tHe Pdood6o u Hlo uilly UldCh throat, and is a lie, is lie. '-J. B. Wood, in reference to George P. Wilmington. My speech at Mt. Ida was all the truth and J. B. Wood has nev- CT denied it and never will do so. He has insulted me here today as outside political campaign he would never dare to do. At Mt Ida he made a personal affront to me, and in Hot Springs his son, Scott Wood, has made threats against s my life. That is the way they make answer. When I make my " answer, after March 27, it will be , with my strong right arm, and not with knife or gun, and you, J. B. Wood, will eat the words you have " said here today, and I will choke them out of you, and you will eat them again, and I will make you spit them cut. George P.

 Hot brings, Ark, Feb. 21.-Tha name of H. K. Toney, of Pine Bluff former president of the Arkansas Senate, came near bringing George P Wilmington and J. B.
