take a hand. The result was a eompro-
mise. by which was christened Bill Nye,
and the name has chung to me.
L am not especially proud of the name,
for it conveys the idea to strangers that
l am a laWless. profane and dangerous
man. People who judge me by the brief
and bloody name alone instinctiYely
shudder and examine their firearms. 1t
suggests daring, debauchery and defiance
to the law. Little children are called in
when l am known to be at large. and a
day of fasting is announced by the gov
ernor of the state. Strangers seek to en-
terrain me by showing me the choice
iniquties of their town. Eminent GRIM
mails ask me to attend their execution
and assist them in accepting their re-
speetive dooms. Amateur criminals ask
me 30 revise their work and to suggest
improvements.
All this is the cruel result of an acct
dent, for l am not that kind of a man.
Had my work been the same, done over
the signature of TAX Payer or ''VoX
Populi," how different might have been
the result! Seeking as | am. in my poor,
weak way, to make folly appear foolish
and to make men better by speaking dis
respectfully of their errors, | do not de-
serve to be regarded. even by strangers,
as a tough or a terror, but rather as a
plain, lava biding American citizen, who
begs leave to subscribe himself, yours,

DISHONEST SUGGESTIONS.

A suggestion has been made, born in
deprayed mind, that there are populites
who would come into the primaries with
no bona fide intention of supporting the
nominee, but merely to assist in nominal
ing Mr.. Clarke, with the idea that he
would be more easily beaten than john
ston. Such is not the case. Those who
return, as they did in Morgan, will vote
for the candidate of their choice with the
bona flde intention of supporting the
nominee.
A few toughs about town might be
Secured" to attempt to participate in the
democratic primaries with no purpose
of supporting the nominees, as they
would be morally bound to do. but all
such will be spotted and challenged.
There is nothing in the suggestion; it is
predicated upon a false theory and those
base creatures, as well as those who
would urge them to make the dishonest
attempt, would be forever damned in the
eyes of all honest people.

BILL NYE's AUTOBIOGRAPHY.

On one occasion Mr. Nye sent to Eli
Perkins the following note. which gives
a true history of his family:
Dear Eli: You ask me how came to
adopt the nom de plume of Bill Nye, and
l can truthfully reply that l did not do so
at all.
My first work was done on a territorial
paper in the Rocky mountains some
twelve years ago, and was not signed.
The style, or rather the lack of it, pro-
yoked some comment and two or three
personal encounters. Other papers be-
gan to wonder who was responsible, and
various names were assigned by them as
the proper one, among them Henry Nye,
James Nye, Robert Nye, etc., and a gen.
eral discussion arose, in which did not

The fifty-third annual statement of

The fifty-third annual statement of
the Mutual Life Insurance company of
New York has just been Issued showing
the operations of the company for the
year 1895. The figures speak for them
selves and are so extraordinary In their
magnitude is to make it worthy of the
special consideration not only of those
who are insured in this great company,
but of those who are interested in the
progress of this, the greatest of our
American financial Institutions.
The company paid to holders of its pol
icies on account of claims by death $12,-
239, 1924, and for endowments, annuities,
dividends ana other payments to living
members $10,SS7 56411. 1t increased its

payment of all claims. from 1882 109, 456. IA
to 1874. 347 157. 5S, an addition for the year
of 1881. 701. A.
The results for 1895 show increased Sc
curity and permanent benefits to every
member of this great company. These
stupendous figures show the hold that
the company has upon the confidence of
the insuring public and show that 1t
seeks, in constantly increasing ratio. the
benefit to be derived from the protection
offered by this, the greatest Of all the
companies.

AS against the uncorroborated eX parte
statement of the Advertisers hired man,
McIver, who not only has confessed that
his charges could not be substantiated,
but who is fatty contradicted by at least
half a dozen reliable men as to material
facts, the democrats of Morgan county
offer the written testimony of Mr.. w. A.
Petty a Clarke man, who says that he
was a clerk of the election at the Decatur
box, and was present constantly when
the vote was being polled and counted,
and that every vote cast for Mr.. Clarke
was counted as deposited" Further
more, the three inspectors and the other
clerk, all men of the highest character
and standing, fully corroborate Mr.. Pet.

IT was introduced to Mr.. McIver by
Mr.. J. c. Eyster. Mr.. McIver said: Mr..
Wallace, want to apologize to you for the
statement that appeared in the Mont
gomery Advertiser Sunday, March 8, con-
corning you. l will also state through
the Advertiser that you and your friends
deny the charge made in said Advertiser
by me (McIver).' I (Wallace) said to Mr..
McIver. is that alp Mr.. McIver said:
Isn't that enough?' 1 CWallace) said:
NO: YOU MUST ALSO STATE
THROUGH THE COLUMNS OF THE
ADVERTISER THAT YOU (MIvER)
COULD NOT SUBSTANTIATE SAID
CHARGES McIver then said: YES;
I WILL DO THAT. Does that settle it?'
(Wallace) replied: Yes, as far as Pam
concerned; If you make that statement
that will settle it. McIver then offered
his hand, which I accepted, believing
him to be sincere in his promises. This
statement was made in the presence of
w. E. Todd J. w. Tyler, Herbert Cart
wright and t. F. Turley. AS to how well
Mr. McIver kept his promise I leave a
just and honest public to judge.

There is no fight between the Adver-
tiser and this paper concerning the Nor
gan county primaries. The controversy
is between that paper and the democrats
of Morgan county. What we have done
has been in defense of the honor and in
tegrity of those people who have them
selves furnished evidence from Mr..
Clarke's own supporters which demon
strates beyond a reasonable doubt that
the charge of fraud is absolutely false
and without foundation.

politicians.
