From what we gathered on cur
rounds with the campaigners, we feel
assured that DR.. Stokes, while hold
ing his OVID, has made other votes in
this county. Many people regard
his retirement at this juncture of his
career as public calamity by greatly
retarding, if not efectually killing,
the important matters of legislation
which be has undertaken and sue,
ceeding in pushing far toward sue
cess and which are frausht with 50
many promises of relief to suffering
and oppressed agriculture and the
laboring class. They believe that
his unfinished business" in Congress
demands his immediate personal at
tention and guidance, and hence calls
for his return. They have no per
sonsl objection to Mr.. Brantley but
think the time is not yet qnite at
hand when Young America" should
be put forward to supplant a man
who has been tried in the crucible Of
test and found not wanting.

The United States is in possession
of Manila, the bay and the harbor
and President Mckinley has in
structed Gen: Merritt to preserve
peace at all hazards, and that pro-
lection to persons and property with
in the territory occupied by our mill
tary and naval forces must positive
ly be maintained at any, sacrifice and
at any cost. These orders are i'm
peratiye and must be obeyed. The
insurgents, as we'll as others, must be
compelled to recognize the authority
of the United States and its military
occupation of Manila and that there
is cessation of hostilities pending
peace negotiations. Gen. Merritt
has been given full authority to use
whatever means his judgment may
suggest or the exergencies OF the
situation may demand to carry out
his instructions. 1t is now clear
that the policy of this government is
to have nothing to do with the in
surgents and while assuring to them
civil, political and religious freedom,
their interference with the govern
ment of the islands will not be
tolerated in the least.

Friday will be State campaign day

Friday will be State campaign day
for this county. The meeting will
be held in the beautiful and shady
grove in rear of the court house.
Ample arrangements have been made
for the accommodation of the people
and we trust that all our people will
turn out to welcome the weary cam
paieners who have made the tour OF
the State, many of whom just for the
fun of appearing before the dear
people and acting their part in the
hunt for votes.
We want every voter, as well as
every woman and child in the
county, to come to Lexington on next
Friday and hear what the candidates
have 10 say for themselves. These
men appear on that occasion asking
the suffrage of a sovereign people to
elevate them to high and exhalted
positions. For this purpose they
have gone to much expense and a
great deal of discomfort and inconve-
nience to do so-for instance there is
the non conquerable and irrepressible
G. Walt Whitman who has made the
tour of the State on his wheel-aDd
now it is our duty as thinking and
intelligent people to come out and
listen attentively to what they have
to say. We owe this much to
ourselves otherwise We Will be
open to the charge Of being bias or
the far more graver and degrading
one of being whipped into line by
the crack of the partizan lash. Let
US all turn out on that day, behave
ourselves and make the speakers do
the same; listen quietly and as the
candidates impress you so vote.
