HON ". j. THOMAS

Hon. w. R. Thomas of Las
Vegas, Clark county, is in the field
for judge of the district court of
this district. From what we have
been able to learn of Mr.. Thomas he
has practiced law for many years
and at present is district attorney
of his county. He stands high in
Clark county as an attorney and as
an upright, honorable man.
Those who know him say that he
is thoroughly competent to fill the
judgeship to the entire satisfaction
of the people. The only thing the
Independent has heard that milit-
ates against him in the least is that
he is a republican. But Mr..
Thomas is a candidate on the re-
publican ticket for judge and he
appeals to republicans alone for
their support at the primary cleo
ton.
The Independent commends Mr..
Thomas to the thoughtful consider
alton of the republican voters of
this judicial district.

EXPLANATION OF THE CREOLE

Facts Patent to His
Readers.

] have used the word creole" To
the average Englishman imagine II
conjurcs up visions of a dark and
beautiful woman gloriously appareJch
and with a large proportion of colored
blood In her veins. 1t Is necessary to
get that idea out of ones head at the
very beginning. as 1t is a wholly mis-
taken one The first and essentia,
claim to the title of creole is that on
should he OF the purest European
blood; the second, SO far as the West
Indies are concerned, is that ONT
should be a native of the islands
If Queen Victoria had happened to
be in Trinidad when her eldest SOL
was born. King Edward would be n
creole. The word simply applies to
two thiEgS-parcntage and birth. You
may be an English creole. a French
creole. a Spanish creole; but you can
rot be creole If you arc born In
England or France or Spain. even
though your ancestors had been born
and bred In the West Indies for gen
erations The one thing which Is i'm
possible In true creole Is exactly
what the ignorant think the word i'm
plies-that Is. the least suggestion OF
negro blood.
Please remember. then, that the
true crcOles are as white as you are.
and that those of the upper classes
have rcarly all been educated in
France or England: and that If you

people. He believes in good
roads. good schools, and clean,
economical government. Mr..

Shortly after 4 o'clock Mon day
afternoon Charles Calvin Petty,
the Sparks wife murderer, Killed
himself at the state prison by
juna from a high pole and
striking his head on the stone
pavement.
The prisoners were being given
the usual exercise in the yard
as is customary under the personal

and commenced climbing. His
guard followed closely behind him.
One of the guards on the wall
pointed his gun at Petty as if to
shoot and told him to halt. Petty
stopped for a moment and waited
for him to shoot, but seeing that
he did not intend to, he kept on
climbing until he had reached the
top of the pole, a distace of thirty
two feet from the ground. He then
turned with his back to the pole
and deliberately divcd to the solid
rock below with his hands out over
his head like he was diving in
water.
He struck the ground, breaking
his fingers and arms and crushing
his skull. Upon hitting the
ground he bounded into the air
about two feet and fell des d.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is by consti.
tutional remedies. Deafness is caused
by an inf1amed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is inflamed,
you have rumbling sound or i'm.
perfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an
inflamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dol
lars for any case of Deafness (caused
by catarrh) that cannot be cured

masked the Trojan horse and hurled their speers
against its brittle sides; the lions skin has been
holsted' revealing the NANCY wolf beneath"
My recollection of Homer is not as vivid as
1t was some thirty more years ago: but nv
recollection is that the Trojan horse won the
race. Ii my memory serves me right, the
Trojan horse was the ruin of the enemy.
Consequently, the classic allusion of the lion
hearted Meacham rather wealzens his case.
especially as he spells the word spear with
two es!
The excited Meacham excams:
Democrats and Georgians, the hour has struck
to rid the party of this incubus upon it's solidari-
W The accomplishment of this end is sim
pie and easy Let every newspaper in the State
ignore his very existence refuse to print his name
and close their columns to his utterances."
That's very good suggestion I wouldn't
mind it much if they all adopt it, Of course.
we must make an exception of Meacham.
Other people might forget me, but Meacham
never will. Upon his heart an indelible I'M
preston has been made. You may break, you
may shatter that heart if you will, but the
odor of Watson will cling to it still
Concluding, Meacham says:
ooh, yes the prodigal has returned, bring
ing with him his bludgeon, his butchers knife
his blood-pot and the stink of the swine herd
Bid him welcome and get thee to nunnery.'
What glorious thing to Georgia Democ-
racy it is to have in Meacham a man who is
ready to meet Attila and dare him to his
worst! In spite of bludgeon, butchers knife,
blood-pot and swine-herd stencil, Meacham is
on deck whence all but twenty-five per cent
have fed The ship is on fire; the enemies
have boarded her; death and destruction
spread ruin around about the troubled sea,
but Meacham amt scared! Think of that:
you can't terrify Meacham. By the time his
resounding yell travels from the wire grass
to the mountain pinnacles of North Georgia,
even the inundated editors and proprietors
of our big dailies will regain their courage
the fifty per cent of the newspapers that are
trembling in fear of losing subscribers and
advertisements will become ashamed of them
selves. They will just defy their subscribers
to quit. They will just dare the advertisers
to withhold the coin. AS to that dastardly
twenty-five per cent. who are afraid to 90
any further than to merely quote, without
comment, what few fearless ones have the
hardihood to say against Attila, they will
mend their ways: they will see the light: they
will comment: they won't be afraid to speak
out. One and all they will line up behind
the gallant Meacham; and the word will ring
from the mountains to the sea, LEAD on
Meacham, lead on! We follow thee to vic
tory or to death !"
