From time immemorial what had

gled through the nucleus of what
finally became Groverdale. As houses
were built here and there along its
sinuous length, it assumed, or alb.

When the first small stores began
to find a location on a line with the
depot, the town commissioners cut a
broad line west, condemned curves
and windings and laid out a compass

pretty appelative they bestowed on
the new thoroughfare, but it was fully
appropriate as a contrast. 1t became

a spirited horse attached to a high

dash across the rubble stone and fill

steadily to the tense. strainlng reins,

large type on the first page OF
last Fridays paper a statement
that Hon. A. H. Longino had
pledged his support to Oscar
Johnston in the second primary
Elk Governor Longino promptly
and very emphatically replied in
the following clipped from the
columns of the News of Satur-
day, August 9th:
GOV. LONGING OBJECTS To NEWSPAPER
| HEADING.
| Editor Daily News: Your paper
Of yesterday carried in large type on
the first page a statement that l will
support Mr.. Oscar Johnston for gov
ernor in the second primary election.
| Permit me to say that no such state
ment has ever been given out by me
| or any one authorized to make it. and
since / crave the privilege of decid-
either or neither of the two candi-
dates. as my judgment and conscience
may approve when the time arrives.
l will thank you to do me the simple
Justice to give this statement the
same prominent place in your paper
that you gave the unauthorized state
ment aforesaid.
Yours truly.
A. H. LONGING.
The above denial made by
Gov. Longino shows conclu-
sively that Mr.. Longino did not
pledge his vote to Johnston in
the second primary, if indeed, af-
ter the very bitter campaign
waged against him by the Hon
orable Oscar himself, Mr.. Lon
gino, or Mr.. Longino's friends
could find it in their hearts to
vote for Johnston under any cir
cumstances. The denial, also
may be taken to mean that Mr..
LOnginO will vote for Lee M.
Russell in the second primary.
else why did he positively cor
rect in the public prints the false
statement which was made by the
Jackson News that he had pledged
himself to vote for Johnston.
Lee M. Russell made a clean,
manly campaign without person
allies, or mudslinging against
any of his opponents and 1t is
safe to predict that fully seventy
FIVE per cent or more of the Lon
einO and Collins vote will be |
cast for him in the second pTi-
mary. Lee NJ. Russell will be |
elected August 18th. by one of
the biggest majorities ever given

have passed the crisis, but Sunday
she began to grow worse and it was
soon seen that the end was near and
relatives here were notified of the
