CHAS. F, COLE FOR STATE SENATOR
Republican.' Hold Senatorial Con
vention and Nominate Can
didate For the Senate
At a meeting of the Republican
senatorial convention held at Rates
ville Thursday of la^t week, Hon.
Chas. F. Cole of B&tesville was
nominated for state senator.
Owing to the split among the
Democrats over the nomination of
a candidate for state senator, Mr.
Cole stands a good show to be
elected, unless the Democrats can
settle their differences and unite
upon some one man to make the
race.
The district is reliably Demo
cratic, and even in the election of
two years ago, when there was
some defection, the Democratic
nominee for governor received 1,
JSS3 votes is Independence and
JStone counties, against 1,590 for
the Republican nominee. In the
congressional election in ’1904
Brundidge, Democrat received 1,
455 votes in the two counties
against R97 for Tucker, Republi
can.

WILL PARDON ELECTION OFFICERS
Governor Davis Will Pardon Judg
es Who Turn Down Voters
W'ithout Poll Tax Receipt
The Democratic state central
committee says that a voter must
show that he has paid his poll tax
before he can vote in the general
i election in September and the con
gressional election in November,
i The Republican state central
committee holds that while the law
requires the payment of a poll tax,
the payment of such tax is not a
perquisite to voting and F. W.
Tucker, chairman of the Republi
can state central committee, has is
sued a circular to the judges and
clerks of election, county election
commissioners and voters, inform
ing them that the only qualitica
tion for voting is that the voter
shall be a male adult, native born
| or having declared his intention to
I be naturalized, having resided in
the state one year, in the county
six months and in the precinct one
month The Republicans are mak
ing a strong effort to carry the
Third and Fourth congressional
districts. Two years ago the Demo
| cratic majority in the Third dis
trict was only 1,172. In the
Fourth district the majority was
2,957. By permitting every one
to vote who has not paid a poll
I tax the Republicans claim they
can carry both of these districts.
In his circular sent out Mr.
Tucker warns the election officers
that to refuse to allow a man to
vote on the ground that he has not
oaid his poll tax incurs severe pen
alties under the state and national
laws. In reply to this statement
of Mr. Tucker’s, Governor Davis
has issued a statement announcing
that he will pardon any and all
election officers who may be con
victed of violating the law by bar
ring the votes of persons who have
not paid poll taxes, at the state
and county elections on the tirst
Monday in September. Gov. Da
vis upholds the view of the Demo
cratic state committee that the poll
tax amendment to the constitution
is valid, as it has not been passed
upon directly by the supreme
court. The governor also points
out the fact that a federal judge
having declared the polltax amend
ment void has no effect on the state
and county election in November.
Governor Davis adds: “I urge
the election judges throughout the
state to see to it that this Republi
can machine shall not deter them
from doing their duty and uphold
ing the law, and I beg to advise
Mr. Tucker and his crowd that I
will be governor of this state until
the lsth day of January, 1907,
and I will see to it that no election
| judge is punished by the criminal
| courts of this state for refusing to
allow any qualified elector to vote
who does not furnish satisfactory
proof of having paid his poll tax,
and if such a thing is attempted I
will pardon the election judges as
fast as they are convicted.”
BRAIN LEAKS.
(Prom Bryan’s Commoner:)
Truth concealed gives a lie the
right of way.
Successful business men leave
| business cares at the office.
Men who have followed the
beaten track usually end up with
out accomplishing much that is
worth while.
W hen a man starts after some
thing he usually finds it coming to
meet him. If he waits for it he
usually sees it fading away.
If you are so absorbed in your
business that you never think of a
day in the woods, it is a sign that
you are a money worshipper and
guilty of the grossest form of
idolatry.
FARMER SLAIN BY UNKNOWN PARTY
John Mammons Shot Down in His
Field Near Alicia For Pur
pose of Robbery
Alicia, Aug. 10.—John Ham
mons, whose home was two miles
east of this place, was found dead
in a field on his farm with a
bullet hole in his back.
The only explanation for the as
sassination is robbery, as about $5
which he was known to have had
in his pocket when he left home
was missing when the body was
found. So far as known he had no
enemies, and there is no clue to
the identity of the murderer.
Hammons left his home in the
morning to look over the crops on
his farm. Up to the noon hour
he had not returned, and search
was made for him. At the place
where the body was found there is
considerable open ground, altho
the assassin, it is thought, was in
a thicket nearby when the shot
was tired. Death must have been
almost instantaneous, and the mur
dered man probably never knew
who tired the fatal shot.
FATAL FAMILY QUARREL
Green Forrest, Aug. 11.—Den
| ton Baker shot and instantly kill
ed his father-in law, Houston
Breeding, late yesterday afternoon
at Denver, ten miles east of here.
Baker at once surrendered and
was taken to the Berryville jail
last night. There had been trouble
between Baker and his wife, and
the parties all met at Denver yes
terday and Baker wanted to as
sist his wife in carrying the baby
home. Breeding objected. Hot
words ensued, when Baker drew
his pistol and shot Breeding dead
where he was standing in the store
door.
