HOYNE ISSUES A STATEMENT REGARDING
AGITATION IN VOTE FRAUD DEAL

- OLdC6 5 Attorney MaClay f1OyuS
has issued the following statement
relative to the pending agitation on
the subject of vote frauds in connec
ton with the election of last fall:
To the People of Cook County,
False and misleading statements |
have appeared in the public press in |
support of an appeal for contribu-
lions to finance the so-called 'fVote
Fraud Investigation" in charge of the
special grand jury impaneled by
Judge William Fenimore Cooper, who |
also appointed as special states at |
etorney, Mr.. John E. Northup.
= good cause does not need false |
hood and Misrepresentation to boil |
-ster it up. 1t has been publicly stated |
that l, as states attorney, refused to
make an investigation; that Judge |
Baldwin said the November election
was fraudulent and should be inves-
tigated; that county commissioners |
who opposed the resolution for $15,- |
900 for. Mr.. Northup and his grand i
jury were thereby obstructing the in
vestigation of election frauds, etc.
l am told that after the meeting |
of the County Board, Tuesday, all the |
commissioners opposing the resolu-
ton for the $4,000 appropriation
were followed by detectives from the
meeting and that some of these com
missioners have been threatened with |
~coercive measures in the form Of |
abusive articles in the press and |
mass meetings.
l submit to the fair-minded people
of Cook county who are not in SYM
pathy with political jobbery and
malicious attacks on public officers
the following:
First-After the November cleo
ton, when the defeated candidates
for states attorney made charges of |
fraud, twice publicly offered to pre-
sent to the grand jury all evidence of
fraud in the election,

cult Court and consented to submit
the matter to then Chief Justice
Baldwin, a Republican.
Third-Messrs. Rinaker, Guinea
and Haight did not apply to Judge
Cooper for special grand jury and
special states attorney until about
five months after the election, and
after Judge Baldwin had recounted
the ballots in the country towns and
in "a out of the IS wards in the city.
Fourth-The good faith of the
present investigation was and is dis
credited by reason of the facts, (a)
that the application came from three
disappointed office seekers; (b) the
application was made to the only
Judge of the Circuit or Superior
Courts with whom I had had a per-
sonal controversy; (c) the applica-
ton was not made before or shortly
after the petition for recount charg-
ing in detail frauds by wards and
precincts was filed before Judge Bald
win, but only after it was apparent
that all doubt of my lawful election
was at an end.
Fffth-Judge Baldwin never said
that there was general or consider
able fraud in. the last election for
states attorney and other officers.
He did say from the bench, in open
court at the conclusion of the re-
count, that he was convinced there
had been little fraud, if any, and it
was confined to about six and not to
exceed ten precincts out of the 1,400
odd precincts in the city.
Sixth-Judge Baldwin has repeat
edly stated during the recount that
there was no evidence that l or my
friends were guilty of completely in
or knowledge of any fraud, if any was
committed. 1 have complete record
of Judge BaldWin's opinion and re-
marks.

Seventh-No evidence of election
frauds was ever submitted to me nor
any offer to submit such evidence
ever made.

yards or fields where sick hogs are
kept and carrying the Infection on
their snoes and clothing to other
premises where healthy hogs are
confined. 1t should be remembered
that discharges from a hog infected
with cholera are very infectious and
owners should not go, or allow any
of their help to go, on premises where
there are sick hogs. Neither should
they allow neighbors to go among
their hogs when cholera exists in a
community. Healthy hogs should
be cared for by persons who have not
been where the disease exists and no
one should be allowed near the heal
thy drove.
8. By streams receiving drainage
from infected premises. 1t streams
running through hog lots are drain
ing infected premises, the hogs should
be Immediately moved to other pre-
misses.
4. By buying hogs from premises
where the disease exists or from
public stock yards Hog cars and
! stock yards must always be consid-
cred dangerous.
5. By allowing neighbors the ser
vice of your stock hogs. This is a
dangerous practice.
6. By failure to isolate newly pur-
chased hogs until their freedom from
disease has been ascertained. New
hogs should be isolated for month.
If they have cholera or have been
exposed, the disease will develop in
this time.
The next article will be on sanitary
measures which should be adopted
to control this disease.

