McPherson's Vote on the Senatorship
Amendment,

Smith Mcpherson has been criticised
some for his vote against the proposed
constitutional amendment permitting
the election of U. s. senators by direct
vote Of the people. The following let
ter, which he sent to the Adair News,
shows that his vote was misunderstood,
and that he did indeed vote for the very
measure he was criticised for voting
against.
Following is the letter:
81 noticed in your paper of the Goth
suggestion as to my recent vote on
the proposed amendment to the con-
stitution governing the election OF
United States senator's.
"Your criticism is friendly in tone,
and such as the press has the right, as
we'll as the duty, to make of all public
officers. wish to be critised, and even
censured, when / make mistake con-
corning an official matter.
my purpose, however, in writing
you is to say, that neither your paper,
nor any other l have seen, correctly
represents my action. Two PROPOSE
tons were before the house.
"First.-A proposed amendment to
allow any state to elect United States
senator's either by the legislature as we
do now, or by vote of the people at the
polls. / voted for this. Under oui
constitution two (2) senators are tc
represent state, regardless of its size
As they are to represent the state,
think the state should say the manner
of election.
"Second.-A proposed amendment
to compel every state to elect the
senators by vote of the people. This
last, voted against" Yours very truly
SMITH MCPHERSON.

Letter From VIII Beedle.

April l, 1900.
Dear Friend J. W. b. Cole.
thought as it is April fool day
would write you letter. lust come
from the hospital at Angles few days
ago. had an abcess on my arm and
the doctor cut it open and it is nearly
we'll now. L had some pictures taken
while back. i will send you one in
day or so. want to send my mother
one but / don't know where she is.
Has she been at Audubon lately?
There is little show of me coming
home before my time is up. / have
got to serve one year and nine months
yet. Well, l will soon be over the ridge
and year and half service III three
months more and will be going down
hill on my enlistment. This year and
half has gone very fast. If the rest
of the time goes as fast / will be sat
isfied.
L had that picture taken with native
boy that works in Co. E kitchen. NV
picture is taken with my rifle, belt,
canteen, haversack and kakie uniform.
Well, it is nice day and dread stay
ing here through another rainy season.
1t was so hot We nearly melted to day.
The longer l stay here the more want
to get away from here. / don't sup
pose L would know half the people
there now if would come back. /
see that they mooved the Stuart grain
office. They don't mean that big brick
office do they? How would they moove
it?
The - niggers have got to disturb
us once in a while. There was scout
ing party run into about hundred
niggers about week ago. They shot
Lieutenant Wolfe of my regiment
through the body and tore another
mans arm off with an old remington.
The boys caught twelve of them. They
hung two and shot ten. | think that
gang will behave for a short while.
They wait until eight or ten men come
along on detail of some kind, then
about one hundred of them will attack
them, but the boys gave them just
the same. There was not any soldiers
killed. One Lieutenant and q private
wounded and twelve niggers killed
About three weeks ago there was
sargent of Co. b going from here to
San lrrido. The niggers caught him
and they cut him all to pieces with
bolos and left him in the road The
mail wagon happened to come along
and they picked him up and got him to
San Irrido as quick as they could to
the hospital and he is living yet, and
they caught the niggers that did it and
they were hung yesterday. At San
Irrido the sargent lost an arm. Well
l guess this is all so good bye from

The Guthrian, quoting what we re-
Gently said in criticism of it for saying
that county, having no judicial or
senatorial ties with the rest of the
district, was apparently left out in the
cold, replied last week as follows:
We have all along considered that
the good natured rivalry to see who
should represent this district in con-
gress, was question of men not
principle. Byers, Hager or Smith, if
any one Of them was to be nominated
and elected, would represent the prin-
ciples of the party to which he belonged
and it is not therefore a matter of
principle until the nomination is made,
We beg Bro. Motifs pardon for over
looking the senatorial tie that binds
Audubon and Guthrie. Our excuse is,
that the tie in the past has been so
slight and so different from the "Tie
that binds" that we easily slipped into
the error. We sincerely hope that
Audubon in the future will so conduct
herself towards us that We will always
remember the tie that binds us.

