Why You Should Vote
For M. B. Sparks

Merideth b. Sparks, candidate for
County Judge, is one of the safest.
best business men in Lawrence county.
That Is exactly the kind of man the
people must have at the head OF affairs
in order to get the worth OF their
money in roads and in the economical
administration of affairs.
Taxes have been increased so heav-
lily in the last two or three years by
pushing up valuations and raising the
rate that Lawrence county people are
now paying one hundred thousand dol
lars a year in taxes. This immense
sum of the peoples hard earned money
needs steady man of courage and
excellent business judgment TO sit in
the highest place and guide and guard
its expenditure. Mr.. Sparks is that
man, He will see that II Is used to
the best advantage, and he will pub
fish every year list showing how and
where every dollar of it was spent.
This has not been done for few years
in Lawrence county. The people are
entitled to know what becomes of their
money.
Mr.. Sparks has a plan that he be-
lieyes will keep the main roads of the
county in passable condition almost IL
not entirely throughout the year. with
il any increase in taxes or any great
err expenditures than at present. The
value of such system can scarcely be
estimated and the people should well
come this opportunity with their

Dear Sirs:--Will you please print
the following letter for the benefit of
my good people in good old Lawrence
county as well as Carter and Elliott.
When was with you this command
ed you. HE that should not work and
work with a principle, should not eat
and now there is one walking among
you that is not working at ALL but is
a busy body and he calls himself a
layer He may be but it should be
spelled with small |. for when was
home among you my good people in
June | saw things existing that have
been going on for years. POLITICS,
debt every year. Mr.. W. T. Cain is a
candidate for the high office OF Com
monwealth's Attorney and In June and
September terms of court he had ca
SEES laid over that should have been
tried. In order to gain a few votes, and
you have only to search the records Of
our good Clerk To find them out, and
this thing has been practiced by this
one man for years and 1t win continue
to be a practice with him as long as
he is a candidate. and you, my good
people, should let him know with your
vote at the election next Tuesday that
you are tired of this kind OF practice,
by voting for Mr.. Fred NJ Vinson for
this high office and put a man in that
will prosecute regardless of politics or
personal feeling of any kind, and boy
Of our own county, too, for you well
know that Mr., Cain is from Martin
county and should not be compared
with man of the high record that Mr..
Fred NJ. Vinson has. N
Further II Mr.. James Adams could
be here for short time only have
an idea he would say don't vote for
Bill Cain for he Is the only man ever
reprimanded me, and then without
cause. but his spirit has flown some
years ago, and w. t. Cain is still rep
rlmanding the good people Of our coun-
ty that he is not the attorney for and
he has practiced this for years and II
looks like he is going to continue to do
So but let him get his own clients.
Don't elect him to the office of trust,
for which he asks.
Now friends | am a republican, the
same as ] ever was, but not the kind
Bill Cain is, for he is candidate for
office and will do almost anything to.
gain few votes. so get busy and elect
a real man.
Vote for Fred M. vinson next Tues
day. 4

About 1905 DR.. w. NJ Salisbury was
elected Mayor of Ashland. The city
had no street paving whatever He
tackled the big problem Of paving
those miles of wide streets. and with
characteristic energy drove the great
enterprise through. He received the
usual amount of opposition and con-
domination. The sleepy old town was
shocked and the dry bones ratified and
squeaked. but this resulted in the in
evitable awakening. She stretched
herself, yawned a few times, got her
eyes wide open, sat up and looked a.
round In a dazed sort of way She
found herself beautifully dressed up.
The town had been lifted out Of the
mud in spite of herself through the
efforts Of one vigorous. heroic and
courageous man, assisted by major
ity of the city council.
Did the outraged citizens who blind
~ fought the enterprise tear up the
streets and hurl the bricks at Sails
bury7 They did not. After season
they cooled of, turned around. and
Joined in the chorus which runs. ASH
land is the Best Paved Town in the
World. Hooray." etc.
And 1t has come to pass that DR..
Salisbury again is chosen to be the
Mayor Of Ashland, after the sober
second thought" of these years. He
has lived to receive the credit for his
great piece of work, which oftentimes
Is withheld by a tickle public until
death has softened the prejudices.

SHOE MACHINE FIGHT UP
 IN COURT

Washington, Jan. 15.-The right of machinery manufacturing companies to require purchasers through lease to use their product exclusively is in voIved in the governments suit against the United States Shoe Machinery Company. The suit is the second brought against the company under the anti-trusts act. The first, under pany was charged with maintaining a monopoly of the business of man ufacturing machines used in the mak- ing of footwear. was dismissed by the supreme court in May, 1918.
 The second suit was brought under the Clayton act and was directed against the practice of the company of prohibiting purchasers of one of in the manufacture of shoes with machines produced by any other con cerns. The company, it was alleged, accomplished this by Teasing" and uct a vital element of the lease.
 In October, 1918, the federal dis trict court in S. Louis issued a re- straining order, and later an injunc- tion, against the use of the lease clauses in future contracts. A sus- pension was sought and obtained from the circuit court pending an appeal which resulted in a verdict for the company without prejudice to the United States to later apply for an injunction upon a hearing on the merits"
 Meantime the supreme court had decided the suit brought by the gov ernment under the Sherman act in favor of the company, holding that the clauses in question were a proper exercise of the company's patent rights.
 The government at once prougn. suit under the Clayton measures and obtained a decree in May, 1920, from Judge Trieber in the district court for eastern Missouri. holding that the lease clauses tended to lessen com petition, but declaring that the Clay ton act could not be considered as effectng contracts entered upon be- fore its enactment.
 The company appealed and this suit was argued before the supreme court early in January, 1921. Counsel for the company denied that the trade practices complained of had any eff feet upon competition since shoe man ufacturers who had entered business since the company was organized had found an "open field" in which to pur. chase equipment. Many shoe manu- lecturers were quoted as testifying that they had found the exclusive use of the machinery of one company a decided benefit.
 The supreme court was asked to decide. the company's brief said. whether congress had the power to pass laws retroactive in effect and which regulated what was in fact a trade rule adopted by a company in the lawful conduct of it's business.

NEW HAVEN TO DROP VICE
 WORK

New Haven-General Manager c. IL. Bardo. of the New York, New Hav- en and Hartford Railroad said today that no identification was contemplat- . identification completed recently in the Cedar Hill freight yard has ter minated present work in that line of energy. It was installed in the New York receiving part of the yard and the New York departure yard. The Maybrook departure yard had not been electrified and was not to be for some time, at least
 lately some 400 miles of electrifica- ton on it's extension toward the west Railroad men in New York and New Haven say that they fail to see how trify at present. Expenses of the change are high at any time. At this time many roads are savin all ex- pense possible.
 MT Bardo said that between Forty second street and Woodlawn the trains on his road run on electrifica- tion of the New York Central road. From Woodlawn to New Haven they line. At New Haven locomotives are changed. The electrical locomotives give place to steam.
 Engineers running the electrical were originally steam engineers and they were especially trained for the electrical work.
 Work on the identification at Wood lawn was begun in 1908 and contin- ued to Stamford. After an interval it was extended to New Haven, which it reached about 1915. War work and the later era of uncertainty in terrupted identification and resump- ton to extend it either east or north from New Haven is a matter of doubt.
 MT. Bardo declined to give any opinion as to either merits or alleged demerits of identification. He said that some of the engineers favored electricity and some steam.
