Even the Leger Times, as little regard as it has for the
truth on some occasions, conld not stand for the lies told by
the State Capital in reference to the vast throngs of people
that greeted McGuire in Greer County. We arc iudeed glad
to find that even he puts a limit to the lengths to which he
is willing to go. The Times man is bright aud able, but he
will find as he grows older that the greatest ability is nulli-
fied by dishonesty and disregard for truth.

Why doesn't Powers look up the members of the grand
jury which returned the indictment against him, for perjury,
and get an acknowledgement from them that they did him an
injustice? They are most all in the county to this day. The
Star can furnish the names of about half of them, and they
are all good substantial citizens, and a statement from them
in accordance with the above would be worth almost as much
to him in this campaign as the statement from Mr. Johnson
which he has had carried in the Sun-Monitor for the past
two months.
A A
While Powers, through sharp practice, had L. A. Johnson
in a position he could extract an acknowledgement from him
that he had wronged the said Powers in signing a certain
statement which was adopted at a certain indignation meet-
ing in the summer of 1901, he should have gone a step fur-
ther and got him to say that he was not a member of the
grand jury that found the indictment against the said Pow-
ers for perjury. Powers should have also secured his state-
ment that the grand jury made a mistake and did Mr. Pow-
ers a grievous wrong in indicting him. Right there was
where Powers overlooked a bet.

The Leger Times of last week reprints the letter from
W. B. Hardin in the Sun-Monitor, which this editor took up
categorically some weeks since and showed to be a tissue of
lies. Such methods shows the straits to which the Times
and his ilk are reduced in this campaign. If they had one
single truthful statement, no matter how unimportant it
might be, they would be only too glad to parade it and back
it up with chapter and verse, but so far have failed to find it.
If they could find one single act of the present administration
with which they oould find fault they would do so quickly,
but they cant do it so must resort to general charges of a
false character.

A. E. Campbell in discussing the board of equalization
and their work in last week's Sun-Monitor raises a strenuous
objection to a contribution from Greer County to the territo-
rial taxes, because of the raise made by such board. If Mr.
Campbell's premises were well taken he and the other mem-
bers of his party could make some good campaign material
out of that fact, but since the territorial board took its action
on the returns made by the assessor before the board of equal-
ization met, and since the raise is for county purposes merely,
he missed everything he shot at, as has been done everytime
by any one who has attempted to discuss the issues in a" logi-
cal manner. From this standpoint there is nothing to criti-
cise.

"They say the present democratic county officials who'
desire re-election, are purposely holding back the tax rolls
until after November election if possible, fearful of results "
—St. Joe, in Sun-Monitor.
The above is a fair sample of the campaign rot the oppo-
sition is reduced to the necessity of dishing out to its follow-
ers. St. Joe knows—or should know, that the law doesn't
require the tax roll to be completed until November 15th.
Since there are nearly fifteen thousand calculations to make
and enter on it it will probably take until then. Two years
ago when there were less than six thousand entries on it it
was December 1st before the populist clerk turned it over to
the treasurer. Did the opposition charge that it was held
back for campaign purposes?
A A
The Granite Enterprise prefers to hold on to what chance
it has for the Southwest Normal, which was established by
the last legislature, than to trust Bird McGuire's promise of
a hand out of another if they will give this up to Weatherford.
Trust McGuire for nothing- That school belongs to Granite
and Greer County, and by the eternal we propose to have our
own. When the question is passed up to the next legislature.
as it will be, Weatherford will stand about as mnch show of
winning it as a snowball would in hades Many members
of the next legislature will lino* that it tfa* originally •)
Greer County measure and aiUce the matter i* as it now;
aland* will promptly vote to locate it at Granite. McGuire
ha* no power in the matter one way or the other, and caa on-
ly make empty promise#.

Fond Mother — Now, look here,
George! I want you to break off with
that girl. She is very pretty afid all
tbat, but i know her too well to want
you to risk your life and happiness by
marrying her. Why, she knows no
more about housekeeping than I do
about Greek—not a bit.
George—Perhaps not. but she can
learn.
Mother—After marriage Is rather late
for that. George.
George—But you said yourself that
you did not know a thing about house-
keeping until after you were married.
Mother—Very true, George, and your
poor father died of dyspepsia twenty
years ago.
