its basis.

sis one in which Howe is charged
with stealing horse from Andrew

west of Williston and it is alleged
that after disposing of the animal
to Andrew Onstad of the city it
passed through the hands of sew
eral owners to be finely located on
the farm of j. r. Hughes who re-
sides twenty two miles north east
of this city. The stallion was re-
| pleyincd by Berg from Hughes and
the states chain of evidence con-
sisted of tracing the horse back

ber 1908 until he saw it in the
Hughes barn in May 1910.

THE ANDREWS NOTICE.
No Delegates or Committeeman VIII

the Law.

Mr.. Editor:-I just received let
ter from VIM. ]. Andrews stating
that all candidates for Office for ex-
ecutiye committees and for delegates
10 County Conventions were required
TO swear to and file with Clerk OF
the Superior Court within ten days
after the primary statement or
their receipts and expenditures as
candidates in said primary. Failure
TO file such sworn statement subjects
the delinquent to a fine Of $200 and
thirty days in Jail. 1t is matter or
fact, the law says nothing about Ex-
ecutive Committees or delegates
either; l guess because Andrews,
Briggs, Harris & Company have de-
ceived a few country people that
they have drawn the conclusion that
all are fools. l suppose one Of their
men who are following them left his
field and proceeded to take the first
train to get his filed. AS for me, l
was to no expense, had nothing to
file; hence l am quietly awaiting to
be executed by Sheriff Harris and his
negro constituents. It appears to me
any man could see that Andrews and
his gang were trying to appeal to the
peoples ignorance. Why did An
drews and Wildes date the letter on
June 7th and mail it on June 10th at
5a. m? This was quiet early for
city people to arise from their magni-
scent places of repose. Can it be this

chine in the Raleigh post-ofice, or
