been prevented from discharging the
duties of his office by being intoxicated.
To those who know him the quality of
these charges is apparent at once.
However, it was not intended by their
fabricators that they should circulate
among his home people. The authors
of such rumors have spread them in
the other counties of this district.
knavishly hoping to poison the minds
of those who do not know Will Burch.
We take this opportunity of branding
each and every one of these rumors as
absolutely false. Upon our response
bilities as officials and citizens we de-
clare to the people of this district that
Mr.. Burch is not gambler, that he
does not stay in negro dives, that he
has not been prevented from discharg-
ing the duties of his office because of
being intoxicated, and that he has
never stolen an indictment. 1t is to be
expected that those who spawn such
reports should do so in secret. and we
now challenge the men who ARE diffus-
ing these slanderous charges to come
out in the open and give their names
and not bastardize their own offspring
by refusing to father their mendacious
lutterances.
Mr.. Burch's lot is hard enough at
best. A cripple since childhood. with
pain his daily portion, it would seem
that even those who are opposing him
in this campaign would deem his suffer
ing enough without adding to it the
wounds inflicted by falsehoods. We
are confident, however, that sncb
methods will receive their proper re.
ward. A lie can not live. On the third
OF August the voters of this district
will pass upon these tactics. To their
judgment we confidently submit the
issue as to whether or not it will be AL
lowed to blacken a mans character in
order to affect their suffrage.

In the three days tour of Mercer in
which Congressman Helm met Judge
Sullivan in joint debate before numer-
Gus voters, the latter attempted again
to inject the Temperance issue and, but
he was introduced by Col. Jack Chinn
while Mr. Helm was introduced by the
Rev. DR.. w. P. Harvey, the distin-
guished Baptist minister and editor who
with four other Harrodsburg ministers,
is as enthusiastic for him as are the
ministers of Mr. Helms home town.
Rev. Homer Carpenter, pastor of the

Congressman Harvey Helm, on legisla-

desire enacted by congress. Mr. Car
penter said to the Interior Journal
Thursday
The temperance people of this dis

JUDGE SULLIVAN CAN'T WORK" The
TEMPERANCE VOTERS.
Stanford Pastors Well Satisfied With Har-
Vey Helms Position on Temperance
Matters.
interior Journal

Judge Sullivan, of Richmond, baffed
at every turn. in his efforts to win the
democrats of the Eighth Congressional
district, from their loyalty to Harvey
Helm is now putting forth the last eff:
fort of losing candidate and is resor-
ting to the extreme which is of tentimes
calculated to win votes when the people
have refused all other claims of a dis
credited candidate. He is endeavoring
to ride the temperance sentiment in
the Eighth district into congress upon
the trumped up allegations that the
whiskey people are behind Congress
man Helm, and the further considera-
ton that -Sullivan-is responsible for
most of the temperance laws now upon
the statute books of Kentucky.
Notwithstanding the facts in the
case, notwithstanding that Congress
man Helm declared himself as favoring
the measure in the national congress
which the temperance people most ar
IDENTIFY desire enacted into law and
which he himself has never yet, so far
as we have seen, publicly declare him
self as favoring, Judge Sullivan is now
attempting through the medium of per-
sonal letters to the voters all over the
district, to delude them into the belief
that he is the only dyed-in- the wool
temperance candidate while, on the
other hand he would have the people
believe, it seems, that Harvey Helm is
the candidate of all the distillers,
brewers and grog shop men in the
whole state of Kentucky, and that the
temperance people of the district will
have nothing to gain and everything
to lose by the election of Mr.. Helm.
Just what the temperance leaders of
Lincoln county think of this self seek
ing assumption Of the distinguished
candidate from Madison, is shown by
the following statement, signed by the
ministers of Stanford, Mr.. Helms
home:
WHAT TEMPERANCE LEADERS HERE SAY
Stanford, KY, July %, 1912
We, the undersigned ministers of
the christian churches of this city and

perfectly satisfied with the position of

ly desired by the temperance people.

Champion Snake SLAYER.

AS a snake slayer, Christian Calimer
of Glen Furney. Waynesboro, Pa, who
hunts rattlers for their venom as an
epilepsy cure, claims the Champion
ship of southern Pennsylvania. On
the first Sunday of the month he kill
ed eight and captured a monster vel
low RATHER alive. Yesterday he killed
four copperheads and one green snake
and caught two rattlers alive. in addi-
ton to pulling part Of the hide off a
black snake that escaped him.
Calimer presented a terrifying ap-
%pearance when he returned from his
last expedition. Two live rattlers were
wrapped around his neck. However,
he maintained a firm hold on their
heads. but their tails stood upright
about his ears and kept up a vigorous
rafting.
Rattlesnake venom is being used as
"a possible ure for epilepsy. A Way
nesboro physician regularly once n
month injects n small quantity of
snake poison into the arm of 81 young
man who. for a long period. has been
subject to terrible attacks of the af-
fiction. The poison has been inject
ed into him for about twelve months
and in all h a time he has not had a
return of the attacks.
