In witness whereof [ hereby subscribe
my name, this the LIST day OF February,
1898. ROBERT P. PORTER,
Superintendent Of Census.
After the introduction Of the above
certificate, Judge B. Nc. Gross, attor-
ney present for Thos E. Watson, az,
nounced that the taking Of contesE
ants direct testimony would close,
as the allotted time had about ex-
pired.
The papers said of this that it was
heard with sigh Of relief. There
is no doubt of 1t. Any more would
have crushed the Democratic wor-
shippers present to the earth. I'M
perfect in completion, it is yet over
whelming in volume, and especially
in it's proof of rottenness in the late
national election. The opposition
hindered as much being given in as
possible, and doubtless breathed
easier when the contestants time for
taking testimony had expired.
Major Black had forty days from
Mr. Watson's close to gather evidence
in rebuttal and to introduce evidence
to prove the charges made against
the contestant as contained in his re-
ioinder. It is understood that Major
Blacks attorneys will open up their
side Of the case soon. At its conclu-
sion Mr.. Watson has ten days for re-
buttal, and the readers can look out
for something rich and racy.
In conclusion, it becomes us to say
that Mr.. Black was present during
the taking of the evidence reported
from week to week, and that he has
been uniformly courteous and gentle
manly with MIR. Watson's attorneys.
We wish we could say as much
about every one else connected with
the taking Of evidence. Possibly
more anon.

say how much slush fund was sub
scribed, and did hot know how same
was used.
Boykin Wright testified that he
was chairman of the Young Mems
Democratic League and gave $500 to
the slush fund besides his time,
talents and brain. Said he did not
know how much slush fund was
raised. Said the legitimate expenses
of the campaign were great and too
numerous to mention. Spent large
sums for educational purposes. Did
not think any appreciate amount was
spent for whisky. Out Of respect for

any one saw repeating, they could

impossible to distinguish negroes.
Denied every charge made against
him by all witnesses, and, in his
cross by Mr.. Blacks attorney, he
occupied the whole day in delivering
himself of eulogy on his party, their
leaders, their principles and himself.
AL through this cross he was
anxious to get off, while he yet re-
manned until too late to place any
other witness on the sand.
Mr.. Watson's lawyers here offered
a certified copy from the superintend-
ent of the Eleventh Census showing

of the Tenth Congressional District

Somewhat of sensation was
caused by the sudden disappearance
of Mr.. L. B. Price, of Grants point,
on Wednesday afternoon. He left
his ginner in charge of his gin, tell
ing him he would only be gone a
few minutes, and to keep the gin
going until he got back. The GIN
ner made things hum until about
9 o'clock at night, and then conclud-
ed to shut down steam and find out
why Mr.. Price had not returned.
The alarm was raised, and two or
three parties from Colfax went
over to join in the hunt. 1t turned
out that the missing man had gone
on hasty trip to Clouterville, to
attend to some urgent business. He
showed up Thursday morning, and
said he didn't see why his wife
and friends should raise such a
rumpus over his taking a little ten
mile trip.
