Ass't. Gen'l. Supt. Moore, "as a dc- ]

William D. Upshaw.
Sitting in his chair or leaning upon '
his crutches, and pouring forth a wonderful
stream of captivating wit, withering
sarcasm and cyclonic eloquence
and logic, he kept old timers thinking
of Alexander H. Stephens. Like
Stephens. Upshaw is a cripple, and
like "Little. Alee," the Confederate
Vice President, he is a superb orator.
Many who heard Champ Clark here
last week declare that Upshaw is the
better speaker.?Ocala (Fla.) Evenine

had so completely captured tho

Before the Mississippi Legislature.
The State Capitol was packed last
night, floor and galleries, with one
of the most brilliant audiences of lawmakers
and patriotic citizens to hear
the death, knell of the liquor traffic
in Mississippi. There were strong
speeches by a governor, a college
president and a great lawyer who is a
candidate for United States 3enate,
but the speech of the occasion, everybody
agrees, was delivered by Will D.
Upshaw, the Georgia "Orator-onCrutches,"
who was introduced as "the
Alexander Stephens of the Prohibition
movement." It was a wonderful combination
of wit, logic and heart-moving
eloquence. The effect on the great
audience was magical.?Jackson

"In a Class to Himself."
When Will D. Upshaw takes a notion
he can come nearer knocking me
jff the Christmas tree with big chunks
i>f fun or making me cry my eyes out
than most anybody I know, and when
it comes to a campaign speech tor
prohibition?well, there's nobody else
like him. I have heard John G. Woolley,
Clinton Howard, George Stuart
and all that bunch of national leaders,
but for a man to sweep an opera
house packed to the dome or put an
acre of people on the town common
in his vest pocket, dig up theii follies,
break their hearts and make them vote
right, Upshaw stands alone. I positively
don't know his equal for this
sort of thing in all this country ?
Caleb A. Ridley, evangelist and author,

Captures Lawmakers.
I heard William I). Upshaw hi the
greatest hour I ever saw before a
band of law-makers. The Mississippi
legislature was in session and the dry
clans had come from all over the
State to ask for State-wide freedom
from the liquor traffic. The beautiful
new capitol was packed. Governor
Noel presided. Several short speeches
had been made covering different
phases of the question. Governor
Vardaman had been detained. Bishop |
Galloway Mffes announced too aiek to
speak. The crowd began to call loudiy
for Upshnw, who had made a stirring
speech at the afternoon rally at the
courthouse. In five minutes the great
crowd was in the magnetic grasp of
the little Georgia orator. Sometimes
sitting in the speaker's chair, sometimes
leaning on his crutches, then
in his marvelous peroration throwing
one crutch away, he balanced himself
on the other and swept that great
crowd into such enthusiasm as I have
seldom, if ever, seen. Fit and wisdom,
passion and pathos?that appeal
for a saloonless vote in the legislature
cannot be described. Captain W.
T. RatlitTe, the venerable president of
the trustees of Mississippi College,
said: "Mississippi can never pay the
debt of gratitude she owes to Will
1). Unshaw fur til fit cnnni'h II!-. ?
, ? .,rv^v... ?|'peal
for 'not a liquor vote blighting
your name through all the archives
af Mississippi history,' so completely
crystallized the sentiment not to have
a liquor vote, that the House voted
110 dry and not a single wet. Mississippi
is Upshaw's debtor forevermore."
I have heard Rlaine and Ingersoll,
Reecher and Rryan, but for natural
eloquence and electrifying power over
an audience I never heard the equal
af that impromptu speech by William
David Upshaw before the Mississippi
legislature.?Rollin C. Wooster, Rist.

