CARD FROM MR. H1NES
EDITOR HERALD:
Dear Sir: Will you allow mi
apace in your paper to correct "a
report! It ha* been reported to me
by several reliable men that there is
a report in Ahoalde, and same ie being
Circulated all oVer the county, that
my pay roll for the month of Feb
ruary for labor, was nine thousand
dollars. This is an absolute false
hood. It was not this auibunt in Feb
uary nor in any other month. This
same party also stated that I had
cleared an acre of land on my farm
with the convict force. This is also
false. No convict has ever "struck a
lick" of work on my land except to
cut wood for the convict camp.
I have never stayed on this farm
twenty minutes at a time since I
bought it until last Sunday except
from between nine o'clock at night
until live o'clock in the morning. I
also understand that I left trucks out
last winter and -allowed the water to'
freeze in the radiators and burst
them. ' ? ? __
Now all this ia false and the worth
less cur who started it is unworthy to
breath the breath of a common
hound and is not half as much as a
gentleman. I understand all this
is a part of a frame-up to elect a hew
Commission. I think if he is a cam
paign manager for any candidate, that
candidate is already defeated. If this
report is started to defeat the com
missioners, why don't they hit them
instead of me. If I was half as mean
and dirty as the one who started this
report, I would not want a job as road
superintendent in the county. I
would be out robbing the banks and
be a professional thief and liar as he
is. Respectfully,
F. G. HINES, Road Supt.
