You will nearly die a-laughing
at a story which is every Sunday
in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch
about Professor Otto and his au
tomobile. It is told entirely in
colored pictures.
Quorum Court.
On last Monday, the Quorum
Court met with the Hon. T. E.
Stanley presiding. They went
through the regular routine of
business and as some members
consider it part of the program
to get drunk, that part was also
attended to. The following ap
propriations were made:
Circuit Court expenses $3,500.
County Court ,, $15(00.
House of correction ,. $600.
They levied for general pupos
es a five mills tax, for second and
third class bridges a three mills
tax.
For the ben efit of Bro.jCogbill
und the Free Press, will say that
I based my assertion in regard
to the subscription list on good
authority and was honest and
conscien tious in my statement.

nees, I have investigated the mat
ter and found the Free Press
leads in the subscription list, but
the News is nearly up. I never
intended to be placed in a ficti
tious light and as an honest con
fession is good for the soul, I
acknowledge my mistake. But
look out Bro. Cogbill, I am after
the circulation and will promise
you now that no matter what
happens: no matter what kind of
a cinch any proposition may be, I
will uever wager. I love the
traditions and institutions of my
state too well; have ahetter and a
higher regard tor the law’s of my
land and eherrish the lessons my
dear mother and father taught
• me in my childhood days far too
i well to turn my back on mother,
! home and heaven and become a
criminal. You may make a mark
that you have found one editor
that does not wager.
The newspaper that is con
tinually citing its readers to
some existing evil; some short
coming or needed improvement;
in fact howling for a general re
form, has not always the people’s
interest at heart but puts on this
face merely to get within their
graces and have the stamp of
public approval stamped upon
the course it is pursuing. While
we had rather be lined up on this
side than on the other, we can
assure our readers that it has
not been a selfish motive that has
prompted us to suggest several
needed improvements. The Free
Press is a friend of Augusta be
cause Augusta is its home and
and because Augusta supports
it.—Free Pi’ess.
We believe the Free Press is
hinting at the News.
"While we had rather be lined
upon this side than on the other.
The Free Press is a friend of Au
trnsta because Aunusta is its
home and because Augusta sup- ,
ports it. ” Tnat is the platform
of the Free Press in its own un
mistakable terms.
Now, we will name the plat
form of the Woodruff co. News. (
(not McCrory News.) “We had ,
rather be lined up Jwith the peo- ,
pie than with any ring or clique. (
The News is a friend of the peo
ple of Woodruff counfy, ibecause
Woodruff county is its home and
because its main support comes
from the people of Woodruff co.
Whenever the people’s interests
are at stake, we are ready to sac
refice our time and space in their
behalf. Let the chips fall where
they may. I shall never surren
der my individualitj’ and my
manhood for the sake of any ,
man’s or any place’s friendship. (
Offers were numerous during
the last campaign, but I shrunk ,
not from the course of my duty (
as I saw it. I told the people the
i
trutns regardless oi any person ,
or place. The result was my
own town gave another man the
majority. But I was true to my
convictions and I would rather
have the approval of my con
science than the support of those
that endeavor to chain liberty to
the stake and padlock every ave
nue of freedom. I believe in re
moving the shackles of ignorance
ana slavery and permitting free,
unhampered, american, manhood
stand forth in its august strength
and rugged beauty.
The intention, on the part of
the News, has been to discuss
subjects of interest to the public
but as this discussion has drift
ed out into the sea of personali
ties and as we do not wish to
burden our loyal readers with
personal affairs, we shall stop

IN MEMORIAH.
The uncertainties of life have
)nce more been made apparent.
One by one we are summoned to
iternity. On Monday afternoon,
Oct. 6th, 1902, our much beloved
aid highly respected fellow
iownsinan, W. E. Wilder, was
jailed hence at the age of 26 yrs.
5 months and 1 day. This sad
2vent took place, after an illness
)f about a month, durine which
;ime, be so far regained his
wealth as to undertake the tire
some trip to Heber and there re
nain until he was restored to his
former strength. But Providence
;ad ordered otherwise and in
itead of strength, death raised
;he curtain for another world.
The lifeless remains were
wrought borne, accompanied by
oved ones, for the saddest hour
>n earth. The hour spe nt at the
>pen grave, the door-way to eter
lity. This, the saddest moment
>n earth, when the allurements
>f earth have lost their charms,
ind yet at no other place are we
jo near the throne eternal. There
standing at the tomb, with the
lifeless dost of a friend before us,
we can almost hear the rustle of
angel wings. Life is a mystery,
today, we are; tomorrow, we are
dreamless dust, Tis but a short
spand from the cradle to the
grave.
The services were conducted
by Rev. P. E. Taylor in the pre
sence of a large concourse of
friends. His sermon and prayer
were the most appropriate we
have ever heard.
Mr. Wilder was one of the
most influential young men of
this community. There never
was a more liberal hearted boy

legion. To know him was to
love him.
The News, together with a host
of innumerable friends, extends
its siucerest sympathy to the
broken.hearted ones. Words are
but cold symbols and are made
quet to express a tithe of the
emotions lingering in our breast.
Behind and beyond the dark
clouds of sorrow, grief and death,
sits the Prince of peace, the so
lace and comfort ol the world and
the hope of paradise. In Him, we
can find rest. For he says,
“Come unto Me all ye that labor
and are heavy laden and I will
give you rest.”
