In tliis issue of The Times-ICuterpri.se is published a letter from
John <». Fuircloth, of Sylvester. This letter Is published as an adver
tisement by an order of Judge Park. Lark of spare prevents the
publishing also of the J. W. Roddenbery correspondence, which would
have appeared on his order, but for that reason.
Likewise In this issue appears a statement and some affidavits
which are published at the instance of Mr. Luke, which refute in ul-
most every detail the assertions of Mr. Fuirrlotli. In the interest of
fairness, of justice and of right, we commend these latter statements
to the people of the district in the hope that they will undo any at-

statement that Mr. Luke’s “boasted friendship for the deceased
statesman appears to have been for the office only,** is as untrue as
the other statements and not worthy the attention of |»eople who
knew either of the gentlemen at interest.
As far os the telegrams asking for the Roddenbery files before he
died, the statements of the telegraph authorities in affidavit form,
properly sworn to, will successfully deny that statement as also false
and but another of the several nut ruths which have l»een gotten to
gether in the most interesting letter of the gentleman who is work
ing for Judge Park.
The Times Enterprise makes these statements without the know
ledge of Mr. Luke, and simply and solely in the interest of fairness
and justice and truth.. We do not know the whys and wherefores of
its appearance so we cannot properly clinracterize the instigator
personally for its appearance.
In this connection, we might add that the friends of Judge Park
and Judge Covington need feel no apprehension about the appearance
of any eleventh-hour attacks. Mr. Luke has not clianged his repeat
ed policy of dealing with, and treating his opponents fairly aad as
gentlemea.

Washington, Nov. 1.—There was
borne discussion today in official
circles of the possibility that Presi
dent Wilson might send a message
to Congress, giving a detailed re
port on the Mexican situation. There
was no indication at the White
House, that such a plan was under
advisement.
It is believed however that Presi
dent Wilson again might address
himself to Congress, so as to ex
press the United States’ views to
foreign powers. It has been said
that there would be no direct com
munication to the foreign govern
ments on the Mexican situation.

Mexican Paper Says President Is

Mexico City, Nov. 1.—In an edi

the El Pais today says that the po
litical intrigue of the White House
has entered a period of apparent
inertia.
The same paper recently declared
that President Wilson is showing
himself reserved, undecided and
expectant. It also asserts that he
