Vardaman- McCaula Cow Paid
For By Ripley Man.

Ripley, Miss, July ID. w. N.
McCau!a, the Grenada county
farmer who some time ago certl-
fled that James K. Vardaman
was indebted to him in the sum
of S27. so balance due him on a
COW sold about fifteen years ago,
was in Ripley today and secured
a check for that amount less the
interest. This interesting settles
ment come up in this manner:
A few weeks ago. M. L. Fin
ger, prominent merchant of this
place. seeing McCaula's state
ment in the papers, wrote that
gentlemen a personal letter and
a reply verifying the charge was
received. In showing this letter
to some friends, some of Major
Vardaman's supporters disputed
the authorship Of the letter and
the discussion Of the letter led
up to a signed agreement by G.
w. Smith, an ardent Vardaman
supporter. as follows:
Ripley. Miss, July 4, 1911.
This contract shows that a
conversation held between M. l..
Finger and G. w. Smith says
that if w. M. McCaula will come
here and make affidavit before
G.. O. Duncan or S. w. Pegram
that G. ". Smith says that the
debt is valid one, the people
will make up the money and pay
for said COW is the amount is
$27. so.
(Signed) &c. W. SMITH. /"
Actuated by a desire to vindi
cate himself and being placed on
the defensive, Mr.. Smith prompt
ly delivered to Mr.. McCaula a
check for the amount claimed.
McCaula left on the afternoon
local, the same train which car.
ried Maj. Vardaman to his next
appointment.
McCaula quietly appeared in
Ripley last night, accompanied
by a Mr.. Moody, a business man
of Grenada, and armed with an
Endorsement signed by thirty
eight business men, lawyers,
farmers and laboring men of his
home county. His presence was
known to but few and it was a
great surprise to the large
crowd that had assembled here
to hear Major Vardaman speak
when they heard that Mr.. Nc
Caula was in town ready to
make a required affidavit in the
presence Of both Finger and
Smith.
Some questions signed by a
number of citizens were presen-
ted to Major Vardaman to ans
wer in his speech today among
them being one asking why, af-
ter securing the $l8, 900 in salary
as governor. he had failed to pay
the $27. so alleged to be due far
mer McCaula for a COW? These
questions were copied and distri-
bnted to the people and the orig
inal copy sent to Major Varda-
man, but in his speech, which
lasted three hours, no attempt
was made to answer or explain
any of these questions. II was
suggested by some one that Var
daman might deny that he owed
this debt and McCaula promptly
offered to meet that gentleman,
each with q friend as witness at
any hotel or room and let Major
Gardaman himself say whether
the debt was just or not. Nc
Caula is q man about 60 years Of
age and has the appearance Of
an honest and hard working far
mer. The affair has created and
was a subject Of much discussion
BY the large crowd after the
but the day passed oft
quietly.

Cattle Buried Alive.

Five cattle belonging to George c.
Thomas, of Bartholows, met death in a
singular manner some time during FRI
day night last, by being smotheted under
a straw rick. Mr.. Thomas estimates his
loss at about $500.
The rick had been worn away consid-
erably at the bottom by the cattle, but it
was thought to have sufficient weight at
the top not to be top heavy From some
cause, however, it fell over and buried
alive the sleeping cattle under it. When
Mr.. Thomas went out to the barnyard in
the morning he saw but one of the six
cattle he had left in the yard, and at once
suspicioned the others had been caught
under the fallen rick.
The straw was at once removed in the
hope of rescuing the animals, but when
found they had apparently been dead
some time, their life having been smoth-
cred out almost instantly. The loss of
Mr.. Thomas is almost total one, as the
only money he could realize on them was
that received from the sale of the hides,
which he brought to Frederick on Satur-
day and disposed Of.

conditional upon the report of the COM
