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- a ted i iifhh- Don’t forget.to vote Wednesday.

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. LAST DAY MUD.

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. MEMBER OF TIIK TRUST BROK EN UP IN CHICAGO — ALL SORTS OF CRIMES CHARGED. day.
