The InfeIIisepcer Sold.

As we go to press we learn that for
a certainty the Mexico Intelligencer
has been sold to S. B. Cook, formerly
of the Warrenton Banner. We have
personally known Sam Gas he is
known by his many friends
all over the state) for many years.
is q born Democratic journalist
and has had several years experience
in editing and managing a newspaper.
So he is not a novice in the business.
He is not only a successful Journalist
but is a genial gentleman, as any one
has to be that succeeds in the pro-
fession he has chosen.
Cook will make the InteRigeneer q
high-toned, unprejudleed, red-hot
Democratic paper and will always be
found fighting for pure, interrupted
Democracy without regard to friend:
or factions. There will never be but
one strife between the Intelligence
and LEDGER (Which will please tht
readers of both papers) and that vii
be which can give the most news. Boil
papers will always be for their part,
and not for their friends. The good o
the party, and not the good of any in
dividual, will always be the platform o
any influence welded by either paper
If this is not the case then we ar
mistaken in both Sam Cook and Bol
| White.

An Apology In Order.

Hon. D. H. Mcintyre was charged
by some ~irrepressible newspaper with
accepting passes over railroads while
holding a state Office. Unwilling to
rest under so grave a charge, he pub
lished a card in which he disclaimed
ever having taken a pass while hold
ing an office, and said further that
while making the canvass for ~re-elec-
ton and while discharging the duties
of the attorney-generalship although
frequently offered passes he had in
variabiy refused them and had paid
full fare wherever he went. No man
has greater respect for his oath Or
stands more upon his honor as a gen.
tleman than Gen. Mcintyre. He is
incapable of doing a dishonest or dis
honorable act and the man who pre-
fers any such charges against him
does so at his peril. No man ever
left Office with cleaner hands Or a
Purer record.-Lagrange Democrat.
The charge was made in the Mexico
Itelligencer by prosecuting attorney
T. B. Buckner, who has confessed to
what he tried to charge Hon. D. II.

Last year Walter Cots worked for
the Mead Mercantile company, and
received for his labor 1912. Out of
this he supported his family and at
the end of the year loaned out of it
just 5000. We do not remember of
having seen him when he was not
presentable, and his family was well
provided for also. The secret is that

he was compelled to have, and he al

true that he had no house rent to pay

The following letter from General Mas
ter Mechanic Barnes, of the Wabash, and
the subjoined answer was published in
yesterdays issue of the indianapolis
Journal.
To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal
My attention has been called to an item
in your Sunday august 16) edition, I'M
der head, "Railway Gossip" This item
purpOrts to be a copy of an order or
agreement which persons are required to
sign before being allowed the privilege
OF working for our company.
This statement and article is a malici-
Gus lie, and, having its due weight with
certain classes, we would kindly ask you
to please correct same in next issue.
This article has been going the rounds
for some time, yet have the first COPY to
see outside of newspapers. If such an
article be in circulation, it has it's origin
outside of those in authority on this line.
We make no distinction in the men we
employ, care nothing for their views on
any subject, neither do we care to what
order they belong. All we ask of them is
to act as gentlemen, work like men, and
they will be treated as such. No man ever
signed or was asked to sign any agree
ment to get employment with US. We
simply claim the right to control our
business the same as you control yours,
object to be dictated to by any order as
an organization. You will readily see
our position, and hope you will give us an
impartial notice.

The Gazette defes the Indianapolis

or any one else to furnish a copy of the
paper containing the article alleged, and
the statement that the same had been
posted up in the shops. Nothing of the
kind has ever been published in the Ga
zette. At the commencement of the Sec
ond difficulty between the company and
its employees, when certain men were re-
fused work, the charge was openly made
that they were black listed for being in

Dor, and also that every n taking a posi-
ton in the shops was compelled to sign
the document mentioned above. The Ga
zette at the time referred to these state

SKY ROCKET DAMAGES.
A Case Somewhat Like DoWell's.

In view of the cas- brought by
Dowell of this county for damages
from a sky rocket inflicted during a
Cleveland celebration in Mexico, we
clip an extract found below. The
cases are nearly parallel except that
in Audrain the fireworks were not
on property over which the city had
any control, while in Atlanta the
fireworks were turned loose from the
street over which the city had con-
troll. The clipping we refer to is as
follows and is from the Atlanta Con-
stitution:
When Mr.. Samuel J.. Randall came
down to Atlanta last November to
join in the great jubilation over the
election of Cleveland and Hendricks,
there assembled in this city one of
the greatest crowds ever seer here.
Mr.. Randall and the other orators of
the occasion spoke from the balcony
of the opera house to 10000 people.
Among these was Mr.. Thomas Beau
champ, who has entered suit against
the city for $4,000 for damages re-
ceived on the evening of the jubilee.
Mr.. Beauchamp says that the city
had no right to allow the streets to
be blocked as they were by a political
meeting on that night, and that local
authorities were further at fault in
permitting the explosion of fireworks
in front of the Capitol. He alleges
that one Of the rockets used as an
expression of Democratic rejoicing
struck him in the face and inflicted
very painful and serious Injuries up
on him He vas confined to his bed
for weeks. For his direct peculiarly
losses, for his physical sufferings and
the damages to his health he brings
suit to recover $4,000. The case
will be tried at the October term of
Fulton Superior Court.

Collins Hanged.

Samuel W. Collins, the murderer
of Owen Utterback, was hanged at
Bowling Green last Friday morning
at 1O:15. At $40 the death warrant
was read to the condemned in his
cell in the Jail. Reaching the scat
fold at 10 o'clock the condemned
man proceeded up the steps without
showing the slightest tremor or evil
dence Of weakening. After bidding
those on the scaffold good bye, the
black cap was adjusted, and at 1915
Sheriff Fielder sprung the lever and
the soul of cold-blooded, deliberate
murderer was hurled into eternity.
The body fell sever feet, breaking
the victims neck, and in twelve and
a half minutes the doctors pronounced
him dead, and the body was cut
down. Save a few convulsive Jerks
of the legs and q twitching of the
arms, his death seemed to be easy.
Never, perhaps, was a man hanged
who showed a better, stronger nerve
and determination to meet his fate
manly than he. The body was turned
over to friends and taken to Middle
town, his old home, for interment.
Mrs. Utterback, wife of Collins vic,
tim, was present and witnessed the
execution. There were probably
5000 persons who witnessed the
horrible affair, many of them being
women who could not resist a morbid
curiosity to see a man hanged.
