MAYOR JACOBS CHALLENGES
CITY COUNCIL AND ATORNEY
TO RESIGN; THREE DECLINE
The following paper was read be
fore Council by Mayor Jacobs last
Monday night:
Clinton, S. 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.

Clinton. 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.

Kentucky Man Finds Relief
from Dizzy Attacks.
"I suffered with severe bilious
attacks that came on two or three
times each month,” says Mr. J. P.
Nevins, of Lawrenceburg, Ky.
”1 would have dizziness and
couldn’t work.
“1 would take pills until I was
worn-out with them. I didn’t seem
to get relief. 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.
I would take a few doses—get rid
of the bile and have my usual clear
head, feel full of ’pep’ and could do ‘
twice the work." _ ,

pose of hearing a motion of that sort, j hastily and
or anything of that sort, your honor
has passed upon the motion.”
Mrr Hays: *“1 insist upon making
this motion.”
Attorney General Stewart: ‘‘I am
making my exception to the court.
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. I shall have no
street tonight and apoligized to the
New York lawyer for his sharp retort
in the court room.
“I am sorry that I spoke as I did,”
the attorney general said. “I spoke
I ask your pardon.”
Mr. Hays grasped the proffered
hand of the state’s attorney and read
ily accepted the apology. Mr. Malone,
in accompany with lys New York col
league, also shook hands with Mr.
Stewart and they parted itj good hu
mor when Mr. Malone said:
“We, consider you the embodiment
of courtesy.” ' .
Attorneys tonight expected Judge
Raulston to announce his ruling on
the motion to miash at the court open
ing tomorrow morning. The proced
ure thereafter will be to swear in the
jury, arraign the defendant and re
ceive his plea, and to call in witnesses
to support the contention of the state
that-Scopes violated the Tennessee
statute against teaching evolution in
the public schools.
Ten or more high -school pupils,
members of Mr. Scopes’ classes of the
recent session of the Dayton s chool,

tomorrow, unless further motions by
