Joint dscussionsthe friends, or committees, repre-

the convenience and previous engagements and bust

and saying-'T the following times and
places"
The arrangement proposed by you, far as can
gather it from the press, is austere, mperious and
dictatoral; and in keeping with the bossism which
has dominated some conventions in which you have
been prominent figure and beneficiary.
Any remarks made by me in my speech of accept
ance had reference to fair usual and courteous
discussion of the ssues-not to an ex parte, or un-
fair arrangements and believe your representative
ness, together with innate tendency to bossism
the part of those about you has mpeled you to sug
gest this unfair scheme.
Weeks before you issued your ukase / was engaged
for three of your selected dates-October 3rd, a
delegate to Masonic Chapter at Columbus; October
10TH to deliver address to K P.'s at Hamden june

life. Nor should yon and your select coterie have
overlooked the thriving and populous cities and vii

aborers reside who are as mpch entitled to hear us
as residents of county seats
My arrangements were all made for the campaign
before your pronunciamento was issued Three weeks
after my nomination you suddenly conceived that
you had been challenged, and published your unique
political manifesto. Had you made the desires of
your heart known in time for myself and friends to
have reasonably complied, you could have been fully
Accommodated. But the arrangements demanded by
you, unjust to me, and my friends advise me to
ignore them. My plans all made; yours.
Further communication between u.s. the subject,
would be fruitless.
Let each pursue the even tenor of his way, and
let the people decide who shall represent them in this
magnificent old district, ably championed by that
gallant soldier, General Grosvenor

DOUGLAS
MEETING.
A Frost that Would Perish
Microbes.

On Friday night the Douglas
meeting was pulled off in the Court
House at Logan. Mr.. Douglas
was the speaker; Harry Daugher-
ty failed to come. There were
about an hundred present and very
little enthusiasm displayed. The
famous disinfectant quartette sang
about voting in November, IN
pleasing harmony about like exists
in their party this fall. Judge S.
H. Bright, upon whom they al
ways depend to do the nice thing,
and they never support when he
runs, presented the candidate.
Boss John White sat the farthest
back in the farthest corner. That
was one of the Douglas plays of
the meeting. They can have their
secret sessions in Columbus, but
when in Logan they must not be
seen together.
In all candor, in clean cut or
atorical presentation of subject,
we were never treated to a more
egotistical, self-aggrandising eff
fort. One to have heard Mr..
Douglas, and not known that he
is naturally swelled up and self
important, would have thought he
was the greatest man in his party
in the state. He had written the
State platform, almost every i'm
portant plank in it. The great
Roosevelt plank he wrote, and the
anti-boss proclamation in fact he
had written it all, except he did
not mention the Temperance"
plank that he is said to have writ
tea, that so we'll suited the Brew
er's Association. Mr.. Douglas re.
GREETED in his speech the crooked
manner in which he was nominat-
ed and deplored the factional
strife in his party. Said he did
not represent either faction. That
he had received place on the
ticket at the hands of regularly
called convention, and was entitled
to the support of his party. He
told how proud he is to be the
nominee OF his party in so magni-
ficent district, and in the next
breath told how ashamed he is of
being nominated by most high.
handed and politically polluted
convention. Said his nomination
did not cost him as nuch as his
hat. (John White turned red in
the face He plead for harmony
while he is the candidate and
beneficiary, but when others were
candidates he was not so much for
harmony. As one republican put

Mr. Douglas certainly could not
have been encouraged by sucll
meeting. He looked worried and
plead for votes in this big district
that is 10000 republican. Said
men should be governed by parties
and stick to their parties, regard

JUDGE WRIGHT REPLIES.
Logan, Ohio, October l, 1905


Hon. Albert Douglas,
Chillicothe, Ohio
Dear Sir;-Seryice by publication has
been made on me, that you and your congressional
committee. aided and abetted by astute political
bosses, have arranged joint debates with me at five
places in the Eleventh District This is very kind
and considerate, and relieves and my friends from
any responsibility or voice in the matter.
1t is claimed that YOU posted letter apprisng me
OF this arbitrary selection of times and paces. Up
to this hour no such communication has reached me-
Every letter received by during this campaign
has been carefully preserved and filed for reference
and am sorry to say that no communication of any
kind, with your distinguished autograph, is among
them.
Yourself and friends, through the press are divid
ed as TO when, where by whom, the challenge, or
as you call it, the acceptance" was mailed Those
who know me will testify that neither negligence,
indifference or cowaFdice, would restrain either y
self. or my advisers from prompt and courteous
reply TO an opponent, seeking to meet me, in any
honorable OF reasonable manner

The county campaign is skimmng along with
little said either side 1t is decent so far and we
hope it will continue such There is nothing so un-
fortunate as for some candidate side or other
starting some skulduggerY that precipitates warm
newspaper fight We believe we have enough of the
old time fire and fumes in us to probably hold our
own in personal contest but do not enjoy it, and
will avoid it as long the opposition keep sweet.
The candidates on both sides are citizens among us
with families, aud deserve to be treated like gentle
men. and we shall accord the opposition such treat
ment and expect the same from them.

thing there appears in IT, and he writes every word
except signed communications. There always
those knockers that are ready to make Vugarty
out Of everything they read and then spread around
their vile interpretation and try to work up boom

responsibility and it is only his alleged friends of
his party that trying to foist smutty stories
upon him. Clean men with clean minds have their
harmless jokes, and evil men with vulgar thoughts,
make filth OF innocent fun. Suffice il to say that
there never appeared any low insinuations in this

The TIP is out, that if Dick wins out this fall
handsomely that is if his candidate for secretary of
state has big majority he will Immediately begin

tion of 1908 instruct for him for president. Think
of it and citizens The noble Buckeye state de-
scending to such political degradation to put for
ward little Charlie Dick for the highest office in the
land. Think of it too, that whenever you vote for
Carm Thompson you vote for just that very thing.
You may be pretty thick skinned as partisan, but
we do not believe you tough enough to withstand
such dart that.

