Smith, candidate for school clerk, dur
ing his speech. drew from his pocket
"a poll tax receipts which he said had
been found recently in the garage Of
Albert Moore at Back Oak. Smith said
that the receipts did not belong to him
and that he would be glad to turn
them over to anyone claiming them.
Goodman Gibson, candidate for coun-
ty judge, stepped forward and claim
ed the receipts. He said he had paid
for them and had made the notation
found on them. Don't deliver until
you find out how these parties stand"
There had been charges that Homer
Howell, present tax collector and a
candidate for county clerk, and John
Lane, candidate for circuit clerk, had
been connected with the receipts. Glib

saying that they had nothing TO do
with paying for them.

to Gibson. It is said that after their
discovery at Black Oak, they were
given to the Ku Klux Klan which de-
ivered them TO Smith, alleged Klan
candidate for county clerk.

Cotter, July 23.-Strong opposition
is developing among residents of the
border counties of Missouri, which all
lie in the Ozarks, against plan to
colonize parts of the counties with
japanese. Those who oppose the col
onization plans say that if the orien-

ruin the agricultural industry of this
section.
1t seems, however, that nothing can
be done to keep them from coming If
they want to. A Springfield, (MoD

interests, says that all Of those who
contemplate moving to the Ozarks are
native born Americans. and no legisla-

being few foreigners among the resi-
dents Neither are there any negroes
