COUNCILMAN SPOONAMORE DISCUSSES SEWER SYSTEM By invitation of the editor, under discussion of the sewerage system by property owners and as an individual member of the City Council (the council has selected the Mayor to answer for them the criticism of their action in this' matter), 1 wish to inform the citizens of Stanford that the City Council has not acted hastily or secretly on the proposed sewerage system or any other Government project to make "Stanford the best town on the map." For the past six weeks or two months the Council has had under consideration what it could get from the PWA and WPA that would 'help and improve most with the least amount of cost to the citizens of Stanford ands the Council is under lasting adagations torsome of its leading citt-. zens club.

committees appearing before them and helping with plans and suggestions as to what would be best for Stanford to apply for. Every informed person knows what our president and congress are doing to end the dole and give useful employment to those out of work and to chels with these plans the Council is asked to make application for -help from the government that will be most helpful for their community and at the game: time thact work for the needy. In order to get this government assistance an application must be filed and in filing application questions must be answered and in answering some of these questions asked a competent engineer's service was required. The least that the City Council could do and co-operate with the president, would be to file an application or two with the PWA or WPA unless there is no unemployment and Stanford needs nothing in the way of improvements. glad to report that the City Council has seen fit to file one or more applications with the proper authority to improve Stanford and to give more employment to our needy citizens.

Up to date the council has not obligated Stanford for anything and so far as I know will not unless they have the -operation of the majority of our people. RU tire proper thate, the government approves any of our applications 5 the Council will be delighted to and facts the people and to have their opinion before the property owners will be obligated for anything. I am very grateful to the editor. for. this opportunity of expressing my views of what the council has been doing in regards to the call to end the dole and substitute useful employment.

QUICK WORK IN SECURING SIGNATURES Wednesday morning it was found that there was an error in the wording of the petition asking that an election be held to take the sense of the people, as to whether or not intoxicating liquors of any kind shall be sold in the county. A sufficient number of names had already been secured and the lists had to be destroyed. Anothbearing is believed to be the correct wording, was gotten out and by, noon it was in the hands of those favoring such an election and petitioners, were being secured.

At 3 o'clock Friday afternoon a Water 80 committee lodged with County Judge J. N. 1 Menefee tne names of petitioners numbering 2,493, or double the requisite number. By Saturday's morning mail three more petitions having 90 names were received, making a total of 2,583. The latter petitions came too late to file, Friday being the dead line.

Quick and good work on the part of the dozens who carried around the petitions and the willingness with which they were signed is an indication as to the feeling of Lincoln county voters about the sale of intoxicants in the county.

The stereotyped expression, "the election passed off quietly," can be truthfully used as regards the primary of Saturday. Many went to the polls and voted and returned home in order to attend to business. Others postponed voting until the afternoon and after indulging in the right of suffrage, did their usual Saturday afternoon shopping and swapping ideas with friends and acquaintances.

If there was anything that smacked of an election brawl, this paper has not heard of it. The vote exceeded that of a month previous by a little less than 200. It remains to be seen who profited by the increase. Two primaries within a little over 30 days is one too and we nope the next legisla ture's first act wit be to on HUEY LONG WOUNDED BY CRANK Senator Huey Long, stormy petrel and United States Senator from Louisiana, -was shot and wounded in the abdomen at the state capital at Baton Rouge, Sunday night.

As the senator stepped out of the house spectators said, Dr. Weiss walked up to Long and, pressing the muzzle of a pistol close to the body, fired one shot. The Kingfish was rushed to a hospital, where it was said that his wound is not considered very serious. AGED MRS. SINGLETON CALLED HENCE 1 A good old mother went to her reward when Mrs.

The sale was conducted by Hughes Carter, Stanford, and C. Ross, of Hustonville. We understand that Mrs. Lair will move to Hustonville, where her husband is chief of police and conducts a grocery store. Friends here will give her and Miss Dorothy Peyton up very reluctantly.

Evans, of Danville, and says some mighty nice things about his friend of many years." Among other things he told of Evans' fondness for bird hunting and what a fine shot he was. "He and Clay Rupley were the best bird hunters I ever knew and they always got a hundred per cent. mark in bagging the game," said he..
