'UPSHAW'S REPLY
TO OPEN LETTER

ATLANTA, Ca, March 15.-William
=. Uphaw has replied to the open let
tel of Franc Mangum, asking him why
lie and Emmett Shaw and John r..
Cooper fail to retire from the contest
| for United States senator in the face
of certain defeat, and thus assert their
loyalty by supporting William j.
Harris, who it is known, has the
active and sympathetic support of
President Wilson and loyal citizens
throughout Georgia. Mr.. Mangum is
editor of the Americas Times Re-
corder, and his letter to the three
candidates was recently published in
his paper, and sent to the Georgia
newspapers for publication.
Upshaw starts out by saying he does
not know why he failed to receive a
copy of the open etter, but suggests
that perhaps it was lost in transmits
sion, and then goes on to explain GER
tain propositions he claims to have
/ made to Mr.. Harris, these propositions
being connected in no way with the
Mangum letter, and giving no reason
for an apparent absence of patriotism
actuating him in the determination to
remain in the race.
Getting personal in his epistle, which
is lengthy one containing much mat
! ter not pertinent to the controversy,
| Upshaw says: Il do not blame you,
Mr. Mangum, for giving Mr.. Harris
your enthusiastic support, for | am
reliably informed that he secured for

/ to have a list of his lieutenants in
| this campaign who are working as
s;duously in his behalf because of
the soft mahogany desk jobs he has
secured for an a rmy of swivel chair
srenadiers."
Upshaw then agrees with Mangum
/ that the defeat of the junior senator

gia's good name, is the paramount is
Sue. but makes 40 effort to show he

HONOR ROLL.

Nobody expects a newspaper
to sell for the same price it did
five years ago any more than
they expect to get a sack Of flour,
a pound of bacon, or pair of
shoes at the old price. From the
following list it will be seen that
people think the News worth a
dollar and a half and they pay it
without a kick, the same they
pay for other things that have
advanced. The truth is. that

publisher gets for the NEWS now,
does not buy as much eats" as
a dollar did five years ago.

Almost Eighty.eight.

Our old friend Samuel Bender

this winter, but the bright sum
shine last Saturday tempted him
down town and he stopped at the

service in the Civil War, and

of course, not strong enough to

The Cuban Spy.

For two-and-one-half hours,
last Friday night, the Boy Scouts
Of McConnellsburg, assisted by
several young ladies, entertained
a full house" in the Auditorium.
The opening act was a sur
prise, indeed, to our citizens.
When the curtain was raised, we
saw for the first time our Boy
Scout Band, "aged three
months" Many in the audience
did not know that we had this
infant" in our midst, but before
the boys played ten bars all were
sure it was not a dream. Under
the instruction of Prof. c. R.
Shore, the Scouts, in the short
space of three months, were able
to appear and play real music be-
fore an audience.
The appearance of the band
was the greatest local hit" of
the season, and it went straight
to the heart of the audience. We
hardly need say that we are
proud of them. Mr.. Shore will
no longer be able to lead the band,
but we trust other arrangement
may be made for drill and in.
struction.
The play Cuban Spy" was
then given, and for two hours the
stage was whirl of fun and
frolic of the most pleasing kind,
and the end seemed to come all
too soon. The attention and re-
spect shown was the logical ex'
preston of appreciation by the
public, and the boys need moi
hesitate to ask for future sup
port.

Fresh TROUBLE FOR COON.
Ex.McConnelISburg and Fort LOudOn
Railroad Contractor Behind the
Bars in New York.

Tuesdays daily papers say that
Clyde E. Coon, who gave his
residence as Norfolk, Va, was
taken into custody in New York
City, on Monday as a fugitive
from justice on telegraphic ad-
vices from Kansas City, Mo.
Coon said his family was in Cleve-
land, O.
According to the telegram, the
charge against Coon is aiding
in misapplying funds" of the
Lemasters National Bank, Lem
asters, Pa. The police said he
had been at liberty under bond
Of $25, 900 pending his trial in
Scranton, next week, but that
his bondsman, who lives in Kan
sas City, desired to surrender
him.
Coon said he was promoter and
had a $500, 600 contract for rail-
road work between Norfolk,
Washington and Yorktown and
was trying to raise funds to fl
nance his contract.
Of course, the names of Post,
Shearer and Coon will long be
remembered by certain citizens
of McConnellsburg and Fort Lou
don, and the connection those
gentlemen had with the promt
ton and construction of our"
railroad; and there are among us
those who are unchristian enough
to feel that they are now getting
what is coming to them.
