Woodruff County Press Admits
that They Were Perpetrat-
ed in Late Primary.
First Returns Gave County to Macon
But An Honest Count Gives
1t to Parrish.

The Free Press, published at Au-
gusta, in Woodruff county, gives out
the following statement concerning
the recent election in Woodruff coun-
ty:
Since publishing the official re-
turns in our last issue we have been
reminded repeatedly that not only
was the total enumeration in error
but that the reports from the various
townships or boxes were also ma
terially altered. We will here state
that the report as given in our last
issue was what we received from the
best source available. We endeavor-
ed to get the full and complete re-
turns, wrote several letters in our
attempt to get next but find upon
looking up the matter that we are
still out in the cold. While it is not
and never has been the desire OF the
Free Press TO say ought against any
one unless perfectly justified yet we
feel that the way our recent election
was carried on we are not only justi-
fed but it is in the province of the
paper to say that it was disgrace
to our county and should be censured
to the extreme. The people, if they
do their duty should see to it that
the guilt is placed where it belongs
and it remains for them to refuse to
associate with these menup whom
rests the stigma of dishonor. Ii pub
llc sentiment does not condone Of
lenses against public honor and pub
lie sentiment, the Cffense will be
duly punished. Such human vipers
as manipulated the shady side Of our
recent election would make good ma
terial for sharks, and other man de-
stroying agencies. They should be
ostracised from the rights of Amer
ican citizenship. The vote as pub
lished in our last issue for the con-
gressmen for this district when added
gives Mr.. Parrish 904 votes and Mr..
Macon 859. We dom know who is
and can only ask that if
there is any citizen of this county
who can throw light upon the SUBJ
ject ia any way we would greatly ap-
preciate it, likewise the pubic in
general. In the White River box
only 113 votes were cast for every Of
flee except for Congress for which Of
fee 180 votes were cast. Other boxes
show similar work.
The editor of the Solphore has
seen an affidavit made by one OF the
election Judges of Augusta township
in which he swears that the vote for
in that township was
Macon 1S0 and Parrish 1853. In the
published returns the vote
stood Macon $50 and Parrish 68.
Freed from errors as pointed out by
the election Judges Mr. Harrish has
the county by l75 msi

THE SUNK LANDS.
An Old Settler Has Great Faith
in Oil, Gas and Coal
Deposits.
The OyerhoMs Give Unmistakaoie
Evidence That There is an
Abundance of Oil.

A writer in recent issue OF the
Harris burg Modern News recltes
some interesting historical reminis-
censes con 3erning the sunk lands, and
presents what he considers unmls-
taxable evidences of the existence
of oil, gasandcoal, meath the earth
surface.
His letter to the News is as fol-
ows:
THE writer of this sketch has
spent much time in the Sunk Lands
ia the last 56 years. l have Eet
with some of the eye witnesses to
that great event, which occurred IN
1911. I saw lady and talked with
her many times about the earth
qauke. She was caught in the midst
Of it and was II years old at the
time. She said that the earth shook
two weeks, off and on. She said
she never saw such religious re-
viva! ia all her life among the
people. Some of the terrified
people rushed off tosee anold Indian
prophet and asked him what all this
trouble meant. "Oh, Great Spirit!
Whiskey too much. The land went
down in some places more than
others. 1t made hundredo OF lakes,
the largest of which is Lead FORK
Lake. Il extends from near Marked
Tree north about thirty miles and is
FIVE or six miles wide ia some places.
In those lakes | have seen blocks OF
stone coal as late as 1886. 1t had
been thrown up from below by the
great c0nvulsions of the earth. |
saw and talked with reliable old
gentleman many years ago, he told
me that there were blocks OF coal
thrown up three feet thick in the
channel of the Mississippi river at
the time of the earthquake. | have
seen considerable quantity of coal
in the lake near Newman Spring,
though it is covered up at the present
time with mud and silt. The lakes
are gradually filing up every year.
Oh can be seen on every square yard
OF water within four or i've miles
east OF Crowley's Ridge when the
Mississippi overflow is up high, ex-
cept oelow the drifts. have seen
dirty oil scum two or three inches
thick above the drifts. This can be
seen any time when the overflow Is
up high, but strange to say, 1T can
not be seen any other time. | can
nov account for this. L have seen
gas blows ia the deep water, they
resemble large boiling springs. |
have seen them as large as a sugar
hogshead. They cannot be seen only
when the overflow is up high. They
are on the highest lands. The bot
tom land tore loose from Crowley S
Ridge and left great cracks miles
long. They can be seen aG the pres
ent time. They resemble old bitches
partly filed up. | recently saw a
historic sketch in the Modern News
TN
Of my old friend. Tol Rhea. | have
met with him many times in the
Sunk Land country. The first time
that I ever met him | think was
in 1854, he had on coonskin cap,
bu ,kskin pants and Indian moccasins.
He was one of the greatest oear
hunters in the state. and was very
popular man among his people.

