"Yours truly,
White & Altheimer

 You waited and cogitated long time, Mr. Philpot, over my card. 1t may please you 70 call me a tool, and to say also that you made a fight for your lawyer to whom you owed lasting debt of gratitude, but the peo- ple of this county know that I have never been controlled by any polite ian, scrip ring or bunch of politicians, and vote for whom please, and now with reluctance tell to the people your doings as Collector and, Sheriff.
 MT. Philpot claims that l have been in an office a long time. How about himself? Can any citizen hardly recall day in Jefferson county since his residence here, that he has not been holding some sort of office, eith- CT as deputy postmaster, constable, chief of police, deputy constable, dep uty sheriff and sheriff? AS deputy sheriff under James Gould he receiv- ed a salary of s2,5o0 pe- year for four years Surely he cannot com plain that he has not been pulling at the public teat.'
 MT. Philpot says I have not filed statements. He himself never filed statement antedadng mine.
 In concluding his card, Mir. Philpot says: Let's quit monkeying with the people have never "monkeyed" with the people. That seems to be MT. Philpot's trouble, and not mine The scrip dealing and scrip handling referred to above clearly show who of us have been "monkeying" with the people. Ninety per cent of the tax payers paid their taxes in cash. The Bluff City Lumber Company alone paid in cash $4,00O and there are other tax payers in Jefferson county besides the Bluff City The people will draw their own conclusions.
 I want every citizen in the county who paid his taxes in cash to hold up his hand; then look, about at multi tudes of tax payers with their hands up and you will ascertain how many people paid in scrip. K
 MT. Philpot makes in his card on the heel of the election high sounding challenges.
 My record is an open book and kept by MT. Currin Nichol and dare MT. Philpot or any other man to point out one thing that or any of my-friends would be ashamed of. My records are kept daily, balanced monthly and scrutinized both by me and my dep- uty, MT. Nichol.
 I ask my friends in conclusion, to stand firm. We have won our figh, and no one knows 1t better than MT Philpot, and his scrip dealing friends and also MT. Skinner
 Gratefully yours,

Those who would not be defrauded
by sharpers who use the advertising
columns of the city papers would do
well In carefully considering each
proposition which attracts their atten.
ton. Remember that those who ad.
vertise are not philanthropists. They
are out after the dollars, and have
nothing to give away, unless It is in
exchange for money. The concern
that offers an exceptional bargain
needs to be studied well before in
vestment be made. Everything has
a legitimate value. and is worth so
much in the markets Of the world.
When 1t Is offered at less than its
apparent real value, look out for fraud
and deception. Generally every good
town affords the buyer a chance to
obtain whatever he requires. and ut
price consistent with quality.
Those who patronize home stores are
less likely to be deceived.

Trust Graft"

One OF the practices OF the trusts in
the marketing Of their products. is
the prize schemes. In order to induce
the consumers to use their various
brands OF goods. attractive offers are
made to exchange different articles
for certificates and coupons. But It
Is always intended that the consum-
ers pay the freight" Generally
where premiums are offered with
goods. the packages are short In
weight, or few cents more charged
than goods Of like kind sell for. Thus
It can be seen how the premiums
given are paid for by the consumer.
and he pays high price for the
prizes he draws. Goods that are
given away with purchases cost
money. Their cost does not come out
OF the pockets Of the manufacturers,
but out Of the purses of the people
who use the goods. II one desires to
buy sugar. he does not care to pay
for the scoop or shovel. He wants
sugar. and at the lowest price con-
sistent. He knows that II he takes
the scoop or the shovel some one
pays the bill. Various systems of
premium giving have been devised.
Some call for certain number OF
coupons of some sort, and SO much
cash, or some article just for the
coupons alone. Where cash is re.
CURED along with coupons there is
an additional profit in the
deal aside from that made on the
goods with which coupons are given.
1t is well to buy goods on their merits
alone. Buy what you want and at
the right price. and you will be ahead
of the premium plan.
