Rev. Cats was as silent as the
tomb. Continuing, Mr.. Knott stated
that he has treated all of his oppon-
ents with all possible courtesy but
that Mr.. Cats had gone up and down
the state calling him robber and a
thief, and he was sick and tired of it.
Referring to the matter of Hayes
Lewis having ordered him out of his
Office and of his (Knott) breaking
down and crying, which Mr.. Knott
said Rev. Cats had circulated, "Any
man who told Mr.. Cats such thing,
or who spread such statement tells
lie."
The sensation of the day was sprung
when Mr.. Knott stated that the Cats
ties sent men disguised, made up to
look like Catholic priests into shops
and factories to ask the people to
support Mr.. Knott for governor, so
they would get the impression the
Catholic clergy was in politics in his
behalf.

TRYING TO BREAK UP
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY

The Star was not at all surprised at
the tactics of Sidney j. Cats, selfish
and incendiary politician from Ala
bama, in trying to disrupt the demo-
cratic party, and forming alliances
with South-haters, republicans and So
cialists in his thirst for Office, but it
hardly expected to find Southern
born men and lifelong democrats
turning against their best friends,
and getting ready to deliver this coun-
ty, which was redeemed from repub-
icanism thirty years ago by the most
strenuous efforts, to the same element
that controlled it in carpetbag days.
Yet this is the fact.
The guardians of liberty have form
ed an alliance with the republicans,
and by the use of negroes, large num-
bers of whom, thanks to the county
divisionists and the whisky sellers,
have registered, are trying with some
prospects of success, to defeat two
well tried and duly nominated demo-
Gratis, Alfred Aver, tax assessor, and
F. H. Nugent, clerk, and elect in their
place f. j. Huber and Geo. w. Neville,
nominees on the republican ticket.
The word has also been passed to
scratch F. E. Harris, democratic
nominee for presidential elector, and
instead vote for one of the republican
electors, in pursuance of the bargain
that has been made between Cats
and Allen, by which republicans are to
help Cats for the governorship, and
receive in return votes for republican
electors.
Now what do you democrats, who
have been firm in your allegiance to a
white mans government, think about
that?
Messrs. Huber and Neville are good
men, and are within their rights in
making such political alliances. But
any man who voted in last June's
primary, with its solemn obligation to
support the nominees, deliberately
perjures himself when he enters into
any such an agreement

against the board of health and
against God, and his. neighbors talk
about governmental paternalism and
personal liberty.
There was a strange disease in old
Egypt, a wrinkling of the skin so as
to resemble that of an elephant. Was
it pellagra? Livy said Egypt pecul-
lar hoe nahum elephantiasis," the
peculiar malady of Egypt is elephant
iasis. So when the Hebrews came
down to sojourn Joseph sent them off
to themselves in the land of Goshen.
The Hebrew would not drink milk
if a Samaritan had MIXED the cow,
yet the Samaritans had no public
drinking cup at Jacobs well when
Jesus sat there thirsty at noon. Those
were .Samaritans two thousand years
ago and here we are just beginning
the fight on the roller tower and the
