No such in-JIvtmert has been prefer red. The nature of my work, whether done at a great or small charge, has not been called into question. The case against me rests upon the bare tech nicality that- my certificate was not registered. Uon the trial, I proved that I practiced before 1S79: proved also that I applied for and obtained a cer tificate. The transcript of the clerk of the court was there to speak for me. I had been assured that my name had been properly registered and relied upon that assurance. It turned out af terward, when it was too late to rem edy the omission, that my name had not been registered. : Here rests the whole legal ground for indicting me and depriving me of my only means of earning a living for mysf and the family dependent on my labor! I am not laving the blame for this on the dental society at large, in whose ranks I know there are hun dreds of just and honoTabtgmenr If the society has, as a body, taken ac tion against me, I believe it is be cause they have been misinformed by Individuals who do not hesitate to re sort to any means,- however unjust and oppressive, whenever there is any financial advantage to be gained there by. . If such parties were responsible for the selection of Mr. B. C. Beckwlth, they seem to have chosen a creature eminently fitted for the. sinister and discreditable work in hand.J. emphati cally deny Mr. Beckwith's charge that I punctured a plate made by another dentist and that I ever did, or thought of doing, any such" thing., It would have been a discreditable trick, If I had beon guilty of such a thlng.But I do say, with all emphasis, that it wquld not have been more dishonorable, more unprofessional, or more abhorent to the principles and practices of . a gentleman, than Mr. B. C: Beckwith's conduct in giving to the publio print a false and highly prejudicial account of my case, when It still stood upon the docket awaiting flnall determination and he had acted as counsel against me. Especially is that true in view 6t the fact that he had every reason to believe that his garbled account of the judicial proceeding in question and his villainous, unprovoked and inexcusa ble assault upon my character and reputation would be seen and read by the very court that will ultimately de cide whether or not I am td"be denied the opportunity to practice my pro fession. I say that when . Mr. B. C. Beckwlth made the statement that. I was deposed from the Holiness minis try and the Holiness Church because I used medical means to cure the itch. he uttered an infamous falsehood. Nor was there such ' evidence before the court I have never been, never have professed to be a Holiness minister, and was never ' afflicted with itch, which, however loathsome, Is, a dis ease by no means so repulsive to de cent men as a dwarfed brain and a de generate conscience. The cause of my separation from the Holiness Church had not the slightest connection with any disease of mine and arose purely about a question concerning the tise of certain drugs in the practice of dentistry. Mr. B. C. Beckwlth seems to hold the religion of the Holiness Church In contempt. In his stupidity and intolerance he even sought in the courtroom upon my cross-examination to prejudice me in the eyes of the Jury by questioning me about my re ligious views until the Judge warned him to desist. -I If Mr.: Beckwlth had wished to be fair, he would have said at least in his Interview, that two upright and honor able men-who had known me for many years went on the stand and tes tified to my good repute. Ono of these, Mr. M. F. Hull, has been a member of the General Assembly. The other. Mr. Leatherman, stands high among all who know him. If either of those men have ever been touched by the breath of suspicion. I never knew It. They had no Interest In the case. Their opinion of me is worth as much, at least, as the assaults made upon me by lawyers full of duplicity: by ene mies full of malace. I never injured Mr. B. C. Beckwlth. After the trial I left the court and returned home to see if any new field of employment ; could be found. Then Mr. Beckwlth assailed me in his scurrilous interview, though he was well aware that within a few weeks my case would be heard on appeal in the Supreme Court. I am willing for any honest lawyer In the State of North Carolina to say if have not, in being attacked thus, under Mich circumstances, been foully dealt with. If I had been a horse thief, I sub mit that I would have been entitled to be tried as fairly as if I had been President of the United States. After reading that interview, no man who did not know me or Beckwlth, no man who did not know the facts in the case, would put me down as anything less than a contemptible scoundrel. It my case has not already been preju diced in the public eye, If the Supreme Court Justices have not, already come to the conclusion that whatever the legal merits of my caso may be, they rannot adjudge me Innocent without turning loose on the community a Vil lian and an Impostor, H Is not because B, C. Beckwlth has not opened the way. ' . I have 3imply this to say in conclu sion. If, after B. C. Beckwlth has made such a cowardly and such an unprofessional and ungentiemanly as sault upon me, he can go on practicing ', dope a t?3 ; -.-..'u i uftcr meals an 4 fit biiu.'--:.

STRAIGHT REPUBLICAN nGIIIT. Asriolllo's Minority Party Organizing for tho Coming Municipal Battle of the Ballots o Mixed Ticket, But a Contest Between Old-Lino Demo crats and ' Republicans for Control of City Governmental Affairs. Special ' to The Observer. Asheville, April 18. The Republi cans of Ashe vi Ue are making ready for a stiff political fight next month, and that they have hope of capturing one or more of the municipal offices is evidenced .by tho enthusiasm now manifest among the rank and file of the minority party, At a meeting of the Republican city executive commit tee last night all th$ voting precincts in Asheville were well represented and some discussion had relative to prob able candidates for the various offices. The committee selected dates for 'the ward meetings andthe nominating con vention. The ward meetings will be held next Monday, when delegates to tho nominating convention will be selected:- The convention to nominate, a straight- Republican --ticket will be ; held in the county court house Wednesday evening, April 24th, at 8:30 o'clock. The ward meetings will be held on Monday evening at 8 o'clock. Th Republicans say that they are going to nominate only straight Republicans and likewise business men who hold the respect and confidence of the people of the city. There will be no mixed ticket this year. It will be contest of parties with old-lino Democrats and Republicans seeking support at the polls. The date , for the Republican nominating con- j ventlon Is set for the night following the Democratic primary election and; the Republicans will therefore know who their opponents will be prior to the selection of their candidates. Tho lull in local political circles of the past several days will probably end with the. nominating of tickets by the two parties and the fiprht for con trol of the efty government'will be on with a vim. The. Republican will prob ably put up a stronger and more de termined fight than many Democrats think for. They are perfecting a thorough organization and believe that the time is ripe for Republican vic tory. They have hope of materially re ducing the Democratic majority and of electing several othelr candidates. Quick Action of Mind and Hands Saved This Man's life. Mount Airy Leader. . W. L. Alberty, who lives near Crutchfleld, in this county, had a nar row and thrilling escape from death last Tuesday afternoon and an experi ence that he will not soon forget While standing on the "hounds" of hia wagon and throwing off a few remain ing sticks of a load of wood, his team became frightened and suddenly dash ed oft, throwing Mr. Albert down on the hounds. The wagon then struck A stump, throwing his head between the spokes of a rear wheel and behind the a standard. Fortunately he ' had the presence of mind to grasp the wheel and thus locked it) He remained In this position while the team was run ning a distance of 25 or 80 yards, holding on to the wheel with grim desperation, fully realizing that to re lax his grip meant instant death, for had the wheel revolved even a few Inches his neck would have been broken. A Mr. Wood, who was with him, managed to stop the,team and ex tricate Mr, Alberty from his perilous position Just as his strength failed. While badly shaken up and bruised about the neck and shoulders, Mr. Al berty was jiot seriously injured. . on a A I, ! vu. 2n lb rj. Try on i i c: c. cc'iiizr.aAL1 n mr;rAr.Tr.r.3. .
