have no authority whatever outside
Of the corporate limits, The Record
er's jurisdiction is defined by Section
8 of the charter of Greeneville, which
says:
"The Recorder whose term
shall be for two years, and who
shall be invested with concurrent
jurisdiction with justices Of the
peace in all cases Of the viola
ton of the criminal laws of the
state or the ordinances of the
municipality within the limits of
said municipality"
By charter the Recorders jurisdic-
ton is confined to the limits of the
corporation. And this would be true
whether the charter so stated or not.
One of the reasons for allowing the
carnival to show within was that we
would be able to police it.
The mayor has given us no credit
for a kindness in bringing it near to
him where he could look after it with
less physical exertion, saving him
long and tiresome walk to the Rush
field. We cut the distance half in
two, thereby giving him better oppor-
tunity to keep tab on the concessions.
In closing we will say that we would
not resort to the press again had it
not been for some statements in the
mayors article that were wholly mis-
leading. All that we desire is that
the facts pertaining to the whole mat
ter be presented to me people OF
Greeneville. We tried to give them
in the first article, and we are giving
them in this one. We refer any per-
son to the policemen, the Recorder or
Mr.. Friedman.
We did not believe at the time
the mayors first article appeared, nor
do we believe now that controversies
over matters like the one in question
ever amount to anything. But we
felt duty bound to present cur side
of the case.
We will say in closing tl.at we are
for the building up Of the town in
every way possible. We will carry
no animus with us into The office
which we fill, and will do our best
at all times to pass upon the ques-
tions which come before us with as
good judgment as possible. We may
make mistakes, but at the same time
upon all questions both moral and po-
iliticaI, where there may be conflicts
of opinion or differences In judgment,
we will not surrender our individual
beliefs after we have consciontiously
arrived at conclusion And we ask
of no one else TO do this

 remember that there are not clothes enough in the world to take care of peo- pie.
 "'One of our old customers came to me the other day and said: MT. Cresap, am sick,'' and I really thought he was physically i'll. but I learned that he was distressed because customers were go ing out of his store without Hart, SchAff- ner & Marx clothes. I asked him how much business he was doing, and he said he had had the biggest day in his ca reer on the previous Saturday, so you see after all it is not all wormwood and gan. I told him I hoped the condition | he was in, that is of having such . business that he could not supply it
  would continue all the rest of his life. ".Also, I have received a clipping con-
 taining picture of yourself and an nouncing to the public your intention tc lincorporate your business. l am delight ed to see such a laudatory article com corning this Your life Of acnievemen l in birmingham has naturally brought you honor. but it is pleasure to know thA' I this is recognized by your fellow citizens and given prominence in the pubic press

 Through the skelly oil compar ss s15, ,0O0000 corporation with officss un Tulsa, Okla, and handling giganiie ae eratons in many of the larger fields the Alabama Bound Oil and Gas company have secured without cost an agreed ex- penditure of sl25,O0o for drilling and equipping two deep test wells on 80 acres of it's Oklahoma property said Mr. Ed mundson.
 The successful bringing in of one of, both of these wells will mean the iril- mediate drilling of six other wells on the same terms and on the same tract by the Skely Oil company. A similar con tract, but which is said to be more ad- yantageous to stockholders of the Ala bama company, is pending on another 80 acres in the Cushing field which will be handled by another development com pany.
 While MT Green is visiting the homo office a statement of the operations to date will be prepared and sent to all stockholders. We feel that this report will meet with the approval of the in- vestors in our company since with very limited safe of stock in small capital ization the management has by 1udi- cicus trading been able to increase the value of it's stock many times without risk.
 "The operations have been retarded by the coal strike and much rainy weather. but notwithstanding optimism exists in the Texas oil fields, and no temporary inconvenience can materially check the wonderful and tremendous developments. We closed our stock books several weeTs ago as no further issuance was nece$ sary on account of the advantageous off fer of development by heavily financial organizations willing and anxious to as- sume the irslx for percentage of the pro duction. l have brought back some very
 interesting photographs for exhibition among the stockholders"
