; Richmond dump last weeic The sheriff says one thing he aocomplished -was the collection of a board bill in real cash, something the carnival people rarely see and quickly part with. At midnight, he was notlfled that a boarding house keeper on ' Richmond Avenue near Second street iit had royally kept the carnival fat lady.

in oraer 10 mamuin mo uj J pois, Manager Backenstoe guaranteed the board bill and the boarding bouse keeper saw that the carnival attraction was free from care and worry and i was properly fed. ! Pays Up Debt. Backenstoe was located at almost 2 o'clock in the morning and after assuring everybody he would pay everything some day, slipped away but was . caught again and placed under arrest. He finally produced an aged member of the carnival company who loaned ' him $11 in nickles and dimes. Nine dollars went for the board bill, one dollar for vegetables, and Backenstoe kept the remainder. The sheriff and his deputies attached the Plantation show, ticket stands, tents and many other parts of the carnival outfit. This was done in satisfac- : tion of a suit filed by Raleigh Flour- .. ney, owner of one of the side shows.

who declared the carnival management owes him $770.

POLITICAL DOODLED COMMITS TREASON HOLDS REV. STOLALL "The worst treason that our land has known has been that of the political corruptlonist, who has prostituted the ballot for the sake of personal or business or partisan advantage." This was one of the stirring sentiments in a Fourth of July sermon delivered by the Rev. W. O. Stovall at the First Baptist church yesterday. . "I am not forgetful of the days of secession when men sought to tear the country into pieces, and fired on the flag. But thebe were avowed enemies who came out In the open and fought man to man to accomplish their purpose. And all that they did or could do to the flag but made Us friends more proud of it. But ithe political corruptionlst strikes at the very pillars of our democracy. "He does not declare his intention of tearing the country In two. but without thinking or caring what becomes of the country he selfishly applies the corrosive agents of political corruption to the very foundations of the republic. He does not come out in the open and declare himself an enemy of the flag, but he trails it in the mud of graft and Immorality, and when be had finished, had no real patriot stopped him. it would not have been an object of pride but of contempt. "I am glad that men and women of character and determination have risen up and hurled consternation into the camp of such traitors. For that is what they are. If you know of a man who is aiding or condoning any political crookedness in this city or county or state or nation, you had better go to him and tell him that he is not Just ordinarily dishonest, but along with his dishonesty he Is a traitor. When Terre Haute sent a trainload of that kind of men to Ft. Leavenworth prison she got rid of a more dangerous lot of men than If she had sent a trainload of low-browed thieves and thugs to Michigan City."
