A CARD.
To the Taxpayers and Voters Of La
fayette County.

The campaign liar is in the
field doing his dirty work as usual.
For some weeks there have been
rumors industriously circulated,
slanderously crlticizing me in re-
gard to the fees of witnesses,
iuries and stenographers collected
by me as circuit clerk. These it
was charged, l retained, and have
not paid over to the county treas
urer. OF course l could not pub
licly reply to the rumor, but at
last, on the eve of election, the
Higginsville Advance, ''by au-
thority of the republican county
committee of Lafayette county"
publishes in its issue of October
26, a statement which, by in
nuendo, seeks to make the impress
sion on the public mind that | am
retaining unlawfully in my pos
session fees, which l should turn
over to the county treasury.
1t will be noticed that there is
published a long list of fees which
| have turned over to the treasur-
er, but not a single case is speci-
fed wherein the fees have not
been paid. Instead of charging
me in an open, manly manner
with retaining fees unlawfully
and specifying at least one CASE in
which l have retained the fees, it
is a%rtfully implied by referring to
the small number of cases wherein
l have paid over the fees, and at
tempting to make a comparison
with the last period of six months
which over-averaged the general
sum. If / have retained one
single fee belonging to others, the
matter would appear at once upon
an inspection of the records of my
office and the republican COM
mittee could have discovered at
least one case upon which to base
a direct charge; but instead of
this they have chosen to insinuate
a lie when the truth was so easily
accessible. My books are open to
everybody. Come and see for
yourselves. They are public rec
ords.
| state here | have paid over
to the treasurer every dollar of
fees received by me andE re-
quired by law to be turned over.
If it should appear to the read
er that the number of jury cases
is small they will remember:
First, that the number of jury
cases compared with the whole
number of suits is very small.
Second, that many of these are
tried by special iuries who are
paid by the parties asking fcr
them and are sometimes paid di-
rectly to the jurors.
Third, that the jury fees are
taxed to the losing party and very
frequently nothing can be made
out of him, and in such case the
fees are never paid.
Fourth, that quite a number o.
the fees are collected by the sher.
if and accounted for by him.
Fifth, that apr cal cases from
the Probate court are certified
back to that court and collected
there.
So twill appear that but a small
part of the fees ever come into
my hands. 1t being only the feel
in those cases where the costs are
voluntarily paid to the clerk.
What do the voters Of the coun.
ty think of a party whose man.
agement thus seek to manufacture
political capital by blackening the
reputation Of a citizen by dirty
innuendo. based upon no fact.
whatever?
The short time allowed befor,
this must be given the printer pre-
vents a more perfect answer now
As soon as possible, in a day 0.

FLIES OVER WASHINGTON.
Stopped Airship at Capitol and
White House.

In an airship last week Lincoln
Beachey sailed from the Virginia side
OF the Potomac to Washington, a dis
tance of four miles, and after visiting
the White House and the Capitol, al
most causing a suspension of public
business, he returned to the place
whence he started. The trip to Wash
ington was made in Is minutes, and in
returning IL minutes of time was con-
sumed. Beachey seemed to have per-
feet control of the movements of the
airship. 1t scared gracefully over
housetops, avoiding tall chimneys and
skyscraper buildings, and circled around
the Washington Monument twice. Dur
ing the journey the machine was brought
to earth three times-once at the foot
of monument, once at the White House
and once at the Capitol. From the
White House the aeronaut guided his
airship down Pennsylvania avenue,
maintaining height of from $50 to 500
feet. During the fight business in
Washington was practically at stand
still. The streets were filed with peo-
pie, the roofs of houses We're covered
with them.

HIGH SCHOOL AT HEATHSVILLE,

The fact that High School will soon
be established at this place gives evil
dence of increased interest on the part
of all school officials in education, and it
now becomes the duty of parents and
the general public to support them in
its proper management This school is
for the training and education of our
boys and girls. 1t has great purpose
to accomplish, and the officials should
give every assurance that the children
sent to this school shall be cared for in
every way-made comfortable and have
every opportunity for physical and
mental growth and development. Now
the trustees can't do this by them
selves. They need the cooperation of
the patrons, of the school. If the
teachers could only feel that the par
ents are their friends, that they wanted
their children corrected for improper
behavior, great impetus would be
given school management. The great
trouble heretofore has been criticism
of the teachers. Let this stop. 1t
has been said that the people who know
most about raising children are those
who have none, and those who talk
most about school disciplin, selection of
teachers, ETC., are those who send no
children to school. Now let all this sort of
thing stop. Show the teachers you are in
terested in their work by visiting them
in the school room, for, say half-hour,
once in awhile and hear the children
recite. Let the ladies manifest their
interest by attending also, seeing to
the neatness and comfort of the rooms
(the teachers have enough without that
care) and let them hang some cheap
prints of picture on the walls, remem-
bering that the schoolhouse is next to the
home. Now word as to the teachers.
1t is to be hoped the trustees will ap-
point no one who is not willing to read
few verses from the Bible each morn
ing and offer short prayer. "In all
thy ways acknowledge Him." By recent
decision, it is notnecessary that the prin-
cipal of the school be an A. B. or A. M.
although it is better he should be. The
trustees should therefore select all three
of the teachers from among our own peo-
pie. This idea of importation each
year is all a farce. There are num-
ber of deserving young ladies and gen.
tlemen in the Northern Neck from which
to make selection. No two teachers,
it is said, have evergiven more general
satisfaction than Miss Eva Anderson
(now Mrs. Thomas) and Jodie Ander-
son, her brother, and they came from
our midst. Then speak an encourag-
ing word to the trustees, for theirs is
largely labor of love. X.
