FAVORS AMENDMENT
Resolved: That this association thank
the Hon George A Henshaw Corporation
Commissioner for his instructive address
and particularly for bis analysis of the
proposed amendment of article IX of Sec-
tion 9 of the state constitution which
amendment has been submitted to the
people for their adoption or rejection at a
special election to be held on August 5
1913 and whereas there are more than
6000 miles of foreign corporation railroad
mileage in the state valued at from $35-
to $45000 per mile for taxation purposes
and less than 300 miles of railroad mile-
age owned by domestic corporations val-
ued at from $5000 to $12500 per mile for
taxation purposes all of which domestic
corporation is unprofitable and in a fail-
ing condition and whereas under the
proposed amendment or leases operating
agreements or sales of domestic corpora-
tion railroad mileage can be made with-
out the joint approval of the corporation
commission and the legislature and
whereas under the proposed amendment
the interests of the public are properly
safeguarded and the results which will fol
low its adoption will insure a large in
crease in the taxable wealth of the state
thus aiding the individual taxpayer will
decrease freght rates and promote more
efficient service to all patrons of the rail
road mileage affected by said amendment
and promote the construction of addition-
al rauryads and in the development of
the resources of the state thetefore be it
Resolved: That we indorse the propos-
ed amendment of Article IX of Section 9
of the constitution and urge the press of
the state to promote the same to the end
that the voters wili not be ignorant of its
provisions or indifferent as to its adoption
PICTURES DON’T TELL THE STORY
You cannot judge the quality of a sew-
ing machine from pictures You must
see them and try them before you can
tell if they are what they are claimed to
be The fact that Singer Sewing Ma-
chines are in more homes of well-to-do
people than all other makes combined
They have stood as the best sewing ma-
chines made for more than sixty years- Canada ast yeflr
should have some influence wnh you —
they are not sold as being as good as
some others but as the best machine
made at any price
Call at the Cherokee Mercantile Com-
pany and Mr Bussart will show you this
machine and give you the price

met with the city council last week and
secured permission to use the city park
for tlieir services during the hot summer
months They will prepare the park with
seating capacity and all necessary ar-
rangements Rev Talley is of the opin-

able than the inside services and that it
will attract many people to the service
who would not be inclined to attend
otherwise The meetings which have
been previously held in the park were al-
ways successful from the standpoint of attendance
