C., July 13,1925. To the Members of the Town Council ox the Town of Clinton and to the City Attorney. Gentlemen: There has been much interference with the orderly conduct of the town’s business, and mpch disturbance in the public mind, resulting from lack of agreement in Council relative to the wisdom of certain policies, and rela tive to the limitjp' of authority cf Councilmen and Mayor and depart mental heads. The city's interest is jeopardized and the tax-payers have already lost to some degree in reduced efficiency, and in some respects from mcreaseds^xpense incident to the con troversial s cil. situation existing in Coun- I have consistently maintained the policies which I declared to the public before my election, and stand ready to defend my action on all points, but I realize that the public interest is not being conserved by the contimnmce of the present administration as a whole. Litigation, directedagainst J. F. Jacobs as Mayor’ and Miss Mary Chalmers as Clerk and Treasurer of the Town of Clinton, has been insti tuted by Messrs. T. J. Blalock and L R. Stone and C. C. Bailey in the name ** * th, T“1 to the people in the following form: I propose that in case each and every one cl you will resign your of fice I will resign mine, effective after the results of a new election, (to be called as soon as possible), have been declared, and upon the newly elected council being sworn in. I propose further that allowing pro per time for the urfual primary elect ion to be ordered by the local Demo cratic Club, that a new election be set for the election of Mayor and aider- men of the Town of Clinton, and I invite each and every dne of you to Yun for office, as I shall run for the office of Mayor, leaving it to your discretion as to whether you will run foi the Mayor’s office or for the office of councilman. This will leave the matter m the hands of the people to decide. If they do not favor my policies and I am condemned by the majority of the citizens of the Town of Clinton, I will be retired and the policies of four caucus councilmen and the City Attorney will be preferred to mine, and we will have a unified government under you^ domination. On the other hand, if my policies are maintained I would hope that the pub- Hrwould return to Council such coun cilmen as would uphold my hands on my announced policies of progress, economy, efficiency and universal fairness to all thb' citizens of the Town of Clinton. 3 1 D.

The initiation of this action involves expense both for plaintiff and deferrdents, which expense is bound' to fall to a greater or less degree upon the people of the Town of Clinton. It is also bound to take a great deal of the time of city officers, which time would be better employed in the con duct of the very large affairs with which the Mayor and the Clerk and Treasurer now have to deal. It is contrary to public interest; disturb ing to the public mind; injtfhousT to the public purse, and will interfere with the proper conduct of the busi ness affairs of the people. Under these circumstances the people should be heard on the subject. I therefore propose to you as'pa triotic citizens of the Town of Clin ton that as these matters-are not cur private affairs, but the affairs of the general public of the Town of Clinton, that the litigation initiated bi immediately quashed, and action withdrawn, and that instead of pealing to the courts for a decision that the appeal be made to the people of Clinton, giving them the right to decide for themselves whether they rpprove of the policies of the caucus of councilmen, or Whether they ap prove of the policies of the Mayor and his administration. I therefore pro pose that we submit the entire matter If you are conscious that you are right, and believing conscientiously that you are right, you are willing to submit an affair of the people to the decision of the people by meeting this challenge, then let us jointly resign, with a joint understanding that each and every one of us will run for of fice, each to select the office for whichvhe will run, and leaye it to the people of Clinton to vindicate or con demn according as their judgement may require, and to return to office a unified city government either sup porting my policies or supporting the policies of the four caucus councilmen and the Attorney, or retriing all of us. Yours, sincerely, J. F. JACOBS, Mayor. e\ In response to the^bove Messrs. J. P. <3*rter and R. C. CoUins and C. C. Bailey agreed to resign if all would resign. Messrs. S. G.* Dillard, L. R. Stone and T. J. Blalock declined. At torney Wade declared that nothing would induce his ^resignation short of a request of a majority of Council. A motion made by J. P. Carter, sec onded by R. C. Collins demanding his resignation received the supporting vote of Messrs. Carter, Collins and Mayor Jacobs, but was lost by a larg er opposing vote of C. C. Bailey, T. J. Blalock, L. R. Stone and S. G. Dillard. 1 3 0 O 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 Highest Acheiveme IN Upholstery, Beauty and You will actually be surprised at the exquisite workmanship; the brilliant harmony and artistry, throughout, of these beau tiful suites we are now showing.

After taking the pills my bowels would act a couple or three times, then I would be very constipated. ”A neighbor told me of Black- Draught and 1 began its use. I never have found so much relief as it gave me. 1 would not be with out it for anything. ”It seemed to aeanse my whole system and made me feel like new.

Will you ‘please keep youy mouth shut.” Mr. Hays: “Will your hohor^hear my motion?” Attorney General Stewart: ‘T am making my exception to the court.” The court: “I will hear it.” Attorney General Stewart: “It is entirely out of order. And I except to it with all the vehemence of my nature.” , _ The court: “I will hear it; proceed, Mr. Hays.” ^ Mr. Hays then proceeded to continue reading of the petition which asked that if the court continued to the custom of opening with prayer that . “you select the officiating clergymen have been summoned by the state and .from' among other than fundamental ist churches in alternation with fund amentalist clergymen. ' - « “We beg you to consider the fact that among the person? intimately connected with and participating in this trial of John T. Scopes there are many to whom the prayers of fun damentalists are not" spiritually uplift ing and are occasionally offensive. In asmuch as by your ruling all the people in the court room are required to participate in the prayers by rising, it seems to us only just and right that we should occasionally hear a prayer which reguires no mental re servation pn our part and in which we can conscientiously participate.” With this petition Mr. Hays filed the following motion for the defense: “While preserving our exception to the opening of court by prayer, that if prayers are to be made, this peti^ tion be granted and that on some oc casions the prayers be made by men who think that God has shown His divinity in the wonders of the world, in the book of nature, quite as much as in the book of the revealed word.” The petition of the visiting clergy men was referred by Judge Rauhston to the Dayton^Ministerial association with Jthis comment: “I shall ask the pastors’ association from now on to name the man who is to conduct prayer.
