Dan Link of Auburn, and a member of the state tax commission, is urging a law that will regulate the conduct of gypsies to such an extent that it will keep them from the state. In Virginia a tax levy of S2OO for each 'band of gypsies or other strolling fortune tellers, is levied and it is probable that they are not bothered much. ■ Practically every state officer will I come to Decatur on Wednesday of Old Home Week, and it is needless to . say that they will be well received and j entertained They are a bunch of good fellows as well as competent officers and this city should be proud of the opportunity to greet them on ' this greatest occasion in our history. | -. ■ I Senator Thomas &.

One is to set up the rule of justice and of right in such matters as the tariff, the regulation of the trusts and the prevention of monopoly, the adaptation of our banking and currency laws to the varied uses to which our people must put them, the treatment of those who daily labor in our factories and mines and throughout all our great industrial and commercial undertakings, and the political life of the people of the Philippines, or whom we hold governmental power in trust, for their service not our own. The other, the additional duty, is the great task of protecting our people r.nd our resources and of keeping open to the e, hole people the doors of opportunity through which they must, generation by generation, pass if they are to make conquest of their fortunes in health, in freedom, in peace, and in contentment. We need no revolution; we need no excited change; we need only a new point of view and a new method and spirit of counsel. —Woodrow Wilson.

What8 ever your objections may be, they are 0 folish, because they do no good. The s law was necessary because of illegal ® voting in various parts of the state, ° and was made to protect the vote of Q the man who has a right to vote, „ while it prevents that man from vot- '> ing who has no legal right to do so. You ought to be. proud of the right and you ought to fight for it instead ot » having to be coaxed. Don’t let any j one keep you from registering if you have the right. That's the way to , look at it. If you have registered ,it . ' is your duty to help get the other - ! fellow who has not, to do so. Find - ' out who has and who hasn’t, and ask I them to register on October 7th It's • important. It's your last chance. • I COURT HOUSE NEWS . . i Trial of John Mackey is in Progress—-Ed Tobin Giv- | en His Sentence. — I I TO STATE'S PRISON He Will be Taken Tomorrow—New Case Filed— Marriage Licenses. * The court today passed sentence upon Ed Tobin, who was found guilty by the jury of assault with criminal inI tent, upon I lorence Counts.
