We are sending out a
number of statements to subscribers
in arrears. There are
now on our books nearly 2,000
' subscribers, many of whom
have paid nothing in a year or
longer. We ask all these delinquents
to settle up as soon
as possible. Each account is
made out up to the nearest year
or half year. It may be that
some who get these statements
have already paid; if so just call
our attention to the fact and
we will cheerfully make the
correction. All we want is
what is due us and not a cent
more. But we do want that.

In Re Gilland vs. Stoll.
Editor County Record:?In
the beginning- I did not anticipate
a newspaper controversy
and I am greatly humiliated
when now I realize that I have
become so degraded as to be
associated by the press with a
dirty, low, pusillanimous, putrid
pimp. Heretofore I have
not used a single unclean expression
in this accusation;, but
in order to aualifv Philip H
* V * Stoll,
I must disgrace myself.
Knowing that he is guilty of the
charge that I have made against
bim and being unable to make out
a defense, he has evaded the issue
and in retaliation has resorted
to mean, underhand, crooked
motives by making an attack
upon my character occupying
almost an entire page of our
paper with an unauthentic, in.
consistent mass of falsities beginning
with mythology and
ending with dirty, vile, common
slang, the writing of which
would shame the dirtiest urcbin
of the slums.
His article of last week is
without the slightest tinge of
veracity and considering tbe
source, I have not time and cannot
become so degraded as to
take notice of these dirty, false
statements of a common yellow
i n _ s _
cur, unwortny 10 oe canea a
son-of-man. But in reply to a
few items, to say that I "ruthlessly
laughed when horses driven
by ladies became frightened/'
is a lie and I defy any man. to
say that I have not at all times
shown the highest respect for
ladies and when driving a car 1
have always to the best of my
ability rendered assistance to
every lady in distress with a
dangerous horse.
Fill-up H?Stoll now denouncing
alcoholic liquors attempted
to ride a whiskey ticket into
the Senate Hall and was igno
miniously rejected by the people
as a contemptible traitor,
too dirty to join a "dirty political
ring."
As far as the books are concerned,
I have in my possession
an affidavit signed by the as
sistant State auditor and properly
probated, stating that he
has twice examined the books
and found them in perfect con
dition, posted to date and from
the manner in which the books
are kept that he thinks that the
clerk thoroughly understands
the system, which he executes
with perfect satisfaction. To
publish the affidavit would require
too much space.
Believing that the public
knows that Philip H 8toll is
guilty of gross negligence in
the discharge of his official duty
and that he is as above stated,
I have nothing more to say: except
that if anything further
appears in the press by the

The Dispensary Robbed
Last Friday night the local
dispensary was broken Into and
robbed to the extent of $62-45 in
? -i_- oc\ _ r
wnisKey ana money, oniy vz 01
which however, was in cash.
The burglar or burglars entered
at the rear window, tearing
away the iron grating" and
breaking a pane of glass. No
one heard any disturbance and
the burglary was not discovered
until the morning after when
the doors were opened about
seven o'clock for business. The
cash drawers were fonnd in an
adjoining lot rifled of the small
amount they contained. Fortunately
all the cash received for
the day had been deposited save
what was taken in a few moments
before closing. Up to this
time we bear of no clue as to
the ideality of the darimg cracksmen.
Ibt Stttis tpbu.
TH??*nor'# iurv ha vine failed
to agree od a verdict in tbe case
of Alex Spirey and Dick 8pivey,
charged with the murder of 8am
Ferrell, warrants were sworn
out against the two and on Saturday
a preliminary hearing was
held before Magistrate Wallace.
According to the evidence ad|
duced Alex Spivey was released
and his brother, Dick Spirey,
committed to jail on tbe charge
of murder to await trial in tbe
sessions court.
Mr. 8pivey's attorneys, Messrs
Lee & Askins, will we understand
at once institute habeas
corpus proceedings to have tbe
defendant released on bond
1 pending his trial.
Since the above was put in
type we learn that bail has been
granted Spirey in the sum of
1 $ 1,500.
