DIR. David Kinnaird, of Nell,
was in our midst last Thursday
and informed us that the farm
ers in his section were moving
right along with their work.
Corn planting and preparing
ground for setting tobacco was
the topic OF the day, also stated
that their wheat and grass were

Mr.. Dan Curd, the well-known

DR.. John Grady, of Columbia,
spent a day or so in our city last
week visiting his relatives. We
understand the DR.. is thinking
of locating at this place. We
would certainly be glad to have
him here for we are satisfied
that there's more practice here

he would only come here and
help him bear the burden of this
great practice.
Last Thursday while en- route
to his farm, Cow. R. Hindman,
of Columbia, called in to see us
and in a few minutes he had
quite a number around listening
to his very interesting converse
ton, in regard to his trip in
the west recently. That certainly
is wonderful country. Mr..

If the Music Hall Convention

If the Music Hall Convention
was such a terror as to drive
some professed Democrats from
the fold if those who left our
party on account of the methods
employed by Mr.. Goebel and his
supporters were in earnest in
seeking better political living,
then it is high time that they
should be returning. The meth
DDS employed in the convention
at London, the high handed
frauds in the Louisville primary
and the cut and dried methods in
the State convention are said to
far outclass the methods of Mus
lie Hall.

The Masonic Fraternity at this
place has been very prosperous
for the past year. Last Satur-
day at our regular communication
Bro. Joel O, Moore with several

WE'D, MAY 90, 1908.

1t is not our mission nor pur-
pose to indulge in criticism nor
to dispute with true and loyal
Democrats, but in defense of
The News we are compelled to
speak out in open court, after
reading The Glasgow Times of
last week, in which its able edi-
tor makes a short quotation from
The News, concerning Mr.. Wat
terson and The Courier-Journal,
in which we said: LET the
past be the past and make the
best possible Of the present. I"
With bitterness and eternal re-
sentiment, The Times holds Mr..
Watterson up before it's readers
in the worst light possible, re-
counting his bolts of 1895, $50,
'97 and 1908, and then states
that these are the differences
with popular demands in some
of the campaigns of the past
which The Adair County News
lightly passes over" In justice
to our position. in justice to the
common cause that all Democrats
are enlisted in, we can only say !:
The News does not endorse the
acts of the Courier-Journal when
it was boiling and fioundering in
the land Of doubt, and while it
did not meet with our approval,
yet we have never believed it in
sincere in its teachings, timid or
cowardly in its fights. No man
familiar with those campaigns
can doubt that the Courier-Jour-
nal was one of the most power
full factors in bringing us defeat /;
no Democrat should underesti-
mate its worth for or againts us.
The truth, the whole truth is
The News is not asking Demo-
Gratis to idolize Mr.. Watterson
nor accept the Courier-J Journal as
an infallible guide, but to use a
little common sense only, and to
accept the service it is now CIV
ing in that manner BETTING in
telligent political warfare. It's
power to hurt is freely admitted,
and, therefore, its power to aid
ought to be the more appreciated
when it is voluntarily given, as
it is at present. Rank partisan
prejudice has never resulted in
good to the cause it represents ;
never wins our battles nor adds
to our strength. The Times
doubtless could better serve it's
party in county, district and
State if it could only forgive and
forget. Let the past be the past.
Instead of hitting the man who
is now pulling in Democratic har-
ness give him encouragement to
pull harder. We should be fight
ing those who are fighting us,
and not be continually holding up
the missteps of the past as we
we saw them at that time. The
News sees in the support of the

The song has changed. The full
dinner pail, advancing prices,
expanding industries set to the
music of Republican prosperity
has been the chief stock-in-t trade
of the Republican press and ora
tors for the last twelve years.
These agents of the G. 0. P.
pressed the claim that prosperity
was the stalwart child of Repub-
lican policies and that no panic or
hard times could come while the
country was under its control
and the Dingley tariff law opera
tive. Gee Slush! What has hap
pened? What false prophets!
How can the people be longer
fooled? The party had made pros
perity by the high tax system,
the party that blessed the civil
lied world with money so good
and so plentiful that panic could
not come, the party that claimed
the credit for good crops and
every blessing that the good
Lord gave the people at last is up
against it's own sin and folly,
robbed of it's glory and disarmed
of its most fearful campaign
weapon, prosperity. If it is not
responsible for the tremendous
panic that has prevailed since
last October, who in the world
is? The effort to make the peo-
pie believe it all over, that it
was only a little financial furry
Of short duration can not be sub
stantiated. 1t is not over. It
still exists and more than a mil
lion idle people and many more
with reduced wages are up
against it's fearful effects. Mr..
Towney, that able Republican
leader in the lower house of Con-
gress, does not attempt to con-
ceal the true situation and points
to tremendous deficits. He is
chairman of the House Appropri-
alton Committee and states that
at the close of April the Treasu-
ry showed a deficit of over $780,
900, 900 as compared with sur
plus of $55, 100000 a year before,
making a difference of $105, 000,-
900. He also stated that it is al
most certain that the deficit at
the end of this fiscal year will be
S150,OO0, 900. These are starting
figures but came from an emf
nent Republican. They show an
alarming condition and clearly
indicate that the panic is not
