The statement of what we loBiid on the Cleric of Court’s boohs hw? brought out many other things nsprivateand public Jit© that baa hada tendency to awaken voters of this county as to the kind or a man that je ohtfor office. ", - The most startling thing to allow develop©, especially on the eve of the election, is what W. F* <p,wr, the “gang’' nominee'on the Republican ticket for county 'prosecutor, has tdedfo do with'vv'immn' a , a mith, colored,, of this place. tfeveral years ago Rmitk ’hart Orr dosome legal work for him. He paid cash for part of his services arm the balance, Q it accepted his note for f 15 , dated January si, lpoi. Some months after that Smith palled a t p rr’s office to make a pay­ ment on the note. Smith met Orr justleavlngtiiebuilding and upon stating what lie came for Orr told him that be , was going away and did notjbave time to take the money, LaterHmith sent twomoney orders of $ 5,00 each to lie credited on the note. .One was No.,MOh and sent- May II, 1901 and cashed by W, F* Orr, May SO* 1901 . The other was No. 5838 and was sent June Cl, 1902 and cashed .by Orr June V, 1002 . These receipts Smith stfU has, hav- flfuwIluiljoieVT days ago from Frank Orr* Xenia postmaster and brother of W. F. Every effort was made on Smiths part to pay the note, ‘He' however was not going to make final pay­ ment until the note was ready for delivery, as is customary. What became of this note that Smith was put off thorn time to time on a pretense of being mislaid? W, F, Orr had sold the pots to Jackson Holmes a citizen of Xenia, yet he had received $h* m money through Hnole Bum’s pnstofflep and .Which is proven by special receipts from his own brother. .W. A, {Smith had' no knowledge where the njjte Was until he wag-no­ tified R'few days by M. J.

He did not know* of the receipts from’ his owmbrother showing tha t the Xenia office had honored the orders. La- tor Orr haS-thn nerve to write Smith and -“ explain’*’how*' it happened. The campaign wns on and the ’‘gang” candidate couldn’t think of such a thing being placed against him a t this time, Orr tells Smith in-the, tetter-that hC- Vsupppses” ha will have to’taako good the cred­ it, Either Orr haa lied to Hhrttoy or is “ hushing” Smith on aproifiise. ' The above a te undisputed facts and if>is plain to bo seen that the “gang',’,candidate was going to force this poor innocentl^bonng man to pay a part of the debt twice.

A mongst ft number of'events Orr r©-* sighed, for reasons not stated hero. and money ihat had not been in­ tended for personal use was made good by friends.
