Will He Make the Fur Fly?

The people want a Prosecutor who
will prosecute. and will choose O. n.
Sans on election day. When he takes
charge of the Office the "fur will fly"
among the officials guilty OF making
overcharges.
The above article from the Hillsboro
Gazette intends to imply that Mr.. Sans
will vigorously prosecute all cases against
officials whom it is claimed have over
charged the county, Mr.. Sans will do
nothing of the kind, if elected, of which
there is but little chance. He couldn't
if he wanted to, as he has already been
retained by several of the officials against
whom overcharges are claimed. He has
accepted their money, advised them that
they were legally entitled to it, and il
he should be elected the county would
be compelled to hire some other sttor.
ney to prosecute these cases as Mr.. Sans
would be liable to be disbsrred if he
tried any of those in which he has &C
cepted fe es. Statements like the above
are simply intended to deceive the people
as was the making of the investigation

A Lie Nailed.

Those who are attempting to defeat
John Williamson by charging him with
deliberately raising his fee bills were
paralyzed by the showing from the rec
ords that he was paid his fees only upon
certificate of Judge Hughes, under his
seal, and on file in the Auditors office.
They attempt to break the force of it,
however, by claiming it was only an 80.
K" 1t is not such an endorsement,
either in form or in fact. It is the fee
bill, made up by the court, as part of
his official duties in the case and is as
much part of the record of the case as
the judgment of insanity.
Nor was it merely careless endorse.
ment. On the contrary, we believe it is
fact that Judge Hughes will not deny,
that very early in Mr.. Williamson's
term, he had held up the matter of his
fees until he had written to and con-
suited with other Probate Judges so that
the taxing of his fees, in every detail,
was done after deliberation.
Mr.. Williamson, therefore. had right
to rely upon whatever was taxed to him,
believing it to be correctly taxed by a
competent court, after investigating the
subject and consulting with others. And
he also has the right to let the question
be settled in the court along with any
other questions that may arise out OF
the investigation.

Cuba's death rate for the past sum-

nine years and that for yellow fever was
unprecedentedly low. This is directly
attributable to the sanitary measures

Though at first the Cubans did not favor
cleaning and disinfecting, the results are

EDITOR News HERALD II have been
thinking for some time past Of writing
some news for your paper but have had
very little time. Since the regi ment
has been organized, company drills,
band rehearsals, ETC., have taken almost
ell our time. There has been great
deal of talk in the papers about the 3lst

tine with lin some papers) as high as q
whole company down with the plague.
True, we are quarantined, but as for their
being any small pox here I have the
first case to see. We have some light
cases Of varioloid, but that has been
enough to give some of the newspap er
pencil-pushers chance to give fig ht
to their imaginations. I never was in
better health and saw the other two
Hillsburo boys, Pet Henderly and Pal
Fullerton, to day and they seem, as far
as outward appearances 60, to be getting
along splendidly on the traditional army
fare, hardtack, bacon and beans. guess
we three are the only ones that old
Highland county has in this regiment
except T. W. Maddox, son of Rev. A.
Maddox. who was raised in the vicinity
of Marshall, believe. Tom is a MEM
Der of our band. They say self praise is
half scandal but I think I am safe in
saying that we have one of the very best
bands in the service. We are calculat-
ing on making a tour of the country
when we return. All our baggage, ex.
ira clothing, etc., is being fumigated and
as soon as this is completed We will 60
on board the transport and sail fer Ma

The most impressive fact connected
with the Dewey celebration in Washing.
ton was the remarkable spontaneity of
the enthusiasm of the people for the
great Admiral. Washington is usually
cold and impassive, without genuine en-
thusiasm, at the inaugural ceremonies,
treating them as pageants gotten up to
celebrate the victory of some political
party in fight for the control OF the
Government offices. There is of course
cheering and applause for the man who
represents his party, but it is generally
forced or selfish, a natural result of the
political conditions which surround the
city. But now, with no Offices in sight
to whet the appetite, the Capital went
mad in the wild endeavor to express ad-
mirstion for the man who added a
glorious page to American History. 1t
shows that patriotism expressed in
hero worship lives in the hearts of all
American citizens and only needs an op.
portunity to express itself. In this lies
the safety and greatness of our future.
