Still when an election was asked for by petition to bond the Milligan precinct, he voted for it. Well, some fellow says, “there is not very much in what some people say, no way;” which we agree. ********** If there is any significances in what people say, write and talk about, The News hit on a popular cord in its reply to what the Milligan Journal had to say about the county commissioners staying off the county seat election till March 6th, 1917.

Catts by the Pensacola Journal, and its editorial of last Tuesday preaching social equality “between the whites and blacks,” here in the South are par value. Show us a “sure-enough” Southern Democrat who believes in social equality with negroes and we will show you one darn fool and a man who is against Catts. Just one more year without changing its present editorial policy and the Journal will be as dead politically as is W.V.

He says that Okaloosa and all the balance of the counties of West Florida are practically solid for the DeFuniak man and among his supporters are many men who formerly were Knott men, but who have changed on account of the manner in which ballots have been juggled in many counties.—Pensacola News. ********** J.W.

We know the truth of the above epigram; buying cheap good to save money is like stopping the clock to save time. We will continue to buy the same meritorious merchandise we have always sold, and will do all in our power to hold the price to the lowest possible basis, but we will not lower the standard of our goods in order to lower the price. Merchandise in our stores is worth what we ask. It it’s new and higher in price than formerly, it’s because of conditions beyond our control, but always worth what we ask; if it’s old and has depreciated in value, we mark it down to what it’s worth. It it’s an article where style is all important you can stake your last dollar that our interpretation of the style is correct. To sum it all up; if you buy here, the price is right, and the same price to everybody; and first of all the quality is right; and the style is right. C. H. Griffith, ********** <> Notice is hereby given that the Board of County Commissioners of Okaloosa County, Florida, at a regular meeting held on August 9th and 10th, 1916, for the purpose of revising and equalizing the assessment roll for the year A.D. 1916, ordered the Tax Assessor to make the following changes in the values so fixed by him.

In his efforts to justify his contest of the June primary election, W.V. Knott has stated: “And it was Mr. Catts who instituted the first mandamus suit in But those are not the facts. A writer to the Tampa Tribune who has all the particulars of the transaction states the case in this wise: “When the inspectors at Alachan precinct No. 3 made their returns they failed to sign them up properly and Mr. Knott’s attorneys, W.E. Baker and T.W. Fielding filed a protest on the ground of a technicality and caused the vote for governor which gave Mr. Catts a majority to be thrown out, and the part that Mr. Catts took in the affair was that his attorneys, Williams & Hardee, appeared to keep this vote from being thrown out as asked by Mr. Knott’s attorneys.” “Now we will take it for granted that it was well pleasing to the people for them to do that; but we must remember that the inspectors at Bland, High Springs, and Gainesville No. 7 made the same error that was made at Alachua and while they gave Mr. Knott a majority no one had asked that the vote for governor be thrown out, as was done at Alachua..” Of course, the inspectors at Bland, High Springs, Micanapy and Gainesville No. 7 must have been told of the error, because they hurried over to “Now, Alachua has telephone and telegraph connections with “No one objects to being put in the same position with his fellows, but who will agree that it is equitable or democratic to show a favor to Mr. Knott that could not be shown to Mr. Catts?” “If it is a sin to ask for that which is yours, then Mr. Catts’ attorneys did wrong in asking that the vote at Alachua be restored.” From the beginning of his candidacy, however, Mr. Catts has been dealt with unfairly. He is so entirely outside the rings of But fair minded newspapers in the state should see to it that misstatements like the one on which the Tampa Tribune’s article is based do not go uncorrected.—Miami Metropolis. ********** Base Ball Game Last Saturday afternoon Laurel Hill and Magnolia played the long looked for game of ball.
