The Rspublican-Press has been
prating about the Newberry fine OF
$500 not being paid into the school
fund by the circuit clerk. II has
practically charged that the money
would never be paid and was lost to
the school fund. Now, II Mr.. Funk
will take the pains to investigate he
will find that the money has been
paid into the county treasury and
treasurer Bell has placed it In the
proper fund. Mr.. Patterson says he
usually paid over such trust funds
to the county treasury when he se%-
tied with the county court, that
when question was raised as to the
regularity OF such proceedings, he
FASTENED to pay this money over.
No one has been injured a penny;
and Mr.. Funk raised a great cry
against Mr.. Patterson's technical
hardness, for the sole purpose OF
manufacturing political capital.

Judge Denton, in dismissing the

complimented them very highly and
said that he had never had more in

COWHERD IN BUTLER.

Hon. W. 8. Cowherd spoke to q
court room comfortably well filed
with voters, on Saturday afternoon.
Mr.. Cowherd Is a strong man and
his argument was q iorceiul presen-
tatlon OF the political issues from a
Democratic stand point. Among
others he took up the Republi-
can stereotyped argument that
Cleveland's administration brought
on the panic OF 1898. He showed
that Mr.. Cleveland was inaugurated
in March and that the panic swept
over the country in May or June OF
the same year, less than four months
afterwards. He then showed that
the worst panic this country ever
knew, that OF 1873, occurred under
q strongly intrenched Republican
administration He showed very
plainly the iallscy Of the Republican
claims that Democratic admins
tration was responsible for the fnan.
cial troubles OF 1898. Mr.. Cowherd
said that be was school mate OF
Judge Graves, had watched his rise
in the world with pride and grati6-
cation and said he was to-day recog-
nized by the bar OF the state as at
the very head Of thelegal profession.
He paid q glowing tribute to Judge
DeArmond. Said he was feared
more by Republicans than any Dem
ocrat In Congress- andpredictsd that
when Democrats come into power In
the House, that DeArmond would
be the speaker. It IL to be regretted
that every voter In Bates county
could not hear Mr.. Cowherd.

OUR LAST WORDS.

With this issue THE TINES part In |
the campaign Of 1905 closes, We
have tried to the best OF our ability,
fairly and honorsbly, to setthe poit
zeal Issues before she people in their
true light. and TO give isir and exact
Justice 10 ell the candidates. We
maintain on our lnsegrity.thss, taken
as q whole, the Democratic party Of
Bates equity never presented a better
ticket TO the voters, and We believe
that the ticket will receive the hearty
support of every true Democrat.
1t has been she Gust m OF the r
publican party to select one or I've
candidates on the ticket on whom
to concentrate the fight, knos'n
that It is impossible TO win tie
whole ticket. This time they ar
making the special fight on the
county court. They are doing THE,
not because their candidates for
Judges are stronger, or the Demo
cratic candidates weaker, but be-
cause they realiss the Importance
Of che county -conrt from q political
view.
We invite a comparison between
our candidates for county court
judges, John W. McFsdden, Estes
smith and A. d. Hyde, and the Re
publican nominees, R, F. Harper, W.
II. DeArmond and John Armstrong
Granting that they are all good men
and nothing derogatory can be said
against esther, then there Is no rea
son why any Democrat should vote
against his own party nominees
thereby giving political advantage
to the Republican party, which they
are so strenuously striving for.
tits generally conceded that all the
I other candidates will be elected BY
an increased Democratic majority.
We urge upon every Democrat tc
60 to the polls and vote for the par
ty nominees, without q scratch
thereby helping the party to win q
signal victory and paving the way
for q glorious victory In county
state and nation two years hence.

Referring again TO the big short
age iu the public funds deposited In
she St. Louis subtreasury, 1t is inter-
estipg to note that while the other
st, Louis newspapers Of October
l4.h cont aimed full accounts Of this
startling discovery, the Globe Dem
crat Of that date did not contain
one line. This was not due toignor
ance Of the facts on the part oi the

political terror which has often shak.

The statement made by the Repub.
lican. Press that Democrats In the
north part Of the county are Offering
to trade votes for Watt Dawson, IL
about as ridiculous a lie as could
have been invented by that radical
sheet for political purposes. The
lie Is not even made plausible, by be-
ing placed In a section OF the county,
where Mr.. Dawson was practically
unknown until the beginning OF this
campaign. 1t is an old, but disrepu
table trick In politics, to array the
friends Of one candidate against
another. There is no need Tor any
Democrat to trade on any candi'
date. Iievery Democrat will vote bic
ticket straight, every Democratic
candidate will be elected.

