Regarding paragraph which ap-
peared in the Salem column of yester-
days TIMES, 8. M. Martin, the College
avenue dry goods merchant, wishes to
state that the paragraph was mislead-
ing. He did not tell Mr.. Frank Oben.
chain that his services were no longer
needed, nor did he object in the least to
the prompt manner in which he obeyed
orders to go with his company to Poca-
hontas. That was his duty, and Mr..
Martin thinks that Mr.. Obenchain
would have failed to do his duty II he
had not gone, for he was Confederate
soldier himself and knows that good
soldier obevs orders. When Mr.. Oben-
chain left it was not known whether he
would be gone thirty or ninety days,
and his place had to be filled, which
was done by employing competent
gentleman whose services could not
we'll be dispensed with just upon Mr..
Obenchsin's return. Mr.. Martin simply
wishes to make this statement to corr
rect wrong impression that the para
graph mentioned conveys.
Only few more days remain now to
election, and the knowing ones confess
that the outlook Is decidedly mixed, nor
would they be surprised II those elect
are OF different politics, but as to how
many Democrats or how many Repub
iicans they are loath to predict. AS
usual, the Republicans arc working in
dustriously, and, whilst their opponents
are not sleeping, yet IL they desire to
poll full vote they will have to "get a
hump" on themselves In the few DAYS
left. II the weather Is fairly fine q very
full vote will be polled for the candi-
dates OF both parties have shaken every
bush In every crag and hollow in the
county, and there will be few to stay at
home next Thursday. Judging from
the appearance of the streets during the
past week some Of the candidates have
been more or less literally bled, and
there will be few who will doubtless
be thankful when the whole tiresome
business Is over and the wicked cease
from troubling and the weary are at
rest"
