The week before the election
just about the time we had three
tourths of our issue for that week
printed. our press broke and it
was impossible to finish, and as
the result the papers going to a.
few post offices we're left off, and
some of those Offices happened to
be in Laurel county. A letter
received Wednesday broke the
news to US that in our effort to
elect Nat B. Sewell Representative
over c. R. Luker that we inten-
tentionally left over certain lists.
Such Abatement is too silly to be
even recognized, regardless of the
fact that the strongest article in
Mr.. Sewell's behalf, which ap-
peared at any time during the
campaign, appeared in that issue
and if either of the gentlemen
were injured in their fight by
reason of a few people in Laurel
falling to get that issue, it was Nj
Sewell and not Mr.. Luker. Suct
