said that he was not there to tell Jokes
and campaign lies. Some Wolfe county
Republicans were doing their bc.t TO be.
lieve his story, but guess by this time
they have given 1t up. 1sf
Mr. Broas aud w. w. Mcclure also
filled their appointments here last Satur.
day, speaking on the railroad question.
They were very much discouraged by
finding so much opposition in the county
against the tax, and Mr. Broas said that
the prospects of the road being con.
structed now was indeed very slim, and
most every one that heard them speak
here are now satisfied that if the tax 10
not voted that the road will not be built
now. 1t does seem to me that our people
cannot afford to miss this opportunity OF
getting railroad.
1t is said by some that tho interest on
the bonds will "eat us up" but little
study would satisfy any one of the foot
ishness Of such statement The inter-
est on the bonds would be 81 500 year.
Now the road alone only lacks S44 of
paying this interest every year. Satisfy
yourself Of this by counting twenty six
miles of railroad in the county at $1,000
per mile, making $4,000. Then levy
of Soc. advalorem brings us $l4.56. Now,
as this levy is made every year, and the
interest is to be paid every six months,
don't you see that the interest capnot ac-'
cumulate. That being true, don't any
body know that Morgan county can pay
the principal any time, especially when
we are allowed to pay it in 81 900 pay
ments, if we prefer. So, don't give il up
yet, but think over the matter again and
vote for the tax. lf a

for Judge In this county, WINS also OH the
stump at this place last Saturday. He
makes some things which are connected
with O. .. McKenzie's previous adminis-
tration look real ugly. During that time
there was several thousand dollars of
public money misappropriated, or at least
there is nothing to show for 1t, and our
people are somewhat bothered about the
matter. There is also great deal being
said about his bottle and concubinage;
and if all these reports be true, how in
the name of God can the christian and
moral people of this county afford to vote
for him?
If some of our people are not careful
they will be caught in lie. Not long
since quite number OF voters in this
county, of their own free will and accord,
signed pledge that they would not vote
for any man to fill county office who
used liquor or money to secure his elec-
ton. Who was it that had whiskey
shipped to this county by the barrel, and
had his sheep roasts (Which cost money!
