’ Augusta Chronicle: No cause
anil no candidate can succeed with
out organization. There are legiti
mate uses for money in a campaign,
and the employment of canvassers
in a political cause is recognized
everywhere from Midlothian to
Georgia.
But there is a difference between
organizing for political principles,
where parties are arrayed, and com
bining on personal issues, where
men of the same party are opposing
each other. And there is a distinc
tion between organizing upon po
litical issues and combining in the
interest of one section and one set
of men.
The Chronicle wants to see the
Bacon men thoroughly organized
and supplied witli all the resources
of war, and .vfe can make no point
upon our opponents for showing
good generalship and hard work,
but the appearance in every con
tested county, of Atlanta men and
Atlanta means in the interest of an
Atlanta candidate, looks like an at
tempt to buy the governorship
when other means have failed.
Such influences are ceniraliz.ing
and corrupting. We are not among
those, and have never been, who
believe that nothing good can come
out of Atlanta. Her enterprise and
her vim are frequently objects of
admiration. Some of her people
who are managing Gen. Gordon’s
campaign are known to us and
command our confidence and es
teem. We believe them incapable
ot resorting to low methods and
corrupting means.
But have they considered how
fast their political canvass has hur
ried them—how far their political
ambition has carried them? They
bave set up their awn Gods and ig
nored the rest of the state, and
they have filled the minds of many
good people with alarm. So firm
and far-reaching have been their
demands and so pervading and per
sisteut their elforts that their candi
dates are being regarded with sus
picion and their appeals with unea
siness.
Political machinery should be
used for the service ot the party,
not for the enslavement ot a peo
ple. Departure from the straight
line of political conduct is easily ag
gravated into questionable ways,
and the leaders of the people soon
become responsible lor their mis-
governnient. It is a much more
important matter that the public
methods in Georgia should be im
proved than that either Major Ba
con or General Goulon should be
elected Governor.
These are the reasons why we
appeal to the people of Glascock,
of Lincoln and other counties to
watch this campaign and see that
some of the influences at work are
sternly rebuked.
It is a little curious how reticen
some of the Gordon men are about
the movements ot the great general
We are informed he is to be at
Monroe, Logansviile and Law
renceville, in a few days, but the ex
act dates are withheld. It is also
reported he is to be in Newton
county on the first Saturday in Juiy
at a barbecue at Oak Hill; but, we
cannot vouch for the truth of 'he
report. The generel seems to be
moving about in a sly sort of way,
and does not advertise his appoint
ments in the papers, like Mr. Bacon.
We cannot understand why he does
not want the Bacon men to hear
him speak, or to know when he is
coming. If he expects to make
new converts where he speaks, lit
must expect to get them from the
Bacon side. It may be, however,
he only expects to keep a tight grip
on the weak kneed Gordon men to
keep from losing them.—Covington
Star.
THE M ETIIODS OF THE CAMPAIGN.
II there is 3 man in Georgia who
now doubts that Gen. Gordon is. a
mere tool in the hands of a few
politicians in Atlanta, it is one who
has not observed the methods of
the campaign. The centre is in At
lanta, the emissaries all go out
from that nest, the information all
concentrates there, and the plans
are made in and the orders issued
from that place.
In Warien county an agent ap
peared, who, we are told, furnish
ed, at his own expense, free enter
tainments to such as voted for Gor
don. The scenes which followed
in the meeting in that county we
hope will not be repeated elsewhere
Who can doubt that the whole pro
gramme was arranged and dictated,
and the money furnished from At
lanta to work up the county for
Gordon. It is doubtful if he had a
single acquaintance in the county
We do not know that a single citf
z.en of Oconee requested him to
come, but he came, and from At
lanta. As each county meetingap-
proaches, you will see a man from
Atlanta circulating through the
county. The people have begun
to look for them as regularly now
upon the eve of the action of these
counties, as the look for the side
shows and the sleight-of-hand men
when the circus enters the town.
They are a sort of political fakirs
sent out from Atlanta to control
the people. They come loaded
with documents and covered all
over with piles of the Atlanta Con
stitution. They will make their
appearance soon in Jackson, in
Madison and in Habersham.
