G. P. Rand For Register of Leeds.

To the Voters of Raleigh Township.
Gentlemen: AS this will be the first
election held under the amended Con-
stitution the country precincts think ii
is very important that all friction should
be avoided, therefore no candidate has
been presented for either of the offices
of Clerk of the Court or County Treas
urer in opposition to the two candidates
presented by the city of Raleigh for
those position. No one will claim that
Raleigh should have all three of the
best paying offices and then expect a
cordial support from the country pre-
cincts.
We in this end of the county have
presented the name of G. P. Rand for
Register of Deeds He is a sterling
Democrat, we'll qualified to perform the
Duties of the office. is well and favor
ably known throughout the county. and
has great influence in this township,
which is and always has been strongly
Democratic
Speaking for the country, we ask Raj
eigh to join with us in nominating Mr..
Rand, thus removing all chance of dis
cord in the party, and making doubly
sure the election of the entire Demo-
cratic ticket.

Maj. Hales Strength in Cumberland

To the Editor: In reply to Mr. N. A.
Sinclair's fabulous account Of the Cum
berland county convention and Of Maj.
E. ]. Hale's wonderful political strength
in our county contained in your issue
of the Sth inst, allow me, please. to give
to your many readers an unbiased and
truthful statement of the conditions of
things as they really are just now. In
stead of Mai Hale having an over
whelming majority mis- majority is pitt
fully small. Here are the details Cross
Creek township precinct No l elected
delegates without a contest and the del
egates are supposed to be for Hale; pre-
cinct No. had a test vote, resulting in
9 for Hale, q against Hale; precinct No.
tested tehir strength and resulted in
A for Hale and SO against Hale; precinct
No. also tested their strength, result
90 for Hale, 26 against Hale. The pre-
cincts voting gave Hale IS votes and the
anti Hale forces 81 votes and yet the
county convention made or forced the
townships to vote as a Init and Hale
grabs the whole thing Fair, isn't it?
Where is the minority represented?
Now, as to the county precincts. or
rather townships. l will give yoU' read
ers short synopsis of their standing.
The Anti-Hale men claim, ami justly so,
one half of Flea Hill, one half of Beaver
Dam, half of Twenty first, one third
of Corbers Creek, all of Pearces Mill,
Rockfish and Imwhiffie and those con-
tentions will be heard by the Congress
sonal convention, which meets here on
the goth day of August next, and the
contentious will be allowed by the con-
vention if they follow party law and
party usage. We. all of us, fee sorry
for Maj. Hale 1t must be humiliating
to him. Gle brought it on HIMSELF, but
this is not his time and his tactics to
throttle such a respectable minority will
not avail. Maj. Hale and his friends are
trying to make the public believe that
Mr.. Bellamy is doing all this. working
up such vote against him. Not so, the
forces allied against Maj. Hale are for
Bellamy and Brown that l know of, and
possibly some are for Patterson-all
against Maj Hale.
Mr. Editor I believe in fair play and
when we get it you will see that Cum
berland's vote will be about thus, viz:
SIS per cent. for Hale and As per cent.
against Hale. Right respectable minor
ity, don't you think so? Mr. Sinclair
writes of our Irregularities. If my ac-
count is about true and correct, where
in the name of common sense and Justice
are the irregularities? If Maj. Hale or
his friends want more we can give them
possibly the exact figures, and maybe
some facts and reasons for our position
in this fight. We are not hankering for
newspaper controversy, but we are
not afraid of it and if it is brought on
us we shall deal simply with the facts
as they have been and are now. We will
give some interesting and positive fig
ures. facts and history: Whom the
Gods would destroy they first make
mad" ]. B. BROADFOOT

Your correspondent was at the Head last

They came up as far as the hotel niazzo

OF a steam whistle caused them TO hrealy

The action of the board Of aldermen
last night in ordering the city solicit
or to proceed against the brick street
and sidewalk contractor in order to
determine whether or not he can be
made to comply with his contract, is q
step in the right direction. The Sun
has for several months taken the posi-
tion that something ought to be done
to decide the liability and secure for
the benefit Of the public some much
needed improvements, and IL might
rs well be done now, although it should
have been done long ago. Il is now
purely . question of law, IL seems.
The street and sidewalks have been
paid fer. and part Of the contract
made with the city, and secured by
bond, was that they should be kept in
repair for Q certain period. According
to the city's legal repesentatatives,t the
money sued for and collected on the
street was awarded on the grounds
that the work was done according to
contract, and now, it appears, the
contractor wants to escape part Of
the obligation by claiming he is not
liable because the work, by reason Of
changes he agreed to, was not done &C
cording to contract. The bond is still
in effect, and property mortgaged to
the company by the contractor when
the bond was made it is said hssnever
been released, so the company probably
still considers the bond in force. The
property owners and taxpayers do
not care who does the work, so 1t is
done.

