Friend Pedagogue is certainly a

My friend says I am a political
turncoat. am not thrusting my
private opinions on the public,
wish to state facts. l will say that
for awhile | was not a supporter of
Mr.. Tillman in all is views. All
along I agreed with him on State
issues. 4 ** But to return;
Pedagogue said not four months
ago that he wished every school
district were at the bottom of the
Atlantic. Yet last year, I heard

make powerful appeal for school
districts. I can prove this by three
or four substantial citizens. One
of my friends told me not long
since in an authoritative to let
Pedagogue alone; for said he,
"He's crazy" l honestly believe it;
for he makes the widest, the most
uncalled for statements imagina-
BILE. He went out of his way to
attack the preachers; he brought

"Diogenes was patriot" he was

"You will always find me on my

thought you were in 1t "for the

merely wish to state to friend
Dido that my failing TO reply was
because thought the public was
sick of the subject. She brings
up Solomon to prove that W. S.

She ovorlooks the fact that some

Doesn't everybody know that
politicians will testify to the good

the women are a controlling fac-
tor in any election does she sup
pose that Governor is going to
say anything against their fitness
to vote. Not bit of it. He wants
those women to vote for him and
wouldn't hurt their feelings for
the world. That legislature which
passed those commendaiory reso-

posed largely of women aud men
who didn't care about exciting the
ire of their female constituents,
and was intended more to pleas
the "wimmen voters" than t" edl-
