I have been acquaint edrwitb him and his family praotio VllyaU hil life, he .held a .retlval Bere'in this sectin of the country Sn3 soon had the greatest success of any preacher for many years. He had his wife and children here and stayed at my house a few nights, and my op- ...... inion about Charley is that he is trying to do the right thing. He was i reared up very poor and he deserves j- ? -.-.ii i, k.. credit for doing as well as he has. His father and uncles never had any financial ability, they never appear- ed to care much about this world's irnrA a Turn tf Vl 1 a linplafl At10 nflW j j j l- tV Wu dead and one living, they ere both good preachers and were loved very eloved very much by the people. I am sure that Charley's wife is a poor house-keeper and is really not fit to rear a family, I do not mean that I know anything against her moral character but she is what you call a no-account woman. I don't suppo se that Charley provid ed for her and the children while k. awav'frAm Knmo am ximll no some men do, for their ', wive, and . ff, bb e o je will not be children, but I do not believe he isPuded fa the hereafter according to gdUty of any criminal negligence, I the way some people are judging the understand that his wife took a war rant for htm for failure to support her and the children in W. Vs., if I was not tied up in my law practice here and knew when the' trial was, I .would come over there and help him out,' All the criticism I have heard a- r bout Charley was that he ought to make his wife straighten up and clean the children up better, and that he sometimes boasted a little about where he had been and preached, this trait ; he- inherited from his ' father Everybody believe. that he' la good -.

He states he told the public that he would militarize the town and to save this belngtlone; they gave iirim six guards. He states he took an officer, went to Rev. McFee's home, called him out and intended to whip him but he fled back in his home, the trouble was over the report that should have start ed at Hot Springs. Anyone panting to know the facts can ask the public at Hot Springs. He stated on his re turnj irpm W.
