GAS TO COOPER AND MANNING"

Greenwood Index.
The Index is going to say its say
about these two briefly once more.
The two men stand on practically
the same platform so far as plat
forms go.
To show how the two men stood in
the preferences of the people in this
county in the first primary two years
ago it is only necessary to state the
vote. Gov. Manning received the sum
total of seventy-nine votes. Mr.. Coop
er received fourteen hundred and six
ty-nine or approximately fifteen hun
dred. He almost carried the county
against the whole field. '... p
Gov. Manning will receive this year
more than the seventy-nine votes
which were given him two years ago,
but most of the votes given him will
be new onesr ~ Mr.. Cooper as hereto
fore retains much of that popularity
which was his two years ago.
Mr.. Cooper has excited no bitter
feeling anywhere. People believe be
will be fair and impartial in deeds as
we'll as in words. For that reason in
this part of the county they are 60
irg to vote for him Cor governor.
If now those great and good Jews
papers VIII. cb are laboring for the re-
elt tction of Gov. Manning will just
realize that there are some folks in
, the State who intend to vote for Mr..
Cooper and that it is entirely unnec-
cessary to use curry-comb on their
spines in the one instance and then
soueal about unfairness and all that
sort of thing in another, we think the
whole situation would be greatly i'm
proved. Lets stop misrepresentation
and buncombe. A vote is vote. and
the man who can get the most of
them is the man we must look to to
turn the trick.

A LETTER TO MR.. WHITE.
Mr.. Gordon White, City.


Dear Mr.. White.-I am going to
report you to Teddy Roosevelt for
selling me to a boy like DIR. Keller.
I asked you to sell me to an old man,
who would feed me on plenty Of
gasoline and oil, and let me stand
up in the shade and rest. But you
took advantage of me. Without my
consent found myself being driven
by a young man out for sport. Well,

in the day time, and waltz them at
night. I see everything and do ev-
erything which a car can do, and do
it all the time because my young
master is game sport and believes
in going the gaits.
But have been telling him he
would come to grief, and if he did
not quit squirting me I would run
away. Well, Friday morning he
hitched me up when I was not feel
ing well, and drove me down town.
I trotted around the public square

master said I, must 60 to the Jail, and

me, but spurred me on. Just then
we met some people in the wagon
and my master turned to ask them
how he looked and I said to myself
will get away now, and I made 9
dash to get under Burnett Eakin's
house, but my master jerked me and
I stumped a toe ON, the steps and

year for its support, he again voiced
his approval. Mr.. Wilson has very
