RECALLS CLAY COUNTY.


"Just for the sake OF comparison
in this matter, let US look at Clay
county for awhile. In the last year
of Gov. Bradley's administration a
few months before the expiration
OF his term, the condition of affairs
in that county was worse than 1t
has been in Breathitt. Crime and
lawlessness were rampant, the
courts were powerless, some of the
officials were supposed to be in
sympathy with the law-breakers,
troops were ordered there, Tom
Baker, the leader OF one faction,
was shot and killed while sur
rounded with soldiers, his assas-
sin was never arrested, though
generally known, and the situa-
tlon was deplorable.

anything to do with it? l never

matters, but let us see, as this feat

complice was sentenced to the
penitentiary for eighteen years.
Gage was said to be the most
popular man that ever lived in
the county and indignation ran
high when Governor Davis par
doned Hamilton. A mob was
gathered to hang him up on his
return. Hamilton made his es-
cape, but the mob burned his
house, determined that the as
sassin Of Gage should not be per-
mitted to live in peace.
Governor Davis followed in a
speech Of an hour and a half, fol-
lowing his usual line, and was
Justify cheered by his friends. At
the close Of his speech Governor
Davis hurriedly left the room and
his followers left with him.
Mr.. Vandeyenter followed in
short but telling speech. Judge
Wood spoke q few minutes in re-
ply to Governor Davis, but the
governor and his friends were not
present TO hear either it or Mr..
Yandeventer's scathing arraign-
ment Of the governor.

supporter of his to this writer a
day or so ago.-Beebe News.
Now just what will this poor
fellow do? Judge Wood appoint
ed a negro jury commissioner
down in South Arkansas eighteen
years ago upon the recommenda-
ton of good democrats who said
it was the best for the party. But
Gov. Davis has appointed a negro
election commissioner, a negro
notary public and pardoned ne
groes who assaulted white women.
He can't vote for the governor.

THE BLADES GENEROSITY

The Sharp County Record
roars. 1t wants a chance to help
name the candidate for state SEN
ator, because Lawrence helped to
name the candidate four years
AGO. While that was true Law
renee county democrats were per-
fectly willing for Sharp county
democrats to have named the
candidate. It is a big thing for
candidates to have to make an
aggressive fight in three counties
when only one would suffice. 1t
was only suggested as a matter OF
expediency.-Walnut R i d 6 e
Blade.
The Blade is far from its base
when it thinks the RECORD wants
a chance to help name the candi-
date for state senator, because
Lawrence helped to name the
candidate four years ago. The
RECORD wants Sharp county dem
ocrats to vote in the senatorial
contest because it is right that
they should do SO. The Law
renee county citizen who is sue
cessful in this contest will be a
representative of the people and
the interests of Sharp county, and
Sharp county needs no guardian
just yet. Of course it's a big
thing for candidates to have to
make an aggressive fight in three
counties when one would suffice,
and it is still larger thing for
the gubernatorial candidates to
make an aggressive fight in sew
enty-five counties. Why does
the Blade not suggest that the
matter of selecting the nominee
for governor be left to Lawrence
county? Why not the Blade
suggest that the next congress-
man be named by Lawrence
county? There would be as much
good horse sense in these sug-
gestions as the suggestion that
Lawrence county name the next
state senator. Would the Blade
generously offer the services of
Lawrence county in picking a
representative in the lower house
for Sharp county? We guess yes.
The Blade carries its gall with it,
and its impudence is absolutely
astounding.

FROM THE CAMPAIGN.

st. Paul, Oct. 30.-The first
agreed joint discussion between
the candidates for gubernatorial
honors occurred at st. Paul, Mad
ison county, today before an aud
ience Of about 800 people.
Judge C. D. Wood opened the
debate in a speech Of an hour and
a half. He was given most re-
spectful hearing throughout his
speech and received frequent ap-
plause. He ably defended the
supreme court and clearly pointed
out Governor Davis mistakes in
his prosecution Of the trust cases
while attorney general.
Judge Wood stated that he did
not lobby against the antitrust
bill. The bill was brought to him
and another judge to see if it was
constitutional and he said he and
the other Judge had pointed out
the weak points in the bill and
recommended an amendment to
cover the ground Governor Davis
wished to cover. He accused
Governor Davis Of going back
seventeen years and raking up
his appointment Of u negro as a
jury commissioner for political
purposes, but ably defended his
appointment. He read and ex-
hibited letters Of approval from
prominent Democrats in the coun-
ty where the appointment was
made. He mentioned Governor

negro notary public His abuse
of the pardoning power came in

A CUNNING PRISONER.

Warren, Oct. 31.-A somewhat
unusual Jail delivery was effected
here Tuesday.
A negro named Sidney Tatum
was confined in the Jail for some
minor offense, and for several
days complained Of being sick.
Out of sympathy the jailer left
the negro's cell door open, giving
him free access to the hall and
other cells, the outer entrance
being secured by a heavy door.
The jailer in taking meals to the
prisoner frequently found him
rolled up in his bedding, appar-
emily asleep, but he would not
disturb him. This morning he
took him his morning meal, as
usual, and going to the bed to
arouse the prisoner found a roll
of bedding resembling human
form nicely covered, but no pris-
oner. When the negro made his
escape is not known. 1t is sup"
posed that he was in an adjoining
cell near the door, and when the
taller came in he left the outer
door ajar, and it was an easy
matter for the prisoner to slip out
1t was nicely planned, and worked
successfully.

Consumption l.

Salt pork is a famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. "Eat plenty of
pork" was the advice to the
consumptive 50 and 700
years ago.
Sah pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the conSumptive needs
most.
Scott 3Emulsionis themod-
2rn method Of feeding fat to
.hc consumptivo. Pork is too
rough for sensitive StomachS.
SCOTS Emulsion is the most
refined Of fats, especially
prepared for easy digestion.
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way, is half the battle, 6ut
SCOTS Emulsion does more
than that. There is some
thing about the combination
Of codlivcr oil and hypophoS-

HOME RULE
VERY SECRE7VE
MYSTERY SURROUNDS THEIR
LEY REFUSES NOMINATION.

PAIA, Maui, Sept. o.-On Thursday,
the 3rd, the Home Rule party of Maui
met in convention, in anticipation of the
coming election; and it has already
been in session for three days. The
meeting is being held in the Wailuku
Skating Rink and rs strictly private,
only the leaders of the party being al
lowed Abundance.
The results have so far been kept
very secret but it is known that Bill
White of Lahaina has a strong enough
pull to insure at least his nomination
for sheriff. The name of Speaker Beck
ley of the House was ALSO mentioned
for this position, but he withdrew.
Others ambitious for political honors,
if nothing else, are Louis Kookoo, Solo
mon Kawaihoa and 7. b. Lyons and
John Richardson.
1t is also affirmed that the Home Rule
party intends to endorse the names of
several prominent Republicans for vari-
Gus positions.
In all probability their convention
will be adjourned until the 18th, so that
they may have the result of the Repub-
lican primaries to work upon.
