THE "RURIED HATCHET..
Huttnns Ignoring His Retters Simply
Ignorance.

their pleasure at ''Hutton and White
having buried the hatchet." We
are sorry that the Colonel marked the
spot and left the handle out. The
Colonel has resumed his old plan of
ignoring" He ignores the news;
he ignores his friends; he ignores
White; in fact, he ignores everything
but himself and his pomposlty. Dur
ing the campaign he ignored your
servant when secretary of the
County Executive Committee-pub-
fishing the calls without our name as
secretary. This simply afforded us
amusement, to think he would be SO
childish. Last week, in his report
Of the Congressional Convention he
gave the names of the chairman,
delegates, committees, but studious-
ly ignored your writer, who was Sec
retary. We can't see the ColonePs
object in this tiresome, studious ig-
noring of your writer. Does he want |
to get even with the world? He has
way of annihilatlng-blotting out
of existence, as it were-any man
whom he chooses, by ignoring them.
When Charlie Hardin beat him for
Office, he ignored him. 1t was a
death 60 blow to Hardin. We could
point to number of leading citizens
who are ''nobodys" because Hutton
ignored them. The day before we
went into the newspaper business,
Hutton was our friend-the next day
he snubbed us and has tried nard
to ignore us ever since. This is
about the only thing he ever came
anywhere near being successful in.
He failed in this at the county con-
vention and we hoped he would give
it up in disgust. We We're ready to
be friends and thought the ''hatchet
was buried" but he is at his old
game again. We are very sorry that
he thinks he can kill man or Il pa
per by ignoring it; we hate to see
man such fool and bigot as that.
He never has kind word for poll
tlelan in the county-simply because
he is jealous of them, from the lowest
to the highest Office. Hutton has
been very successful in his ignorance
in ignoring, and at the same time he
has suffered from his own weapon in
the hands of others. This is one
thing that was the matter with him in
the report of the congressional con-
vention. He has been candidate
all his life. The people always ig-
nored him. When farmer the ele-
ments ignored him and he was fail
ure- AS teacher the patrons ignor-
ed hun. He became lawer and
his clients ignored him. He then be.
came doctor when his patients ig.
nored him. Ali the world ignoring
him, he started a newspaper and evel

This season he ran for Lieutenant
Governor few weeks; the State ig
norged him. He then ran for Con
gress; the district ignored him
each and every county ignored him
