He did not escape criticism, and that to his lace, and such biting, withering criticism as should not come to an ancient of days. His is a varied history, a seven? ty-six Democrat, a greenbacker, a fence-rider, a Republican. One was Impressed that he served for the^ loaves and fishes, for while he holds no federal Job now. under a Republi? can administration he was postmaster in Anderson, and three of his children today hold good jobs. Next, was a little "feller," name not known or necessary, pkiylng secord fiddle for Blease.