The committee on resolutions at the
democratic convention last week, would
surely appreciate the compliments
given their resolutions if they had come
from some other source but knowing
that the public knows him also, they
can not appreciate them as they might
otherwise. Advocate.
We infer from this the compliments
given by the REPUBLICAN we're the only
ones received. That is about as we ex-
pected. After so much labor had been
expended We thoughtit proper to CON-
pliment the resolutions so far as pos
sible, and We are sorry our words were
not appreciated.

The export trade balance in favor of
the United States during the first three
years of President McKinley's admin
stration amounted to 81, 4S3, 600, 900.
More than one-half of that sum repre-
sents what was paid for labor in
manufacturing these exports, for which
the rest of the world paid. In other
words the republican policy has obliged
the world, in the last three years, to
pay at least sT4O, 900, 200 to American
labor, (which would employ 100000
men for one year at a salary of 1000
per year. This is one reason why work
is plenty, wages good, and the home
consumption of American products has
argely increased.

 ed Chitwood and
 Goes to War
MADE GOOD HIS ESCAPE

Knoxville, Tenn, January 1.-A special wood, Tenn, says:
 At Almy (Pafnt Rock Mines), four miles from here, Andy Chitwood was shot and instantly killed last night by Elvin Phil lips.
 Chitwood owned a saw mill west of Oneida, and had gone to Paint Rock to see about getting some piping. He met Phil lips, and after having friendly chat, went to house nearby, where they got into dispute in regard to change. Phil dips called Chitwood a liar, and at the same time drew his pistol and fired while Chftwood was on his knees the ball pene- trating his heart, causing instant death.
 For the last ten days Phillips has been on drunk, and boasted he was going to kill his man and then join the army. Last Wednesday while he was at Oneida he shot a drummers va1ise all to pieces, and the same day shot a man by the name of Chambers. hitting him in the foot. Sat- urday he shot at Charles Keelon, held up the Paint Rock engine that carries the mail from the mines to Oneida, and at 10 p. m. made good his threat by killing Chit wood.
 Phillips was member of the Fourth Tennessee volunteer infantry.
 Chitwood was a highly respectable young man, member of the Knights of Pythias lodge at Helenwood, and also a member of Newman commandery No. 32, U. R. K. P, at Helenwood
 He will be buried according to the ritual of both branches of the order at II a. m. Monday at the family buryng ground near Oneida He was about 2S years old, and leaves wife and three children
 Phillips made good his escape, and had not been captured at last accounts

HOUSE WILL TAKE
 UP SUNDRY BILLS The Urgent Deficiency Measure May Pro-

 Begins His Argument
 on Finances
THE PHILIPPINE QUESTION
PETTIGREW TO RESUME HIS SPEECH

Washington. January H-The house will begin the work of sundry bills this week. Most of the time except Friday, which has been set apart for paying tribute to the memory of the late Vice-President Hobart will be given to the consideration of ap- propriat ation bills.
 It is expected that both the urgent de- ffciency bill and the pension appropriation bill will be passed this week. The former, containing as it does, many millions of dol lars for the army and navy, may raise the . whole question as to the insurrection in the Philippines with its allied issues and lead to a very protracted debate.
 How far the republican leaders will allow the debate to run has not yet been determ- ined, but If the democrats are insistent and persistent they can hardly refuse them several days in view of the large amount of the appropriations involved.
 The pension appropriation bill is also likely to cause some spirited debate owing to the disposition in certain quarters to critcise the conduct of the pension office Attempts doubtless will be made to legis- late upon the bill reversals of some of the pension commissioners rulings, but as all such legislation is subject to point of or der, it will fail.
 There is no prospect that the Roberts case will get into the house before next week.

 Reports from Colesberg represent the po- sitton there as favorable to tine republi- cans, but that the British are concentaat- Ing for operations on a large scale.
 The official list of the Boer casualties in what is called the "Plat-Rand Fight on Saturday. January (the attack upon Dadysmith), show 26 killed and IT wounded. These figures are described as ''the first returns"
 The embargo at Delagoa bay upon Trans vaai imports is the question of the hour with the burghers. If this is not removed tt is asserted that steps will be taken prej- judicial to prisoners and aliens.
