were in verbal form. A number of prom
inent democratic speakers were on the
oratorical firing line. Other jolts were in
the shape Of active plans to give financial
and pictorial support to democracy's
standard bearers.
Steps were taken to raise funds to aid
the campaign in Maryland and other
nearby states and the association decided
to erect a large Bryan and Kern banner

DIR. Tebbs Wants Vindication.

DIR. Tebbs' told Star reporter that he

alone the night he came to his house and
fired the five shots at him. Two young
men in the county. he says. were with
him. 1t is his intention to make an effort
to connect them with the shooting and
cause their arrest.

no signs of laboring under excitement,
Haskell entered the store and inquired
if the sheriff was in that vicinity. Told
he was not. he asked:

his family. Later he repeated hts story
to Magistrate Follin.
The grand jury will sift the whole trOu-
BILE at the September session of the court.
Should any indictments be returned a long
and hard fought legal battle will follow.
The statements made by Haskell, it Is
believed, will make the case come under
the provisions of the sO-called unwritten
law.

One can see from the city papers
that with every storm or cold per-
iod comes the necessity for organ-
lied and systematic charity, and
the fact makes a striking contrast
between city and country life. In
spite of the fact that the present
cold snap has been one OF unusual
severity, extending over a period OF
six weeks, not a "squeal" has been
heard from any quarter. This
speaks we'll for the county and the
countv's poor, but, in view OF the
unusual conditions with which al
are familiar, those who are blessed
with an abundance and are forti'
fled against discomforts shoule
look around them and see that &C
tual Suffering and pinching doe
come to the homes Of thu
worthy poor. The fact that sue
cases are rare only adds to th
probability Of their being over
looked, hence this reminder.
