ponents have said that Barbour
vile citizens ignores his candi-
dacy. At this time we want to
say that from reports he will be
our next clerk. Such reports as
his candidacy being ignored is an
absolute falsehood, Barbourville
citizens are behind him in this
race and say they intend to see
him win. When such reports as
the above reach your ears you
can say to the one who tells it
that there is not a word of truth
in it.
He is second OIL the ballot and
asks every voter in Knox county
to find his name and stamp in the
square opposite his name, you
will make no mistake when you

The election for county officers
is fast drawing to a close and we
are glad to inform the voters of
Knox county that it is looking
favorable that Ben H. Gregory
the peoples choice and second
man on the ballot will be our
next County Court Clerk.
1t will be remembered that he
said in his announcement that he
was in the race to the finish and
that he was going to win. Mr..
Gregory is one of Knox county's
best citizens. and we can truth
fully say that his nomination is
almost assured. Many things
have been thrown in his way to
try to defeat him by saying that
he was off the track, while on
the other hand his pictures have

To WHOM IT MAY CONCERN

persons are claiming that Frank
Mitchell, the Jailer of Knox
county, was in some way re-
sponsible for the question, as to
the validity of the jury called to
try the case of Laws Admins
traitor against Carter Coal Com
pany, and for the jury being dis
charged in that case. AS the
Attorney who raised the ques-
ton on the trial, ! am in posi-
ton to know that Mr.. Mitchell
had absolutely nothing to do with
this, and was not responsible, in
any way, and knew nothing
about it before the matter was
presented to the Court in open

who was entirely responsible for
that question being brought up

To THE VOTERS OF KNOX Co..
There are only two more weeks
until you shall have settled the
question as to whom you will have
as your nominee for the Repub-
lican candidate for Jailer of Knox
county. In this short space
of time you will find some
of my opponents like drowning
men grasping at straws) resort
ing to any and all things to
bring about my defeat. They
will tell you anything and try
to prove it. The slimmest thing
that has yet been started is that
| had something to do with the
discharging of the jurors at the
January term, 1917, of the
Knox Circuit, Court, and that
had something to do with the
emptying of the jury wheel and
removal of the Jury Commits
sioners. This is absolutely un-
true, | did not do or say, any,
thing about it, and knew nothing
of it untilit was done. To prove
to you that did not know any,
thing about it, and to show you
that it was none of my business,
| present herewith the afidavits
of two men who am sure that
you would not doubt in the least.
Read these affidavits, and then
say whether or not | am being
wrongfully accused.

that he as Judge of the Knox

term, 1917, sustained a challenge
to the panuel of Is jurors tend
cred the parties in an action
then pending therein, and at the
same time purged the jury wheel
and discharged the Jury Com
missioners heretofore selected.
for reasons set forth by order of
the Court duly entered of re-
cord; that no attack was then
made on any individual juror ex-
cept, as | now remember, it did
appear that one of the jurors
had been impeached; that |
then took occasion TO say that
the action of the Conrt was no
reflection whatever on any juror,
or any member of the venire for

such term; that Frank Mitchell,
who was then Jailer of Knox
county, never at any time made
any criticism of or attack upon
any of the jurors so discharged.
and this applies to all other offic-
ers of the Court as well; that
