be ruined for another long period OF
time. Boys, what can we as republl
cans expect from bolting democrats in
Marion Countyf They have out su-
preme court ticket and also full
county ticket and therefore they will
vote for them on any grounds, and
they will fight the straight republican
county ticket to finish. l only do
this to warn ye republicans of the
great danger that awaits you ON the
4th of August. Be ye aware of the
boilers that are in league with this
man. They have called the grand old
party bad names and, boys, are asking
and begging for your votes and infiu-
enc. The enemy is on the right and
on the left. In fact, he is on all sides.
l understand that We writer and Nor
rison, of Whitwell, are appointed as
receivers of the two wings of the re-
publican party of East Tennessee.
Bows, let's stick to the straight repub-
lican county ticket. We do know this
much will do. / advise against vot-
ing for any bolter or any independent
candidate t,at is placed on the judici-
airy ticket that has rendered divers de-
cisions against the labcring class of
our country heretofore. for, boys, they
are enemies to labor of the deepest
dye, which You know has been indi-
Gated by their decisions just short
while ago. And yet they want you,
poor laboring class, to forgive and for
get, and vote for them again, so they
can wind up your little ball of yarn.
Now is the time to protect your
selves right at the ballot box, aid
when it is everlastingly too late. don t
curse me for not giving..you fair warn
ing, one and all. There are now two
democratic parties, one is said to be
the old reliable and original democrat
ic party. The other is a substitute,
composed of boilers from the original,
and now here are two great republican
parties in Tennessee. One is called
the grand, old original republican par
ty. The other is said to be composed
of boilers, and substitutes, of course.
of the original. Now, it is mp to you
to choose from what wing to get your
ticket. / am at loss as republican
just now to know just when to leap.
| would like very much for some wri-
ter to tell me what to do. If / am
wrong want to confess and get right
[ saw list of speakers billed out for
Tennessee in the Chattanooga Times as
long as my arm, and the best could
figure it out they were some republic
cans billed to speak for one wing of
the democratic party. Pray tell me
what does this spell. | have been in
politics but little while, and this
move is something new and all this
public speaking by both wings won't
change the laboring element of the
country in the least. Don't you see
how things are running and organic
ing and lining up, getting ready for
line battle. Capt. Robt. Taylor, our
noted Bob, steps right up and takes
seat in the front ranks as speaker,
leader, wheel horse, and winner,
and pulls the throttle wide open as a
boot jack, and says, here we are, men
among men, and says by my mighty
power as democratic leader we will
win this battle.
Not to go any further, Patterson,
without shadow of doubt, will be
governor of Tennessee again. If he is
don't blame me, for am fighting him
to finish.
For fear this gets into the wastebas-
ket and ruins me for ever as a politi
cal writer guess had better cut this
off right here and feel Of the good
EDITORS pulse first and see if he would
give us boys little chance to cut a
little slice of the political hash. We
know the News is not political pa
per, but as it is the only paper we take
and the only paper we care for, that
is why we appear in its columns in
politics to ask and answer few ques
tions. Please pardon me and l pass
on to something else
The weather prophet said to plant
all the low land this year. He is like
all other men born of woman, subject
to error. 1t has rained 40 days and
may rain 40 more. People up here are
being damaged badly on account of SO
much rain. The hay crops has been
ready to cut for the last ten days, but
they can't get the sunshine to save it,
and if there isn't change in the
weather thousands of dollars worth of
damage has been done. Some late
corn crops in the low lands are now
gone past redemption. Wheat is dam
aged badly in the shock and water is
in corn fields in low places.
1t looks very tough on new beginners
in the agricultural and farming bust
ness. 1t is with them, guess, like an
old farmer friend of mine who made
bad horse swap last year. He swore
he never would while time lasted
make another horse swop, and he has
kept his word so far, and that's the
way with those boys that never had
farmed any heretofore. / doubt very
much whether they ever stick another
pillow in the ground again. They say
they wont, and if all the farmers
