WORST GOLD BRICI- YET

WORST GOLD BRICE YET.
Atlanta Journal.
Senator McLaurin is not big enough
man to either originate or direct any
movement of consequence. And yet
many Republican newspapers are pro-
claiming him as the deliver of the south
from Democratic domination
This is very amusing to those who
know McLaurin and nave observed how
utterly Indifferent are the people of the
south to his gyrations.
The st. Louis Globe Democrat in its
hilarity over McLaurin's flop declares
that southern papers of the better
class are nearly all with McLaurin in
the new departure he has proclaimed, >
and to prove that this is so it quotes
a few lines from The Charlotte Obsar-
yer and The Richmond Times
The northern Republicans who have
invested in the great McLaurin south

TAXED TO DEATH"

No country enjoys so many blessings
of government as the one we live in,
in spite OF the robbery of the trusts and
the exactions of monopoly. Writing to
the Monroe Journal from Paris, Mr.. A.
NJ Stack saws that when the farmers
bring the products of their farms, their
beef chickens, eggs, ETC.. to Paris for
sale, they must pay a tax on them. The
tax on a chicken is eight cents. The
people here are taxed to death. That
accounts partly for the exorbitant prices
of everything"
Such taxation would not be tolerated

AFTER MAYETTA GIRL.
Colorado Man Tells Queer Story
of Miss Morrison.

The following is from the Denver
Post:
Miss Alice Morrison, of Mayetta,
Jackson county, Kansas, has been play
ing fast and loose with a young man
who resides at Patton, country post
office not far from Pueblo. His name
is withheld by the federal authorities
until an official investigation is COM
pleted. The letters written by the
young woman are in the hands of the
postoffice authorities and the prospects
are that she may have all kinds OF
explanations to make before the thing
is over
If Miss Morrison is guilty of having
written all the letters which the Off
Gals accuse her of being the author of
she must have been kept very busy.
From the contents of the letters which
Inspector Sullivan is now looking into
it appears that the young man at Patton
is very much in love with the Kansas
girl. Her correspondence with herself
is quite interesting
When the gentleman of Patton COM
planned that she did not write often
and felt hurt at the neglect the letters
reveal an interesting way she had of
'squaring" it. This is what may get
her into trouble.
One day the young man at Patton
received letter addressed by Miss
Alice Morrison and inside was a brief
note piece of wrapping paper
If you are angling to Catch My Girl
you had better look elsewhere. Alyx-
chlain.''
The my girl was underscored and
the letter was supposed to have been
written by a young man who loved Miss
Alice Morrison. 1t would make the
Colorado lover jealous. He wrote for
an explanation-just what her letters
indicate that she wanted Then Miss
Alice Morrison, so the federal authori-
ties say, proceeded to write letters to
herself nd
threatened to kill her if she insisted
upon encouraging the attentions of the
gentleman from Patton. 1t described
the "angel eyes," the angelic figure
Alice Morrison in extrnvagant style. A
few days later she sent another letter
wrapped in a newspaper. This was
signed by Jessie
Now Jessie is supposed to be the pos
tai tai clerk who who vas vas opening the letters and and

that she would insert whatever Harper

he may have got Alice in bad place. for
all the letters appear to have been writ

a woman sending a letter threatening her
