The Remains Of Levi JeffreyS
Found.

On last Friday morning while
hun ing for bee trees, two Bell
boys found pile Of sun bleached
bones upon hill about a mile
back of Robert Ferrell's at
Purdy, which turned out to be
the remains of poor unfortunate
Levi Jeffreys, whose mysterious
disappearance caused a sensation
little over a year ago. A rope
was dangling above the bones,
which told its own tale.
In the search for the body last
year several searching parties
passed close to the spot where
the body was at that time dang.

Sunday at three O. clock at the

Love for our heroic, warlike,
peace-making President is so great
in Russia, that one writer predicts
that the name OF that country will
change "from plain Belle Russo to
La Plus Belle Russevelt". The

certainly be "A greater belle than the
Teddy bear.

William J. Bryan has made
public his apinion of What is a
Democrat" in reply to an invita-
ton from the New York World,
in which he gives as the basic
principle, Zone who believes in
the rule of the people," deals
deals with the direct elections of
senators and initiative and re-
ferendum" but makes no men,
ton of government ownership of
railroads. In part he says:
IF by your question you mean
to ask for a de6nition considered
from a party standpoint, would
say that a Democrat is one who
considers himself a member of
the Democratic organization;who
works for the Democratic organ
ization and who expects to vote
the Democratic ticket.
IF the meaning of the name
is considered a Democrat must be
one who bellows in the rule of
the people. Those who trust the
people are everywhere endeavor-
ing to bring the government
nearer to the people and make it
more responsive to the will of the
the people. Those who dis
tribute the people are everywhere
endeavoring to obstruct each
new step toward popular gov
eminent.
The popular idea has contin-
ued to grow and doctrines of
Jefferson were never stronger
than they are today. The con
slant growth of sentiment in IA
vor of the popular election of
United States senators is evident
that the Democratic idea is
larger than the membership of
any party. Today a man can
hardly claim to be Democratic in
his ideas and yet to oppose the
popular election Of United States
| senators.
There is question. however,
upon which there is q complete
division Of opinion among the
Democrats namely the initiative
and referendum or as the system
! lis sometimes called. direct legis-
lation.
"A majority Of the Republi-
cans are really Democratic In
their fundamental ideas and t.
these we can appeal if the Demo
cratic party convinces them tina
it can be truste1 to carry on
Democratic principles"

Attorney ]. D. Cntlip Severely
Stabbed.

Viciously attacked by Neal
Beckwith, who welded a knife
with dangerous results, Attorney
j. d. Cutlip was badly slashed at
about 5 o'clock last evening in
Court Square. Beckwith was ar
rested short time later and is
now in custody.
The trouble was witnessed by
a large number of people, all of
whom were taken by great sur
prise. 1t is said that Beckwith
was standing in front of the
court house when he saw Cutlip
approaching, and without utter
ing word Beckwith hurried over
to the attorney and commenced
cutting. Whether it was knife
or razor is not known, but it sup
posed that the weapon was an or
binary jack knife.
Cutlip was unprepared for the
assault and in his endeavors to
keep from being stabbed he kept
throwing his right arm up in
front of him and that member
received the most of the gashes,
it being cut in four places. One
severe wound was made in the
side of Cutlip and then Beckwith
stopped.
Beckwith was arrested BY Lieu
tenant Smith and taken before
Squire Shumway, who had
charge of Squire Ruttencutter's
office. He was charged with cut
ting with intent to kill and bond
was fixed at 81, 900. The bond
would have been furnished, but
for the fact that it is thought he
is suffering from sort of demen-
tia and it would be unsafe for him
to be at large
While no one knew the real
cause Of the trouble, tits thought
that Bcckwith is still smarting
uner the assault made upon him
in the Office of Squire Thomas a
couple Of months ago. 1t will be
recalled that Cutlip and some 9TH
er man started a rough house and
Squire Thomas commanded
Beckwith to part them.
In attempting to do so Beck
with got decidedly the worst of
t. Cutlip is alleged to have struck
him a powerful blow in the face
discoloring the flesh for several
days Beckwith rather broodec
over the treatment he had re-
ceived at the hands of Cutlir
and after consuming seyera
drinks of liquor yesterday after
noon, lost his reason and th,
sight of Cutlip approaching hin
/ completely unbalanced him an,
! he started to get revenge.
1t was stated last night tina
Beckwith would be tried thi

For two decades the southern
newspapers and southern orators
have pictured the untold horrors
experienced by the South and it's
helpless people during the dark
days of carpet bag rule, following
the war, but even Thoas Dsxen's
thrilling novel, the Leopard
Spots" did not drive home to the
present generation a full and
complete realization of the tor
ture, the unreasonable crimes
and the suffering born during
the years that Federal bayonets
were hold at the breast of the
South, while Northern thieves
and black brutes robbed her of
the little property spard from the
flames of war, and assailed her
virtue, dearer than life itself, but
when the "Clansman" was
staged and played throughout
the North it quickly produced a
sentiment that has silenccd the
vituperativc press of that section.

With the last issue of the News
Miss Maude Barr retires from
the journalistic field, and will
choose some other occupation.
Boyd Stutler has purchased
Miss Barr's interest in the News
and that of her late fathers,
and will continue the publica-
ton of the same. Boyd is a
splendid young man, and we
predict a bright futute for him
i'm his chosen field of labor, but
we will give him a pointer:
publishing a newspaper in
Grantsvillc, and making it go
is no child's play, and the downs
are abont as numerous as the
ups, but the people of Boyd
persuasion of politics Republi-
can can, and I'VE believe will,
support a newspaper i'm this
county. Miss Maude retires
with the higest esteem and very
best wishes of all who know her.
She has labored long and dill
gently to make the News 90,
and to her efforts, more than
any others, is due the success
with which that paper has met.
Throughout a long and close
association with her in the
newspaper field we have found
her to be a pure, true and
courageous lady, and our very
best wishes will follow her into
whatever avocation she may
choose.