They come like the locusts. You
go to bed at night and wake up in
the morning and the country is
swarming with them. These gen
tlemen are employed by the At
lanta ring to do this thing. They
are sent out to carry the various
counties for Gordon. When one
of them talks to a citizen he may
understand that he is being ad
dressed l>y an agent of the Atlanta
ring, sent to him to instruct him
how to vote. When the people of
a county desire the instruction of
one in whom they have confidence,
and request him to come and speak
to them it is proper, but when a
nest of politicians in one city, and
it the capital, send out uninvited
missionaries into the so-called rural
districts to enlighten us, we re
spectfully submit that it is presum
ing too far upon our ignorance.
Whatever else may be said of it,
the existence of a ring in Atlanta
who are governing Gordon and his
campaign, is proven by it. It is a
new thing in Georgia, and it is a
bold and desperate game. If it
wins the ring will rule Georgia
■while Gordon is governor.
A BltOKEX BOOM.
THE OCONEE CONTEST.
There is no. disputing the tact
that the triumph of Gen. Gordon in
Oconee, last Thursday, was a sore
disappointment to Major Bacon’s
friends in this section, for they
were confident of victory, and there
is not a shadow of doubt, either
that up to forty-eighs hours before
the contest, the Ring candidate
was badly beaten; but through
some secret agency, that will yet be
made known, the result was chang
ed. It was also, in a great meas
ure, due to the neglect of the Ba
con men to turn out and vote,
while the Gordon ites polled their
full strength. We do not say thia
with a view of complaining, but to
warn other counties yet to act that
they may not fall into the same
snare as Oconee. While the neg
lect tocaptuie Oconee was a disap
pointment to his friends, the re
duced majority by which the oppo
sition carried the day is a triumph
rather than a defeat to Major Ba
con. Out of the latge vote polled—
nearly the entire county—a change
of eight votes would have placed
Oconee in the Bacon column. Oco
nee has always been anti-Bacon,
and it went for Boynton almost sol
idly. Messrs. Booth & Ashford
are the leading merchants of the
county, and ex-rt such an immense
political influence that Oconee
has never failed to go the way that
they dictated. It has long been a
saying thit to control Oconee you
must first control Tom Booth. This
film has always been anti-Bacon,
and in the late contest bent all of
their energies toward carrying the
county for Gordon. They were
backed, too, by Mr. Hinton, super
intendent of the High Shoals fac*
tory, and any one can see that this
combined influence was hard to
defeat, aad that the small majority
by which Gen. Gordon crept in
showed a great revolution in public
sentiment against the Atlanta Ring
and scored a decided gain for Major
Bacon. We do not know what
“devices’* Atlanta brought to bear
to save the day in Oconee, but feel
assured that neither Messrs. Booth,
Ashford or Hinton employed any
thing but lair and honorable means.
They had great influence and power
over many voters, and taxed it to
its utmost limits, am' even then a
change of eight voles would have
lost them the day. We were disap
pointed in Oconee, but we will not
be in Madison, Franklin, Banks,
Jackson or Walton, and we do net
believe in Habersham, Elbert, Ogle
thorpe, Hart or Gwinnett.
RING RULE.
NO OHIO METHODS IN OCR’S.
The vote of little Oconee for
Gordon yesterday is one of the
healthy signs, rapidly accumulating,
that the honest masses of our peo
ple will havenothing to
do with the Athens
'court-house clique method inaugu-
ratee by Mr. Bacon’s followers in
this campaign. A slander and
trick campaign is obnoxious to Av-
ery iair minded man, as the Bacon
management. have already found
out to their serious loss and chagrin.
Oconee gave them another “point
er” yesterday.
The above appears in the Atlanta
Journal. If we want any advice as
to how to manage our elections, we
will not get a man from Ohio, to
teach us. We know of their pres
ent methods, and we had enough of
them during Sherman’s march to
the sea.
COL. STANLEY’S ROMANCE.
Even Gen. Gordon’s friends ad
mit that Major Bacon is gaining in
strength now daily, and they are
badly frightened. The people have
had time to analyze Gen. Gordon’s
speeches, and they find in them no
good reason why he should have
left his office in New York and so
suddenly come back to Georgia to
divide and harrass his party, when
we were getting on so quietly and
smootnly. They see that he insults
their intelligence by appeals to ig
norance and prejudice and studi
ously avoids answering the legiti
mate and proper questions asked
by the press and his honorable op
ponent. They are disgusted with
seeing Gen. Gordoa, headed by a
brass band, invade a county on the
day of an election, and are also
alarmed at the free and indiscrimi
nate use of money in the campaign.
