Campton, Ky.a May %, IL.
Mr.. Editor:-In last weeks
issue of your valuable paper
there appeared an article
from some one at this place
in which the writer sought
t. mislead the voters of
Morgan county by making
statements anent the politi-
chi situation in this scounty
as regards the representative
race by referring to Mr..
Horizons supporters using
dark lantern methods. That
does Mr.. Horton aninjustice
in that the statements made
are untrue and unfounded.
The article in question also
claimed that Mr.. Stsmper

did John D. Rockefeller and An
drew Carnegie. Do we owe
them our votes? No.
Mr.. Voter, don't you believe
that Bro. Nick was mistaken
when he said every voter in the
district owed their vote to Hor-
ton? We will tell you a few
things that other people know.
Sir Isaac Newton the End was a
teller in a Democratic convention
at Campton two years ago and he
made himself famous as a count
er. He reported 300 majority
for his man when there was not
300 men in town that day and
not over Is votes difference be-
tween the two candidates. Here
is where he heard that welcome
applaudit, well done thou good
and faithful servant; we the
bosses, not the people, will give
you the nomination in 1911, and
true to their trust they are for
him, man to man.
Remember the result of the
election two years ago in this
districtand what caused it and
for fear history might repeat it.
self be careful how you vote.
Bro. Nick, | am a democrat, are
you? and will support the nomi-
nee, be he Horton, Dyer Or SIAM
per, will you? Please answer if
you can. PIGHEAD.

INDEX.

When we asked Bro. Nick to
tell US some of the merits of Mr..
Horton we didn't expect him to
be so hard up, judging from his
letter that his stock had run
down, so he attempts to point
out the dement's of the other two
candidates. In this he blows hot
and cold at the same time. He
starts off by saying Mr.. Dyer no
doubt was a good soldier and an
officer in the army and that he is
a good barber, a farmer and an
honest man. Right you are Bro.
Nick, here is our hand. We
have known George Dyer from
his infancy and know how he
was raised. His parents were
poor but honest. George was al
ways honest, truthful and indus
trious and today is as deserving
q young man as ever asked the
support of any people. Now,
Bro. Nick, as to Mr.. Dyer ever
firing a gun in defense of his
country will say that we were
not with him during his services
in the army and are not able to
say, but he has an honorable
discharge upon which he is cred
tied with IL hard fought battles.
The people can judge whether he
did any shooting or not.
Next is Howard Stamper.
Here Bro. Nick takes off his
gloves and goes after him. He
says that Stamper is a has been.
Well, that is more than you can
say for Horton, for he is not a
has been and is not now, neither
will he ever be the representa-.
tive of this district. Now, Bro.
Nick, if Stamper is as unworthy
as you say he is why did the
people Of his county elect him
County Attorney 2 or 3 times
and give him the nomination fol-
Commonwealths Attorney and
the voters in the general cleo
ton give him 4l2 majority.
No, Bro. Nick, we were not
surprised to hear that Mr. Hor.
ton was a good election manipu'
lator and a distributor of cam.
lpaign Doodle, but we were sur.
prised to learn thatSyou had no
thing better to say Ar him. Sc

MAY-BROWN.

B. F. Brown and Miss Lora

Rev. j. D. johnson, and left i'm
mediately for Louisville where
they will spend a week. They

years.
The bride is one of Magoffir

A universal recognition of
the principal that "all men
are created free and equal"
would do more toward re-
forming the world than all
the preachers that ever prea-
ched; would do more toward
lifting the poor mans bur-
den and curbing the greed
of the wealthy than all the
laws that were ever passed;
would 60 farther toward up.

would then be- a fact instead
of a theory; the Millennium,
concerning which we hear so
much, would not be far re-
moved; that justice TO r
which some poor devil has
striven so long would not
longer be delayed; equality
before the law would then
become an established fact;
prison doors would rust on
their hinges and jailers and
hangmen would throw up
their jobs; happy homes
would multiply and increase
and houses of prostitution
would decrease'in direct ra-
to; ignorance and supersti-
ton would be banished from
the world and the light of
reason would shine effulgent
through all the earth; the
thorn would be removed
from the flesh and the mark
of Cain almost obliterated,
beauty Of character and OF
soul would be reflected in
the face and ugliness and
hideousness would BECOME
things unknown.
That this time is coming
we verify believe. When
we know not, neither will
we hazard a guess, but il
aught we have said or done
brings it one moment near

DINGUS.

