THE PEOPLE
OF CHEROKEE COUNTY
(Political Advertisement)
My duties during and following
the close of the recent session of
Congress and the work of transferr-
ing my office and most needed files
to temporary quarters at Jacksonville
detained me until but a short time
was left for my campaign of our
large district of 14 counties. Im-
portant official mail requiring prompt
attention comes to me daily, usually
making it necessary for me to re-
turn to the office twice per week,
even from remote parts of the dis-
trict, to attend to important official
duties. To do this I often make
long drives home during the night.
Already I have visited many points
in Cherokee County and hope to visit
others. I am sure you will appre-
ciate my situation and understand
why I cannot visit every community
in the country before the primary.
The long: session of Congress always
falls on election years. My practice
of staying with my official duties us-
ually keeps me out of the district
until the campaign is nearly over.
During one year I had only 15
working days within which to cover
14 counties and reach some, 400,000
people, though I had three opponents,
some of whom were strong, actively
campaigning for months before I
reached home.
Our own county has many worthy
candidates for county offices and
some for district offices, while other
counties in our senatorial, judicial
and congressional districts have
other worthy men aspiring for the
same offices. These conditions de>
velop rivalries. I have had no part
in inspiring any of these candidacies
and am hostile to none of them,
have taken not the slightest action
concerning any of them. These lo-
cal and district candidates of our
own and adjacent counties are almost
invariably men of good character and
ability and my personal friends to
whom I am under strong obligations
of friendship and gratitude. I wish
good to all of them and ill to none
of them. I hope that my friends will
do nothing to involve my candidacy
in any of these rivalries.
I am striving to serve my consti-
tuents and the nation diligently and
efficiently with a view to the good
of the people now and hereafter in
such a manner as to do no discredit
to the great old home county which
has always so generously sustained
me.
Your friend and Servant,
JOHN C. BOX
RASKBOB FAVORS HOME BREW
Boston, July 14.—A system which
would make intoxicating liquor avail-
able for home consumption is advo-
cated in a letter sent by John J. Ras-
kob, chairman of the Democratic nat-
ional committee, to committeemen
throughout the country and delegates
to the Democratic national conven-
tion at Houston. The letter was
made public here Sunday as members
of the Massaachusetts Democratic
committee met here for reorganiza-
tion.
"Social conditions throughout our
country have reached a state of deca-
dence that demands correction. My
feeling is that a scheme of control of
the manufacture, sale, transportation
and consumption of intoxicating li-
quor, under which it may be had for
home consumption, and prevent the
return of the saloon, which was the
medium through which the use of
liquor wa ■ abused, in such communi-
ty as vote thereon under a local op-
tion law. would be welcomed by all.
"All r>ht thinking people are for
temperance, law and order, but we
ino-t have respectable laws if we ex-
pect them to be respected.
"All must agree that there is a
wide lack of respect for the eigh-
teenth amendment and the Volstead
act, so that it behooves all of us to
endeavor a> secure such modification
of existing laws as will result in the
restoration of respect for ourselves,
our law and our great constitution.
T'he marriage of W. W. (Webb)
Finley and Miss Helen Smith which
was solemnized at "the First Metho-
dist church of Rusk, by Rev. J. F.
Carter, at 8:30 p. m., Thursday, July
12th., was one of the most elaborate
ceremonies witnessed in our city for
many years. The occasion was made
especially of interest by the extreme
popularity of the contracting parties
and the further fact that they had
very condescendingly made it poss-
ible for their innumerable friends to
witness the sacred and happy ser-
vice.
A more popular couple has never
grown up in Rusk than Webb Finley
and Helen Smith. They number
their true friends by the extent of
their acquaintance, only. Both were
born and reared in, or near this city,
their parents being among our most
highly respected and desirable citi-
zenship, and they have proved more
than worthy issues of worthy paren-
tage. It is stating nothing more
than the truth to aver that Webb
Finley is one of the finest specimen
of true, exemplary young manhood
that one will meet in a lifetime, al-
ways standing squarely for What he
rocognizes as the right manner of
living and conduct, with due consi-
deration for the rights and privileges
of others, making of his personal life
an example of what a man should be
by his daily walks and practices,
thereby setting a most wholesome
example to others.
Miss Helen, as we have all known
her, is of that type of young woman-
hood that is a noble example of what
the word implies, modest, retiring,
possessed of many virtures and grace
that are ever becoming of one of her
fortunate station in life, loved by
all who are fortunate enough to be
listed among her long list of friends,
and above all of the disposition to
make a most desirable, agreeable and
helpful mate for the man of her
choice, and fortunate indeed, was the
man who could claim her for his own.
They are both of that rare type
of true, young, active and conscien-
tious christains that have made of
their lives a something to be admired
and emulated, and which has earned
them the love and admiration of all.
The details of the happy and ap-
pealing occasion, are as follows:
The church was artistically and ela-
borately decorated with arches of
pink rosebuds and southern smilax.
Preceeding the ceremony, Mrs.
Chas. Shelby sang, "As the Dawn,"
accompanied by Mrs. Egbert Cope-
land at the piano; Mrs. E. R. Gregg
gave a violin number, "To an Old
Refrain." Mrs. R. E. Hooker sang
"At Dawning."
To the strains of Lohengrin's Bri-
dal chour, played by Mrs. Copeland
at the piano and Mrs. Gregg, violin,
the bride entered on the arm of her
uncle, Mr. F. A. Yehle, who gave
her in marriage. The groom attend-
ed by his brother, Mr. Forest Finley,
as best man, awaited at the altar
over which was suspended a wedding
bell.
The bride was proceeded by two
flower girls, Imogene Mayes, cousin
of the bride and Elizabeth Ann,
niece of the groom, who wore dres-
ses of pink taffeta and carried crys-
i tal baskets of flowers. The train
bearers were Masters Thomas Guinn
Mayes and George Spinks Tucker,
who were attired in white suits.
Miss Elizabeth Ragsdale, as maid
of honor was gowned in orchid taf-
feta with hat and accessories to
i match, Miss Thelma Finley as brides
maid wore pink taffeta with picture
! hat and accessories to match and
j Miss Bessie Loone.v, as maid in blue
taffeta with hat and accessories to
| match and each carried bouquets of
j pink rosebuds. The groomsmen were
Messers Bonds Loone.v and Wyatt
Summers.
The bride was attractive in a gown
of silver lace with a veil and acces-
sories to match and carried an arm
bouquet of white sweetheart rose-
buds and 1 illies of the valley.
The recessional, Mendelsohn's wed-
ding march was played as the bridal
party left the church.