The convincing arguments and gen
tlemanly campaign of Major Bacon
is having a good effect, and the vo
ters are fast rallying around his
standard. His friends, too, are now
thoroughly organized, and will not
lose any more counties by inactiv
ity. Gen. Gordon has already ex
pended his strength, and those
sweeping triumphs that character
ized the early days of the campaign
have been brought to a sudden halt.
Within the next ten days or two
weeks Bacon will not only pass and
lead Gordon, but seal his defeat.
John B. Gordon as an insurance
agent, cost the peopie of Georgia
$119.5^7. Truly does the versatile
General say the insurance business
was one of the most successful
schemes lie ever engaged in. Of
this amount we find that the citi
zens of Athens lost one thousand
four hundred and ninety-nine dol
lars and eight-six cents. These all
livetl in the jurisdiction of the At-
lauta depattment of which John B.
Gordon was president. The names
ol the unfortunates can be given il
the amount is doubted.
It takes money to pay tor brass
bands, &c. Arc they discontinued,
because certain stocks that were de
posited as security for money ad
vanccd to the Got don campaign
club have declined?
TRY IT OVER.
The Atlanta Constitution made an
amusing mistake in its editorial col
umns yesterday, in the statement
that the Chairman of the Clarke
county meeting which elected dele
gates was the President of a rail
road. This will be news .not only
to the people here generally, but to
the Chairman himself. If he is the
President of a railroad he don’t
know it and wants to find his road
and gets into possession of the of
fice. He is in every way qualified
for such a place, but he not only
never was the president of one, but
never had anything to do with one
in any capacity. The other curios
ities of literature in that same arti
cle are about as near the fact as the
one above refered to.
The cloven foot ot the Atlanta
ring is showing itself at every turn
of the wheel in the gubernatorial
campaign. Gen. Gordon is almost
retired into the background. His
empty vaporings upon the stump
are a mere sounding brass; the real
work is being done by the ling and
its agents. He is one of its agents.
They arm him with arguments aud
suggestions, they furnish him with
means, they select his appoint
ments and send him to fill them.
At the same time they send out
their other workers, and the cam
paign ramifies from Atlanta as its
centre, through all the counties.
The people who are supporting
this movement are hugging the de
lusion that they will make Gen.
Gordon governor. He will if elec
ted have no more power than he has
now. He will belong body and
soul to the men who elected him
and they are a few politicians in At
lanta. He will owe his election lo
them, to their money and their work.
They will dictate the policy and
control his official acts as complete
ly as a parent does his child. The
real rulers of Georgia are behind
him. They are using him. He suits
their purpose just now. If he did
not they would even now throw
him aside as they would a squeezed
lemon and think no more of him.
At last the people are 'beginning
to perceive this, and in order to car
ry a county for Gordon new, pres
sure which amounts to coercion has
to be brought to bear upon the peo
ple. The methods of this ring in
some of the recent contents are in
dicative of desperation. If a
thoughtful- citizen, who desires
good government will go into the
counties of Jackson, or Habersham,
or Franklin next week and observe
the agents of the ring at work, he
will come to the conclusion that
deep-laid plan to control the state
is being worked out under the name
of Gordon.
It is rumored on the streets of
Atlanta that the Gordon club has
run short of funds. Is this the rea
son why Milt Smith was taken from
the field?
Cheyenno Leader.
On the day at Yellow Tavern,
when the riders of the south fol
lowed Stuart’s plume into the
hurtling death-storm of fifty guns,
Col. Stanley rode boot to boot with
the great cavalry leade. As the
smoke thickened and the iron-
storm swept with redoubled fury
through the ranks of the charging
grep, Stewart raised himself in his
stirrups and broke into the words
of his favorite song, “The dew is on
the blossom.” The mellow voice
of the charging leader was the Col
onel’s last remembrance ot the on
set. A grape shot tearing through
his right breast, hurled him from
his saddle, and he made one of the
thousands stretched upon that
bloody field.
When next his eyes opened they
looked upon the surroundings of a
Richmond hospital cot. At the
side of the cot sat “Mammy,” the
negress who bad nursed him as a
baby, amused him as a child, at
tended him as a youth, and follow
ed him to the battle-field. Learn
ing that the young master and fos
ter child had fallen, “Mammy” had
followed by the dim light of the
lantern, through half the night, her
awful track of that terrible chatge.
