Shame on set of men who would
try to rob the gallant son of old Crit
tenden of the honor so justly earned.
Talk to me about the pitiful sum of
one hundred dollars being pulled
from our county. Why do you not
talk about the four thousand dollars
which he saved for the county; he
would have been cheap lawyer at a
one thousand dollar fee.
In answer to me last week you say
the document was a weak production.
That it may be; how about the at
tempted answer? Aftes scanning it
over | came to the conclusion that it
was like the young husband who was
nursing his first born offspring. The
little fellow was very noisy when the
good little woman told him to slap
the kid. He trutbfully told the good
woman he could not find a place big
enough. So it is with the attempted
answer. 1t is not big enough to slap.
Possibly if the writer had been clos
eted on Thursday with o. NJ. james
it would have been big enough to
have slapped. ." \ .

of having the raise taken off Who

Not a man beneath the sun. | am
sorry to say that old Crittenden
county has a man within her limits,
that will stoop so low as to pluck the
laurels from the crown of a gifted
son of our beloved county, who is
companion at home and an introduce
ton abroad.
Again, in 1905 | was notified by
the same state board that all our pro-
perty, both real and personal was raj
ed 20 per cent, and the Record says
that nothing would do but | must
take o. NJ. James again. Why did
| take him? l will admit that he did
did not want to 90, believing, as he
had the right to believe, that the Re-
cord writers did not appreciate his
services. Notwithstanding this such
men as James A. Moore, W. b. Van
dell, John Pickens and every member
of the fiscal court, advised me to
employ o. NJ. James if possible. Be-
sides these gentlemen, who are most
ly republicans. also had to ask the
assistance of Press Maxwell. Blue &
Num-, and many other democratic
taxpayers to help me secure the SER
vices of the man of the county s
choice to represent us before the state
board of equalization. However, |
prevailed on him to go and with the
same good results. l came back and
told my people that we had made an
other victory and the honor was just
ly due o. NJ. James.
You say that Henderson and Vel
don presented such an array of facts
from the records in the county clerk $
Office. How do you know what they
presented2 | want to tell you that
when the case was called that o. NJ.
James appeared before the board as q
lawyer, and had me and Mr.. Weldon
put on the witness stand. No other
witness was introduced. Mr.. James
brought cut the evidence and exhib-
ted the facts so clearly to the mem
bcrs of the board, all of whom are his
personal friends, that they informed
him before noon that he had been sue
cessful in having his county relieved
of heavy tax.
Crittenden press. [volume] (Marion, Ky.) 1879-1907, 1905-10-26

Is the headline of deceptive arti-
Gle in last week issue of the Record.
The writer of that article would have
you believe that | have some special
love for q. VI. James. What is it
that brings about that belief? In
1903 the state board of equalization
raised our taxes ID per cent. and no
tilted me as your coenty Judge to ap-
pear in Frankfort on day fixed by
them with witnesses to show cause
if any we had, why said raise should
not remain.
This was new business to me, and
for fear that | might not start out
right consulted the heaviest taxpay-
ers of the county, among whom were
some leading republicans and to my
surprise they were the first men to tell
me that | could not relieve them of
of that raise without the aid of good
counsel. 1t is matter of dollars
and cents, not politics. In all my
inquiring | never met man, old or
young, democrat or republican, who
did not advise me to employ D. M.
Jamos. What better could LIDO, see
ing that the taxpayers wenc not will
ing to risk me and Mr.. Henderson,
when so much was at stake, Then il
was that | spoke to Mr.. o. NJ James
to go with us to Frankfort TO which
he consented. | gave him county
order for $50, which he cashed for
$47. When we arrived in Frankfort
We soon found that our case would be
called at 10 o'clock next morning, at
which time we met the equalization
board in the old senate chamber; and
| want to say to you now that the
fight made by o. NJ. James for old
Crittenden county before the board Of
equalization convinced me that the
taxpayers Of our grand old county
bad a friend in the person of o. NJ.
James. After he had won the
victory for our county and had the
last cent of the raise taken off, how
proud was to meet my county
friends and tell them that they advis-
ed me right when they told me to
employ o. NJ. James. But later on
| saw in the columns of the Record
that another man claimed the honor

The presentation last evening was

Many amusing scenes are brought out

As would be natural in rural plays Zeke

wonder of things glorious to themselves

The other parts were we'll sustained
