Misunderstood.

There are many people who do
not thoroly understand the man.
ner in which a newspaper is run,
and where and how it derives its
revenue, and in order to make it
certain t1d plain. we want to
state that a newspaper charges
for everything that it says about
any man who is a candidate for
any office. The Advocate does
not take up the fight between
any two candidates, but publish
es. for the benefit of the candi-
dates and the readers of the pa
per. The Advocate is not now,
nor will it take any side or part
in the fight, for, or against any
man for any Office. The people
are the support of the paper and
it will without favor or affection
publish anything anyone desires
to put in, provided it is paid for
and is not obscene or scurrilous.
The editor and every employee
of the Adyofat' viii no doubt
vote for some caHu.dlte for every
office, that is a personal privilege
and all men take tcat, but we
are not going to refuse any man
or. are We going to take up a
personal fight for or against any
man in this political game. The
law makes it plain our duty, as
well as our own conscience, and
we shall treat all alike. If you
have something good you want
to say we will be glad to have it
as a news matter, but political
matter is all charged for. So
take due notice and be governed
accordingly.

Possible Fatal Shooting
In Clay County,

News reached this city yester-
day of the possible fatal shoot.
ing of Deputy Sheriff Geo. Hall,
of Clay Co., by bushwhackers
down on Laurel Greek, some five
miles below Manchester.
1t is thought the victim will die
as a result of his wounds, two of
which were inflicted by a Win
chester rifle it is believed, one
bullet lodging in the groin and
one passing through one arm.
No definite evidence of the
bushwhackers, for it is believed
there were more than one. has
reached us as we go to press but
Sheriff Roach, we learn, had
found the position in the woods
overlooking the highway from
which his Deputy was shot, as
indicated by broken brush and
footprints, and had fastened to
Middlesboro for the blood hounds
to try and pick up the trail. A
rumor was afoat to-day that later
Sheriff Roach had also been shot,
but it lacked confirmation.
We had hoped that with the
putting of the iron horse"
through the productive hills and
valleys of our neighboring county
its citizens, influenced by the
peaceful examples of Knox and
other furnishing mountain count
les, might have turned their at
tention to the building Of schools,
churches, factories and good
roads and letting bygones be BY
cones with their horrible sacrifi-
ces of humanlife and distressing
cost to the law abiding members
of the Commonwealth.

ways willing for those who may
choose to do so, share his hospi-
tally.
We predict that George, as he
is generally known by his ac-
quaintance, will make things
lively for the boys who may en-
ter the race. He promises, If
elected, to make good and eff
cient officer, without partially
or special favo, to any.

HENRY.STANFILL

olle VI TIE pTetlleSt SilIiStiiihS
weddings in Maryville was that
of Miss Lavona Henry and Mr..
John l.. S.anfill, of Coalwood, W.
Va, which was solemnized in the
presence of the immediate family
and only the close friends of the
bride at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
J. Ii. Henry, the parents of the
bride, on Christmas day at $50
p. m. The home was thrown
open and artistically decorated
in holly, garlax, lacothea, mistle-
toe and Killarney roses. The
bride was charming indeed in a
dress of brown charmeuse with
gold trimmings, shoes and a large
picture hat to match. Her only
attendant was Miss Nell Howard.
At the appointed hour the bridal
party descended the broad stair
way to the S trains of Lohengrin's
wedding march played by Miss
Adah Howard. The party was
met at the foot of the stairs un-
der a double archwry of mistle-
toe by Rev. J. Allen Smith, pas
tor of the Baptist church of this
place, who used the impressive
ring ceremony. Immediately
after the ceremony a five-course
dinner was served after which
the party motored to Knoxville.
Mrs. Stanfill is the Oldest
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. j. H.
Henry and is one of Maryville's
most popular young ladies, as
well as being quite a talented
musician, having been a music
teacher before going to Coalwood
where she held the position as
domestic science and music teach
err in the new high school.
Mr.. Stanfill is the second son
of Mr.. and Mrs. J. F. Stanfill, of
Barbourville, KY, a former stud
ent of Kentucky State and is
now holding a responsible posi-
ton in the offices of Geo. l.. Car
ter in the coal fields at Coalwood,
where he will take his bride to
reside after visiting relitives in
Cincinnati and Kentucky.
Maryville regrets exceedingly
that Mrs. Stanfll's marriage
takes her away but the good
wishes O. her many friends go
with her to her new home.
Handsomely engraved cards
announcing the Henry -Stanfill
wedding will shortly be issued to
the friends of the happy couple.

For Sheriff.

In this issue will be found the
announcement Of Hon. Read p
Black. for the Republican nomi-
nation for the Office Of Sheriff
Of Knox County.
We cannot in our feeble use of
the English language, begin to
convey to you the many good
traits of this philanthropic gen.
tleman.
He was educated in Union Col.
lege, and while he was brought
up in the city, he has always cast
his lot with the plain country
people who he has always loved
best. and who have always shown
by their acts that they love him.
He was reared by a man who was
considered wealthy, and had he
been like thousands of others,
he would have had that naughty
spirit, that is so wont by the boys
who are reared in the city or
town, to the contrary, he has
never been known to pass by the
humblest without an exchange
of kind words and deeds.
When the Spanish war broke
out and President Mckinley call
ed for young men to come to the
colors of his country, Read P.
Black was one of the first to re-
spond and after peace had been
declared he returned to his old
friends the same Read Black that
he was before he went to war
with the rank of a Lieutenant.
When the Taylor Gobel trouble
came on in Kentucky, he went
to Frankfort with his company
and was promoted from the rank
of a Lieutenant, to that Of Cap
tain, returning he again hung
the old sword in its place where
it hangs today, only waiting un-
til its owner shall hear the call
of his country to come to its de-
tense. Mr.. Black is a Christian
gentleman, a devout member of
the church, and a member Of
many of the leading secret socie-
ties.
He has never permitted the
beggar to leave his place unfed
or unattended; nor has the con-
tribution box ever passed him
when he did not respond liberal
ly. He comes to you not claim
ing credit for that which he has
done. because he believes it to be
a duty, and he looks upon it as a
pleasant duty to help those who
may need his assistance. He en-
tiers the race with full confidence
that the people will stand by him
in this race, and that his highest
ideal from his earliest childhood
will become a reality in being
nominated and elected To- the
high and honorable position he
now seeks at the hands of his
felloWcitiZens.