Must Prevent the Outrage.

ST. Louis Republic: In discussing
the republican nominee for clerk of
the Illinois supreme court one of the
Justices of that high tribunal said:
His election would be montrous
outrage upon the state, the bar and
our court"
bench said: The feeling against
Manner is unanimous among all my
colleagues
Five Justices of the Illinois state
supreme court unite in an indignant
protest against the action of the re-
publican state convention in nomina-
ting so unworthy man for clerk of
that court. y sixth declared that for
personal reasons he did not care to
express himself. The seventh, COM
plotting the bench. was i'll at home
and so could not be interviewed by
the Chicago News, which published
these protests.
Keep in mind the fact that one of
these. justices affirms that the SUI
preme bench feeling against the re-
publican nominee for clerk is unani-
nous.
The democratic nominee for clerk
of the state supreme court of Illinois
is a man of proved ability, faithful in
the performance of his duty, famil-
lar with the law, enjoying the respect
of all who know him, widely known
throughout the state, fit in every way
to worthily fill the important Office to
which he has been named. The voters
of that state should elect Mr.. Picker
ing clerk of the Illinois supreme
court by an overwhelming majority.
The election of the republican nom
inee, according to the opinion of the
Illinois supreme bench itself, would
be monstrous outrage upon the
state, the bar and the court

Some Corn.

Cornstalks fourteen feet high are
no unusual sight in central Illinois,
says the Drover's Journal, if we are
to believe the statements of many
stockmen who threaten to bring in
the corn and measure it in proof of
their veracity. 1t surely looks as if
there would be an unusual demand
for stepladders this fall about husk-
ing time. More than likely some of
the giant cornstalks will be felled
with the AK as trees are in the for
est; then it will be comparatively
easy for husky man to load the
ears into a wagon and haul them to
the crib. The man with the fish
story will have to retire to the rear
this season while the corn raiser
takes the floor and tells of the high
stalks, the big ears and the large
acreage. We hope that every farmer
will have a crop big enough to keep
him busy telling about it the rest of
the winter.

harass the party. Were he to agree
TO support the party candidates and
urge his friends to go into the sena-
torial caucus, i, personally, would be
willing to support Mason candidate
for the legislature as one friendly to
Hopkins
Senator Mason's address is in part
as follows:
Chicago, Aug. 21.-To the republi-
cans of Illinois: As the republican
state committee has made an official
announcement that L will not be in
vited to speak in Illinois during this
campaign, it is only fair that 1
should make statement to you as to
why this was done.
II believe that every dollar collect
ed from taxpayers in Illinois for the
support of the deaf and dumb, insane
and blind, and other wards of the
state should go for the benefit of
those unfortunate people. The only
sin / have been guilty of is to call
attention to the fact that the pres
ent state administration has DELHI
erately withheld many thousands of
dollars and used them for carrying
out the personal and political ambi-
ton of the governor.
Il have denounced this infamy in
half the counties of the state, not
simply because the money so corrupt
ly taken was used to defeat me for
senator, but protested against it in
the name of common honesty and be-
cause L believe the course of the adj
ministration in thus robbing the
state institutions eventually will de-
stroy the republican party in this
state"

He said, as a sheH from the epemy's
Sent his arm and his musket a-kit-
ing:
Il fights NIT sigel''
And once more 1 saw him, and knelt
by his side,
His life blood was rapidly flowing;
l whispered of home, wife, children
and friends,
The bright land to which he was
going.
And have you no word for the dear
ones at home,
The wee one, the father, or mother?
'Yaw! Yaw!" said he, tell them! o.!
tell them / fights
Poor fellow! he thought of no 9th
Il fights nit Sigel!"
We scraped out a grave, and he
dreamlessly sleeps
On the banks of the Shenandoah
river;
His home or his kindred alike are
unknown,
His reward in the hands of the
giver.
We placed rough board at the head
of his grave,
And we left him alone in his glory,
from the spot,
The little we knew of his story
Il fights NIT Sigel!'

the governor was to be present, Rep

vertfsed to be there, and we expect
him."
Truman Z. Hoy, who is the mana

II do not think the governor was con-

this gathering is expected to talk
politics, and with him will be Will

a long list of others.
The Aurora meeting tomorrow is
strictly political affair, it being the
custom of the republicans of Kane
county to hold such gatherings every
year. There the candidate for SEN
ator is expected to tell of the plat
form on which he intends to run and
the reasons why he should be elect

mittee to invite Senator Mason to
speak for it this fall was the subject
of controversy yesterday. The SEN
ator issued statement, addressed to
the republicans of the state, defend
ing his course, and in reply to it Mr..
Hoy said:
1.-The reason Senator Mason was
not invited to speak was that, after
the state convention had Endorsed
Mr.. Hopkins as his successor, Sena-
tor Mason gave out an interview in
Chicago practically reading himself
out of the party. 1t has been gener-
ally understood since then that he
was urging prospective members of
