"I charge the A&P Tea company in this town and in every other town . as being a monopoly," declared McKinley Edwards, Bryson City at torney, at an anti-chain store meet ing sponsored by the home merchants .of Macon county at the court house on Wednesday evening, , "The A&P cares nothing for the wefare or prosperity of the people x of Macon county asserted Mr.; Ed wards. "The home merchants stood by you in all the years of the past and made" the town what it is. He: charged the A&P beans were "one-third water" "The A&P is not helping the in stitutions of the state. It is nit helping the town one dollar. It is not paying any taxes in the town to amount to anything. We are inter , ested in the welfare of our children. Public schools must be supported by taxes on property. The A&P . slips into town and buys not one foot of property. It empties its shelves on the day that taxes are to be given in." . Mr. Edwards charged the- A&P of giving in only $1892 in Swain county last year in taxable property, and paying only about $45 in taxes. ' He pointed, out that the A&P takes in from $100 to $200 ' a ' day in Frank lin, "but they won't even bank that ' money in town 24 hours." ( "If it does not bring m as much as it takes out it is a detriment to the community; ..It is a cold-blooded cor poration. . .It gives no credit in times of ' adversity. . .It helps build no roads." . A Mr. Fredrick, representing the Union Flour mills of Oklahoma, also spoke, and asserted that organization was the only way to rid he town ' of a chain store. He declared that mail order concerrts are as detrimental to dry 'goods merchants as chain vrnrerv stores are to erocerymen: Major S, A. Harris charged that not a brick had been laid on a new -building since the A&P came to Franklin. ' He fcaid thatstore rooms were vacant in town, but that one could hafdly be rented before A&P , ' came. . ' ' j Andy Reid called upon the mer chants to organize and use the local paper as a mouthpiece against A&P. An organization is to be formed on Friday, Feb. 21, at-Franklin Hotel and Restaurant to fight the A&P. announce Weimer Hasting, Andy Reid, and W. C. Cunningham.

Now if the leaders of the Demo crat party were objecting to. some legislation that Senator Simmons had helped pass I should not say a woid, but it is a mistake to chastise him for being a free man and exercising his God:given and state-given privih ege. It is evident that from 60,000 to 90,000 Democratic voters the last elec tion believed as Senator Simmons and voted accordingly, judging by past elections in the state. ; -A democracy . is. where the people rule.

Again Thou hast set us clear and safe in a new hope, and in a new prospect. Anchor our purest thoughts and the very souls of our moral be ings, Imperative labor is ours. It is the spirit of the heroic that gilds the soul and gives it worth ; let it not prove too hard ; in it may we lift up our heads and consider our' permanent heritage. We pray that law and or der, duty and restraint, obedience and discipline with our fellow citizens may make secure the fundamentals of our government. Amen. it had not been for one corrupt vote in the United States senate Senator Newberry's. Now if . Senator Simmons is to be jv chastized .for his stand in the last election do you think that the men and women that believed as he did will stand bv and not protest. Do you think . the men and women that believed as Senatorv Simmons were against any candidate would not 'make his knees quake. - ' Now I have not said a word against Mr. Baily. But I do say you can not get harmony by kicking Senator Simmons. It is liable v to turn a Republican into the U. S. Senate for the next six years something I would not like to see. I think every voter should place right" and duty above party. It is . the only safety for the nation. For harmony let the last, election be forgotten for as 'good Democrats voted, one.-way Jas jthe, other. Yours truly, ' ' D. J. MOSES. ! '..-.". I --"' : - TRADE WITH THE HOME BOYS!
