Editor County Record:
did not want to trouble you with
any more of this kind of thing, but
my friend, Mr. Gordon, has hot got
face enough to meet me in public
debate, so will have to give him
another rip up the back through the
columns of your paper.
Now Mr. Gordon SAYS he is just
as much of a prohibltionlst as l am,
but he is now ashamed because the
party is low and corrupt. Mr. Gordon
occupies a queer position. He whoops
up the dispensary, but he says he
doesn't patronize it; so if everybody
treated the Great Moral Institution
as he does it would soon be put out
business, and of course it will fall
its own weight. When anything
becomes as rotten as the dispensary
it's days arc numbered. The people
will not tolerate it.

not single human virtue or interest

robber of childhood; the leech of

labor; the obstruction of commerce;
the waste of capital; the corruption
of patriotism; the promoter of crime;
the enemy of al righteousness yet
for all this, great and good men, like
Mr. Gordon, will try to hold up the
liquor traffic.
Now, Mr. Gordon tries to make it
appear that the prohibitionists are

Editor County Record:
Brother Wolfe, don't YOU think
you were too hard on me in your
editorial of Sept. 2lst. You seemed
to be little mad. Now, brother,

About two weeks ago DR. Parker

day application was made to
Secretary of State Can't for a

tai stock is to be $50, 10000,
which, we believe, is several thou
sand dollars more than any other
corporation launched in this
county. And that it will be
launched is an assured fact, for
the situation has been thorough
" canvassed, and before the ap-
plication was made about three
fifthS7of the stock was definitely
placed, and this correspondent
is informed that at this writing
there ale more applicants for
stock than can be accommo-
dated. This corporation will
absorb the business of MeSsrs
Stucky & RuRant, which has
been a very successful enter
prise. The company will enlarge
the plant on Dansing street and
add lines not heretofore attempt
ed. The new concern will deal
in live stock of all kinds, ,buggies,
wagons, carriages, harness and
saddlery, hay, grain, stock foods
of all kinds and stock medicines,
and will do a general livery and
draying business. Plans arc be-
ing prepared for a brick building

sue prospects for Southern Republican
delegates With every assurance. appar-
enIy that the aspiral1s will divide the
support Of Northern delegates. those
south OF the line between the sections
are likely TO hold q strafegacal position.
The Republican leaders in the south
are thoroughly alive ID the fact that
they may determine the name Of the
gseNt Republican nominee. and proba-
lily the name Of the President VINO sue
ceeds Roosevelt.
It is, therefore, little wonder tina |
Southern Republican leaders are
pTonpt TO recognize the activities OF
the candidates. Overwhelmingly Demo-
cratic as the South is, every state II
that section has q few Republican or
gans, whose uuterances will have dnflu-
elce in shaping sentiment. Movements
toward the control of some OF hos or
gans have been i'll contemplation. The
candidates are also improving every
opportunity to secure the ayor Of the
politicians who run things in their own
communities, while h politicians, true
to their instincts, from long experience
in Presidential contests, are beginning

deliver strength to those candidates

Because of this sensitive condition
throughout the South, Vice President
Fairbanks trip next week to Green's

been in high favor with the North Car

it is not unlikely that his efforts to help
them in building up a virile party In