"foBE" BARRON, everybody calls him Globe, is
the Democratic candidate for County Commissioner.
1t is not matter of singing songs and blowing
trumpets that will walk Mr. Barron into the office of
County Commissioner. 1t is resorting to the presen-
tation of good to the attention of the
thinking people. He is high up in the profession of
contracting and building and Commissioners will
saye this county thousands of dollars by his know
ledge of public work. He is man for Improvement
yet fully efficient to make improvements throughout

quainted with his opponent personally but GER
tain that he can not be more Qualified to fill that
place than Mr. Barron.

OF PAPER
The Credit is Given to a Chairman of
the First Century.

Paper was invented by a Chinaman
who was contemporaneous with Christ.
He was a secretary at court during the
reign Of Kwang WI, a prince who
reigned A. D. 1858. In early ages
when the Chinese had no written Ian
guage they had no special need Of pa
per. Real estate transfers were cerli-
fed by means of a piece of cord, ir
which knots were tied according IA
the number of acres sold Or the prica
paid. But as population increased
and business transfers became more
frequent something more definite than
the cord vas needed, and the art of
writing came into use. At that time
the deed of purchase consisted of a
few letters on a bit of bamboo. As
knowledge increased and literature be-
gan to be cultivated, legal and histor-
zeal records became more numerous
These bamboo strips were then found
to be heavy and cumbersome, and the
need of a lighter and less bulky mate
rial was felt.
The secretary, Ts'ai Lun, then be.
san LIE CApNA ALA1hlo III PopK1
How long he worked before he met
with success is not known; but, at any
rate, the materials with which he
experimental and Of which paper was
formed are, with all the experience
which has since been gained, found to
be the best for the purpose.
Though Chinese have since substi-
tuted other materials for the forma-
ton Of the pulp from which their pa
per is made-purely for economical
reasons-Ts'ai Lun had the satisfac-
ton of accomplishing that for which
he had worked.
The name of manufacture soon
became generally known, and paper
factories were established in all parts
of the kingdom. With the spread CT
learning, which received an impetus
from the facilities afforded by this in
vention, the demand for paper soon
exceeded the supply. Old rags were not
plentiful nor cheap enough to permit
of paper being made and sold as
cheaply as was necessary or desirable.
Accordingly experiments were made
with other substances and proved IL
cessful.-New York Herald.

The Charlotte Chronicle editor be-
comes so enthused over the prospects
of big times at the twentieth of May
celebration that he gets things a little
mixed. Mayor McNinch's dispatch
from Washington to The Chronicle
says the secretary of war has ordered
Troop E of the 18th cavalry and two
companies Of infantry to attend the
celebration, w~hereupon that paper COM
ments editorially upon the good news
that they are going to have the crack
cavalry regiment" from Fort Meyer
and two infantry regiments" from
Atlanta. We will excuse Brother Har-
his. though: for we know how jubilant
and excited he feels over the prospects
of the big time Charlotte is going TO
have. We hope all North Carolina
will turn out on the occasion and show
the Charlotte people that they appre-
ciate the efforts to properly celebrate
this important day in Americas his

brary, which has to do with the mark
ing of battle-fields and erection of
monuments.
Although Mr.. Thomas Is successful
in conserving the material interests of
his district, he is fully able to contend
on the floor as well, and has made sew
eral excellent speeches. Among these
was one in December on the Philip
pine tariff bill, which attractd mucn
attention. He had made a careful
study of the subjects of tariff and re-
ciprocity, n his speech was in
behalf of the southern farmer and
planter, for the expansion of u trade,
and for new and wider markets. His
speech on the Hepburn rate bill was
also faborably received. In the latter
he argued especially for the govern
mental regulation of the private car
lines in the interest Of the strawberry
growers and truckers of the greaf aAe-
ton which he represents.
In other speeches and in other ways
Mr.. Thomas has shown that he Is emf
nently worthy of the confidence his
people seem to have in him. He will
probably spenu many years OF his life
IN the public service, though he gave
up a lucrative and growing law prac-
tice TO take the seat in congress, 10
which he was elected eight years
ago He is only forty-fve years old.
He is an alumnus Of the University
OF North Carolina. n the address
which he delivered before the Alumni
Association of the University last year
was n Of the best ever head by
that body. Mr.. Thomas Is a growing
man. His influence is already extend
ed far beyond the bounds of his dis
trict. His studious habits, his custom
OF getting together all the information
possible on every subject that comes
up, and his ability 10 use IL when the
time comes. and his t~ireless energy
in behalf of any measure which he
may espouse, in addition to his native
abilities, will continue to tell. He has
always been opposed by strong men
for congress, but he has always won
b big maiorities. Mr.. Thomas gives
a good accoun of himself wherever
he is found.

A INVENTION
New Devices for Throwing Switches
Will Soon be Patented.

Mr.. j. W. Tatum. the local inventor.
has perfected another device which
promises to be Of great importance
in railroad service.
It Is an automatic switch and Is 10
be operated by the engineer. The
working details of the apparatus nave
not been given out, as Mr.. Tatum has
not applied for a patent. This will be
done IN a short while. The switch,
however. Is thrown open by a lever
In the engine cab. and closes automat-
ically after the train passes over.
The invention is an important one
from b fact that 1t will do away
with the necessity OF a train having
to slow down while some one runs
ahead to open the switch, and elimi-
mates the danger Of switches being left
open by the carelessness or negligence
OF railroad employes-Durham Sun.
