W|THDRAWS
FROM RACE
Republican Party OF Marion
Lack a Nominee for Sheriff
Only Month Previous
to Election.

On account of continued i'll health
Jas. Doss, republican candidate for
Sheriff, withdraws from the race, as
the appended letter to M. Fl. Merritt,
chairman of the Republican Executive
Committee, testifies. Mr.. W. A. Can
trell, of Whitwell, who received 1854
votes and was second in the primary
against Mr.. Doss' vote of 593, other
candidates being very scattering, is
being actively pushed for the nomina-
tion. A mass meeting will be held at
Jasper, Saturday and his party should
give Mr. Cantrell the nomination, as
he is worthy young man, and would
fill the duties, if elected, with credit
and soberness.
M. H. Merritt,
Chairman Marion Co. Rep. Ex. Com.
Victoria, Tenn.
Dear Sir:
Owing to continued bad health, I
have decided to withdraw from the
race for sheriff.
/ have stayed in the race longer
than / should, thinking that would
soon be able to begin and make thor
ough canvass of the county, but in
this was mistaken. now have very
little hope that / will be able to make
even few days scattered canvass of
the county, so feeling that it would be
doing the party an injustice for me to
stay in the race longer, l have, as
before stated, decided to withdraw.
No one can regret the necessity of
this action more than myself and those
closely related and bound to me by
family and friendship ties, and | hope
that no one will censure me for the
course that we, in justice to my self
and the party, think best and necessa-
ry for me to take.
1t has been reported, so have been
told, that l have said that should
have to withdraw from the race that
l would favor the nomination of GER
tain party. This is not true. | do
not withdraw in favor of any man.
The party gave me the nomination and
now it is up to the party, or the Exec
utive Committee, the constituted au-
thority of the party, to choose the
man, or to say how and when the man
shall be chosen to take my place on the
ticket, that they believe will make
the best race and the best sheriff
With kindest regards and best wish
es to the many friends who have as
sured me of their vote and loyal sup
port, am,
Very truly yours,
J. F. DOSS.

DETECTED BY EMPLOYERS
IN LARGE ENLIGHTENMENT
Statesmen and Bookkeeper fol
Denham & Arendale Ares
ted-Organized Scheme
Confessed to Plumber
Large Establishment
Chattanooga Times

Chattanooga Times:
SOUTH PITTSBURG, Tenn, June
26. This peaceable little city is stir
red today by revelations which cause
the downfall of seven young men,
hitherto trusted employees Of Denham
& Arendale, South Pittsburg's largest
mercantile firm.
Those implicated are: Earl Hoback,
a young married man, who has been
in the employ of Denham andArendale
for three years.
Charles johnson, single, salesman.
Carl Thompson, single, temporarily
bookkeeper in the absence of the young
lady, who is regular bookkeeper, but
who is OH an extended vacation.
Lawrence Rhodes single, salesman.
Lee Ridley, single, salesman.
John McGhee, single, salesman.
AL Long, former employe, who is
charged with being a depository of the
loot, and stands unable to make bond
and secure his release from custody.
For long time the proprietors of
the store have known something was
amiss and that leaks of large dimen-
sion existed in the management of the
business. But SO cleverly had the
scheme been executed, if a scheme it
was, that the merchants were unable
to detect any person as guilty, and
likewise unable to locate definitely
what was missing from the store
Their theory was that somebody was
getting away with both cash and mer-
chandise.
Several weeks ago they decided to
uncover the matter if possible. To
this end they employed professional
detective to work as salesman in the
store on the same basis as the other
employees. The arrests of this morn
ing are the outcome.
Lee Ridley is supposedly in st. Lou
is for the purpose of buying horses,
having recently announced purpose
to embark in the livery business. A
warrant is out for him, but no oppor-
tunity for service.
The other six were this morning ta-
ken before a magistrate and at once
took steps for settlement with their
employers.
Earl Hoback agreed at once to deed
to the firm house and lot he owns
here in settlement of the claim against
him. Charles Johnson agreed to pay
5000 in adjustment of his case, Carl
Thompson's debt was placed at $3.50,
which he will settle Lawrence
Rhodes and John McGhee are implica-
ted for only small amounts AL Long,
as stated, was not able to make sat
isfactory adjustment.
All the young men have been high
ly regarded here, the community hav-
ing confidence in them as men of pro-
bity and honor. They had the confid-
ence of everybody and the best people
in South Pitts burg were their friends.
1t was therefore great shock to every
body when the revelation, hitherto Sc
curely guarded, was made by the ac-
cusation and arrest of the six. 1t is
not known what steps will be taken as
to prosecution, but it is probable there
will be nothing done in case Ridley
and Long succeed in satisfying Den
ham & Arendale as the others have
done. If anyone is prosecuted, it
will be difficult for, the others..to escape
having their cases handled in like
manner by the law.

WALKER PUTS
MINERS CASE
President of Illinois Un-
ion Gives Facts on
Wage Scale Demands
BY JOHN n. WALKER
President of the United Mine Workers Of
America, for Illinois

''The operators from the moment
negotiations were broken off in Peoria,
have kept up, through the press, by
circulars and also by paid agents, re-
presenting them to do their work un-
der cover, a campaign of deception, by
misleading, false and unfounded state
ments for the purpose of trying to put
the miners in false light and create
hnfavorable sentiment against them.
''Within half an hour after negotia-
tions were broken off, Notwithstanding
it had been previously agreed to be-
tween President Moorshead and myself
that it was useless to continue negotia-
tions and that we should end the pre-
sent conferences by one of us making
a motion to adjourn and having it Sc
conded by the other, they gave out to
the press that it was the miners who
had broken off negotiations and tried
to make it appear that they, the oper-
ators, were granting every demand
that was made by the convention.
'The facts are, as we can show by
the records, that they are making
statements wholly untrue, as our in
ternational convention was at that
time on record to the effect that any
agreement entered into in Illinois must
carry with it the paying of the shot
firers by the operators, and that out
side the basic point at Danville, we
had the right to readjust any Unequal
tiles, both with regard to prices and
conditions, anywhere in the state.
every operator in the state, outside
the ones operating the mines in Frank
lin and Williamson counties, has made
the statement privately that the rate
in their district is an outrage and not
only an injustice to the miners, but al
so to every other operator in the state.
1t is so unfair that the operators in
those counties can undersell every 9th
er operator in the state. One company,
the United Coal and Mining Company,
with one little mine, according to
statement issued by the company it.
self, cleared in profits last year over
$100, 900, and also paid nearly an eq-
ual amount on their outstanding obli-
cations. Williamson and Franklin
counties put two million tons more
coaTin the ST. Louis market last year
than they did the year previous, while
the mines in the Belleville district,
just across the river, lay idle practi-
cally all the time.
"With regard to the shot-firing prop
osition, the law provides that the op-
orators shall pay for the inspection and
the firing of shots, and the operators
had just as much right, in principle,
to hold us up on the street and take
money from our pockets to pay these
shot -firers, as they did to hold us up at
a period of depression and threaten to
exterminate our organization If we re-
fuse to give them that money, partic-
ularly so when it can be shown that
