the November Drawing of
The Louisiana state Lottery.
Upon hearing several days ago
that Casey Chapman, of this place,
had drawn $4,000 in the November
drawing of The Louisiana State
Lottery, a reporter was Immediate
ly sent in search of Mr.. Chapman
and upon asking as to its authentic
ity was told the following:
ayes, it is true that I held one
twentieth of ticket No. 1857 IN the
November drawing of The Lou
isiana State Lottery which drew
the capital prize of $4,000"
"Did any one "stand in" with
your" was asked.
Yes, Mr.. Waller Mason and my
self went in together, each send
ing one dollar and getting two one
twentieth tickets of different num-
bers," he replied.
"Have you received the money!"
ave have. The lucky ticket was
forwarded by the Union County
National Bank and several days
later we received New York ex-
change for the full amount, 800
without any deduction whatever,
not even having to pay for the ex=
change"
"Have you ever invested in the
lottery before, Mr.. Chapman2p
ayes, and have been remarkably
lucky, too. 1 have gone into the
lottery four different times-send-
ing one dollar each time-and have
drawn four prizes"
Mr.. Chapman is well-known in
this community and Mr.. Waller
Mason is one of our most prominent
dry goods merchants. Both are in
good financial circumstances.
Union county has seemingly been
favored by The Louisiana State
Lottery in a remarkable degree
S11 900 having been drawn by one
of her citizens several years ago and
numerous other prizes-aggregat-
ingy probably, between $50, 900 and
sT5, OOC-having been distributed

The ''White Caps of Ohio sur
pass in violence and lawlessness the
busiest days of Ku Kluxism, or the
Red Men. Nevertheless as Ohio is
north of the Ohio river the outrages
practiced by these people are pass
ed over as of no serious moment. 1t
is only those occurrences of violence
in the solid South that are worth
discussing in Congress, and receive
double leaders in the editorial col
umns OF the g. o. p. press. These
White Caps have horsewhipped
women, beaten men run some peo-
pie from their homes and from the
country, but as it was done in the
land of Foraker and loyalty, it is
hardly worth u notice.-Parkersburg

We are of the opinion that Hon.
John E. Kenna Will succeed himself
as United States Senator. There is
no good reason why he should not.
If the Democrats are united in the
Legislature, and there is no "kick-
ing" this time, and all will 90 into
Ebe caucus and abide by it's results,
there will be no trouble about a
Democrat representing us in the
next Senate, and that Democrat will

A Compliment to a Worthy
Man.

a dispatch to- the Wheeling Reg
lister from this city relative to the
contest over the returns of this
county, says $50 far as Judge
Guthrie's probable action in the
premises will be, not much is said,
but there is an awful sight of think
ing"
Judge Guthrie is a Republican
when eff the bench, but not when
on it. The Democrats who know
and understand him have no fear
that his course in the matter will
be marked by any political preju-
dice. No Judge who ever sat on
our Circuit Court bench was ever
more rigidIy Impartial or fearless m
his decisions than he, and if it
should appear to him that the law
is with the Republicans, while it
may be our privilege to differ, we
certainly will not attribute to him
any other than just motives, and
conscientious regard for his duty

Smart fellow is Steve Ellins. He
wants TO get in the Harrison Cabi-

Golf. Golf gets into the gubernato-
rial contest and his ambition sug-
gests political methods whose prag-
tice precipitates him into a hopeless
post-election contest. Genial Ste
phen catches on to the situation. IF
he can keep Golf there he is effect
ually side-tracked. He will be deep
