To MY CoUNTRYMEN:

TO MY COUNTRYMEN:
We Americans admire men for their
sincerity Of purpose, and strength of
character. But no matter how sincere
or how honest a man may be, we cannot
always admire what is back of the man
that is, the fundamental principles of
his views as regards society, religion, etc.
Our bulwark is our freedom and we
must not sell it for a mess of pottage.
We bought it at the price of blood and
no true, whole hearted American will
offer it for sale on bargain day. 1t is a
legacy handed our forefathers at York
town, perpetuated by Lincoln, and the
ideal American citizen, who sees an
I enemy of the generations to follow lurk-
ing in the distance, will sacrifice to route
IS enemy. Should we be apprehensive
t an enemy of our freedom is crouch
as it were, at our very doors? Let
1swer this question by asking an
one. What has been the history
Catholicism heretofore? Most of our
eaders are familiar with past cOndi
ons of Spain, France, Portugal, and
ie PHILIPPINE Islands. Why is not one
our neighbOrs, Mexico, on a higher
ene of civilization to-day? Should not
truth of the heresy and atrocity
ticed during the reformation burn
the breast of every liberty-loving
Aerican?
Washington is the capital of our be-
red country, not Rome. Dover is the
ad of our own dear little State, not
me. Friends, Rome has focused her
isses of hope and expectancy on Della
.ssre, politically, as never before. Why?
Simply because a political party has
nominated one of its subjects for the
high Office of Governor. Understand
me, l take my hat off to Mr.. Monaghan
in that he may be a better man morally

trial Of l.. w. Eoykin. John Bell Tow
i'll and w. =. Tatum. former state
d.spensarN officials charged with con-
spiracy t. dcfraud the state. was be-
-un Yesterday morning i'm the Rich
land court of general sessions and
twill he continued today. The charge
| against the defendants grew out of
IN purchase of 21.000000 labels for
lwhiskey bottles from the firm of
Nivison- -Weisliopf Il Co.. of Cincin-
| natl in April 1905, at a cost of 35,677,
of which the company has refunded
500 to the state as excess profit"
on the transaction. now famous in
the annals of the State dispensary
as the label deal"
| The label case" was first heard
last September i'm the Eichland court
and resulted in a mistrial after the
jury had dcliberated for 30 hours.
The absence of its principal wit
ness. John Il. Early. of Cincinnati, a
salesman for liquor house, handi-
capped the State, which. nevertheless.
said that it would be willing to go To
the trial, if the defense would agree

| Early gave last September to be read
to the jury. After some discussion.
the defense finally agreed to the
States proposition. The reading of
! Earley's testimony consumed about
three hours of the morning session.
! Dennis Welskopf, president Of the
firm of Nivison- Weiskopf e. Co., of
cincinnati. from which the labels were
bought, testified in the afternoon.
Other witnesses for the state heard
yesterday were: w. b. Dove. assis-
tant secretary Of State Y. II. Vance.
clerk in the state treasurer's office.
and Neils Christensen. senator from
beaufort county. The State will
probably rest its case this morning.
An interesting feature of the case

introduction Of part of Earley's
| testimony in which he told Of an al
legged conversation in which

testimony on direct examination was
read. Judge Gary ruled it incompe-
tent after hearing arguments. But
practically the same evidence reoc-
(curred in the testimony Farley gave
on cross-eXamination, and the court

close of the afternoon session. Judge

the bayou to the cabin. and he ran
back up the path the distance OF a
mile and plunged into the woods on
his right. his purpose being to pass
around the head of the expanse OF
sluggish water to q point from which
he could later approach the cabin.
But the cabin proved to be better
defended than he had foreseen; and
as he advanced, the difficulties OF the
task he had set himself became al
most insurmountable; yet sustained
as he was by his imperative need, he
tore his way through the labyrinth OF
trailing vines, or floundered across
acre-wide patches OF green slime and
black mud, which at each step threat
ened to engulf him in their treacher-
Gus depths, until at the end OF an
hour he gained the southern side OF
the clearing and a tirmer footing
within the shelter of the woods.
Here he paused and took stock OF
his surroundings. The two or three
buildings Mr.. Hicks had erected stood
midway Of the clearing and were very
modest improvements adapted to their
owners somewhat fiippant pursuit OF
agriculture. While Darlington was
still staring about him. the cabin door
swung open and a woman stepped
forth. 1t was the girl Bess. She went
to a corner of the building and called
loudly:
Joe! Oh, Joel"
Darlington glanced In the direction
Of the keel boat and an instant later
saw Slosson Chamber over its side.
The tavern-keeper crossed tc the cab
In. where he was met by Eess, who
placed In his hands what seemed to
be wooden bowl. With this he
slouched OF to one OF the outbuild-
ings, which he entered. Ten or tif-
teen minutes slipped by, then he came
from the shed and after securing the
door, returned to the cabin. HE was
again met by Bess, who relieved him
OF the bowl; they exchanged a few
words and Slosson walked away and
afterward disappeared over the side
Of the keel boat.