Mangled limbs, shattered breasts,
contorted features and blood-be-
daddled locks paled the lantern’s
feeble gleam at every step and
qrought to the cheek of the ne
gress the peculiar ashen hue lent
by terror to the dusky skin of her
race.
At last the right heap of the slain
was reached, and “mammy” drew
from it the bloody form of her
young master. Tenderly she cared
lor her foster child, and rested not
until he was beneath the surgeon’s
care. For long months the desper
ately wounded soldier lay in Rich
mond hospital, devotedly nursed by
the old negress. When at last he
left his bed he was in no condition
to resume his place in the service.
On a furlough he passed a year in
Italy, and with the hue of health
once more upon his cheek and the
strength ot manhood in his arm,
hastened back to strike a last blow
at the Confederacy. Participating
in the closing shocks of the great
conflict, he rode in that last efiort ot
desperate courage, by which Gor
don’s cavalry eut their way through
the encompassing Federal ranks.
Here he received the sabre cut,
whose grim and livid trace still
mark his features. In the cabin of
a Virginia mountaineer the Colonel
recovered from his second wound,
and then made his way out of the
country. Locating in the Brazilian
diamond fields, still attended by
the faithful “mammy,” he was for
tunate from the first. He soon had
a fortune in his possession, and, se
lecting Southern California as jiis
future home, he purchased and
stocked a ranch, and has since led
the free and independent life of the
plains.
“And now,” said the Colonel, in
conclusion, “would you not like to
ste ‘mammy?’" “Most assuredly,”
was the replj, and to the Colonel’s
call there came forth an aged and
bent negress. “You see,” said the
Colonel, “she will not leave me.”
“Not,” said “mammy,” “until the
Lord calls.”
WHY LUDWIG DID NOT MARRY.
A Soiled Handkerchief Robs Princess Sophia
of a Crown.
Mr. and Mrs. Joseph King of Bal
timore, were in Munich at the time
of the engagement of the late King
Ludwig and the Princess Sophia.
"It has been the custom in Bavaria,”
said Mr. King to a reporter, “on the
betrothal of any of the royal families
to have the engravings of the par
ties made and copies distributed
throughout the kingdon. This, of
course was done at the time ot the
engagement of young Ludwig and
his pretty fiancee. When the en
gagement was annulled by the King,
however, he determined to destroy
the gifts he had so gladly bestowed
among his friends a short time be
fore, and requested those who had
received copies of the the objec
tionable engravings to return them
forthwith. Such was the devotion
of the people to their ruler that his
order was generally obeyed. I was
fortunate enough to get hold of one
of the few prints that remained un
returned, which was given me by a
person not a subject of the King,but
made me promise i would not re
veal the picture until I had left Mu
nich. Though Mrs. King and I were
in Munich six months, we never
heard while there the story of Lud
wig presenting to Sophia a golden
crown as a propitiatory offering. It
was generally believed there that
his betrothed in his presence, took
from her pocket a slightly soiled
handkerchief, which want of refine
ment so shocked his Majesty that
he at once discarded her. This is
said to have been the beginning ot
AGRICULTURAL CLUB.
A Hove la tbs Bicht Direction bp tbe Far
mers of Clarke County.
During an interval in the meeting at
the opera house yesterday, Mr. G. E
Heard, one of the progressive farmers of
Clarke county, took occasion to press
upon the citizens of the county the im
portance of forming an agricultural club.
Mr. Heard, in a neat and well timed little
speech, showed the necessity of organi
zation among the farmers, and suggested
the following constitution and by-laws
for the government of the C arke county
agricultural club:
CONSTITUTION AND nY-I.AWS.
The name sf this association shall be
the — club of county, on the
county agricultural society. Its
object shall be the promotion ane diffu
sion of agricultural knowledge aqy>ng
its members.
The officers shall be a chairman, vice-
president and secretary, elected annual
ly-
The constitution inny be changed and
the by-laws may be altered by a vote of
two-thirds of the members of the club.
This club will co-operate with Jother
clubs in the county or in any district of
•the state, on such terms as my be agreed
upon, and will be auxiliary to the state
agricultural society and be represented
in its meetings.
