Slemp had fine crowd out to hear
Stuart sing Mary Run Away With q
CooE, at Rishlands on last Saturday.
Uncle Tom Morgan, the Headlight
peddler, is selling the Headlight for
nothing. at retail, and it will be cheaper
after November the 8th.
There will be about 100 votes pass
down Big Creek on the 8th of Novem-
ber and Mr.. Slemp will only get 90 Of
them, but every little helps.
George Christian says if he can't spell
much that he had more common sense
at weaving time than W. a. Grimsley
displayed in his letters to the Clineh
Valley News.
Mr.. Stuart sung the same old coon
song that the Democrats have been
singing FOR the last tnirty-fve years,
then Mr.. SPOTS sung the two first
verses of "Nigger in the Woodpile, d"
and moved to adjourn till the next bar
becue.
1t is said that the Stuart leaders
hired every man and boy that they could
get from Norton to Bluefeld to come to
Richlsnds and yell for Stuart and then
couldn't get enough to raise a row and
had to get tough from Ohio TO kick up
fuss. They were mad because they
knew the crowd was over half for
Slemp.
George Houchins says he never had
the fever while he lived on Stuart's
farm but that a log rolled over him
while working for Mr.. Stuart and broke
his leg and few ribs which laid him up
for few months and that he guessed
that Mr.. Stuart thought it would be
better TO be nice tc him than to face a
damage suit. He also said he was a
Republican and if he had a vote he
would vote for Slemp, but as he was
disfrauchised he would not 90 to the
election. He said that every word he
said about Mr.. Stuart's kindness was
true and he couldn't see why anyone
wanted to put true statement in the
Pocshontas Headlight, that the truth
was entirely out of place in such a pa
per.

adopted the sane Infamous tactics .e-

That everything pertaining to such
matter will be ft.lse is absolutely NOV
en- in advance by the fact lhat they are
waiting until very short time before
the election, when there will not be sof-
ticient time remaining to get before all
the people refutation of such stuff as

ton to what he believes to be right m
der all the circumstances of each case.
This purpose is contemplated, it is
said, to try to offset the iii effect ur.on
the people Of M. Stuart's obvious ans
tocracy. He ca mot help holding him
SELF oloof Irom the people, and plai .ly
svidenciug by his manner that he con
aiders himself ABOVE them. He is yot

the Democratic press to create that IN

folly learned this fact torough the p
portunity Of coming into contact W IN

On the other hand, Mr.. Slemp is At
home with everyone, and everyone is At
home with him. He ia pleasant and he
Is kind, and as one writer expressed it
''he is plain as I'm old shoe" This is
the reason for the infinitely greater en-
thusiasm for Mr.. Slemp at all of lis
meetings, than ct the Stuart meetin J.
Everybody likes Mr.. Slemp we'll, and
all believe in him fully.
A large number OF absolutely unit ie
reports. of various sorts, are alres dy
reported to be IN circulation, but the
general character Of the Democrs ic
campaign thus ar has been such that
scant attention will be paid to them by
the people. There has bean so much
evasion, and twisting. matters around 20
show an entirely different purport Or
meaning, on tina pare of the Democrat tic
cenpaigners that 1t is fully evidenced
that no reliance can be placed even in
affidavits.
