Some people scoff at Fash
ion ; others are slavish in their
obedience to her mandates.
Both go to extremes. There
was a philosopher who lived
itt a tub. and he was proud of
his residence. He may have
been right, but it is true all the
same, that personal appearance
counts for a good deal, and it’s
just as well to look well if you
can. There never is anything
the matter with the personal c» ..cciveU the c.mtwct

and they are going to tay so. They feel
aggrieved, and they are going to say to.
And they are going to tay many other
little tblnge, and aay them atrongly, If
their minds don’t change before the
meeting.
The members of the board are Messrs.
John McDonald, C. C. Sheppard, X. F.
Markett, James E. Hats and Randolph
Battle.
The last grand jury put Mr. M. O.
Bell in Mr. Mnvkett's place, but Mr.
Markett will be at tbo next meeting of
the board.
It’s a very interesting contest, and the
board of education is surely going to
take some sort of action in the matter.

with strong condemnations.

the matter so far, but there has been a

And If signs count for anything, there
is going to be some spicy official action
taken.
The county board of education think
they have not been treated right. In
fact, they are aura they have not. They
havn't had a meeting since the grand
jury presentments were published, but
they are going to meet today or tomor
row, aad they are going to express them
selves on the subject.
The members of this board will not
state what they are going to do, bnt it is
generally understood that In the first
place they are not going to follow the
reeomendation of the grand jury.
Then It is said they are going to (bow

stated that they did not carefully exam

aoms of that body have said since the

not know what books were lo use In the
county. Then there are many other

Th* members of .be board ar* wrought

formation about the matter, and the
jury did its work without bearing them

Into the question as deeply aa they did,
that they knew soma thing* about It
that the grand jury could not or did not
ascertain in the short time that busy

think their work ought to count for
something, and they are going to say so.
They think they know more about the
books and who should get the contract.

Ui'kna Vista, July 20.—[Special.]—
Tlie iinterrlllrd democracy of Marion
county mot In miss meeting today in
Buena Vista to determine in what man
ner the candidates for the different
state and county offices shall be (elected
and alto to outline the plan of action to
retain control of tbe < state and county
government in tbe hands of the demo
cratic party.
Tlie meeting was not only large and
enthusiastic, but was made up of mate
rial whose pmmlsee to deliver Marion
County to tire democrats this fall may
he relied up-w. The tumors which had
gone forth that the third party would
rule Marlon county evidently did aoteet
graciously ou the faces of the earnest
and determined democrats who a*sera
bled today to announce themselves. As
soon u the meeting was organised
resolution waa introduced splinting
August 4th os the day for nominating
the candidates fur state ud county offi
ces. The resolution further sets forth
that all democrats, and also all who era
opposed to government ownership of
railroads, telsgnph lines ud all other
obnoxious measures embraced in tbe
platform of the third party should be
eligible and ware Invited to participate
in tbs nomination.
Th* resolution wu passed unanimous
ly and after other details were arranged
for, Mr. W. B. Short, tbe present clerk
2, the euperior court, wu asked to ad-
dress the meeting. Mr. Shqrt le a fair
and shining example of Marion’s unter-
rifled democracy who has been Invited
to either squsrly align himialf on the
third party lines orb* ousted from bis
office by one who would. To this do*
mend Mr. Short replied today, ud In
bis own forelble way explained the inner
movement and underground spring of
tbe third party. His. arguments ware
so pointed, his reuonlng so logical and
bis excoriation of tbe third party ao ve
hement that bo completely oaptlvated
bis audience nml administered an ever*
lasting black eye to tblrd partylam in
Marion aounty
The most tailing fores of Mr. Short'
speech wu the effect it bad upon tb*
colored element In the sudleece, many
of whom acknowledged to being com
pletely convinced that If the colored
people of the sou'h could not get their
rights with their home white people
that thay could never get them, u their
interest* were identical.
Mr. Short's speech today will land
him In tb* house of representatives.
