A Card from Mr. w. H. Hare.

Mr.. EDiToR: Please allow me
space to make q correction con-
cerning report that has gained
currency in our section, based upon
a communication in the Lexington
Dispatch, entitled "Why Tillman
Wont do and Sheppard WILL
That title, invented by the Dis
patch, tends to make people be-
lieve that I am Sheppardite. Such
is not the case, 1 simply took oc-
casion to mention a few objections
to Ben ,Tillman as man, but had
no fault to find with the Admins
tration so far as he is concerned,
Ihave always been an advocate
of the Farmers Movement, and
that is why I voted for Tillman
two years ago, and because OF
those same principles I shall vote
for him again. I did not say shep.
pard would do any better than
Tillman would, and as my objec.
tions to him (Tillman) are merely
personal they do not prevent me
from supporting the movement.