We, the undersigned, by subscribing
this constitution pledge ourselves to
abide by it, and the by-laws passed in
pursuance of it, we will endeavor, in
good faith, laying conflicting business
aside, to arrange for regular attendance

WHO IS A. 0. BACON?
Gen. Gordon, in canvassing for
the governorship, makes it a point
to tell that his father was a Baptist
preacher. Major Bacon could do
likewise, and would if he had Gen.
Gordon’s cheek. Major Bacon comes
of as good a lineage as anybody.
His father was was Rev. A. O. Ba
con, of Liberty county, who died
quite young and a short time before
the birth of his distinguished son,
who bears the name of his 'father.
Majer Bacon's father was a Baptist
minister and a grandson of Rev.
Henry Holcombe, D. D., one of the
grandest men the Baptist church
ever produced. Dr. Henry H.
Tucker, the present editor of the
Christian Index, and one of the
most gifted men ot the times, is a
near relative of Maj. Bacon, through
the Holcombe blood. Maj. Bacon’s
father was a man of many noble
and high qualities ot mind and heart.
He had a fine literary education and
took a Theological course at Co
lumbia, S. C. Dr. church, at one
time president of the State Univer
sity, regarded him as one of the best
and most promising men that ever
attended the University. Rev. A.
O. Bacon did not live long alter en
tering the ministry. He died from
an attack of fever, his last sermon
being preached while suffering from
the disease which terminated his
valuable life. Maj. Bacon’s mother
was'a lady of rare accomplishments
and devoted and also a member of
the Baptist church.—Cuthbert Lib
eral.
Why does the Gordon club in
Atlanta pay some of its debts with
checks on the First National Bank
of Mew York? Is not this bank
the depository of a certain railtoad
king?
The argument used in Oconee
was most powerful.
Money makes the horse trot, it
also helps greatly to carry elections.
Three dollars worth of coffee is
the price now paid for voters.
Han* to a Tree.
Detroit, June 24.—William Kel-
nher, alias “Reddy,” who killed
Officer Convey yesterday while re
sisting arrest, was taken from jail
last night by a large crowd of dis
guised men, escorted to the neigh
boring grove, hung to a limb of a
tree and his body riddled with bul
lets. Sheriff Pinney attempted to
defend his prisoner, but was over
powered. Kelaher was a gambler,
and was known in Minneapolis,
where he lived for a time as a hard
character.
A Locomotive Sold. •
Mr. J. V. Motter, of the Rhode Is
land locomotive works, has_ been
making headquarters in the city tor
some time. H* has just sold to Mr.
Harry Hill a locomotive for the new
railroad from Union Point to White
Plains. Mr. Motter says the engine
is first class, and weighs thirty -two
tons. He says also that in passing
through Macon a day. or two ago
he saw a new locomotive, which ia
to be put on the Macon and Cov
ington road.

Mr. Heard is thoroughly aroused on
the agricultural question, and is on the
right line. The farmers should organize
at once, and any information necessary
to secure an organization can he had
from Mr. Heard.
a Startling Rumor.
Macon, June 23.—It is rumored
among the half-wild negroes who
live away out beyond East Macon,
having a sort of half-town, half
farm all to themselves, that a white
baby was found on the doorsteps
of one Mary Wall yesterday morn
ing. She opened her door about 6
o'clock and was very much amazed
to see the little waif lying there
wrapped in a bundle of clothes,
but really almost nude as to its own
clothing, and apparently not more
than 24 hours old. The woman
took the baby in and is taking care
of it.
The Little Big Horn.
Fort Custer, Mont., June 24.—
The ceremonies attending the tenth
anniversary of the massacre on Lit
tle Big Horn began here yesterday
with a recitation by Captain God
frey one of the survivors of that ill
fated expedition, describing evehts
ot that fatal June day as far as
known. Chief Gaul and visitors
from Forts Keogh and Yates are
present. A camp‘will be made on
the battle field, and every foot of
this historic spot will be visited on
horseback. Gaul and the Indians
who were present at the massacre
will show exactly how General
Custer and his brave troopers met
their fate.
DISGUSTED SHARPERS.
