said: Governor, my information IS
that shortly after | announced Prof.
Cook called at your office and III your
presence dictated that letter to your
stenographer. Do you deny it?' The
governor replied that it was true, but
said he had nothing to do with hav-

applauded this forced admission from
the governor.
The opposition to Gov Davis in this
county is SO universal that there is
practically no doubt as to what the
outcome will be. Out of an assembly
of $50 voters yesterday there were
not score of Davis men. There is but
one expression to be heard on all sides
and that is that Sharp county can
safely be counted for Rector
Il know at least three men who
came to the speaking and were cen
verted from Davis to Rector re-
marked Col. Sam H. Davidson to your
correspondent. There is no doubt in
my mind what the result will be on
election day. | believe Rector safely
had the county before he came here,
but since the debate he is consider
ably strengthened. He exposed the
unsavory record of the governor in a
masterful manner. He is so superior
in a joint discussion that the contrast
cannot fail to be noticed"

what Governor Davis said about the
difficulty between himself Rectorl

smoked and drank with men and entered

published a book OF poems. She finally
became engaged to marry the daughter

made for the wedding. At the last mo-

into amazement by calmly marrying a real
count and appearing In women's clothes.
Similar to this case is the one, nearer
