and from all indications Mr.. Mobley was
high up in the pull. When our public
roads were first worked by taxation, the
county was able to contribute ten dollars
and fifty cents per mile; reference, J. M.
Henderson and J. B. T. Scott, former
superint endent. Since that time more
miles have been added to taxation for
road purpose; reference l. M. Mobley.
During this time, no changes having
been made in the laws and never 10 re-
duction in appropriation for Union
county. The year the old county is
only able to contribute four dollars al d
twenty five cents per mile. What has
become of the money. Will Mr.. Mobley
say that the money has been stolen by
his negro overseer? If so, the people
Will understand Four dollars and
twenty five cents per mile for our grand
thoroughfares and seven dollars per
mile for that little Insignificant road
that leads down to Delta upon which
wagon is not seen once month Ref
ereEce, Mr.. VIM. Brock and Mr.. p. G.
Chiders What was Mobley's object in
contributing seven dollars of the peoples
money to this little insignificant road,
1t WAS TO deposit the Internal boil! weevl
egg that county pet could be hatched:
But Mr. Alexander, the road overseer.
bling an honest man, turned the cat out
of the wallet. If this Mexican boil
weevil has attempted to deposit his egg
with other overseers, 1 truly hope they
will prove honest men like Mr.. Alexan-
der ard place feather in their caps.
Doesn't it seem to any fair-minded
man that Mobley is conslitutionally
unable to tote fair with the dear old
county. This being the case the people
will either have to give up Mob!ey or
the county and the sooner they determ
inc, the better it will be for all concern
ed In writing up these charges have
tried to be fair and square, giving refer
ence in every instance. The press is az
free to Mr.. Mobley as it is to Inc. Why
does he not come up to the press like a
man and refute the chargesP WHY did
he not accept my cordial invitation for
an investigation? The people can
answer. No, he is depending on his
bushwhacking tactics and his fabricatinp
machine, which would make old Ana.
Mas ashamed of himself. He is assailinp
me from every quarter For what?
am no candidate. Simply because he
sees bis boil weevil laurels changing to
Goshen Hill spiders.
Mobley says that l am the lowest
man in the world. l guess he forgets
that he himself yet lives MDbley saws
that J. have not heen to church in twelve
years. Would twelve camp meetings d.
him any good. Mobley says that the
mill people are the lowest people of the
world; reference, N. w. Hutcheson,
now at Buffalo. Why does he go among
them, if they are 80 low. As am not
in the mud sliuging business, l will let
Mobley enjoy his luxuries with his fabr:-
eating machine, though il would
seemingly he my desire to coun-
termeet his attack. My friends my
expect it, but it would take An Amphig-
can light with double Aurora Borealis
to find his character. am sorry for
Mobley, sorry for any man who has been
so unfortunate, but he alone is respous-
bic. Yes, Mobley or his kind have said
that if l write another charge, they will
come down and take me out am
pretty we'll hitched up and no man, or
set Of men who wear No. hats can take
me out. Mobley would be surprised to
know that L am in possession of the
Adam Little occurrence with others that
are as dark as mid night Egypt, but hu.
manity compels me to let all pass.
