OPEN LETTER
TO J. R. WALKER
-
(Contnued from First Page)
I will undertake to answer the speech
that you delivered last Friday in my
presence on issues and issues only.
In your lost campaign with Mr. Hen
derson, of Irwin county, you were very
eager to hurl at Mr. Henderson a chal
lenge to meet you in a joint debate,
and I cannot understand the attitude
that you have assumed in this race by
trying to avoid meeting your oppon
ents.
When I met you at Bristol on our
return home Friday evening, I under
stood from your words and actions to
ward me, that you thought that I was
rot sincere in my proposal to meet
you before the people, because when
you said that you would meet me at j
any time and place that I would name,}
and 1 accepted this on my part, you !
said that you thought that I was bluff- ,
ing.
In view of th e fact that it is gener- j
ally conceded over the district that this '
is a Walker-Bowden race, and that
either you or I will represent the peo- j
tple of this district, and I firmly be- 1
iieve that I will represent the people ;
of this district in congress next sess
ion, I submit-you this proposition: You
accept my proposition to meet you in
the above named counties, and I sug
gest the dates of August 29, 30, 31 anu
September 1, and if I fail to meet you
after you have accepted this challenge
(Providential causes only excepted), I
promise to retire from this race.
Now, I am making this an open
letter to you, and I await with pleas
ure an immediate reply accepting my
proposal.
Very respectfully,
(Adv.) J. E. T. BOWDEN.

Wonder why Mr. Carl Meeks shakes
our hand every time we try to slip by
his emporium. Whats the idea Carl?
We're no politician, so why all this
affection?
Well, Miss Bessie Meeks done gone
and done it. Married Prof. J. B.
Sullivan, of Schpestoe, Ga., Sunday
afternoon, and left immediately on her !
honeymoon. Good luck.
Miss Janie says that everytime she '
sees one of them things of the op- :
posite sex displaying their gorgeous j
awning-striped hose, she gets a sneak
ing notion to tap it gently on the ;
head and thus relieve it of its misery, j
Major J. A. Davis has got so that ]
he doesn’t mind if we call him by his i
middle name, as long as we laugh
eveyrtime he tells us a joke, and the
cotton buyers give him 14 V’cents for ,
his cotton.
Miss Maude Douglas has returned
to her home in Jacksonville, Fla., after
spending three weeks here with rela
tives.
If you should happen tp notice Mr.
Zene depressed spirits and
melancholy expression, then do not
wonder at its cause. Imagine how
you’d feel if your fair one left you.
Macon wants the capitol, and Colo
nel Roosevelt wants to he President.
Now if some fellow will come along
and ask us for our right eye, we’ll go
jn arbitration with ourself and adjust
•tatters satisfatorily.
