gers on SedbOdFd

Richmond, Va, Jan. 2.-J. c. An

AN OLD TINE TOURNAMENT.
The Good People OF CaSKelI County
Stick TO the Ancient
Landmarks.

1t Is with pleasure that space is given
to the following account of tourna-
ment of the old-f fashioned kind, re-
printed from the Reidsville Review:
''An interesting and exciting tourna-
ment was held at Yanceyville, and was

new YORK POLITICS.
Leader Murphy Shows He
Can Talk Back.
Not so Much Virtue in MCClelIdn'S
Defiance of the Tdmmany Or
ganizdtiOn, According to
the Statement OF
the Boss.

New York, Jan. 6.-Leader Charles
f. Murphy, of Tammany Hall, to-day
gave out statement in regard to Mayor
McCle1lan's action in refusing yester-
day to reappoint Election Commissioner
Voorhis as president of the board, the
choice of the regular Democratic Or
ganization in New York. In appoint
ing John C. Dooling to succeed Voor-
his, the mayor took occasion to state
that he would no longer recognize the
existing control of Tammany Hall, -
and that he could not tolerate any re-
.lations with its present leader"
Replying to the mayors criticism,
Mr.. Murphy said:
Although named in strict conform
ity with the provisions of law, by the
Democratic organization of the county
of New York for the place, and that,
TOO, without a single dissenting vote,
Commissioner Voorhis was rejected by
the mayor, not for any of the shuffiing
reasons assigned, but simply and solely
because last fall, in the designation OF
1he Democratic newspapers to publish
the election notices, commissioner
Eoorhis refused to violate his oath OF
office and be a party to the satisfaction
~of the mayors petty revenges upon the
newspapers which had harshly criti-
cised him.
''As to the present leader of Tam
many Hall, let me observe that no
+J,o ooY,,,,1,nitxv hold closer
relations with him nor does any one
know him more thoroughly than this
: anne mayor. 1t any reason exists
which justifies the breaking of the
elations which have existed between
te two men, do not know just what
he knows, to make such reason pub
lie. 7 parted with the mayor after oul
last interview OH friendly terms, as j
was led to believe, and if at that time
was UNIV orthy of association with any
one who knew me, the mayor careful
Iy concealed any knowledge he might
have had in that regard. I now ear
nestly invite him to take the public in
to his confidence as to any unworthy
act of which I have ever been guilty
and OF which he has knowledge.
II defy him to name a single in
stance in which / have suggested or
urged on behalf of the Democratic
organization the appointment to pub
lie office of a man whose record and
character would not compare favor
ably with his present appointees and
Nintimates.'' -

MATTER NOT ENDED YET
Will Investigate the Statement OF
Congressman Blackburn and
Then Act.
Greensboro News.

Greensboro News.
Congressman E. Spencer Blackburn
returned to Washington yesterday on
northbound train No. 40, which passed
here several hours late yesterday morn
ing. Although there has been great
deal of talking, nothing has been done
in the alleged libel proceedings, and no
warrant was served on the congress
man while he was here.
His denial of having authorized the
statement stayed the proceedings tenn
porarily, and now that Congress is in
session, it is probable that nothing
will be done until after Congress ad-
journs.
1t is understood, however, that Gov.
Glenn has instructed his attorneys not
to let up in the investigation. Just what
course in the matter will be taken is
not known, or the attorneys are not
talking, at least.

He put me to bed, not to move for two
weeks.

and prostrated that could walk but a
short distance. In fact had to keep
quiet.
took several remedies, but obtained
no relief. also had catarrk in some
form.
MY wife advised me to take Peruna,
and it Is with pleasure that I can say
that by taking one and one-ha1f bottle
of your Peruna, it cured me and feel
all right. I send this with many thanks
to you, as enjoy life again.
My wife has also been taking your
Peruna for asthma and it helps to re-
Heve her. We keep your Peruna in

tion with Live Life Insurance Company did awfuy
poor stroke of finance when he died. The live and
the live company must get together else the surviving
live company can't do anything towards making things
easy for the dead mans family Some has said that
dead tell tales and may be they DON'T but they
could reace their steps and the sort of tales that the
widows and orphans left to te they would be filled
with regret at their failure to prevent such tale
They would tell you to seek out that live companythe
State Life for instanceand form partnership with it,
whereby it look after your family when you
and determine.
They would point out to you the great security which
the State of Indiana throws around you when requires
all Indiana companies to keep enough securities deposited
with the State Department to every dollar that the
Company to it's policy holders. These dead
would tell you lot Of things that would make you
of a live man if only they could come back.
Now Listen: Your widow and children will have hard
enough time to get along after you leave them all the in
money that you possibly and their lives won't
be very cheerful if you don't leave them anything Think
over with your self the actor the picture
and then write for rates and further particulars