THE TRUTH
To the Citizens of Union:
I dislike at all times to appear in
public print, and especially in a controversy.
The article appearing on
the front page of The Union Times,
of Feb. 9th, under heading, "Questions
of Bond Issue," is the occasion
of this article. The article in question
is both malicious and false, and
intended to be misleading, and to place
me in the light of being considered
either a knave or a fool. The article
referred to was submitted by the writer
to Messrs. Mayor Wharton and
City Clerk W. D. Arthur, and they
both advised against its being published
on the ground that it was illadvised
and uncalled for. For that
reason, the article is malicious, and
it is fal^e, because it is false. The
statement that the City of Union was
in debt $75,000.00 or $80,000.00 before
the present administration came int'
office, is untrue. That the City of
Union was in debt, and has been i'
debt for many years, goes without saying,
and do you know what is responsible
for that situation and condition?
It is the fact that the City of Union
has electric lights and water works. ,
The City of Union has paid out by
way of interest of bonds, for both
electric lights and water works, and
for use of same, and interest on same,
and in aid of same, over and above the
proceeds of bonds issued for and in
behalf of water works and electric
lights, a sum in excess of the present
indebtedness of the City of Union.
The truth of the entire situation is '
this, namely: About a week or 10
days before the meeting of the legis- |
lature, Mayor Wharton and City Clerk
Arthur came to see me in my office,
and stated that the debt situation of
the City of Union was most serious, ]
,and wished to know if a hill could not J
he put through the legislature where--i
by relief could he obtained. I asked ^
the gentlemen what was the total in- i
debtedness of the city, and they said.''
after collecting some taxes in Mayi
find annlvinir onmn ! ""? ?i. 1 -
V.jmmi uii'ii ureseqi i
debts, as they had been doing for"]
years, the city would be owing about
Sj.\>0,000.00. I then asked what the com? .
missioners of public works owed; fchjy.
said they did not know. I said. "WeHjj
you should know, and you should as?
certain at once." ' oey replied thtfH
they would do so. 1 then told Messrs?
Wharton and Arthirf"nty aiWli'utViwrt^
he to see the commissioners of public
works without delay, and have them
sign a joint request to the Union legislative
delegation, looking to getting
relief by legislative action along lines
of issuing bonds to an amount sufficient
to retire the entire indebtedness
of the City of Union, including
the indebtedness of the electric light
and water works plants, which later
is a debt of the City of Union, oven if
it required a bond issue of $100,000.00,
and then, when they collected taxes
in May, they would have that money
instead of placing it upon debts, a-'
heretofore, to operate the City of Un >
ion for the next ensuing year, upon
an absolutely cash basis. T told
Messrs. Wharton and Arthur that now
was the psychological time to place a
bond issue, for money was cheap, and
I had no- doubt but what the honds
could be handled on a 1 per cent basis,
which would mean an annual saving of
i m t/? < h" ? /l-. l- 1 1
.I.v-I (.ou UN mi- Illy s llO.lUllg UKIPOIedness
of between $:{,000.000 and $1.000.00,
compared with what was now
being paid. Messrs. Wharton and
Arthur said they thought my suggestion
was right and proper, and they
would at once see all parties officially
interested, and would see me again in
ample time to take what legislative
action might he necessary.
While Mr. Wharton was in Columbia,
during the time the election o!'
superintendent for the penitentiary
was pending, I asked him what was
bein'g done in the matter of the hon<'
situation at Union, and he told me
Mr. Arthur, city clerk, was absent in
Florida, and upon his return, the matter
would be taken up.
I came up from Columbiba on the
morning train of January 2<>th or 27th,
during a recess of the legislature, and
upon getting off train at Southern
depot, saw Alderman Schoppaul and
City Clerk Arthur, and they told me
that the council of the City of Union
was coming to Columbia on the following
Tuesday or Wednesday to see
about the bond matter, and Mr. Arthur
showed me a written request from thf
City Council for the Union county delegation
in the legislature to arrange
a bond issue, which request. Mr.
Arthur said, would he signed by proper
parties. I told Messrs. Arthur and
Schoppaul whatever the city authorities
wished carried out, I was sire
the legislative delegation would look
after, and that I would expect all parties
to be in Columbia during the
coming week. ?The
next thing 1 knew in the bond
matter was the appearance in Columbia
of the entire city council of Union,
except Mr. Lybrand, whom I was told
was detained at hame on account of
one of his children heinr sick with
diphtheria. Mr. R. I*. Morgan came
to Columbia with the city council to
endeavor, in any way he might be able,
to aid them.

however, that he believed the