Josh Walsh, of Goodsey, and
Miss Rule Bailey, daughter of
T. H. Bailey, launched out on the
matrimonial sea the 18th. The
knot was declared tied by Rev.
R. H. Ferguson.
Farming has been delayed to
some extent by the dry weather.
We are anxious for rain but have
failed to pray for it as Elijah
did, who was a man of like pas
sion as we are.
In reply to your request for
our opinion on vote selling will
say we recently said through the
columns of the Courier that this
was one thing overlooked, while
other things of less Importance
was considered. God knows it's
the duty of honest citizens Of
the county who make up the
grand jury to investigate this
crime, which has done more to
obscure our moral horizon than
anything that history can re-
count. Not boasting, but if the
writer should ever be counted
worthy to occupy a seat on the
grand jury, (if things don't
change) there will be an eye OPP
ening which would be highly APP
preciated by all good citizens.

would carry every precinct
in the county and that Mr..
Horizons supporters had "re-
sorted to dark lantern meth
DDS in order to win from
him." all of which is silly
absurd and untrue, and were
it not that the voters of
Morgan county are unac-
quainted with Mr.. Horton or
the political situation in this
Wolfe) county, any COM
ment, defense or reply to
the article would be super
fluous. 1t is a we'll known
fact that the consensus of
opinion among the well in
formed Democrats of this
county is that Mr.. Horton
will carry the county by a
nice majority, and if Mr..
Stamper should be SO fortu-
nate to carry a single pre-
cinct it will be by a small
majority. AS to the clark
lantern methods" referred to
Mr.. Horton and his friends
have never thought of using
them, nor have they ever
been forced to resort to any
Misrepresentation or false
hoods in order to bolster up
Mr.. Horizons candidacy or
win the confidence of the
people. Mr.. Horton is a
quiet. unassuming young
man of splendid business
Judgment, honest, moral,
true to his promises, and a
bove all loyal to his friends,
and his word as good as his
bond; withal a man who can
be depended upon to stand

ed and elected will always
, be found at his post of duty
: fighting for the interests of
his constituency when the
. battle of ballots is over Nor
gan county Democrats will
know that their brother
, Democrats in Wolfe have
not been recreant to their

Candle MAKING In Chira,

The manufacture of candles in

the advent of the foreigner the ma
tives made them by crude methods
and used them in home and temple
Even today millions of candles are
made by the old process of dipping
at which the old Chinese are very ex
pert A mixture of tallOw and castor
oil is first prepared and the operator
placing a straw to serve as a wick
between each Of his ten fingers, dips
them into the preparation as many
times as necessary to give the candles
the desired thickness After this they
are set up on end against board to
harden and the straw wicks clipped
to a proper length. The finished prod
uct burns we'll, gives fair light is
consumed slowly. and. best of all, in
native eyes. is very cheap. These can
dies are usually made by small fac
tories for sale to storekeepers, but
many individuals still manufacture
for family and temple use.

oaded For Economv

fireman was up for examination
fer promotion to the position of engl-
neer. He passed a fair test on the
rules and machinery, but during all
of it the examiner was constantly lee
turing him as to the need Of economy
in the use of fuel and oil, so that by
the time he finished his examination
it was pretty well on his nerves. Hav-
ing finished the technical part, the ex-
aminer thought he would put the man
il a critical position to see what he
might do in an emergency. SO be put
this question: ''Supposing you are the
engineer Of a freight train on a single
track. and you are in danger of head
on collision with a passenger train,
and you know that you could not stop
your train-that q collision could not
be averted-wha would you do?" The

struction he had received as to econ
omy, replied in this way: why,
would grab the oil can in one hand
and a lump Of coal in the other and
