We have been told that you must
not say anything, against whiskey
these days as it Is expected that
we will have a lot Of drinking till
after the election, and we have been
warned that it is dangerous to say
any thing. II such he the case
then we will have all the more to
say. If it is dangerous then We
will take the consequences. BIT
why should there be any mole
drinking now than before. 1t must
be that the candidates are having
something of hand in it, at least
we are informed that they are and

men that are using whiskey and de-
feat them for the office. Let us
pick out the men who are above

and influence and see that they are
elected. The man who will not use
either money or whiskey may be
on to make the best Off

are demanding that the men run a
clean race and why not Powell
fall into line. Why do not
the preachers all over the county
urge clean politics and why do not
other good citizens demand that

mand it all over the county then
will we have it. But we always get
the kind of officers that the major

get bad ones then il is the peoples

continue to take the stand We have.
There are great many splendid
men in Powell county and we want

SENTENCED TO JAIL

Declared Guilty Of Con.
tempt of Court.

Memphis, July 4.-Gilbert D. Raine,
editor and publisher of the News
Scimitar, was sentenced to 10 days in
Jail and fined $50 for contempt of
court late this afternoon by Judge A.
3. Pittman of the circuit court. An
appeal was taken by his attorneys
and bond fixed at $500. However.
Judge Pittman said the matter of bond
was of no consequence, and he al
lowed Mr.. Raine his liberty on his
own recognizanee. The matter of an
appeal and bond will be taken up up
on Judge Pittman's return from his
vacation on July IA.
In dismssing the charge against
Mr.. Orlemann, secretary of the COM
pany. the courts action was based on
the report of Attorney Caruthers Ew-
ing, appointed by Judge Pittman to
investigate the case. Ewing declared
that Mr. Orlemann should be relieved
of the contempt charge, in view of the
fact that Mr.. Raine assumed respon-
sibility of publication OF all articles
in the NeWs-Scimitar.
The charges on which Judge Pitt
man based his contempt proceedings
against Raine grew out of the publ
cation of an injunction restraining
newspapers from publishing news

ton with the missing pages" will OF
