Captains B. D. Green and Jno.
F. Gaynor, who were on trial m

last week for complicity in the

Minutes of last meeting read and

finance committee, were read a second j
time and ordered paid: W..H. Smith,

j Prof. Marion and Some City Notes.
J Somewhat of a sensation was created
j by the city council Thursday night in
J passing the following resolution rela-
I tive to some notes given for school
J apparatus to the Powell Apparatus Co:
Whereas, it has been represented to
I members of the Council and current
J upon the streets of Gainesville that
I Prof. J. W. Marion, Superintendent oJ
I the Public schools of said city, has
made a deal with the Crowell Apparatus
Co., of Indianapolis, Indiana, whereby
j he came into the possession of some
j apparatus for teaching physics by
j transferring to the company some real
I estate and has sold one of: the same to
[the City of Gainesville and by authority
of the Board of Education of said City
J dated on Feb. 1, 1902, has executed two
j notes: One for the sum of one hundred
I and forty three and 3&-100 ($143.35) dpl-
I lars due on .Tune 1st, 1902; and one for
the sum of one hundred and seventy
five ($175) dollars due on June 1, 1903,
I with interest at 6 per cent after June
l ist, 1902, and
Whereas, said notes are being ha wked
upon the market and an effort made to
discount them to innocent purchasers
by the Crowell Apparatus Co. and it be
ing the desire of the Mayor and Coun-
| cil to giye Prof. Marion an opportunity
to show up this transaction m its true
light; therefore, be it resolved that
Prof. Marion he cited to appear before
the Mayor aud Council at its next regu
lar meeting to be held at the council
chamber on the 27th day of March,

form shall be. In fact, since the
action taken by the Mississippi
legislature, it is probable that the
democrats in other parts of the
country will expect the democrats
of the .south to take the lead in
that matter. It would not be sur
prising, therefore, if the south
should play the most conspicuous
part in harmonizing the democrat
ic party—should practically dic
tate the platform and name the
.presidential candidate.”
Why not? The south has for
nearly four decades quietly sub
mitted to the dictation of the de
mocrats of the east, while at the
same time they gave more support
to the democratic ticket that all
the other sections combined. If
the support of the ticket must
come from the south, it is but
right and proper that the south
should say what principles and
candidates it wishes to support.—
