an insult to every thinking
Democrat buu jvepuuucau,
who lives in the South. He
went farjabead of bis party's
platform and declared that
theJinteUigent element of the
' ' ' ' fTnttorl HrntM belonged t O
J MSIV sww rm
the reoublican party. At this
rate he proceeded, avoiding
more: skilfully than was at

He dodged the tariff, but told

land's administration that
his eloauent and sy pathetic
words rang icy tears from
tbe children andHmade the
thinking men of bis audience
look upon himitb;pity and
dirirust.
Had Mr. Blackbnrn stop-
. psd here, therejlmignt nave
been some of tbe crowd left
hi doubt as to his abilities
and fitness for office: but it is
to be remembered that the
nocking bird always lets you

bird before be quits singing,
; and so it was with ths Con

convinced many that he was
willing to, use any kind of
subterfuge that might with

His reason 'for not meet

fwMkonaa ha f Mr. Hack
. . l
tt; was nor. a oeceiu mau,
H'hat was the matter with
Mr. Blackburn four years ago
whan ha tailed to meet Mr.
KlutU? This question can be
answered by any unprejodlc
ed man. It is not, as every
voter should know. Mr. Hack
ett's Indecency" Mr. Black
burn dislikes, but be fears to
face his opponent and the
people on account of his own
' ininnitiefl. H e attacked Mr.
Hackett'a private character
fan very mean and coward
Iy war, and made statements
that Mr HnckPtt In fiolncr to
hold him personally reeponni

tried to excuse himself by
saving that the man w b o
mads tbe affidavit bad neen
indicted several times. Now
if men wbd have been indict
ed word is not to be taken,
t h m, vira had better be
careful who they believe
He tun referred to Mr.
Hackftt's drinking, and said
in a very boatful manner
that be Mr. B.) bed never
graduated from the Kely In
etitute and certainly from all
reports this is a self evident
fact. ''
His SDeecb was a disappoint
client and was but abuse and
vituperation, and 1 am not
sure of but three men that
were glad tbey were t b e r e,
and tbey were men . who bad
bills, protected checks, etc.
against Mr Blackburn with
the hope of getting t b e I r
pay' out that Mercenary
thousand. He referred to
those bills, (wbicb has b e e n
the talk about Blowing Bock
for some time) owning that
be owed bis livery bill, but
left tbe impression with the
people that be did not owe a
board bill or anything of the
kind NevertbcleM the board
bill and tbe protested check
totfetber with tbe droc bill
which was of two years stand
ing was presented to him in
person, for one of tbe gentle
men said be was afraid to
risk the mail as Mr. Black
burn bad always failed to get
mail of this kind. I will say
lor tbe beoitit of Blackburn
and tbe vigttence of the gen
lemen tbat in bis private
chamber tbat nigbt, tbey
met with good euccess in
covering over $300 from tbe
Nflit Tuesdav. will decide
the contest between the par
ties in the county, State and
nation, We want to Impress
upon every voter the necessi
ty of knowing why he votes
as be does and why be votes
for the roan be does, ' In ou
county affairs the time ba
come when every c 1 1 1 1 e n
should see to it that tbe man
lor J whom he votes is worthy
of bis suffragetand will make
a bra v, fearless official, who
will do bis whole duty regard
lena of tbeconseauences. We
want officials who will per
form their duty honestly and
against whom there will not
be an everlasting complaint.
And then we want men who,
when they promise upon ev
ery stomp that they will not
be a candidate again to tick
o it. We want men of truth,
and such men are not wor
thy of the support ol honest
voters. We know tbat tbe ma
jority of the , voters of this
county are honest and they
wbouldlsee to it that honest
men are in office. Men, lay a
side feeling and prejudice one
time and let s put cut court
bouse - rings and dictators
and let tbe people rule.

If this is ths kind of cam
paigning Mr, Blackburn has
carried on over this district
there can be no doubt tbat
Mr. Hackett will consign bim
to a political grave tbat will
swallow him up to such a
depth that though Wsmius
were to become active be
neatb bim, it could never
blow from its crater one hair
from that great man's bead.

tbe News man in tbe course
of his remarks, if he knew or

extravagance. Tbe penri
pusher refneed to answer,
and the Speaker pressed tbe
question. It was then up to
tbe Republican editor. He an
ewered that be could not,
thus admitting before aiarge
crowd that he bad btstn ma

not babntanfiate. How do
you suppose he felt?

iliitas Sheriff last
Mr. Editob: J wiahtbroogh
thn mlnmns of vone paper to
state a few facts in regard to
a small battle which took
lare at my home on August
the 28th, 1906, in wbicn
Sheriff Hodges, Tom Wat
son, and eiitht or nine more
were engagwi. It bas been
rniereprernted, and I wish
to give the true statement.
For n number of weeks!
bad been in West Virginia'at
work, I have a large family
all of whom are dependent
noon me. During my nbeence
tny whole family-was taken
with the meaiwls, and I came
home to see them. At about
2 o'clock one morning I dis
corered that these men were
around mv house. Tbe raid
was made at about 6 o'clock,
I have been accused of fir
icwr the first shot, wbicbis
false, and juet as I give this
1 can prove It by 6 witnesses
and a part of their crowd. ,.
Hodges knocked on t b
door. In answer to his knock
1 escaped the window and ran
as fast as it was powible for
me to The crowd opened fire
and fired about 40 shots. I
made;a narrow escape, and
thought more than once
that i was bit, one ball kd
cing my side. .
I ran in six feet of Hodju's
and Green; told the sheriff to
stand back and he gave tue
all thejioom I needed. I think
they ran as fast as I. In time
of the fight one man, Potter,
fired three. "hots at. me, and
in response I fired at bim to
b i t. ; My weapon w a a
Smith & Wesson 45. By this
time Hodges had disappeared
and I drove all out but Tom
Watson. He and I were very
sood friends and talked of
the bond, and I was inform
ed tbat there were no papers
for in at all. lam Safe, 1
think. in KHvinir tbat the
crowd was drinhing.
