Considerable
Interest In
Flee ion Today

Considerable interest is manifested
In the election being held today, 1896
votes having been cast up to 4:30 this
afternoon. What the outcome viii:
be is, of course, matter of specula-
ton only, which can not be decided
until the ballot is counted. The op-
position to the proposition has run
in a number of negro voters, rather to
the surprise Of the progressives, who
did not expect he colored vote to be
a factor, and, who would prefer de-
feat to such tactics. In fact, almost
anything goes at the polls, manv TAX
ing part in the election whose eligi-
bility is decidedly questionable.
The campaign OF Misrepresentation
with which the proposition has been
fought since its inception is being
steadily waged today, and many per
sons have voted against the building
because they were told 1t would in
crease their taxes, or would ruin"
the Park, or any Of the other mis-
leading tales that have been used to
defeat the proposition, despite the
fact that all of these stories have
been proven untrue.
It is probable that as many as 600
votes will be cast by the time the
polls close. which will be at sun
down, or about 7:45.

1HRFF CHEERS
FOR J. v. BRYANT
GIVEN BY THE
U. c. VS.

At the meeting of the Confederate
Veterans on the Goth inst, when the
resolution in regard to the restriction
OF marriage was under discussion.
Comrade Eppes Tucker, ST., among
other things, said: Commander,
the act Of 1917, chapter 1853, pro
vided as follows: No pension will be
allowed to any widow whose marriage
was subsequent to June /, 1917"
that was a reflection upon the good
sense and sound judgment OF the
Veterans and an unwarranted fling a.:
any good woman who might c>nsen,
to become the companion Of one Of
these Veterans at time of life when
they most need the companionship
and help Of beloved womanhood. And
cir, there are other considerations
that stir my objections. Why, SIR
we have in this camp comrade, Hon.
John Wesley Bryant, who some three
years ago married and now his home
is blessed by one Of the sweetest and
prettiest little girls In the whole
world and thereby many years Of hap.
piness Is added to his useful life. ST.,
I regard the stock and the blood OF
our Confederate Veterans as the finest
strain of patriotism and loyalty to
the constitution and flag Of our great
country that this century affords. In
the Spanish-American war they were
found where valor was needed and
our sons proved themselves soldiers
without a flaw; and in the great
world war with the Central Powers
Of Europe now Fastening to It's close,
cur grandsons have made record
OF which every true American is
proud. Let no stumbling block be
, cast IN the wav TO ohstruct the trans
mission ard perpetuauon or the Dlood
OF the Confederate Veterans. I glory
IN them. why, sir. in considering
this resolution thoueht OF this lit