A man recently tried out the guar

went back to the drug store and said
the medicine hadn't helped him.
This druggist just reached into his
cash register and took out a half dol

He owned up that he was just try

Hog Cholera and its Control.

Note-This is the third of series
of short press bulletins on hog chole-

SYMPTOMS of the disease and the

The following are few of the most
common ways by which the disease
is spread:

of the carcasses of dead hogs. Buz-

MURDER, OR DEATH
BY ACCIDENT?
White Mans Body Discovered In Sal
kehatchie River-AuthOrities
Probing Mystery.

Has the discovery of the body OF
q white man, in Salkehatchie river,
seven or eight miles from Hampton,
disclosed a murder mystery, or is 1t
a case of accidental death while the
victim was attempting to cross that
stream on log?
Foul play, at the hands OF some
party or parties whose identity is un-
known, is the substance of the verdict
returned by a Hampton county cor
oner's jury today, after viewing the
remains supposed to be those of Paul
kirkland, of Sycamore, Barnwell
county, the identity being indicated
by letter found on the badly de-
composed body, which, in the opinion
of DR.. C. A. Rush, of Hampton, had
been lifeless for at least six months.
Practically all of the flesh had been
eaten off the bones by buzzards.
The body was found late yesterday
afternoon about a mile and half east
of the spot where the Hampton ana
Branchville Railroad crosses the Sal
kehatchie river. 1t was lying across
log in a shallow part of the stream,
the head on one side of the log, the
feet on the other.
The condition of the body was such
as to make Identification by that
means impossible, but lying in the
river, directly under where the body
was found, a pocketbook containing
Sc and several letters was discovered.
The contents of only one of these
letters was addressed to paul Kirk
land. Sycamore, S. c. and proved to
be a dun for balance due on a piano.
The only part of the date that could
be made out was the year "1911."
Magistrate J. G. Murdaugh, of this
place, was notified of the finding OF
the body and he arranged to have
the inquest held today.
While the general opinion held by
the spectators at the inquest was that
the victim of this tragedy met his
death by accident, while attempting
to cross on the log, tripping and fall
ing at the same time his head strik-
ing a snag, probably rendering him
unconscious the jury decided that
the man must have been slain, and
the formal verdict was to that ef-
feet.
No such person as Paul kirkland
was or is known in this vicinity, and
as Sycamore is about twenty miles
from here and has no telephone COM
munication, it has been impossible to-
dav to find out whether or not the
remains are those of former resi-
dent of that town. The local authorl-
ties. however, are at work on the case,
and it is expected that by tomorrow
some clue will have been obtained
which will aid in solving what at
present appears to be very deep
mystery.
The body was buried near the spot
where it was found.

WHOLESALE GROCERS AN

Their Territory Limited This RegionSome of the Fea
lures Which Put Them in Glass by Themselves
Pure Food" Idea Strongly Emphasized

4 = Z
Var up in the forefront of the big 'busi-
nesses which are keeping Birmingham
first in the list of southern cities is the
great wholesale grocery trade which has
been built up here until the eity's stores
now supply the entire regior rot only
within the industrial zone herself,
but in many other sections as well.
1t is not generally appreciated how tre-
mendous is the volume of this great trade
how it has grown from the city itself
until it now supplies a patronage of
many thousand retail establishments in
every town and village within Alabama
and how it has even broadened until il
has entered into the regions of other
cities spheres.
1t is weakly stating the fact to say
that the wholesale grocery houses of .Bir-
mingham cater to every conceivable
branch of the trade. Into the NAV of
their great storehouses here are pour
ing daily carloads of every conceivable
thing TO cat that is grown in Christen-
dom or out of it for that matter And
through their great systems of local and
foreign delivery these groceries are
shipped forth again, some to the little
country storekeeper in one box lots and
some to the great retail concerns of this
and other cities in quantities that re-
quire whole relays of fast freight cars
to haul.
At the same time the great wholesale
grocers of Birmingham have notneglected
the purely local end of their trade and
that has been developed so amazingly
that the market is covered with the ut
most dispatch and in local shipments that
really seem too big to be sold in month
in even the big retail stores.
Business Systematized
The business of wholesaling groceries
has developed within the past few years
as few others in this country. The sales
departments have been systematized so
that any of the large houses in the city
can compute almost to a 10-pound tub
