perhaps have not been able to get
all who are guilty of this charge.
From the evidence that we have
had before Us, and from what we
are able to ascertain. we find that
there are men in the county who
seem to think that they had a right
to buy and sell their votes as if they
were piece Of personal property.
We cannot find language too strong
to express our condemnation of
such conduct. The matter of self
government should be held more
sacred than to be subjected to such
practice. We appeal to every
white citizen in the county in the
interest of good government to
spurn any suggestion that his vote
or influence could be bought or
sold. We earnestly appeal to the
people that they so conduct them
selves in the future that they will
be above suspicion, and that this
charge can never be truthfully
brought against any citizen Of Lin
coin county. From our informa-
tion and observation. we know that
the successful workings of the court
depend largely upon the efficiency
of the deputies; and in this connec-
tion, we desire to. appeal to the
incoming sheriff, Hon. Hugh Mont
gomery, to use every precaution
and his best Judgment. backed by
conscientious desire. to do his
whole duty in selecting his deputies
all over the county, and especially
in and around the court house. We
do not believe it to be the best
interest of the county to have depu-
ties working around the court
house who are in sympathy with
crime and who are in any way con-
|nected with the criminal element.
We do not believe that men who
have been connected with crime
themselves. either directly or in
directly, should be used as deputies
in and around the court house, as
their influence is always on the side
of the criminal.
We desire to thank the court and
officers for the support they have
given US in our deliberations.
They have always been ready and

Trouble for Three Over Re
fusal to Testify Before
Grand Jury.
TWO MEMBERS OF
SUPERVISORS INDICTED
Circuit Clerk S. P. Oliver Makes a
Sensational Talk Before the
Court.

George Oliver. who was placed
in Jail Saturday by order of the
court on account of his refusal to
answer questions propounded by
grand jurymen in regard to Jelec-
tion corruption. was taken before
them again Thursday. but stead
fastly held his silence. and then
was taken up to the court room.
where he was given round lec-
ture by Judge Miller.
Circuit Clerk S. P. Oliver, the
father of the young man, then
arose and stated that he had done
all in his power to induce his son
to talk. but without avail. He
also made the avowal that he would
not use the power of his Office in
any effort to aid him, and that he
would be treated in the same man
ner as any other individual.
The circuit clerk was most SEN
sational in his short talk, stating
that up to three years ago he be-
lieved in foreign missions and the
church, but since that time his
opinion had changed. Church
members will not give a helping
hand to the fallen man, he said,
and in Brookhaven they noW would
be ashamed to be seen walking the
streets with his son. who now, he
said. is in the position he occupies
because of the influence of men
high up in business and official po-
sitIons.
Henry Moak, who was also inn
prisoned Wednesday on the same
charge, told his tale" Thursday
and was released from custody, but
not till after he had been up with
lOliver and was at the jail door
when he changed his mind =

led on him.
| Wilford Britt refused to answer
a summons to appear before the
Grand Jury. Britt escaped the
deputy serving an attachment, and
the court imposed a fine of $100
and 30 days in Jail for contempt.

L. F. NOBLE INDICTED.
| The Grand Jury IN its final re-
port returned an indictment against
Hon. z. P. Jones. President of the

bezzlement. The Indictment al
leges that Mr.. Jones received from
Mr.. Graham the sum of $144.00 as
fine and costs against Will Wall

Mr.. Jones converted said amount
of money to his own use and benefit
instead of turning the same over to

Religion Forward Movement Spreads

From the Omaha Evening Bee.
 The Men and Religion Forward Move ment seems to be proceeding along the sanest lines pursued by any of the va rious church enterprises in late years. Perhaps it is because it was founded and is being promoted by nard headed lay men who are used to sane methods in business outside of the work of extend- ing the gospel It evidently rests, first, upon the broad basis that the church has a mission to perform, which it has not been performing as well as it should. that mission being to help the world in solving it's problems. It can do this better whc. t gets into closer, work- ing relations with the world. The pres- ent movement for once recognizes this.