There is a sharper’s game which
has been played for the last hundred
years as the turning point is avarice
the game works forty-nine times
where it fails once. Two sharpers
set out a few weeks ago to play it
on a Wayne county farmer. One of
them came along one day and want
ed to buy the farm. As the farmer
wanted to sell, it was quite easy to
strike a bargain. The price was to
be <*4,000 in cash, and the man hand
ed over $250 to bind the bargain.
Within two days a second stranger
came along and wanted the farm.
He wanted the farm so bad that he
couldn’t stand still. He found indi
cations of coal, natural gas and coal
oil, and was willing to give $6,500
for the place. The idea was, of
course, that the farmer would be
awful sick of his first sale and seek
to buy the man off. It would pay
him to offer the man $1,500 to re
lease him.
The second stranger was only out
I of sight when the first one turned
* up again. His mouth watered over
the prospects but not for long. The
farmer explained that he had been
offered $2,500 more,and added: ‘But
I don’t caie tor money. The $4,000
is enough for me, and its all the old
place is worth. When you arc
ready to pay the balance we will
make out the papers.”
The purchaser offered to release
him for one thousand, and finally
got down to fifty but the farmer
didn’t want to be released. He hung
to the bargain money and he’s got
it yet,while the sharpers gnash their
teeth every time they think of the
thickness of his skull.—Detroit Free

A Sad Cats In Athens—A Besotted Husband
Drinks the Whisky Prescribed for hta
Dying Wlfe--Lylng for Two Days In a
Neglected Condition.
There recently reached our ears a sto
ry almost too horrible to believe, and
yet it comes from a most reliable source.
There lived in Athens an old couple,
with all their children married off. The
wife was a worthy, Christian woman,
but the husband was a confirmed drunk
ard, whose thirst for whisky was insati
ate. lie would pawn his soul for
drink, and every dollar he earned went
to the bar-keeper. At last the wife was
taken seriously sick and her life was in a
critical condition. Her physician pre-
scribed whisky for treatment, and as the
old people were without means, a son
in-law gaVe the husband enough money
to buy a gallon of liquor. He went down
into Oglethorpe county, to a man who is
dealing out the ardent in defiance of
prohibition, and purchased a gallon of
whisky. While the temptation to taste
it was strong upon the old man, he re
strained his appetite until near home,
when he decided to steal only a swallow.
This only whetted his thirst, and when
he staggered into the room where his
sick wife lay, he was beastly drunk
For two days he laid on the floor in this
condition, with that jug hugged to his
breast, and on awakening from his stu
por would at once begin to drink again.
In the meantime his poor wife lay upon
her bed, with no one to attend to her
wants, while her besotted husband was
rolling like a beast upon the floor, sel
fislily drirking up the whisky that was
to restore her to life. The neighbors
knew nothing of what was going on. In
the meantime, the poor woman, through
sickness and neglect, died unattended
and uncared for. After two days’ time
some person chanced to pass, and dis
covered ‘the husband drunk upon the
floor, whilejthe poor old woman was ly-
, ing dead upon her bed.

A CONGRESSMAN’S COW TRADE.
Representative O’Neal, of Mis
souri, is a veritable son of the soil.
Among his constituents he is a
granger himself. jHis district lies in
the upper part of St. Louis, but as
it embraces the billy goat and gar
den truck surburbs ot the metropo
lis of the Mississippi, his constituen
cy is somewhat rural. To this ele
ment O’Neal has long been a walk
ing encyclopedia ot information con
cerning crops and live stock. Dur
ing the last campaign, while visiting
he met one of his farmer constit
uents driving a cow. He at once
began to air his knowledge of bo
vine breeds. In the heighths of his
enthusiasm he offered to buy the
cow.
The farmer was not anxious to
sell, but said he would take $65 for
her.
“Drive her up to.my house,” said
O’Neal,“and I’ll be there to pay y u
the money.”
“The farmer regretted he had con
sented to part with his favorate cow
and said: “Let me tell you, Mr. O’
Neal, the cow is a gentle creature
and a good milker but she has
upper teeth.”
“Of course that changes the trade”
said Mr. O’Neal. ‘You wouldn’t ex
pect me to take a cow with such a
defect as that, but bring me a good
milker with sound upper teeth and
i’ll buy her.”
When the story got out there was
great excitement in the cabbage end
of his district. The grangers swore
they wouldn’t have a Congressman
who was “blamed fool enough to
believe cows had upper teeth.” As
a result O’Neal was only elected by
the skin of his own upper teeth.
