SUCCESSFUL EVANGELIST.

Rev. George r. Stair, the Middlebury
evangelist, is holding a series of meet
ings at Machias, Maine, and the Republic
can of that city speaks very highly of
his work and its results. 1t says: The
evangelistic services conducted by Rev.
George R. Stair and Mr.. John W Rey-
nolds, gospel soloist, are proving an
agreeable surprise to those who have not
been in sympathy with the kind of revi-
walls that used to be. Mr.. STAIR IL singu-
larly free from the faults 81 The old
school revivalist. His appeal 10 the soul
is by way of the reason. His address 30
far has been filled with arguments for
living the Christian life. No reasonable
person could take exceptions 20 what he
says and how he says it. He has shown
his wisdom and tact 10y announcing early
in the meetings that he would not dis
cuss such questions az popular amuse-
ments for the reason that it is uDprofita-
bic. Mr.. Stairs manner and method are
not marked by anything which savors of
the sensational or the trivial. There is
no doubt but Mr.. Stair is of broad cul-
ture and wide experience. His magnetic
personality attracts his hearers and dis
arms criticism. He impresses one with
whole souled sincerity and passion for
souls. To hear him once is 10 want to

on to say that he told DR. Lynch that
said that the line begins at the same
point and went to some bridges on the
lake but he did not know what bridges.
If the paper published as Shaffer's affi-
davit is in reality actually what he says,

front rank. As to his charge that DR.
Lynch changed his statement, he and
DR. Lynch for that.

terday that he did not tell DR. Lynch
that | said that "the towns Of Lake
and Scranton had agreed on the matter
and wished to come under one petition,
and that every voter was signing the
petition in the entire territory" On
other hand, he says that he told DR. Lynch
that he understood that the two towns
had agreed, but did not tell him that l
said so, and that he further told DR.
Lynch that said that everybody / had
seen signed the petition except George
James. Mr. Casselman further says
that he did not give DR. Lynch any affi.
davit at all, that he made no oath, signed
no paper, did not authorize DR. Lynch to
sign his name to any paper, cannot sign
his name and did not touch pen or a
pencil to paper. If this be true, DR.
Lynch should at once be removed from
from office as notary public. l call
attention to the subjoined affidavit of j

SIGNED SCRANTON" AND DE-,

Editor County Record
To SO much of DR. w S Lynch's letter
to Governor Ansel, published in the
News and Courier of the 10th inst, and
of the article which appeared in The
County Record of last week over the
signature, "Scranton"-to so much OF
this letter and article as attacks me,
ei.ner directly or indirectly, l wish to
have a word of reply.
was one of those who canvassed,
with the Lake City petition, the terri
tory east of the Coast Line and north
of the lake, this being the eastern part
of the territory covered by the Scran-
ton petition. Messrs Henry Collins and
Nv McCutchen and l canvassed the
entire area included in the first petition,
Mr. Collins covering the territory west
of the railroad, while Mr. McCutchen
and in company covered that part east
, of the railroad. Therefore any charge
made against the canvassers OF this
territory necessarily refers to one or
more of us three, and besides,in the ar
ticle above mentioned, / am attacked by
name. So far as Messrs Collins and
McCutchen are concerned, they can
speak for themselves.
In his letter to Governor Ansel DIR
Lynch uses this language: "They,
Knowing that they could not be annexed
by the votes of the Lake City territory
alone, Immediately canvassed.our terri
tory and included the Lake City terri
tory and said to the people that the two
towns, Lake City and Scranton, wished
to come under one petition and be an
nexed to Florence county =.
If he means to charge me with this
statement, l pronounce his charge ab-
solutely false. He uses the word can
yassers, and therefore, perforce intends
the charge for one or more Of the
three.
In the article appearing in The Rec
ord the charge is made and in similar
language. Here it is: Several have
said that the canvassers stated to them
as an inducement to get them to sign
the second petition that Scranton and
Lake City had come to some under
standing and wished to be annexed to
Florence county under one petition and
that every voter in the entire territory
had signed the petition without heslta'
tion." Anyone who makes this charge
of me, if any such there be, tells an un-
evarnished lie, whether he be the writer
Of that article or one or more OF the
s-'several.

BENSON BREEZES,
Crop Conditions Improving--Per-
soaal and Social Items.


Benson, June 21:-The weather at
this writing IS making up for the
recent low temperature and unfa-
vorahe condition towards crops. 1t
requires clear, hot and dry weather
and other conditions, such as cult
vation, removing of grass and in
some cases a second application of
fertilizers, or top dressing with nj
trate of soda, to make the weed grow
enough to give an average cotton
crop. The corn crop in this section
is very good. This speaks well for the
future prosperity of our planters,
and is conclusive evidence of the
great awakening from past indiffer-
ence to grain culture, which has
been brought about to large ex-
tent through the columns of our pa
pers; and this is medium of edu-
eating that is, becoming more and
more appreciated.

| q number that absolutely refused to
sign, regardless of all the inducements
and misleading arguments"
No misleading arguments were made
by me nor in my presence, nor have
heard it even rumored that any Of the
canvassers made misleading arguments.
If the author means to lay the charge
at my door that l attempted to mislead
anyone, l tell him he is telling what ne
knows is not true. So far as the declar-
alton that "quite number that abso-
lutely refused to sign" is concerned. l
have this to say, that, out of the whole
number, 122, which l Saw, only five de-
clined to sign.
With regard to the "affidavits' sub
mitted along with the said article l
have a few remarks to make. Some OF
the allegations made with reference to
me contained just enough truth to
make the worst kind of lies. AS these
allegations stand in the affidavits, they
are absolutely false, and if these men
severally swore to just what appears
over their signatures, they are perJured
liars and wholly unworthy the name OF
men. have seen these men and asked
them about these affidavits, and in each
case they make grave charges against DR.
Lynch. With these charges, whether
true or untrue, have nothing to do;
that is matter to be settled by them
and the man who they say wrote the
affidavit and whose name appears SUBJ
scribed thereto as notary public.
CIR Benton tells me that the state
ments made by him to DR. Lynch are
not correctly given in the paper pur-
porting to be his affidavit. He says
further that he did not read the paper
which he signed and that the writer OF
that paper changed his statements. He
saws that he told DR. Lynch that said
that every voter / had seen signed the
petition except George James, and
Everybody knows what kind of fellow
he is" This is just what did say to
Benton, but see how different this ap-
pears when printed. Either DR. Lynch
has basely twisted Benton's language
or Benton lied when he made the state
ment to DR. Lynch. Whichever one is
guilty, he is the man whom Idenounce.
| With regard to the school district mat
ter, the affidavit is correct as to the
fact that the Scranton petition divides
a school district and that statement is
/ in no wise misleading. The fact is that
that petition actually divides two school
districts, while the Lake City petition
takes in both in their entirety.
&C Shaffer says to me that ne did
not tell DR. Lynch that "P D Cockfeld
stated to me as an inducement to get
my signature that if the first petition
ers had known that Lake City wished
to be annexed they would have included
them in said petition, and Furthermore
stated that the line would be exactly
the same as first with the addition OF
Lake City township" He says that
he did not know that such statemen,
