other enterprises with disastrous results
and more recently, We have built as fine
desk and seating manufacturing plant
as can be found anywhere, which through
lack of spirit, enterprise or capital or all

IT is really surprising how mems mo.
tives may be misc onstrued and their
actions misunderstood. It now trans
pires that the State Board of Control had
only two Of It's members " ho favored the
election of Col. Knight TO the United
States senate. Two we're for, Mitchell
and one was actually for Bragg. The re-
publican didn't count. The Bragg man
on the board did not bestir himself very
much. he was "a mute luglorious Mil
ton" Compare his inactivity with the
lively dumping which must have been
done by the two only and original
Knight men. That Bragg man should
have been ashamed of himself, that be
didn't squeak out some little expression
OF preference while the fight was on. He
might have gone behind barn and sworn
with some feeling and perchance some
wayfarer might have heard him and ''re-
ported him and his cause Alright" 1t was
a darned shame TO smother HIM in that
way. The two Knight men must be hum
mers TO swing that board divided into
four factions. for of course the republi-
can was faction as we'll as the Bragg
man. But the Knight men were the only
ones who spoke loud enough to be heard.
and they Just shouted. How that Bragg
man must have wished he had had the
voice culture Of his two associates who
didn't wait until after the fight was over
to announce on which side they fit"
Possibly that Bragg man VAS slow 10
wrath aud that he is just getting warm
Ell up now. Ii that is so, he'll explode
pretty soon and then all tarnation can't
stop him. When these quiet fellows get
started they keep & moyin.' When that
Bragg man finds his tongue it viii be
used for some other purpose than sval-
lowing victuais. He isn't fairly we'll &C.
quainted with himself yet, but now that
il is announced that be lives and moves
and has a being, lie Will make more noise
