 As has already been announced a | number of prominent citizens of Mont gomery. among them Mir. vandiver. some time ago extended an invitation ] to Representative Burton to visit Ala banla. Several of the members of the Rivers and Harbors Committee. last spring made visit to the Southern States. stopping in Mobile and Mont gomery. but the Chairman of the Com

My attention has been called to an article. appearing in the Enterprise, a newspaper, published at Edwardsville, Ala, signed by one R. N Franklin, stating that MT. D. M. White of Good- water, Ala, was indicted three years ago in the United States Court
 Having been United States Attorney from 1897 to 1906. friends of Mir. White have appealed to me, to state the true facts and are desirous of giving as much publicity to 1t as possible, since Dr. W. H Moon, Mir Whites oppo- nent for the State Senate. has made this same charge against Mir. White.
 There is absolutely no truth in this charge. Mir White has never been in- dicted in the United States Court, but three years ago twelve indictments were returned into the United States Court. against R. N Franklin for violating the peonage statutes of the United States. am a Republican and have no interest in the fight for the nomination for State Senator, in the Democratic primaries. but I do not feel justified in remaining quiet, when I see an injustice done, about which I feel 1t is in my power to give the true facts.

crew of men to load the mill that
the company has released at

A Bumper Crop of Grain 10 the
Great Northwest.
Means That the Washburn
Elevator Will be a Busy
Place This Fall.

Never before has the pros
poets for a bumper" crop of
grain from all over the North
west looked so promising as just
now and unless some unfore-
seen calamity happens this will
be one of the best years that the
farmers of the country have ever
had.
Washburn will no doubt come
in for it's share of the business
as well as other lake ports and
it is expected that the coming
fall will see one of the busiest
times in the history of the Wash
burn elevator. All this prosper
ity among the farmers will also
mean much to Washburn as ad-
ditional crews of men will be
employed on the railroads run
ming into this place and a large
crew of men will be employed
at the elevator in order to handle
the grain that will come in.
Grain trimmers will also have
much work as many boats will
be used in shipping the grain
to eastern markets.
The farmers in Bayfield, coun-
ty also report crops looking the
best that they have in years and
they expect a heavy yield. The
hay crop just being cut has been
a big one and the farmers will
soon be getting returns in
money for their products. From
now on Washburn business men
can expect a prosperous season.
