1t seems that "One of his audi
ence" who wrote up" Mr.. Alexan-
der's speech at Florence last week,
doesn't see things like your Mon
terey correspondent sees them. "One
of his audience" says: Possibly
he caught a few suckers, though
we have not heard of one" just
on the same page the Monterey cor
respondent, who owned to have
heard Mr.. Alexander's speech, says:
Mr.. Alexander made lots Of friends,
and we are thoroughly convinced
that the true citizen who stands
for pure politics and, Christian
craftsmanship cannot afford not to
support him in this campaign"
Now taking the statements of "One
of his audience" just above the one
quoted and those of the Monterey
Correspondent and putting them
together. shows that somebody's
wrong. Looks likt people could
discuss the different candidates and
their measures without applying
epithets to the followers of another.
Your brownsville correspondent,
from reading the political press,
has about decided that we have the
three grandest rascals in the state
running for the United States SEN
ate, and that no man who votes for
any of them can ever hope to be
forgiven, for this must be the un-
pardonable sin we have heard so
much about. We have certainly
reached an acute stage of political
mania when a man can't cast his
ballot according to the dictates of
his conscience without having some
vile epithet applied to him by some
other man who does not agree with
him. We have freedom Of speech,
and we use it; but some would re-
strict freedom of conscience,
thought and action.
The beat five Sunday school con-
venton held at Dry Greek last Sun
day was a decided success from ev-
cry view point. The work of the
Sunday school was discussed in all
its phases. Several talks were made
and papers read. Mr.. w. A. CHS
holm. one of the state field work
ers, was here and made two splendid
addresses. No one could listen to
him without becoming moro inter
ested in Sunday school work. A
number of schools were represented
and made good reports. A large
crowd was there, many from dis
lance. A bountious dinner was
spread. Everybody present. we
think, must be a better man or
woman by being there. The next
convention goes to Mayton.
