LETTER FROM Geo. N. BOOTH
REPLIES To Statements Made By His
Opponent, Hardy Higginbottom.

Editor Record:-I take this op-
portunity to correct a statement in
last weeks Record by my opponent,
Hardy Hieeinbottom.
It seems as il Mr.. HigSinbottOm
could not get himself before the
people and get his name mentioned
enough unless he could make some
Misrepresentation and untruthful
statements against one of his op-
ponents, and try to make people
think he is a great factor in the
race.
want to say Mr.. Hiseinbottom
has made six incorrect statements
In his epistle Of last week. | made
no propositions to Mr., Hieeinbottom
or accepted any from him. He
made the proposition himself, and
then told me that | had too much
advantage Of him, Mr., Hieeinbot-
tom was over here last Saturday
and after | showed him the state
ment he made 10 the Record he ad-
mitted before George Kellett, Jack
Qualls and Asa Baker that the
statement was untrue, and said
Claude Coser made a misprint,"
and that he made no such state.
ment."
Hardy and | did talk about con-
testing our townships when he was
up at Banks school house, and he
knows | made no proposition, After
Sharp County record., 1916-03-10

we got back to Williford on Satur-
day told Hardy that | didn't care
to contest and told him if | went
ahead and defeated him in his
township t h al John Buchanan
wanted to run, and that had rath-
er run against him than MIR. Buch-
aDan; that Mr.. Buchanan was a
much stronger man in Lebanon
township than he was, and was
qualified to make an assessor.
Last Saturday in the presence Of
said kellett, QuallS and Baker |
iold Mr., Hieeinbottom | would con-
test and would pay the cost and
give him ten dollars for his trouble
If he beat me, But no, it is not a
contest he wants, It is popularity
he is seeking at the expense of one
of his opponents. Now, if anyone
disbelieves these statements, write
George Kellett. He has in his 20.
session letter from Hieeinbottom
making the proposition for a con.
test before ! ever thought of it.
| am very sorry this came up,
but in order to get justice | make
the above statements. | have al.
ways endeavored to treat my op-
ponents fair and right and will
make this race on my own merits,
and beyond doubt reap my reward
on March 10Th by receiving the
democratic nomination for tax as.

Costly ContIagration.

The court house had an escape
from destruction Tuesday night
About | o'clock Tuesday morning

a box on the floor near the stove.
There was no sign Of fire about
the box during the remainder Of
the day and when Clerk Boyee and
Sheriff Kirtley locked the office at
eight o'clock at night no fire was
noticeable, But when the clerk
opened the door Wednesday morn.
Ing he was surprised to find the
floor about ready to blaze During
the night the bottom of the ash box
had burned out and caught the
floor, which had smouldered slow.
ly because Of the fact that the room
Is alright A eood.eized hole in

Owing to the fact that a very
