campaign between himself and

Sutherlin read the anonymous cir

every statement in it as a malicious
lie, and its author as a cowardly,
villainous liar. Breazeale arose
and said that two of the allega-
tons in said circular were true,
and whoever disputed them was q
liar. Sutherlin struck at him and
he parted back, but both were
checked by friends and quiet res
tored. Sutberlin said he had sub
mitted to vicious, cowardly attacks
on his character until patience had
ceased to be a virtue, and would
put up with no more of it.

nation into the contest That threat
ems to provoke more than one re-
sort to the proceedings ''usual

ment Of controversies that have
passed beyond the stage of argu-
ment on tho stamp or in The news

with very few exceptions, is sup
porting Hon. E. w. Sutherlin for
the nomination-and, by tho way,
if The Chief lived up there it would
take pleasure in doing likewise
and the Natchitoches candidate has
been so :ndiscreet rs to charge or
intimate that his popular DeSoto
competitor has ''bought up the
newspapers" Such a sweeping,
reckless and manifestly libelous
charge as this is not likely to i'm
