COUNTY CAMPAIGN
CLOSES TONIGHT
With Speaking At Court House
—Interest Widespread Over
County In Result.
The county campaign closes
tonight with the candidates in
■ Union township making their
final appeal to the voters. The
'speaking opens at 7 p. m., after
| the candidates and crowd have
partaken of the supper to be ser
| ved at the court house by the la
dies of the Baptist church.
, Aside from the interest taken
in the race for Senator, between
Clarke and Kirby, and the con
test for railroad commissioner,
j congressman and prosecuting at
torney, great interest is report
ed from all parts of the county
in the results for sheriff, county
judge, representative, treasur
er, school superintendent and
coroner, for each of which of
i fices there has been a warm cam
'paign.
me voters ana people 01 inis
township are particularly in
vited to hear the candidates
present their claims for nomina
tion at the court house tonight.
Secretary Leon Mack of the
county committee early last
week sent by parcels post to each
of the thirty-three precincts of

To the Voters of Jackson Co.
A false rumor has been in cir
culation on the streets of New
port this morning, that I, this
mox*ning, withdrew from the
race for county judge in favor
I of John A. Melville. I have tried
to locate the author of this false
'and malicious report but have
been unable to learn his or their
name. This rumor is untrue
and false. It was made by some
designing person or persons to
injure me, because he or they
knew I am the leading candidate
for county judge and they wish
ed to injure me. He or they real
ize the defeat of their candidate
and resort to this political false
hood to bolster up the lost cause
of his or their candidate or can
didates for county judge and in
jure me. I have never intimated
to any one any idea of with
drawing from this race. I have
in my possession many letters
from various parts of this coun
ty that I am the leading candi
date for county judge. The ru
mor that I have withdrawn from
the race for county judge is un
true and false and has been de
signedly made by some one to
injure me, and bolster up the
lost race of his or their candi
date for county judge. I am in
this race until the vote is cast
and counted March 25th, 1914,
regardless of this or any other
false rumor to the contrary.

THE IDOLS OF THE SOUTH.
Coirfederate Veterans’ Reunion
In Two Reels
In addition to our regular pro

Tuesday evening, March 24, we
will present “The Idols of The
South”, in two reels—taken al

s The Issue of Tomorrow
Hr? Jackson County faces t omorrow the biggest problem of
the future in being called upon to discard a system that
has retarded the material, intellectual and moral
growth of her people and held hidden and unreclaimed
the rich resources of this fair county- Will we discard
the impassable roads of the past and build highways in
the future? This is the issue. Meet it NOW.
$216,000 wasted in the past twelve years under the
present system, the time to stop this squandering of our
taxes is NOW, when you are offered a system to take its
place. A system that proposes to build 193 miles of ma
pip. cadam roadway intersecting every township in Jackson
County and build it r.ow under contract for this, the '
present generation [up
We will spend $673 000 in 20 years upon our roads
under the present system if valuations increase in the
„ next twenty years as they have in the past. We will ^
spend it and that is all. Under the proposed improve- jynj
ment district, that you are to vote for or against to- j^,p
GjJjg morrow, the cost of a system of roads will be borne by ^rO
Brea 300,000 acres within the district and the real property
of the railroads, cities and towns. The lands are as- ^
sessed at $2,589,427, the railroads, cities and towns $2,- ^
534,524. It is almost an even division, which means sru
that wherever the lands are taxed one dollar, the rail- ijfi
roads, cities and towns will come forward with another ^
dollar. It means an average tax per acre of 11 cents
per year upon twenty year bonds accounting for both
nj= principal, interest and all other administration ex- ^nl
3:11 penses. an)
^ The citizens and voters of Newport are overwhelm- ^
[yffl ingly fo rthis improve ment district. They are against jycj
jUEj the old system of waste through politics and for the ^
jy= new system of economy, through business management,
They want Jackson County to grow and be prosperous; ^
HHi they want conditions of farm life improved and the ^
^ people to get the benefits of roads they pay for; they jy^j
[HFj have no hope under the old method, but confidence in ^
the new.

IsHi morrow, to make certain the victory of progress over ^
^ indifference, stagnation, neglect and decay, be a work- ^
[ue er. See that every vote is cast intelligently upon this ^
issue that determines whether we step forward or
a™ stand still. Remember that the fight for good roads in Su
isfij Jackson County, the reclaiming of our waste lands, the
^ increase of production and wealth, more comfortable, |UEj
healthier and happier people upon the farms, the com
HP mercial growth of our cities and towns,—are all at

cHi last vote is cast. Hai
