 NUMBER III.
 Tn last weeks TRIBUNE, Chair man Fancher used one and one- half pages to 'Sbriefly answer and correct my erroneous, disorgan- izing article.' That it was disor- ganizing, is clearly proven by the fact that it has separated those twin cancellations, Chairman Fancher and Secretary Goude- lock, and driven them to DIFF FERENT covers; the one to the Progress, the other to THE TRIB- UNE, If they both tell the truth, they must needs say the same thing. Why not both sign Gopdelock' reply if it is correct, or both sign Fancher's if it is the true thing?'' think there will be no want of harmony in pro- nouncing' both names together.
 But did he prove my article er- roneous? He did not even deny the efacts. He denied only the conclusions drawn from those facts. Let us see if this is not correct. l stated:
 That the primary was not legaized because MT. Fancher FORGOT to file the certificate with the clerk. He says, "WE over- looked and did not think of this certificate until day or two after the lime to file with the county clerk. Then WE did think of it. 1"
 I charged that this forget ting due to criminal negli- gence or to fraudulent design. He admits the negligence, but de- niesthe criminality, knowing that the Failure to file this certificate removed the primary beyond the ypale of the law. But, IS days be- ss;ysV 1pis the primary he remembers RS6atit has not been filed, yet goes gfi with his ''legalized farce," by kwAich every man in the county, according to MT. Goudelock, is decsived. l thought perhaps Ca few Favored friends in a few fa- vorsd townships had been in- ffored, but Secretary Goudelock siinSien antly denied this. He offic- ially sends out the county poll XboQks, tally sheets etc., swears in tlie 3pd pdges, and clerks, and depu- ,@ f 4eriff, sends the voters to the boQhs, etc. Does Chairman eSS &her not think it criminal to \ f2I Receive his fellow men ?
 dSSs 1 charged that not more nI tIj Atwo members of the com-
 e were present when election dddes were selected. In answer f6Ss, he says, "Mr. Goudelock, 4 Mary of the committee, as- l' ME in appointing and mak- in pt a list of all the judges. ' X X SFror corrected here.
 l charged that the commit 1eSEaan from Hickory sent in two ,, of election judges. MT. as! K her says, "We had two lists \ n from Hickory" Score Es Goudelock says, "Mr. Nor
 ve me a full list of names of sa whom he thought would oa ss I good judges. Later, un- 'a 's pod he sent a revised list to zEman Fancher, but this list, iI Ihe Hancher) had lost. The judg- i'd 'ss f0r Hickory were named from ~the list he furnished me"
 6 charged that the commit qteefnGn from Carrollton, sent in '% 1ss Stof judges not one of whom ] 6 Selected. MT. Fancher over- a this charge entirely. Goude- ,s ssI Ays, "I never saw the list t h by MT Redden. I under Y .d MT. Fancher lost it along @ @s 3Mr. Norris revised list. J am % very erroneous in my fifth 5 s' lent {?
 ,s ,ss M stated that Sscontrary to G sss stom of this and all other 'l Iy es, the publication of the !. Judges was held back until fHIi hree days before the pri- nn' In answer, Chairman t, er says, "The law does not FrF e the list of judges to be ra fa in a primary or general gss Ss h. They are always sub- " " changes before election SS,% S Secretary Goudelock says,
