PREACHING CAMPAIt N

Court Decision In Penitentiary, Be-

The Augusta Chronicle says:

The Augusta Chronicle says:
"Thomas Marksberry, who was COM
mitted to the Frankfort penitentiary
on July s, on a life sentence for the
murder of Jesse Glenn, according to
reliable information obtained by the
Chronicle, preached his first sermon
at the prison shortly after his COM
mitment. His subject was, How Easy
1t Is For Person to Commit Murder
and Lay it on Someone Else The
large crowds in attendance at the
Marksberry trial at Brooksville three
months ago thought Tom labored hare
and long to hang this crime or
'Shafer' and 'Hogens,' but he failed
to convince the jury of their existence
let alone their guilt. But the prisoner
evidently has some hopes of being re
leased as he sent his wife list of life
prisoners pardoned by Governor Nor
row who averaged only about eigh
years in prison.
"The Chronicle also learns that Mrs
Marksberry is now at the home of hel
father, W. T. Showalter, near Felic
ity, Ohio, and that she has placed hel
three oldest children in a Cincinnati
orphans home, having the youngest, ;
daubhter, born since the arrest of he

Scandal in G. o. P. Ranks.

For many months Republican lead
ers in Congress have vainly sought to
unearth some sort of graft or scandal
in connection with the Administra-
tion's conduct of the war. But the
shoe is now ION the other foot.
Attention has been diverted from
these efforts of the Republican"smell-
ing committees" by the disclosure
that immense slush funds have been
raised to further the personal ambi-
tions of Republican presidential aspi-
rants.
Hard on New York's papers ex-
pose of million dollar fund having
been 'sunderwritten" to further Gen.
eral Woods candidacy, came Senator
Borah's introduction in the Senate
of bill to limit e-convention cam
paign expenditures and his denun-
citation of the Wood managers meth.
DDS, together with the intimation that
the Lowden managers were probably
spending even greater sum.
Disclosures that selfish interests
are out to buy the nomination fol
their candidate, and then control tht
election in the same manner, coming
on top of the conviction of Senator
Newberry in Michigan, have aroused
the public conscience and erased thu
smile from the features of the g. 0
| P. leaders.

warm spot in our hearts for old Mis-
souri,. But this city is growing rapid
ly and is great place for work and
good wages. Wages are from 55c to
$1.25 per hour and great shortage
of laborers, thousands of men and
women wanted, although at this time
there are $4,000 men out of employ
ment in Detroit, owing to the Rail-

But it is hoped that the strike will
not last long. The great trouble with

Brewster Can Win.
Piedmont Journal Banner
All Light Car Road
Records Smashed

The candidacy of ArthurT. Brewster
for the Democratic nomination for
Congress is being received with en-
thusiasm bv the Democracy of Wayne
county as it is all over the district.
Mr.. Brewster has the distinction of
having run ahead of his ticket in
Wayne county last election and it is
no far guess to anticipate the same
thing again this year should he get
the nomination and that does not seem
at all improbable. Circumstances at
this rather point to his nomination
without opposition. 1t would be wise
to save all our power for the enemy
this year. Brewster the man and
Brewster the statesman has grown
upon the people of this district since
the last campaign and his erstwhile
and successful opponent, Mr.. Rhodes,
has shown by his record in the pres
ent Congress that while he may re-
present small faction of his party
he, however, in no manner represents
either a majority of his party nor a
very formidable minority of the people
of the Thirteenth.
1t is positive certain that this dis
trict will be represented by Democra
in the next Congress'if Brewster car
have the nomination withouta suicida
party struggle and it seems that b.
