Very Brief.

A record of brevity in holiday
correspondence was established by a
Frenchman in the eighteenth century
Noltaire and Piton, the epigrammatist,
exchanged challenges to write the
shortest possible letter So when Vol.
taire was starting on a journey he
wrote to Piton, "Eo rus" which is the
complete Latin for 81 am going to the
country" Piton's answer was just 81"
complete Latin for go"
In business correspondence the rec.
ord is divided between Victor Hugo,
who, anxious to know how his Les
MiSerableS" was going, wrote to the
publisher, "E' and the publisher, who

LTTORNEYS' APPEAL TO VOTERS

Ia the Democratic Voters:
A As a professional body, we would
III address you in regard to any po-
Hical office; but as the judiciary is
or at least should be
ept out of politics, and as we prac-
lee in the Supreme Court and have
4better chance to know the merits of
hose seeking to serve on the Supreme
burt bench, we feel that the laymen
/ our county will not only excuse this
Communication, but will welcome an
bnest expression from the bar in the
femiSes.
Judge Cockrell has been on the Su-
feme Court bench several years. He
! again before the people for re-elec-
bn, but will make no campaign as
Is. duties require his constant pre-
Ence at the capital, and furthermore,
! should not mix up in politics, as
Rch would tend to destroy his USE
Illness on the bench. The people
Mould take care of him without bring
kg the Judiciary into politics.
Nudge Cockrell is a judge of exper-
ence and ability. He is one Of the
|blest judges on the Supreme Court
knch-not only this, his heart is
aght. He is a Christian gentleman
y the highest type.
8He has sacrificed the remunerative
factice of his profession to serve the
eople at a salary scarcely sufficient
N the maintenance of himself and
8mily The last Legislature increas-
4the salary, He should be permitted
4 reap some benefit from the in
ease, Better still, the people need
3 services.
1--WE trust that the voters will not
4erlook their duty to Judge Cock
u in their zeal for other candidates.
HThe entire bar of Putnam county
&rtily endorses Judge Cockrell.

Mr.. Russell Makes Statement.

| am informed that Mr.. W. G.
Tilghman, my opponent in the race
forRepresentative in the Legislature,
is claiming that | have broken an
agreement made with him that there
would be no further mud-slinging,
and that he has letter which | wrote
to a party in this county, IN which
that agreement was broken.
Neither Mr.. Tilghman, nor any
other man, has letter written by me
in which there is any "mud-slinging,"
have written a number of letters
to people in which | have attempted
in calm way, to point out certain
facts in his legislative record. An
officials public, printed record, is
public property, and | and every 9TH
cr man have legitimate right to use
it. If pointing out these facts in Mr..
Tilghman's record is throwing mud,
then | am guilty and will continue to
be guilty as long as I find it protita-
BILE. I have written several of these
letters within the week, but in none
of them have | said anything detrl-
MENTAL to his character. | have said
in the written word only what have
said publicly in his presence on the
stump. If he will remember, it vii!
occur to him that the gubernatorial
candidates last Monday discussed rec
ords, and then sat down in all friend
illness to smoke ad joke. Bill don't
smoke and he's too blamed touchy to
joke. W. A. RUSSELL

performances are always crowded at
