\ special from Bristol, Tennessee,
to the Charlotte Observer says:
''Rumblings of discomfort are
heard from Lee County, Virginia,
among the men who stand indicted
on charges of election bribery, due
to the fact that the main point which
they wanted decided by the Supreme
Court Of the State was not passed
upon.
cit is claimed by persons interest
ed in the view of the more than 200
men who are under indictment that
the prosecution turned a trick and
brought about a decision upon a diff
ferent question than that sought to
have tested.
LAS a result, it is said that the
friends Of the men indicted are not
willing that Judge Skeen of the Cir
cult Court, who is said to have been
largely responsible for instituting
the election investigation, expect to
petition him to refrain from sitting
during the trial of the cases. allow
ing Judge from a distance to hear
the cases.
at seems to be the impression
among the indicted men that it would
be unwise for Judge Skeen to hear
the cases, inasmuch as it is not de-
MED that he has taken an active hand
in the investigation from the start.
aiding the Commonwealth attorney
and even directing that indictments
be returned in some instances with
out hearing witnesses
1T is feared by some that violence
may result at the trials ifJudge Skeen
persists in presiding. Threatening
communications have already been
received at Jonesville, where the
court is held, and one received by
Judge Skeen threatened effect that
another such tragedy as that enact
ed at Hillsville, Va, March IA, might
be anticipated in the event the indict-
ed men are sent to Jail. We will
die and go to h-ll,' the communi-
cation concluded, before we will sub
NIT to going to jail
THE casts are set for hearing Au-
gust 18th, and it is expected that
lengthy siege of hearings will be in
augurated at that time, it being
claimed that the bribery will be
found to be as extensive perhaps as
that involving citizens of Adams
County, Ohio, in an investigation not
long ago."

so much beer on it, his friends
couldn't keep quiet. NotWithstand

nominated for the Democrat prohibit
ton candidate for Governor. Wheth-
err Mr.. Maddrey votes for him Or not,
hundreds of others, just as sound
prohibitionists as he, will, and thus
aid and abet in the sin of which Mr..
Maddrey so timely complains. So
long as good people encourage the Ii

preach against it all they please and
it will do no good Thank you, Mr..

the Republicans Of the county TO join

to say that "all the best women are
