fetal conduct. An ARDMoRETrE
reporter today sought out His
Honor and asked him If he had
anything 10 say why sentence Of

nounced upon him. With an
approach To the subject Of war
Judge Kilgore's pompadour
rose in more majestic promin-
ence, and with defiance flashing
from his eyes he spake as fol-
lows:
I returned from Washington az
noon on Sunday, and on yesterday I
managed TO go through a dismal tale
Of woe told by one West OF this place,
10 the Department Of Justice, much
OF which he has given 20 the local
public one way or the other; the
original OF which was recently mall
ed TO me by the Department. The
grievance he has against me IL that
have not conducted the business OF
the court exactly In accord with his
wishes, and that have not always
ruled 20 his liking. The real ground
OF his complaint against me is that
he has lost n few OF the very few
cases he has had TN the United States
court since have been on the bench.
n the complaint that some Of his
clients prefer against him be true
they are just as well on whether he
wins OF loses.
In detailing the facts upon which
he relies to establish the charges, be
has exhibited an entire want Of re-
gard for the truth. Many Of his
statements are false from beginning
to hnish. They are the creations Of
the brain and Imagination Of q man
much given TO falsifying. when be
has undertaken to detail the facts OF
any case, he has wilfully and mali
ciously perverted the truth and misre-
presented and maligned me, and isas
much a falsifier In such cases as In
the other portions OF his mendacious
statements.
Why he should assail the District
Attorney In his peculiar attack on
me is past my comprehension The
District Attorney, however. can take
care Of himself in controversy with
any average shyster.
The LAWYERS of this district know
that there - court OF appeals whose
duty Il r. 20 revise errors committed
by trial courts. and they carry their
grievances TO that court after urging
a motion for new trial. desire 10
give notice TO the shysters Of this
district that there Is such q court IA
existence, and that appeals may be
prosecuted e. that court instead Of
to the Department Of Justice.

Cant. A. r. Fox.

Elsewhere we publish the announce
ment OF the candidacy Of lion. A. T.
Fox of West Point, Clay Co., for the
Democratic nomination tor Congress.
Mr.. Fox IL q distinguished Mississ-
ippimn and is now in the very prime oil
a vigorous manhood. He is already n
well-known citizen of tho district and
enjoys wide circle of friends and ac-
quainIances in Grenada. Calhoun, Cal.
houn and Webster and indeed in near
ly all the adjoining COUPLES. HisyoNih
houn and Webster counties and his pa.
rents, were among the first settlers in
his immediate section of tho state
He has from his first days of action
and usefulness been identified aud in
relation with the people OF tho circle
10 which this county belongs.
Wherever he lives he always wins
and deserves the confidence of those
who know him. IIo is regarded by his
friends rs the soul of honor and fldcl-
ity and his abilities are universally
conceded. lie has filed various posi-
lions of honor and distinction with
great usefulness 10 his people and with
distinguished credit to himself. His
untiring labors have ever been at the
command Of his party and his voice
has ever been heard in every conflict
in the conscientious, eloquent but kind
ly aud generous advocacy OF tho best
principles of the Democracy.
Mr.. Fox is omincnily a man of the
people. lie makes no falso pretentions
because of this fact aud does not 1aunt
his life in tho eyes of the world con-
scious OF the fact that the character b Q
has established is one to be worthily
worn by. an upright gentleman he is
content to bo judged ON his merits
such as they may DO. But he rose by
his own efforts superior TO the disad-
vantagos OF lack OF fortune he worked
for his education and worked to max o
it substantial aud complete. lilo has
tsed thc talents given him with infcx
il1le integrity. and 10 regarded to-day
by many Of his friends a true type of
brave. gentle. intellectual aud honora.
bic Southern manhood.
There will probably be many aspi
rants for this honor but in Mr.. Fox
each and all will find a WORTHY and
formidable competitor.-Grenada SEN
