A MALICIOUS LIE +!

The Dover Courier to the defense of Stewart county
and her citizenship and brands "a malicious ie'
made by the organ of Hooper and stahan which
charges crookednes the election that The
Courier up the nasty Banner exactly to our notion
want Partisan Readers to witness the job Here it u.s.
The alleged majority of 100 claimed by LEAFS organ for
Burrow Stewart county, which gave the presidential
Of 1912 majority of 734 for Mcin and cast total vote
for McNn and Hooper combined of only 842 that
resents nothing short of papabe fraud.
If the alleged vote cast in Stewart county wasn't crooked
the count certaly must have been. Nashville Banner.
The above two clippings represent nothing less than
outrageous and baeess libel people of Stewart county,
an unfounded malicious wilfu deliberate intentional ie
The statement is made without fact upon which base
the charge fraud conceived the evil mind of that
carpetbagger and selfconfesed liar Stahman whose
evness and crookednes of tongue will permit him
anything but evil in anyone else
We challenge Stahman's Banner to produce fact
supporits charge We challenge to produce complaint
from Republican election official of this county, cha
enge it to produce statement from Mr. c. A. Moray the
Republican election commissioner of Stewart county, whose
posoce address Indian Mound substanta,e charges
and fails to do intend to continue proclaim
it the Incorporate and malicious liar it has proven itself be-
For the first time the people of Stewart county ha been
accused of fraud elections and the charge reserted by
Democrats and Republicans alike.
Inc Banner seeks TO draw by stating that
while Burrows majority reported 100 the combined
vote for McMln and Hooper only 1843 in November
1910 Granted but the Shiny thing had had the decency
and fairness to look the the August election 1870
it would have found the combined of Moore Cate was
$685. of which Cate received 24 votes leaving majority of
$3.50 for Moore
And defy the Banner produce any charge fraud
against hepeople of this county that time or am other
time before it became the sefconsuted liar of that devil
sh good Governor Hooper, and up its loud and aucous
cry of stop thief "
In addition the Banner knew the majority g 100 to be
estimate only and its correspondent estimated the ma
orty at 1000 which estimate it published and which was
only Is in of the actual majority found upon Of
fetal canvass of the returns
Again only few hours before the charges were publish
ed Major Sahman discussing the in Steward county
in the Banner office charged fraud and told by gentleman
present that he had lived in Stewart county and knew peo
pie and that he mistaken in his charge Notwths andng
all this the Banner with utter disregard of Stewart coun
tvs good name publishes its charge of fraud
Again we say the charge is LIE A COMMON MEAN
LIE The charge entirely unfounded and only an evil
mind warped by crookedness of purpose and action
could have conceived such baseess charge.
The Banner has wanony lbeed the whole people of Stew
art county and the people of Stewart county demand that the
Banner either make good its charges and apologize
