In addition to all the crimes
charged against Major vardaman by
his political enemies in this county is
the one that he has been so unfortu-
n tie as not to be able to meet all his
obligations. If the Major has been
20 unfortunate financially he has,
nevertheless, not taken advantage of
the national bankrupt act to escape
the payment of his just debts, which
cannot be said of some of those who
make the uncalled for charge. If
the Major were financially situated as
some of the gentlemen who use this
campaign argument he would bring
to their cheek the blush of shame.
