Card from H. W. Nalley.
Editor Nkw Era:
I beg your indulgence just one
more time. It is simply to tell
the people of the county a little
more concerning the “unofficial*
11688” of one of their servants.
I am sure they want to know the
truth.
Without regard to the length
of time I have been iu your midst
it is enough for jou that 1 am a
citizen of this county. I have
cast my lot with the people of
this county, and “here I expect
to remain as a citizen. And be
cause of such I hold it to be my
pluin and unmolested duty and
privilege to call attention of any
number of my follow-citizens to
any blatant wrong that I see go
ing on, and the more especially
when it is committed by those
whom we, as a class, have select
ed to become our servants.
When the citizens of this 6tate
elect a man to office—no matter
what office it is—they place him
in that position for the express
purpose of doing his duty as such
officer and to perform the duties
attached to the office to which
he has been elected worthily and
well. And when the citizens of
this state place a man in office
whose duty it is to execute the
laws, they don’t expect that of
ficer to become a rank violator
of the laws which they place
him in office to enforce.
Having gotten this far, let us
advance a little more. The “high
sheriff” in the issue that is up,
lias admitted himself out of
court already, and the battle is
hardly advanced at all, as yet.
We are after the “official scalp”
of a man whom we have alledg-
ed is unworthy the suffrage of
the people of this county. And
I stand here where I have al
ways stood, that I shall never
vote for a man in the future who
cannot, do that which he is voted
for to do/ No mail oughr. to do
otherwise, and as for me I 'shall
not.
Now the “high sheriff” says
he turnbd the matter at issue
over to the solicitor. Well, he
makes the statement.^ Let’s ex
amine the calendar and see
whether the “high sheriff” is
responsible for what he says.
The superior court was called in
extra session on the 12th of Oc
tober. Prior to this date, to-
wifc: October the 10th, arrange
ments were made in the office of
the “high sheriff ” of this coun
ty, and arrangements were then
and there made for the payment
of the cost in the case. Since
that date the cost, has .been paid
as per the agreement on the 10th
by P. O. money order—or a great
er portion of it has. Now then
getting oack to the original. If
the “high sheriff” turned this
matter over to the solicitor, why
did he allow it. settled, and al
low his deputies to exact and
accept the cost before the solici
tor could get to his grand jury?
Has the “high sheriff” turned
the matter over to the solicitor?
If he has, then the solicitor
ought to be turned off and lur
ed over. If it was turned over
to the solicitor then there ought
not to have been committed an
other one of these “unofficial”
acts by taking it away from him.
But the “high sheriff” of Pauld
ing county, unlike all the high
sheriffs in the other counties of
this state, is clothed with a supe
rior power, and has the right to
do most anything. So he just
steps up to the solicitor and the
grand jury,and the courts and
does things to suit his own con
venience. Well, maybe he lias
this power. He seems to have it
in the very case at issue. For
instead of carrying the prisoner
to and before an officer to hear
the cause he actually racks out
that superior power that he is
vested with which the other sher
iffs of the ttafe don’t have, and
he becomes the court and assesses
the bond (which he says was a
good and solvent bond—pity die
had given it,)and actually“fixes”
the time and sets the case down
for trial. Neither of which acts
he had a right to do, but before
that day is reached exacts the
cost from the accused.
In this respect he cites section
988 of the criminal code of the
state which reads as follows, to-
wit: “Capitol offenses are baila
ble only before judges of the su
perior court and is in every case
a matter of sound discretion.
All other cases are bailable by
the conimitting court.” Well,
we guess the “high sheriff” is
the “committing court” refer
red to.
If the high sheriffs of this
state are to be vested with the
power of she courts and the
juries and appearently every
thing else in the country, then
the people ought to know this
fact. I am sure the people of
this county would use more
thought when they go to the polls
to cast their ballots. I am sure
if they knew they were voting
forjudge and solicitor and jury
and courts in general in voting
for the “high sheriff” they cer
tainly would not allow the dep
uties of the “high sheriff” to
come in their way when they
came to the ballot box.
Now one other thing and I am
done. Well, the “high sheriff”
says that a man who hides him
self “behind a non-de-plume is as
much an assassin as the man who
conceals himself and shoots you
fr m ambush.” Now, really we
did not intend to be such a cow
ard, but'wouldn’t you think al
most as strongly of a man who
doesn’t even use his own word
to shoot another? We think
you ought to tote fair in this
matter and not -use “the
saids” so many times. You
make us think you are copying
mighty close after the lawyer, if
you are not more careful with
your expressions.
Truly,your unambushed friend,
H. W. Nalley.
P. S. If the “high sheriff” has
washed his “hands and showed
up the foul mouthed slanderer”
will the same “high sherff” ex
plain why the settlement on the
10th, why the cost paid by P. O.
order since, and just furnish to
the people one small batch of
law where he can assess a bond
and set a trial. H. W. N

noted paintings in the December >
Designer, and “The Bethlehem
Star,” a full-page illustrated
poem by Aloysius Coll, carries
out still further the beautiful
idea. “Christmas at Bear Tooth”
by Lilian C. Paschal, is aatirring '
story of the West, while “Heart
of Gold, by Ada Marie Peck, is
another holiday romance, but in
different vein. That well-known
portrayer of happy childhood,
Mrs. Gabnelle E. Jackson, con
tributes the Christmas story for
young folks, entitled “How
Swipes Played Santa,” and Dr.
Sarah A. French Battey gives
suggestion for “Holiday ' Tab
leaux, Home-Made,” accompani
ed by charming illustrations.
“Nooks and Dens,” by Mary
Kilsyth, pictures and describes
the artistic furnishing of odd and
pretty rooms, and “A Christmas
Sock Social” and “A Doll Party”
will be of great assistant to the
Sunday school or young folk’s
club in search of attractive en
tertainments for this season.
A Remarkable Case.
One of the most remarkable cases of a
cold, deep-seated on the lungs, causing
pneumonia, is that of Mrs. Gertrude E.
Fenner, Marion, Ind. who was entirely
cured by the use of One Minute CoUgli
Cure. She says: “The coughing and
straining so weakened me that I ran down
in weight from 148 to 92 pounds. I tried
a number of remedies to no avail until 1
used One Minute Cough Cure. Four bot
tles of this wonderful remedy cured me
entirely of that cough, strengthened my
lungs and restored me to my normal
weight, health and strength. Sold by a.
