North Vernon Still claims they have won the County Seat Election. The recount commission appointed by Judge J. R. Carney, completed their work last Friday night, and the result shows that North Vernoa is 70 short of the 90 per cent as required by law. Oa page 910 of the Acts of 1993 of the General assembly of Indiana the law reads: "If at least sixty per cent of all the votes cast at said election be in favor of such relocotion. The recoudt board shows ihat a total vote of 3680 was cast of which 213S were in favor of said relocation. The number required to make the sixty per cent is 3208 votes, then why do these removalists at North Vernon contend they have won? It is said they contend they have won 60 percent of the leg-al votes cast, this may and may not be true. The legality of the voters were not passed upon by the recount Commission. It is a fact that they did count the votes that were cast as they were ordered to do. There is evidence to show that votes were cast that could not be counted on account of the law prohibit infr their so doing;, This docs not say that the vote was ilteg-al nor it does not fig-ure in the sixty per cent. It further appears that the North Vernon removalists do not know when they are beaten
eUe they do not want to concede it is true. The recount is only one part oi the Contest proceeding- that is still penning and before the court. The so called North Vernon removalist attonneys think they have closed the contest But before they get out of it they will look like a dimes'-worth of stale cheese. It is said that the paymaster that dealt out the money for the absent votes they lost by reason of bad clerks in two of the Precincts in North Vernon. He is getting1 the same disease the rest of the fellows have in North Vernon anh by the time a few more months of this continues the few that remain will be no more. The one thing- paramount in the whole affair is the North Vernon crew has discovered that a few more men than are clustered up in Vernon are after them, and is said that the tax payers will not be satisfied with anything short of prosecution of this affair to the limit. There will be prcachluR service I the M. E. Church next Sunday at 10:30 and alto at 7 P. M. L. King' Tastor. FOR SALE 1 Horse Mule Colt. Val J. Biehle, H-Vernon, R .R.

tot U Jii ' Voyage Which Resulted in the Discovery of America Undertaken to Procure Wealth to Save Jerusalem.. History reveals' that tbe discovery of America was the work Iks' out cf an effort to recover Jerusalem. It is surprising that the one jrreat ambition of the life of Christopher Columbus, and ono of the reasons for the trip which ended in tbe discovery- of this continent, is almost unknown. This was his scheme for the liberation of Jerusalem from the yoke of the infidel Turk witk the aid of ihe wealth that he hoped to acquire through bis voyage. In his writings, his journals, his will and his pleadings to the Spanish sovereigns there has been recorded ample evidence of this great pas-ion of an adventurous and stormy life. He quoted the holy scriptures and prophecies therein to prove that he had been selected to e.ccompll?h ibis and tbat the holy sopulcher was to be returned to the Christians through him as a divine instrument. Before sailing from Palos on his first voyage to America he exacted what he believed to be a promise from the king and queen that whatever profits might accrue as a result of the adventure should be employed for the crusade.- In his journal, under the date. of December 20, 1492, we read the hope that his men find "tuns" of gold and spices "in such quantity that before three years the sovereigns will undertake to prepare to co and conquer the holy sopulcher," "that all the profits of this, my undertaking, should be spent in th conquest of Jerusalem." This pious ambition is ascribed to an Incident which occurred while the Spanish sovereigns were at war against Granada, during the siege of Raza, at which Columbus was present. While before the city two friars arrived with a message from the grand soldan of R-gypt in which the Moslem, threatened to pur to death all the Christians in his dominions and destroy the holy sepnlcher at Jerusalem if the war against the Moslems of Granada was not terminated. The indignation of Columbus was so intense at this menace that he formed resolutions that were never forgotten. That he should aspire to the recovery of the holy place was not unusual, for every Christian prince and man of power nourished this one great dream of every pious .person of the Middle Ages. On his return -from the first voyage to America he made a vow, hoping to use his portion of the-possible treasure acquired from the 'trip, to furnish within seven years am army of 4,000 horse and 50,000 foot soldiers for a crusade and a similar force within the five following 'years. This was not forgotten. Before starting on his fourth voyage ho wrote fo Pope Alexander VII mentioning his1 -vow and informing him of his sorrow at not being able to fulfill it, due to his arrest and removal from power. When his outlook was brightest many royal favors were granted Columbus. Some of the roy:U promises never matured. In a verv irrnwising in strument known as the niajonrr, dated February 22, 1-1CS, he provided for his family and disposed of the wealth that he expected would surely flow into hi coffers. He made provision tbat the one supreme ambition of his whole life be carried to its desired end. In one of the articles of the docu ment appeared the words, "Because at the time I started to go and discover the Indies it was with the intention of supplicating the king and queen, our sovereigns, that the revenue which their highnesses might have in the Indies they should determine to spend in the conquest of Jerusalem." His will provided for a crusade directed by his descendants. During the period of his disfavor, while jealous enemies were intriguing against him, he recalled that his vowremained unfulfilled. He considered it his-.xluty to arouse his sovereigns to the enterprise, to remind them that it was originally proposed ns the great object to which the profits of his discoveries should be directed. In the library of the cathedral of Seville there still exists the manuscript volume that he prepared with the aid of a friar, quoting all those passages of the Bible and in the writings of the Fathers which he conceived to contain prophecies of the discovery of the new world and the recovery of the holy sepulcher, events which he attempted to show would succeed one another and be accomplished through him as a divine agent. It Is to the land allotment holder, remarks a writer in Popular Mechanics magazine, that Great Britain is : looking for assistance in the food situation, particularly as regards the supply of potatoes. "It is planned to Increase the number of allotments from l.oOO.OOO to 2,000.000 by the next planting season. At the present time there is only r.hojt one allotment to every ten or twtiv.families, but by taking advantage of a large amount cf land that !.. i br : growing up in weeds it is h ;- t., nave tins up to one allotment f r evcry five fan There cr-', w i now, several cases where th-re I; u
