It Created a refunding commission to place our foreign loans on a businesslike basis and formulate conditions for their payment.

Mr.

President, I could stand here for one solid hour and rehearse what has been accomplished by this admin-itration, and I say without a question' of doubt that no legslature that ever met has passed so many beneficial laws as has the present Congress under this administration. Summarized hy Senator Reed Smoot September 22, 1922. Mr. SMOOT. Mr.

President, I had expected to occupy some of the time of the Senate today in rehearsing the accomplishments of the administration for the last two yearsbut that is entirely 'out of the question, for it is hut a few minutes before adjournments" Perhaps it will be just'' as well for me at this time to read the headline of what I intended to speak upon. Furthermore, I notice that yesterday, in the House, Hon. Frank W. Mondell delivered a speech coverr ing about the same subject matter that I intended to speak upon today; so I will content myself by just reciting the subject matter without any further discussion. There are a great many of them here that I should like to discuss in detail, and many that I have not enumerated.

The Congress has completed 18 months of constructive legislation, which is without parallel in the history of this country. No Congress ever came into power facing such chaotic conditions calling for deliberate and constructive efforts. The Republican party has pledged to give the country constructive legislation. No Congress has ever enacted a greater percentage of legislation promised by its party. Consider ita record: First, and of vital importance, it has enacted no destructive, no sectional, no class legislation.

To put more business in government, it enacted the Budget law, under which the economy program of this administration was made possible. It reduced the public taxes a year, the bulk of which is lifted from the family and individual of average income. That taxes might be still'f urtfier reduced, it unsparingly cut public -appropriation. It found 5,000,000 men ilde. To prevent further aggravation -of the unemployment situation, it enacted the restrictve immigration It found agriculture facing ruin.

To relieve the situation it revived the War Finance Corporation and furnished it with a million-dollar revolving fund to loan the farmer his emergency tariff, which stopped the emergency tariff, whichc stopped the flood of import that was contributing to agricultural distress. It increased the funds of the Federal farm loan bank in the -sum of $25,000,000., The result was the revival of agriculture, which brought the farmer who purchases 40 per cent of the manufactured products of the coun- try, again into the market, thus giving employment to ilde men. It enacted a permanent tariff, insuring industry and agriculture alike protection "from destructive competition and 'the working man steady employment at a good It enacted the Sweet law, which created the Veterans Bureau, consol- idating all government agencies dealing with ex-service men and facilitating the work 'of relieving disabled war veterans. It appropriated for the use of that bureau more money than was apprpriated for any other purpose except payment of the public debt and interest thereon. It found the country officially in a state of war with Germany and Adopted Unanimously by" the County Teacher.

Strict Middling, :....19.75 According to the plans that are under way by the United Farmersof America of Chilton County and the Clanton Chamber of Commerce, Friday is to be a big event in Clanton. It is expected that upwards of two thousand members of the Farmers or-ganizaion from all over the county will be here for the celebration of the first annual rally day. The preparations for the occasion are being made by the Chamber of Commerce at the Chestnut lot two blocks east of the Court House on Main Street. Here a speakers stand will be erected and a large table to care for the basket dinner which will be spread for the crowd. In addition to the members of the United Farmers of America, it is expected that hundreds of other farmers and citizens from all over the county will be in attendance.

The hief event of the day will be the address by Mr. M. W. Lamb of Blytheville, Arkansas. Mr.

Lamb is the founder; of the. United Farmers of America. His address dealing with the advantages and purposes of the organization will doubtless put a great stimulant in the organization which has already reached a good headway in Chilton county. The Clanton Chamber of Commerce, and the individual business men of Clanton are making every prepara-' tion" to show the visiting farmers and members of the United Farmers a grand time on Friday. DIEFENDERFER NOW SELLING FORD CARS Mr.

L. E. Diefenderfer of Thorsby is now selling Ford cars, tractors, for the Clanton Motor Car Co. Mr. Diefenderfer says if any of his Mr.

Diefenderfer says if any of his friends in Chilton County have become tired of walking, he will be glad to fix them up with a Ford so they, can go where they are going in a hurry and be sure to get back the same day. FRIENDSHIP SINGING SOCIETY The Friendship Singing Society has a big program scheduled for next Sunday afternoon. Some of the best singers of the county have promised to be. there to direct music, including Prof. M.

Prof. O. L. Devaughn, Jesse C. Jones, and oth ers.

We expect to have a first class singing on next Sunday afternoon, as it is getting rather late in the season and it won't be before the weather will be unfavorable for such gatherings. So all the singers in reach are invited to come out and join with us on this occasion. Singing will begin promptly at 2:00 o'clock. MRS. BRUCE WINS SECOND PRIZE AT FAIR Mr.

