Life is in Danger

Because he was engaged in getting
out AK handle timbers for a firm
that was under the ban of the Farm
ers' union, Mr.. Joe s. Mayhem, a
former resident of the city, who ar

Mr.. Mayhem had been working as
a carpenter around Lamasco far
some time.
Mr.. Mayhem says he then got en-
ployment getting out tlmbers for a
.Clarksville firm and it soon developed
that they were under the ban of the
union.
Friday night OF last week a band
of whitecappess went to his house
and after getting him out by ruse,
made him dance and do all sorts OF
antics to please the crowd. After he
was almost dead from exhaustion
they went away and on Sunday night
returned and left bundle of
switches and a note, telling Mr.. May
hew that he would be severely dealt
with unless he left the country. Mr..
Mayhem says he went to the county
Judge of Lyon county and asked for
protection. but that official advised
him to leave the county telling him
that he would certainly be killed If
he did not. The judge advised Mr..
Mayhew to stay in the penitentiary
that night to keep out of the way of
the mob. A squad of deputies took
IN Mr.. Mayhew's family and house

Louisville. Oct. 30. -- Governor
Bradley has repeatedly made certain
specific charges against the admins
tration Of Governor Beckham. These
charges have been uttered from the
platform and printed IN the newspa-
pers. but they stlll remain unan-
swered.
On several occasions Governor
Bradley has gone extensively into
Tthe criticism OF Beckham's regime.
He has nov furnished a summary,
which IN brief and comprehensive
form shows the graft and extrava-
gance Of Democratic misrule. and
exposes the Misrepresentation tina,
have been made during the campaign
by Democratic speakers. The sum-
mary follows: .
Messrs. Beckham and Hager have
been denouncing the statements OF
Governor Bradley concerning Demo-
cratic mismanagement in Kentucky
as untrue.
On the night OF October 19 Gov
ernor Bradley. at Louisville, made
specific response. and in that rec
Spouse he proved by reference to
books by pages the falsehoods OF his
adverse les, as follows:
First Beckham's claim that the
general assembly under Bradley was
Republican Is shown to have been un-
true. as the house In 1896 and 1897
was Republican and the senate Dem
ocratic.
The statement by Mr.. Beckham
that the house Of reform was not es-
tablished at that session Is untrue
II was then established. tSee Acts
1896. Iage 5jD The messages OF
Governor Bradley OF 1896 and 1897
both call attention 10 the necessity
of the house OF reform.
Governor Bradley charges
that in 1892 the general assembly
refused to make an appropriation for
the ST. Louis exposition. which Gov
ernor Beckham has not since denied.
and that but for the action OF citl-
zens of The state no exposition could
have been had He charges the same
as TO the jamestown exposition.
Third-As to common schools,
Governor Bradley charges that the
