MeRAE HAS EIGHT OPPONENTS

The following is an extract from the opening speech of Thos. C. MsRae, at Searcy May 20.
 There are other gentlemen seeking the office of governor. It is true that have been attacked by several of them already, and l am not foolish enough to suppose that they will cease to at- tack me until after the election on August 10. But am unable to see how I could aid the cause of good govern ment or common decency by matching methods with some of them. l believe most of what they are telling on each other, but if 1 permitted them to en gage me in the only kind of politics they are skilled in, l would be at a dis advantage. It is evident that they are of the familiar breed of modern pOliti- clans The people l talk with seem to think so. This country has grown used to all this. It is only by pulling away from the beaten path of profes- sional politics that we can bring relief to the people. l am honestly striving to point logical way out of the will derness of debt and misgovernment and feel that the life l have lived and the service I have rendered the people should stand as a testimonial to my Sincpritv of plrpOSp

 IS NOT A CANDIDATE
Nevada County Picayune:

Nevada County Picayune:
 I have about got my mind fixed in regard to the candidacy for representa- tive of this county, and will have to confess my absolute ignorance of what 1t takes to he candidate for this office. I was not aware of the fact that il was necessary to have as cam paign manager. one of the ablest law vers in the statk was also ignorant of the fact that Nevada county was one man politics and to run such men for office as best suits HIS ideas.
 Now, as to HIS candidate. Mr. Mum. l have not got a word to say. person ally I do not know the gentleman. l was acquainted with his father Bill Num- Il mighty good man, and think made Il good sheriff.
 The point l wish to understand is did his manager secure his consent to become d candidate against his will and what prompted his manager to send the name of Mir. Mum in every town ship in the county on June 26th. and have delegatSe elected for the purpose of meeting at the court house in Pres colt July 3rd for the purpose of endors- ing this one man for the office of repre- sentative? Now this is the point that am opposed to, and am not so d. ignorant as to not know that this is not Democratic.
 l will be willing to enter joint can vass and thrash out this matter before the people of Nevada county single handed. but I am not willing to do this with so many odds against me. There is one thing sure. l will not secure one of the ablest lawyers in the county to manage my race although l am quite sure that l would get every lawyers vote in the county except one. hut in doing so l would get their votes as Democrats. not as managers.
 Now, my friends. l have had lots of
 
 encouragement from business men both in town and in the country (because farmer is as much business man as merchant, in fact we are side by side when it comes to businessD to make this race for representative, for which I thank you promise you tha: some time in the future l will make this race. I will make 1t purely Democratic, and when elected to this office, l hope II will he Democratic and not dominat ted by one man. and should I ever be your representative. I shall certainly con duet myself in way that will meet your good will. l will not be dictated

CHRISTMAS SEASON.

Though Christmas seems to gain
rather than lose in popular favor as
the years roll by, yet It Is worthy of
note that the Christmas season has
been much curtailed from what 1t
originally was. For several CEN
turtles IL began with the eve of All
Saints day or "HaIlow eve," Octo-
Der 81, and continued until Candle
mas day, February 2. In England
1t Is now computed only from
Christmas eve to Twelfth might"
January 6, while in our own coun-
try It begins on Christmas eve and
practically ends on Christmas
night. Yet even now It really be-
gins on December 16. marked In
