A DISGRACE TO THE COUNTRY.

The fact that an American Fedora tion of Labor delegation has asked General Funston, commanding the United States troops now at Goldfield, New, for protection for American Fed eration people from the Western Fed eration of Miners and it's hired assas- sins is one striking consequence of the terrorist methods systematically prac- ticed by the Western Federation of Miners and revealed at the Haywood trial, says the Charlotte Observer Members of the delegation declared that they had lived in constant fear for months and had felt it necessary to go armed at all times. Their story accords we'll with the known expert ence of others wherever the Western Federation chiefs have encountered any resistance to their rule. When this murderous organization invaded the Minnesota mining region not long ago it terrorized the Minnesota mine workers without regard to whether
 
 and so conducted itself from the very first day that within a few weeks it's invading officials and their band of thugs were run out of the district by a general uprising. It no more tol- crates opposition at the hands of non terrorist labor bodies than at the hands of any one else, and gladly turns from blowing up law officers who molest it's assassins-eX-Sherif Baker of Oregon, went the way of ex-Governor Steunenberg very recent ly-to intimidating rivals in it's own sphere if there are any decent men in such an organization their mem- bership must be unwilling. The Western Federation of Miners is a burning disgrace to the country. and all good citizens will welcome the day when it meets the end it de- serves.

DISCUSSING THE
 CITY ELECTION Much Speculation as to Can didates for Adermanic Po- sitions to Four Alder men
FOR CITY ATTORNEY
w. E. SOrrells and Irving Reinberger Announce-Dunnington and Hud- son May Have Opposition-Com.
 mittee Meets After County Election

While the county candidates are
 busy making preparations for the final battle of ballots" which will take place at the primaries to be held 1 in this county on January2, there is no little speculation i'll the coming city election, which will take place on the second Tuesday in April. Although the date seems far away at this time, the indications are that there will be some warm contests for aldermanic positions and especially is a hot con Itest promised ill the race for city at torney, two candidates, w. B. Sor- rells and Irving Reinberger, local attorneys, having already announced their intention of getting into the game. 1t is not known at this time whether City Attorney W. F. Coleman will seek reelection, but there are rumors to the effect that he will re- tire from the office at the expiration of his term to give all of his time to his legal business.
 At the coming election a city clerk is also to be elected. City Clerk VA. Lee, who has served in that capacity in most satisfactory manner for the past two years, will hardly have appo- sition for the office. He will ask for reelection, it is tated, but in all probability there will be no other an- nouncements for the place.
 The terms of four aldermen. one from each ward, expire at the end
 of the present municipal year. They are Fred Fox, from the First ward; Harvey Hudson, from the Sec ond ward Charles Dunnington, from the Third ward, and J. A. Clement from the Fourth ward. There are some we'll defined rumors in circula- ton to the effect that there will be opposition in the Second ward and also the Third ward to Hudson and Dunnington. Although none of the -four councilmen have announced that they would ask for reelection it is generally believed that they will be candidates at the April election
 The meeting of the Democratic city central committee will not be called until after the county primary cleo
 ton is over. The general sentiment seems to favor a city primary fol lMarch.

SHELBY MAKES
 A CORRECTION
Says His First Sworn Statement Was IncOrrect-JeSSe Core Presents Other Charges ill Answer to Sheriff Philpot's Recent
 Statement.

MT. Philpot through the press at tempts to reply to my last card. He does not deny my charges as to the $500 lawyers fee; the $500 subscrip- ton to the Cotton Association; the $250O subscription for dogs and $315.00 for horses, Or the charge of s5OOo for Sheriff and $5,O00 as Col lector. All these against the tax pay CTS of Jefferson county, but admits if Judge Grace won't allow these charges, that theE- may be charged up to him.
 Suppose there had been no Jesse Core to call attention ,o these charges, and suppose there was no Judge Grace to strike them from his credit in his account. Where would be the tax payer? "In the soup" To. the poor tax payer.
 In MT. Philpots card which he re- gently published, he gave an affidavit of Mr. Shelby. I here re-publish this affidavit and Mr. Shelby's statement about it under his oath. and from which the people will see that Mir. Shelby never intended to make such an affidavit, but completely exoneraJes me from the charge made by Mfr. Phil pot The affidavit is as follows: Be it remembered that on this d2v, personally appeared before me, the Clerk of the Circuit Court of Jeffer- son county. Arkansas. John H. Shel- by, who, aitel being by me duly sworn states that the following parties pre- sented for payment from October 1st, 1906, to November 1st. 1907, county scrip as follows:
 c. H. Triplett ...............$ o9i 90 W. B. Alexander ............s. 15S935 Jesse R. Core .....:........6 60o5.04
 J. H. Shelby,
 County Treasurer.
 Subscribed and sworn to before me this Fist day of December, 1907.
 Edgar Brewster,
 Clerk of the Circuit Court
 The above affidavit was brought to me already prepared by MT. c. M. Philpot, and believing that it was all right and rehecting the facts, signed it. Later l saw it published in one of the afternoon papers, when l read 1t carefully and discovered that the afi- davit was not correct.
 The facts are that neither Mfr. Jesse R. Core, W. B. AleXandre nor c. H. Triplett presented the scrip men, toned to me for payment. MT. Core never presented any scrip to me dur ing the years 1906 and 1907. On the contrary, the scrip mentioned in the above affidavit to the best of my knowledge, was turned In to me by Mir.
