Bell Sweeps The District Losing Only Two Counties.
McMillan Re-Elected Solicitor-General
King Wins For Representative
The people of the Ninth Con
gre«sionul District have again put
the stamp of approval upon the life
and action of Hon. Thos. M. Bell

has so faithfully rendered them (the
laboring and agricultural classes)
in the halls of the United States
Congress, in their district and in
their homes.
Despite the desperate effort that
has been made to defeat him in this
campaign, the people have stood
like a mountain of stone against
the shower of argument and force
of-the opposition by their true and
worthy servant.
Sixteen of the eighteen counties
in the district Mr.Bell has received

Col. Charters Addresses
Large Audience,
Col. W. A. Charters, candidate
for congress, addressed an audience
in the court-house Monday. His
audience consisted of ladies and
gentlemen to very near the seating
capacity of the court-room, and
during his entire address which
consumed about one and one-half
to two hours he was given a per¬
fectly orderly hearing. A few of
Ids remarks were received with
some applause. lie dealt with the
record of the present incumbent
much the same as he has done all
over the district, except that if he
inferred in strong terms at other
places that Mr. Hell’s purpose is to
deceive to people, as is claimed up¬
on good authority that he did, he
omitted that part of his speech in
delivering it in Cleveland.
At the close of the speaking a
melon cutting was given by Mr.
Charters friends and one by Mr.
Bell’s friends. Those who attend¬
ed the Bell treat far outnumbered
those attending Mr. Charters feast.

Nation Facing Meat Famine.
Economic experts of the federal
government are giving the high
cost of living problem thoughtful
consideration, and are investigat¬
ing the high prices of meat. The
Department of Agriculture has just
completed a census of the meat
producing animals of the United
States and finds that there has been
a decrease of 4,183,000 head and
an increase of $176,530,000 in value
during the past year. On January
1, 1914, the herd numbered 144,-
507,000, compared with 148,690,
000 head a year ago.
The bulk of the nation’s decreas¬
ed meat supply is in the swine herd
Compared with last year the numb¬
er of hogs in the United States has
j diminished 2,185,000 and sheep head 1,763,000 ; cattle
j 175,000 head,
| head. The major portion of the
increase! values is credited to the
| beef animals. The value of all
j cattle, including milch cows, when
] compared with last year, shows an
increase of $166,688,000; swine
have gained $9,842,000 in value,
while sheep have depreciated
$1,476,000.
A PEREECT CATHARTIC
There is sure and wholesome
| action in every dose of Foley Ca¬
thartic Tablets. They cleanse
never a gripe or pain. Chronic
| cases of constipation find them in
! valuable. Stout people are relieved
| of that bloated, congested feeling,
: so uncomfortable especially in hot
weather, They keep your liver
busy.

Bond Election To Be Held
For School Building.
Commencing with this issue of
the Courier appears an advertise¬
ment which will run for a month,
announcing that there will be held
September 22, 1914, an election to
determine whether Cleveland
School District shall issue bonds
not exceeding $10,000 to build on
the present site a suitable brick
school building.
The trustees have acted in favor
of the election in response to a
petition from the patrons of the
school asking for an election. •
The intelligence of all countries
depends upon the interest taken by
the inhabitants of that country in
schools. And upon the progress
of a community, state or nation de¬
pends its intelligence.
Do you ever feel a lack of under¬
standing (intelligence) when read¬
ing of measures pertaining to gov¬
ernmental policies, and because of
this obstacle which blinds our view
we fail often to vote intelligently,
and we might well be termed
blind leaders of the blind.
When* the time comes, as it must
do, when country people are as
well educated as the inhabitants of
the cities, the country people will
hold the keys of all branches of
govarnment in their hands, and
they will use them to the chagrin
of the idle rich who saps the life¬
blood of the country as the leech
does its prey, and the prosperity
of the great cities gradually become
broader within their own sphere
penetrate the country that supports
them.

of money on his own account.

lets at their own feet..”
