ture the united schools. Last Sunday was lhc
day in course at the Baptist church and the
superintendent OF that school had invited
Mr.. II S. Morgan. Of Grcenvi!le, to deliver the

The communication in last weeks issue OF
the Press and Banner signed "AgitatOr" sounds
like "hopcs disappointed" or perhaps u is the
outgrowLh OF n vain attempt TO pull the WOO
over the eyes Of an intelligent people. Yes II
is true that 'the representatives thus far cho,
sen are sound on the prohibition question.
and we are sure now that we Will have
chance TO vote the stuff out OF Abberille
County. We also believe that the advocates
of this measure are In the majority. Like
wise men they have trimmed their lamps ana
| cckOned their hosts. and before the thing Is
over "Agitator' will find out that the "olt
church iogies and cranks' have II wonderful
amount OF strength and influence, and that
the friends OF this measure also have "thc es
sential requisites to enter this contest u. c.

some of the enemies of Capt. james \. King,

man and have voted for him more than once,
with my ncighb0r and personal friend Tho
attempt to beat Capt. King by such reports Is
too prcposterous Capt. King served through
the entire war with honor TO himself and
credit to his State, and the falslty of such re-
ports is too patent. We trust Capt. Kings
friends throughout the county will correct
this warranthble slander wherever they
hear II.
Mrs. Ransom Chnnv, Of "Cow Grove" who
