FROM CANTON.

Ed. RECORD "A few lines from this
section will, perhaps, find an acceptable
place in your columns.
The people are getting along very we'll
with their work, considering the dry
weather we had few days back and the
heavy rains and storms since. Spring
river and .other streams have been on
rhigh"- higher than theyJ had been for
several years. | have not heard the par
ticulars of the damage done by them.
Our hillside lands, however, were consid
ably washed.
The storm last Sunday night was the
most destructive that has ever visited this
section of country, great damage being
done to fencing, buildings, etc. Rev. H. B.
Cunningham's mill was washed away,
Murphy & Jones' distillery was considera-
bly, damaged, the new addition to the
Murphy & Hubbell gin was blown down,
and six or seven bales of seed cotton in
it destroyed; Mrs. Fore's and VIM. Will
lifords dwelling houses were blown down,
ard number of others considerably
damaged. We learn that the storm was
fully as destructive on Martin creek as
here. Respectfully,

"A lack of space forbids our referring

"A lack of space torblds our referring
at length to the speeches made by the can
didates for governor, at this place last
Saturday; hence we will only state,
briefly, the sentiment Of the people as af-
feeted by their visit here. 1t is this
Gov. Miller's old fsiends, with few excep-
tions, are still for him and third term,
but are not very hopeful. Co.. Fishback,
with his sleek, spry, .knobby, hobby repu-
diation pony, attracted considerable at
tention and gained some admiration. Col.
Smitbee made a good impression upon
his hearers, kinalsa enthusiasm in the
breasts of his old friends and fellow
eounty-men, and rendered his success in
the county nominating convention dOubly
sure. Hurrah for Sqithee!
Attention is diretted to the announce.
ments of Rev. j. l.. Short, of RichwoodS
township, and Robert Gray, of Evening
Shade-the first named as candidate for
representative, and the latter for sheriff.
We will have more to say in regard to
these gentlemen, as we'll as others who may
offer themselves for the same positions,
when space, inclination and other crcum-
stances may dictate. Jp the meantime,
others (if there be any who are willing
to serve the people, are invited to make
known their candidacy, through the col
umns of the RECORD, II the regular pub
lished rates. Just call to memory the
story of the "early bird" and don't be
backward.
Later.-The announcement of Mr.. 7. j,
Davidson, our present circuit and county
clerk, for reelection, will also be found
along with those above referred to. Mem
ton will be made of dis claims upon the
people, at the proper time.
The editor Of the Lawrence County
Times, in pathetically persuasive dun,
tells his subscription patrons that "mer
chants are not apt 10 credit newspaper
men, and In order tJ}f-keep adoat we are
obliged to ask those who owe US to come in
with the little amount and help us out"
Well, now, Bro. Shotwell, you have "done
gone and done it''-let out the secret
which we should all strive to conceal,
namely, that newspaper publishers are
looked upon with distrust by their fellow
men, and particularly by their town mer-
chants, with whom they are apt to be
most intimately acquainted. Please don't
DO so any more 'ali the while" Ell?

A Good CITIZEN Going.

We regret much to learn that Mr..
V. l.. Williams finds it to his inter
est to transfer his business to Nash
vile, to which city he proposes to
move with the New Year. We are
gratified to 4earn that he hopes to
improve his fortune by the change,
but he is a good citizen. Those who
desire to purchase boots, hats, shoes
and caps cheap, will now have a
good chance as he is selling off his
stock strictly at cost. Volney Will
liams has been a prosperous man
here; do you know why, young
man? He has been the most liberal
of his means in town.

Our Erin friends seem to have
been well cleaned-out-un Monday
night or Tuesday morning 4 bods
of men, number unknown, made. i
raid on the village in force and took
what they could ind in three of the
principal stores. A question las
been raised whether they were pro
fessional or amateur burglars. To
! us there Is ~; debit on that head
they were bungling novices. Their
first step. was TO levy on a black
smiths shop, where they supplied
themselves with tools for operations
elsewhere. With these they broke
open the stores in which nobody
slept and demolished the locks and
fastenings Of the safes, cleaning
them out of their contents. In one
instance they had to use gun-powder
to get the safe open.
The stores visited were those of
Harris q Buquo, G.. +. Raucher
and Moore q Atkinson, the latter
firm being owners of the safe which
required gnn-powder to open it.
The losses were Harris d Buquo,
1916 in cash and $500 in notes, ETC.;
Mr.. Raucher, 1925, and Moore d
Atkinson, $500. They took time to
separate the paper which was valu-
able from that which they could not
use, leaving the latter scattered
round loose.
One man has been traced to Mi
Ian and arrested with SOS on him.
The evidence is that he and another
man got on the train at Erin,
jumped off about twenty miles south
of that place, made their way to
Paris, where they again boarded
the train and travelled thence to
Milan.
There were traces of blood on the
books and papers taken from the
safe of which powder had been used,
as if one of the men had been
and the man arrested has
a wound on his nose, probably re-
ceived at the explosion.
The whole thing looks unprofes-
sional a professional burglar would
have carried his own tools with him,
and not relied upon getting what he |
wanted at blacksmith's shop. 1t /
is our impression that il will turn
out to be the work Of some enter
prislng youths whose minds were
saturated with dime-novels, and I
who considered themselves as max I
ing their debut in the character of I
gentlemen burglars. They evident
y knew the place well and its local
features, and probably were not far
rom home. The robbery was bold
but not skilful.
