PUSSY-FOOT BILL GOT COLD
SHOULDER AT HARTWELL-
BEFORE LONG, HE MAY GET
ROTTEN EGGS.

Dear Mr. Watson:-Well, I went
over last Monday to hear PUSSY
FOOT Bill make his defensive speech.
"Pussy-foot" Bill!
Mr.. Watson, you started that; it
beats the D; and the claws of that
'Pussyfoot'' are sufficient to hang
it to Bill to his grave, and he will be
laid to rest known as "Pussy-foot'
Bill.
The courthouse was full to hear
Billy but when he stepped forth to
make his speech he received about
enough applause to embarrass him;
and they didn't embarrass him any
more, except one time towards the
close of his speech, and that was
when he plead guilty to the charge
of giving his friends appointments,
etc., those in the audience who had
been struck with his generosity
along this line put their hands to-
gether few times right fast, and put
on pleasing look and smile.
And Bill went on to say. in con-
nection with what he said about Civ
ing his friends jobs, that he had 100
of them going over the county taking
the census and that they were at
liberty to vote for who they pleased,
and also use their influence the same
way; that he never had said or ask
ed any one else to say a word to them
about who they would vote for, for
Congress or anything else. Well,
some thought that was very nice in
"Pussy-foot" Bill. I called some of
Bills friends attention to the fact
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1910-05-12

that when a physician gives a patient
a dose of salts that he, too, doesn't
make any request of the patient as
to what he must do, or will do; he
relies on the dose to bring results.
I said, just so with Billy, he has
given the boys the salts; now he ex-
poets them to-not changing the
subject, but Billy looked to me just
like he felt that he is up against it
good and strong. "Pussy-foot" has
been having an easy time for the
last twelve or thirteen years; he has
just laughed and made fun of what
little opposition he has had up to the
present campaign.

him my Magazine, and he has read

not fairly met the Socialist argu-
ments on their basic contention, so
he made the request of me to send
the questions. I send them just as
he formulated them. I am not

AS TO THE GUILT OF COL.
COOPER.

Dear Sir:-There being a diversi-
ty of opinions as to the guilt or in
nocence of Col. D. B. Cooper, charg-
ed with the murder of E. w. Car
mack. You have perhaps studied
the case as closely as any one and
know the evidence. So | just ask
you if you believe in the eyes of the
law, Colonel Cooper is a murderer?
Or, what is your opinion? What
verdict would you have rendered &C
cording to law and evidence?
I enclose stamp for reply. You
may answer this privately or through
the Jeffs, as you see proper. Also
rs cents, stamps, for The jefferson
ian on trial.
Yours truly, J. T. WALKER.
Adamsville, Tenn.
Answer.
I have followed the evidence in
the Cooper-Carmack case closely
There is no doubt whatever on my
mind that the murder was deliber-
ately planned and carried out.
Lying in the gutter, with bullet
hole in the back of his head, as Car
mack was, the plea of self-defense
put up by Col. Cooper and Governor
Patterson is an insult to common in
telligence. He had a fair trial be-
fore an impartial jury, who we're al
together too merciful to him in
recommending him for a lower SEN
tence than the extreme penalty of
the law. If any man deserves to be
hanged for wilfully and maliciously
forming the determination to kill an
other, and then going in search of
him and walking up behind him and
shooting him in the back of the head,
without warning, Col. Duncan 3.
Cooper deserves that fate.
He is no coward, and I have never
called him one, but the assassination
was as cowardly a piece of business
as ever disgraced a Southern State.
The act of Governor Patterson in
granting full pardon to this de-
liberate assassin ought to cause his
compulsory exit from public life.
When those who are sworn to ad-
minister the law, trample it under
their feet, as Patterson has done, we
cannot wonder that poor men, often
driven to desperate acts by desperate
necessities take the law into their
own hands and commit all kinds of
crime IT r w

OLD TIMER
PASSES ON

Thomas IL. McCarty. pioneer
Grand Junction railroad man
and widely known in this city
and over this division of the Dem
yer & Rio Grande, and who re-
moved from this city to his old
home in Illinois about three
years ago, is dead.
A brother, George McCarty,
lives in this valley at this time.
Tom McCarty was exceedingly
popular here especially among
the railroad men and the news
of his death brings much sorrow
to the many warm friends.
The following is taken from a late
issue of a Carthage, Ills, paper:
Thos. H. McCarty died at his home
in this city, Monday morning, April
IA, 1910, at seven O'Clock, aged AS
years, months and 3 days.
He was born in Hamilton, Ohio,
Nov. s, 1864 and was the son of
James and Mary McCarty He came
to Carthage with his parents in 1869.
In 1883 he went to Colorado where
he was in the railroad and train
service. In April 1897 he was mar
ried to Miss Polly Markle. to which
union were born five children, Mary,
Dora, Sarah, Russell and Arthur, all
of whom with the wife survive.
1t was due to the exposure and
hard work while in the railroad SER
vice that he was stricken with loco
motor ataxia. He gave up the train
service and conducted a restaurant
at Grand Junction, Colo, until in
1906. his health failing so, he retired
and moved back to Carthage where
his health steadily declined until his
release from suffering came Monday.
He is survived by three brothers,
James of this city, George of Grand
Junction, Colo. and Charles, of Salt
Lake City, Utah.
Mr.. McCarty has always been a
hard working man and a quiet worthy
citizen. The greatest sympathy is
felt for the bereaved widow and little
children and the surviving brothers
who made this afflicted family their
loving charge.
Funeral services were held from
the Church of the Immaculate Con-
ception at 10 o'clock a. M, Wednes-
day morning, April 13. Burial in

BOY IS CARRIED
A BLOCK UNDER ICE
FARM LAD HAS REMARKABLE
ESCAPE FROM DEATH AT
VALLEY CITY. -

Valley City N. D.. Nov. 10 Fight
ing every inch OF the way to save
himself from drowning in the icy
waters of the Sheyenne river, George
Preston, a. farmer boy living north OF
here, cheated death by grasping the
edge Of an air hole and hanging on
until his companions could get an ak
and chop away enough ice for him to
be taken out.
The boy was skating when he broke
through and was whirled beneath the
water. His companions could see him
through the Ice and followed his flight,
but were unable to assist him.
For fully block the boy drifted
under the ice, while the boys above
watched him with horror. Some of
them ran for help, but before any men
could arrive young Preston, in thrash
ing about with his hands, put his fin
gers through an airhole not more than
six inches across. He had presence of
mind to keep his hold and draw his
face to the opening, where he could
breathe. One of the boys secured
small hand AK with which the hole was
made large enough for the boy to be
taken out.