WARNING.

We desire so warn the Democrats
from believing any observation-disclosures
sprung on any candidate on the eve
OF the election. Plenty OF time has
been given for all parties to bring
out ell features OF the campaign and
any story against a candidate at
this late date should not be given
credence. You viii know IL IL af,lse-
hood and could be easily reiuted by
the other party, or 1t would not have
been held In allegiance until the last
moment. Go to the polls and vote
your ticket straight, your conscience
will be clear, and you will have the
satisfaction OF helping your party
win a glorious victory.

Cattle RaIssrs Mako Protest.

/ Washington, June 9.-When the beef

committee on agriculture begun to. day,
Representative Garner, of Texas, made q
plea for speedy action. "Since this mat
ter came up" he said, "the people who
have contracted to take our Texas steers
have become alarmed and say they don't
know whether or not they are going to
take our cattle, and the result is we are
In state of uncertainty. want to sug-
gest that the committee get through
with the matter as soon as possible.
Every day this thing is continued the
stock man is losing money"
Representative Davis, of Minnesota,
read telegram from the South st. Paul
Live Stock Exchange and Live Stock
Board, voicing opposition to having the
expense placed on the packers because it
would inevitably come out of the former
stock raisers.
Mr.. Wilson, who represented the
packers, corroborated this conclusion.
Several te grams were read from cat
tie raisers in Colorado and Texas to the
effect that the present agitation would
bring about a heavy decline In the prices
of cattle.
Representative Haughen, of Iowa,
asked =. IL. Cuwan, of Fort Worth,
Texas, # he had read the Presidents
message which estimated the cost of in
spection at eight cents head.
He had. he said, "but we do not want
to pay 1t, that's our reason,' replied
Cowap. But rather than do without
the law we would be glad to levy the
cost on the CATTLE"
Mr.. Haughen said that every member
o, the committee, 80 far as he knew, was
in favor of the government paying the
cost This cost has been estimated at
from $4,000, COO to 500, ,OOO, 900 annually.
DR.. Melvin, chief of the bureau of ami
NAL industry, gave it as his opinion that
canned meats kept under favorable con.
ditions aud air-tight would keep indef1-
nitely.
Mr.. Wilson, representing the packers,
said at this point: "The Japanese gov
ernment sent a committee of officials
who made All inspection of the plants
and methods, after which they bought
many hundred thousands of cases of
goods. Russia, during the war, was
large purchaser, but without inspection
or examination. Occasionally other
countries send a representative to make
an examination of the plants and
methods"
In Ir1 IN L..
wadsworth, he said the only foreign
complaint as to American meat he had
ever received was as to three or four
barrels of pigs feet that went down to
South America and were spoiled in
transit.

Court Find. laarsa. Election Was Void.

- = .s . .a 3 q
Columbia, June 13.-Judge Hy-
drick handed down his decision in
L. Z. Wright VS.. Ed. L. Jones, in
which he reversed the decision of the
State Board of Canvassers.
This case was proceeding grow
ing out of the dispensary election in
1.aurens county, held on the 9th day
of January, 1906, under the Brice
law. In this election the majority
of votes as counted was in favor of
no dispensary. A protest was filed
before the county board by Mr..
Wright and the county board held
that as so many Irregularities ex-
listed and no legal election had been
held, declared the one held void and
of no effect.
Both the dispensary and the anti
dispensary sides appealed to the
State Board. The State Board
found certain Irregularities to have
existed as a matter of fact in this
election, but they held that as no
fraud was charged or shown to exist,
the election should be held as valid
and the decision of the county board
was accordingly reversed and the
dispensary must close.
a writ of certiorari was obtained
from Judge Hydrick and argued be-
fore him on the 26th day of April in
Columbia. He has sustained the
ground of the petition, that inasmuch
as this irregularity did exist, after
the production of required registra.
tion certificates and proof of pay
ment of taxes, no valid election was
held, and consequently reversed the
State Board and sustained the posi-
tion taken by the county board. The
dispensary consequently will still
continue to operate in Laurens
county.
