer. Under
those conditions, he would have to
raise much more stuff than he does
at present to make as much money
as he does when prices are reas-

TAFTVILLE-BEAR CAT GAME
 CALLED OFF; TO PLAY AGAIN

After three days of discussion as to the fairness of the game played last Saturday between the Taftville First team and the Bear Cats, manager Dugas of the first team and Sullivan of the Bear Cats decided to call the game off and start the series over again. Each of these teams has placed a side bet of fifty dollars with George Weller of Taftville, the team winning two out of three games to take it all and also the proceeds of the game In the game last week an unfair decision was made at second base and the Bear Cats refused to continue the game for the final in- ming. The umpire then gave the game to the First team. As this caused great deal of trouble the managers of the two teams decided to play the series over again starting with the sides even. All bets on the first game have been called off and the game thrown out of the records. The game that will take the place of this i game will be played this Saturday at 1 the Taftville diamond and the teams are trying to find some umpire that
 can be depended upon for fair de- cisions.

Toledo, O., June 25.-Selection of of- cials to decide ;. the heavyweight championship between Jack Dempsey and Jess Willard here July will not be announced until Friday.
 Postponement in making announce ment of the selection, scheduled for to- morrow, was caused by failure of Adam Empie. secretary of the army, navy and civilian board of boxing con- trol, and W. A. Gavin, a member of the executive committee. to leave for New York until Il o'clock tonight. Because they will not arrive in New York un- til 5.Se o'clock tomorrow afternoon, it will be impossible, they said to hold a meeting of the executive committee of the board until Friday. Tex Rickard, promoter of the contest. will be au- thorized to announce the decision.
 A distinct surprise was caused to- day when it was definitely announced that there would be three officials, two judges and referee, to decide the con- test. Both Willard and Jack Kearns manager of Dempsey. had declared they were opposed to the three-man system. Willard's consent was ob- tained this morning, while Kearns agreed this afternoon.