Ed Bruce received a telegram from Mrs. Bruce Tuesday afternoon stating that she had won second prize for her Chilton County exhibit at the Alabama State Fair. Mrs. Bruce deserves the thanks of our people for her efforts that have brought our county this distinct honor. W.

T. Womble, merchant of Mt. Creek, was a visitor to Clanton on Monday. When in need of Watch or Clock ee Aired Drag Company. We have the Standard make.

Mr. Howard L. our County Superintendent of Education; who has been posing. in years past as an advocate and supporter of the Republican party in Chil- ton County, and who was so highly commended last week by the 134 teachers in the Chilton County Teachers In- -stitute for keeping the school business out of politics, turned up again Tuesday morning of this week at The Union-Barlner office; with another long and laborious harangue of very much distorted and vicious political bunk of strange concoction, with a request that we pub-. lish the same.

When asked what the purpose and intention of the great row that he is and has been seeking to stir up ink Chilton County recently, Mr-Foshee admitted to me that it was for the SOLE INTENTION OF. KEEPING L. H. REYNOLDS FROM BEING; ELECTED AS PROBATE "JUDGE IN' NOVEMBER. He further stated that he did not recognize Rey- nolds as the nominee of the- Republican party of Chilton -County for Probate Judge and for that reason, and the further reasons that the Judge was charged by him of being guilty of taking somef stands in politics that were not pleasing to himself, (Mr.

Foshee), he was taking it upon himself to see that he was not elected as Probate Judge' in November I desire to state that Mi. Foshee's letter was refused publicaton" in this paper. Our reasons are obvious to man who cares anythingabout the success of our "Republican' ticket. -This' paper believes in supporting" the Republican ticket that was nominated in our Primary, and this support is whole hearted and honest. There-.

fore we will not submit our columns for use by such as Mr. Foshee who seek to apply the knife to certain ones on that ticket. Such tactics are not becoming to men who claim to be loyal and faithful Republicans. The man who is fighting Judge Reynolds or any oth- er one, candidate on our ticket, cannot be classed as a man who is true to the interests of the party. We do not coun-.

tenance such action and will not be a party to such by allowing them to use space in, our paper for advertise- ment of their incendiary motives that can do nothing but drag down our party and lend encouragement to the Democrats. Mr. Foshee was advised by me to carry his article to the Chilton County News for publication. They make a-, business of fighting the Republican party with that paper, and it isthere that such methods, as thoseof Mr. Fo-shee properly belong to be recognized.

The Democrats, we feel sure will, and have already, heartily endorsed the fight that Mr. Foshee is making to beat Judge Reynolds. They know. that opposition to Judge Reynolds also means opposition to all the Republican candidates, therefore the warmth of their love for Mr. Foshee is growing to a high degree.

We see every day. many Dem-ocrats embrace him -on the streets and in the alleys, and even go to his office. No doubt they are constantly lauding his great and glorious fight, against the Republican candidates very highly. If Mr. Foshee can see wherein he is to get any glory out of this traitorous effort to defeat Judge Reynolds and the balance of the" Republican ticket, he is at liberty to pursue his course to any limits that his foolish ideas may lead him.

As for The Union-Banner, we here and now, once and for all announce to the people of this county, and to Mr. Foshee that we have no space to give or sell to him or anybody else, to be used in fighting the Re--publican ticket that is now before the people of this coun- ty to be elected to fill county offices. I presume that the Republicans whom Mr. Foshee is seeking-to lead away, from the Republican party will soon receive some more special marked copies of The Chilton County News bearing the wonderful wisdom of his latest eruption to them. i My advice to the Republicans of this county is that you pay no attenton to the fuss that Mr.

Foshee is raising. You will some day be sorry of it if you let him de- ceive you into voting against the Republican tieket next November and allow the Democrats to take charge of the affairs of our county again. Let us be loyal to our party, which has stood by us so nobly in the past. The interests of all the people of the county are more to be considered'" than the personal grievances of Mr. Foshee against Judge Reynolds.

Our people should vote to take care of the affairs of our-county rather than to satisfy the vicious ravings of one man who has gone mad about his. own personal misfortunes in politics. Respectfully, W. M. WYATT.

STATEMENT OF CONDITION First National Bank THE OLDEST BANK In Chilton County STRETCHING THE TRUTH If some one should say that our Bank was not a good bank, we would not call him a liar, but we would at least offer the suggestion that he was one. of those fellows who sometimes stretch the truth too far.
