WHEN the noise arising from
the Tucker camp over the discov-
cry of a supposed boomerang in
the shape of the Mann-Mahone
letters has subsidized in a measure
perhaps the people will have an
opportunity of calmly considering
the real value of these epistles.
When this opportunity is given
theu2 they can scarcely fail to
discern that the paramount i'm
portaDce credited to the letters
by the Tucker men is but another
myth magneied into Importance
by them in their intense desire
to fi.d some means of bringing
discredit upon the gentleman from
NOttoway. Union with the liquor
mer. the vote on the tultz amend
ment etc, each had its day, but
they have died,a this charge will,
before the clear cut explanation
OF Judge Mann.
A few sentences extracted from
the letters themselves are suffi-
cient te contradict all of the Ella b.
crate argument which the Tucker
men have built up with so much
labor. Says Judge Mann in adj
dressing himself to General Ma
hone in one Of the letters referring
to his election to the Judgeshlp,
With no political claims to the
position | could only rely on your
personal friendship and on that
account l more highly appreciate
and value my success" If he
had no political claims to the po-
SltiOn, then it is a self evident fact
that he had voted against the
readjusters as he has asserted time
and again. 1t was surely no
crime to be a personal friend OF
Malone, who had been a gallant
Confederate General and was
then readjuster Democrat, nor
was it strange for the latter to
gladly give Judge Mann his per-
Scndl support.
Again he says in the letter Of
July 18TH, $780, shall not soon
forget tine consideration with
which have been treated and
shall particularly and gratefully
remember that no pledge of any
kind was asked of me. These
extracts prove conclusively that
Judge Mann had not knuck-
led to The Readjusters to Sc
cure office, nor had he pledged to
them his support III the future.
Every voter should consider thu
matter we'll before they cast a bal
lot tor a man who is striving to
strengthen his slim chances of
election by crying down his oppo-
nent and who tries to take atten-
ton from his own record by criti-
clslng the other mans as Mr.. Tuck-
eli is doing.

BIRTHDAY PARTY

Last Friday evening, after
Mr., Clarence Banks had agree
ably calculated the good net
profits of the day, and was bus
lily indicting a friendly letter
to his former associates,
Carnegie and Morgan, there
came q knock at the door, Be-
ing deeply absorbed MIR. Banks
absently observed "come i'm.
And in they came one, two,
three, four. fve,-nor did they
cease to come until some twenty
five neighbors and friends had
crowded in upon him.
Though considerably sur
prised and my stited MIR. Banks
mustered sufficient voice to de-
mand what he had done that 1t
should be- as it was. Then 1t
was most kindly explained to
him that in each and every year
there We're certain days that
should be remembered and duly
observed, and that this day was
a most important one to him.
That this day and oil other ann
ular reoccurrences thereof might
never again be forgotten or
slighted, the friends presented
a iine reed rocker.
Mr.. E. E. newton in his usual
brilliant style made the presen-
taLion speech, saying, among
other good things, he hoped this
slight token would daily remind
their host of the affection and
appreciation of his associates
and friends. BY this time Clar-
ence had SO rallied his forces as
to make a most appropriate re-
Isponse. Then followed q most
enjoyable social which was CON-
pleted by an elegant banquet.
1t was 1l:30 before the last
gucst had departed.