YOUNG LADY OF TENNESSEE
FOUND IN MEMPHIS LAST if
EVENING.

Miss Bessie Dismukes, q prominent
young lady Of Gallatin, Tenn, who
was on her way to Oklahoma, on a
visit, was found in an unconscious con.
dition on the streets Of Memphis last
evening, and it is alleged was dragged
by Tom L. Biles, a newspaper man Of
Mckenzie. Tenn, who met her on the
train and had volunteered to look At.
ter her. She is a cousin to James and
Paul Dismukes.of Mayfield, KY. and
at last accounts Biles could not be
found to give his side of the story.
The affair has created q great sen.
sstion in Memphis, and this morn

REV. CAVE TO LEAVE
He Announces That He Has Accept
ed the Raleigh Call.
A Generous Offer Made Him By His
Elders But He Feels Called
to Go.
IS GRATEFUL TO PADUCAH

1t will be sad news TO hundreds Of
friends and admirers in the city OF
Rev. W. e. Gave, pastor OF the First
Presbyterian church, ana his family,
to learn today that DIR. Gave has &C
cepted the call to the First church in
Raleigh. N. O.. ana expects TO leave
with his family for his new field Of
labor about January 1.
The formal call was received by
DR.. Gave q week or ten days ago, and
after earnestly considering it., he de-
oided it advisable to accept, and has
announced his decision.
Monday night the elders Of bis
church met, and owing to the fact
that DIR. Caves health has been fail
ing for the past year or more, offered
in order to retain him to give him q
years leave Of absence, his salary to
be paid during the time, but the min
lister thought that such course would
not be for the best interests OF the
church he has so long watched over,
and he would not accept. He seemed
to be very much moved by such unu-
sual generosity however, and his graf
itude and appreciation are very
great.
DIR. Gave has been pastor of the
First church here for 10 years. He
came to Psducah from Bloomfield,
KY. and has seen his church grow and
prosper under his ministrstion until it
is one Of the largest and most impor-
tant in the state. He is greatly be-
loved by his members as we'll as by
all others who know him, and his de-
parture from Psducah will be a source
of universal regret.
DR.. Gave is not actuatsd by sny pc.
cuniary consideration in leaving Pa
ducah. The church he is to have
charge Of at Raj eigh is smaller, and
the salary, $500, is 5000 less than he
receives here. His health is in such
state however, that he believes it ex-
pedient that he accept the call to new
fields, and thinks perhaps that some
other minister may take up his WORK
here and accomplish more than he
might. It was the fourth call he had
received from other churches within
two years past, and it was generally
hoped that he would decide to remain
in Psducsh.
II is hardly probable that he will
get away before January 1, and no
one is mentioned as yet as his proba-
BILE successor as pastor of the First
church here.

SIGNED TODAY
Saloon Closing Ordinance to Become
a Law.
What Step Saloon Keepers VIII Take
Has Not Been Decided On.

The ordinance compelling saloons to
close at 1890 p. m. and remain closed
until 8 a. m. will today probably be-
come q law. and effective at opoe. u
will be duly signed up today, and what
the saloon keepers will do about IL is
not yet settled.
They meet every Sunday morning
and it will probably be decided at the
meeting day after tomorrow what to
do. II is certain that they do not tax 9
to IL kindly and is known that they
have employed attorneys but what
they will do in regard 60 complying
with it remains to be seen.
IL has been claimed that under the
present licenses, which are in effect
until they are evoked, the saloons can
not be compelled to close, and it may
be that the new ordinance will be
resisted on this plea.
Should the position taken on the
ordinance be sustained by the courts
il would become necessary for the
city to enact a new ordinance TO en-
body in the licenses, and wait until
the present ones expire, 10 enforce the
law.
