Convention on the 18th about five
O'Clock in the afternoon and | know
Lot whether they and Mr.. Stancil
had any conversation in regard to
that matter after that or not, as |
have seen neither of them since
Why certainly, if Mr.. Stancil had ever
Explained the matter to me at any
time | would not have questioned
him about it through the paper. Mr..
SanciI says that when he reached
the Office that morning that there
had been few copies printed and he
noticed that the Convention was not
announced and he ordered the press
stopped, some other matter taken
out and the Convention notice in
serted. Well, that was all right that
far, but why did he not give orders
that those papers should not be mail
ed to anybody? Then he would have
done the right thing again. Stancil
says Butterflies can imagine strange

DuncanteS can actually do strange
things. Stancil wants to make it ap-
pear that he was very nice indeed in
advertising the Convention and pri-

Stancll denies that he agreed to
vote for Mr.. Parker as delegate to
Tie National Convention. All know
Soout that is, that some of the dele
safes of his township tell me he
