knows he is 4 delightful speaker,
has Z splendid command OF words
and is an artist at criticism Is are
al lawyers who have court house
training. II such 4 thing as being
able to make white appear black
can be done by oratory, Capt.

hearers that he was no stranger

member Of the legislature sixteen
years ago and how nicely the peo-
pie of that section treated him,
later he went into the Spanish
American war, and when that
was owed he came home and went
to work to make q living. Then
he went into 4 detailed account
Of what was being accomplished
by the Manning board Of trade
for the farming interests, that he
and Mr.. DuRant went to Wash

government the attention Of the
agricultural department with the
result that he secured the tobac-

Of Mr.. DuRant secure for the
farming interests and now he
hopes sometime in the near future
to have a tile factory. After Civ

the public one set Of views on
lawyers and in private be had a
different vicw, and, said he, i
will prove it. and you will agree
with me. whenever any Of Mr..
.Appelt'S friends get into trouble
and in need OF lawyer Applet
sends them to Davis, so you see
he has a different view OF lawyers
in private But said he. | would
dismiss this subject with but a
few words. "Appelt has been
having ha!lucinations ever since

has been trying to get me to write
for his newspaper but / would not
do it as | knew ! would have my

On the subject of good roads,
