They will believe anything that the shrewd politicians tell them by their gum shoe methods, and good men who enter the political Held have to be subjected to nil kinds of 116s and questionable methods adopted by these profesional politicians* both state and county, who have not the welfare of the county and state at heart; hut who enre only for their udiish Interests, even if it is furthered * 1>y the downfall of another, be he friend or* foe.

Kditor: Will 'you give nic a little- epace^ in your valuable paper to UiH.v u- tVw words in regard* to an ar ticle which liiini! out in your last I week's issue from what is known as the old County Hoard. Now, Mr. Edi tor, as one of the delegation referred ? to in their article I feel it my duty to answer home of their criticisms and in attempting to do so I ta'ant to sub- j in it to them a few questions for their j consideration as 1 go along. Now, Mr. Board, What considera- ! lion did the delegation thrtt legisla- j ted you in office give the supervisor! end hi1-* board? Did not. your act j that created the office that you are j now trying to hold on to (with a death 1 SP'ip it seems) take every bit of au thority from the supervisor and his i hoard# And how many of the super-' visor's board got a commission on j your board? And now you say you an?[ Democratu, always yielding to the; majority. if that is' your position,; w Iry cluj you not give up sour oifU-u j on the 1 "it'll of St ptember, 1022 Th" j majority of the voters of Kersha.v ? t" unty spoke on the 12th of Septem- j bt .. .1022, ;ind said that they did not i iChiii the services of your board. And ! oin- nth?*r thing I wish to say to you, Mr. i!??.-tid. and that is this: That the' delegation thai wen! to Columbia ilii> year and legislated you out of ofbi >? did not go then- w ith that intcn- ; tiwn up their coat sleeves like the del egation that legislated you in office did And now, Mr. Hoard. 1 want to ;i4 you one other question: Do you think it would be w isdom for the con* : s'itutioii ? ? t tin state to allow a dele gation to go *o tin- legislature, ? rente ,i tit w offn e, appoint one of tht it de! riMt! j:i I'm i\ yi a;^ and hi be u>ni n;..?>;? ,?,. ?{ b> the jfovcrtior and at. i r. >ct sc ,ien of tiii legishitui* the .!?

I v\uuld tike to sa \ to the board that \ ou inu-" nut have seen mi-' oi the nev, i ount\ government act.- oi > ou list want to mislead the' people- -one or t h ? ? other. Read the act again and see if it does not put the directors and toad superintendent in the hands of tne people at the next, regular primary and that is jjust rt-s noon u.* we couJd legally do r*o on ac count of the condition of the registra tion books, ami you, Mr. Board, hap- , pen to know of the condition of the j-eg juration books just a> well ' know that no legal rleo- i tfron be held with the reg istration book* a* they are, juvJ certainly if \our board. hftl "HT'WfV Tit** T<nn { know t lmt no legal election could be hfid with the registration. book** an they are, and certainly If your bofcrd would submif to a legal act ttf law, pitted by both hbut^i's without a dis renting vote, then certainly you wpuld not have submitted to art illegal ejection. Now, you ?*y thi*t the act* of the delegation was a direct alap at the personnel*of y,pur board (not that at all) it is just the good book repeat ing itself. ' f . The measures that you mete out, shall be measured to you again. In other words, the medlcino that you made and gave to our citizens is now being given back t6 you In jUst small quantities. 80 sure your sins will And you yut. Now in conclusion, I want-la ?uy to the gentlemen wwho Compose the old board, that personally, I haven't aught against a man on the board, but politically I have a position that 1 am going to try to defend and jyxt will always find me standing by my political gunti, ready to shoot at any old time. Very respect fully, J. B.. MUNN. , FROM MR. FUNDKRBVRK. Editor Chronicle; Why Were the County Board of Di rectors Appointed Instead - of Being Elected? When the executive committee met, after the second primary, and declar ed the present delegation elected in the primary, the question came up us to the condition of the registration books, and it was decided that a legal election could not be held with the condition that they were in. Hon. M, M. Johnson, then a member of the House and chairman of the county convention stated that "if the newly elected delegation would agree on two men to serve on the board of 'reg istration who would agree to take hold of the books and try to get them | straightened out that they would recommend their appointment to /the Governor." We got' Messrs. D. I. Yarbrough and R. B. Williams to agree to serve for that purpose and recommended them to Mr. Johnson, but the old delegation never appoint- j hd them, and the books are still 'in th.? same condition and the present del egation is not responsible for it. The only safe way to got the books ii\ le gal shape is to have a re-registration of the entire county, which will take (i long time and the cost and delay of an election would have proven unsat isfactory. The appointments w?ro, made not becnuse I wanted to do it for my sake but for the best interests of the county. To have held an. elec tion under conditions as above stated the old board would have had it annul led and held office right on. The to?t has been put t^nd they have shown their colors. They have refused to abide by a legal act. Then of course they would not abide by an illegal election, The board and thoir sup porters have intended to defeat our plans and hold the office on. They planned to defeat our measure in 'the House of Representatives. That plan did not uork. They asked for a AW!" ing before the Governor before , he signed the Act, and that did not work. After the Act was signed I have. been told of one more eflfott which I will not mention. And now they are goin^ to the court of last resort. The iMroc tois will be elected in the next regu lar primary and general flection, and they were appointed to serve until then in order t|? save the county ex pense and untold trouble. As it were, the money has been counted out to fight Uo with, no matter which course we pursued. Fellow citizens, I will never resign TO THE HOUSEWIVES OF CAMDEN l/i a tow days you will receive a green, coupon, which reads: "Take this coupon to your grocer, buy one ca"ke o-f ( )cla gon \V h i I e Float i ng Soap, and get.

If my op ponents want to answer this article rail a mass meeting and in p friendly way "we Vill fact' the people on all charges brought against us. Let's face ihe people face to face and cut out newspaper articles. I did not in^ tend to write any article now as the suit' was pending," but the article in last week 'si. Chronicle has forced mo to write this one. ? Yours truly, lu O. Funderburk. Squire William Paul of Clinton, Mo., has just celebrated ,4iiH 103rd birthday. During his - 62 years in of fice tin a squire, he has performed 00 marriage ceremonies, and out of the lot there,, has never been a divorce. District Attorney Glennon t>f New York, has given ofct a statement to the effect that Mrs. Anna Buzz! hM admitted to her brother-in-law, WilJ i True, that she was the slayer of Fred erick Scheider, millionaire New York contractor, several weeks ago, with ! whom she lived as his wife for several | years. Y 1 | How a half-breed Cherokee Indian, Charner Tidwell, languished from his youth for a quarter of a century in federal prison, before being released on a baseless murder chargu, was re vealed in a tragical story Wednesday by the department of justice. Free from the chargo by a death-bed con fession after his years of suffering the former prisoner is now enjoying the wealth of inherited Oklahoma oil lands. Three presidents'-? Roosevelt, Tai't and Wilson? denied pardons to Tidwell upon reports from former At torney Generals Knox, Wickersham, ami Gregory that all evidence in the murder ease pointed positively, al though circumstantially, to his .guilt. Friends' of the prisoner including Sen ator Owen, former Senator Gore and former Representative Alice Robert son, pressed the investigation ot Tid well's continued protestations of inno cence. Finally he was released from Atlanta penitentiary upon a commu tation of , sentence recommended by Attorney General Daughcrty and As sistant General Crim, in charge of criminal investigations. After Presi dent Harding's commutation a wo man's deathbed confession in Okla homa revealed that Tidwell had been convicted of murdering her husband upon perjured testimony. "The Lord has bet n wanting me to tell it all these years and I am afraUl?He won't forgive me for not telling it," reads affidavit of Mrs. James Brown, as the dying wife t?i the man for whom al !
