14 HAYTI, MISSOURI iFRD JUNE 1822. T. R. COLE THREATENS TO WHIP EDITOR AND MANAGER OF HERALD Last Monday morning the writer had the unpleasant experience of forming a slight acquaintance with one T. R.

Cole, said to be a citizen of Pascola, and at present holding the official position of associato judge of the County Court. We had neve? passed a word except "howdy-do" with this man before and scarcely knew him by sight, and his manner of hliriself on this occasion is not calculated to raise him in our estimation as a gentleman or a law-abiding citizen. Being under the treatment of a physician for a chronic we were unable to be at our post of duty. The facts of our physical condition are too generally known roi such a wise(?) man as Cole not to be fully acquainted with. Not finding us at The Missouri Herald office, he located us "at our residence.

He called us but. Not being sensible of of doing this man any personal injury, we offered him our hand, which he refused. He held in his hand a copy of the last Friday's issue of our paper. Pointing tosan article on the first page which we had reproduced from the Democrat-Argus relative to the over-payment by the Court of a bill the Caruthersvllle Republican had rendered" for doing si-me legal advertising, he said: "That is a lie." There was at this sudden show of bitter hostilities a slight pause, then he resumed by saying: "I am going to whip you and Otis Popham the first time I catch you out; and I'm gona sue your paper and the Democrat-Argus, and all of you for libel." That ended the neighborly conversation. What we said is immaterial.

We are neither a blow, nor" a brag, nor a bluffer. But we know when we have taken enough of abuse, and. so long as we are able to raise a hand we cower to the threats of no sort or kind of a bully. After the abrupt breaking up of diplomatic relations Cole started away. Then some remark changed the conversation into a less heated tone.

We believe that we suggested that such would be the proper course if any further neighborly chat was to be continued. Cole drew some papers from his pocket which he said he desired to show us. He had a letter from the Western Newspaper Union, St. Louis the concern that had done the "expert" figuring for the Caruthersvllle Republican. He said that It was in the belief that same was correct that the Court had allowed the bill.

He stiU thought the same. He also produced an article in writing, giving his version of the County Court's deliberations in the matter, insisting that the County Court had made no error, and for the reason that the figures of an "expert" were bound to be correct. With his version we were of the opinion that the County Court, while making a very bad error, had acted in good faith. We told Cole that we would be glad to publish his statements. Ho said he would have a copy made and send us one.

Ho has not done so. Probably he has felnd a more satisfactory means of venting Ills wrath. ciiimtiiimuii Charles Miers, a prominent meat market man of New Madrid, wa3 hero Wednesday evening en route to Kennett, where he was to answer a charge of having been found on his premises a small bottle of moonshine Ho will appear bo-fore the U.

Von Mayes, whereby the former acquires, residence property in Hayti, states; that he will remove to that city between now and the first of July, or as soon as his property over there can be vacated.

Mr. Mayes, who acquires the Duncan property here on East Fifth jtreet, will make It his home whenever Mr. Duncan vacates it. Mr. Duncan and his estimable family moved over last Monday and are received with welcome as permanent citizens of this town.

Hayti is where John Duncan first set his feet upon Pemi3cot county soil. It was hero he first began the practice of law, and his removal here is but returning home. Welcome!

It is of importance for any town to be located on a railroad like tho great Frisco system, as Haytl is for-tunately situated. Greater things are always in store.

Tho Frisco is Improving. We aro informed tint tho "River Division," between St. Louis and Memphis, Is being laid with new steel rails. Work is In full blast on both ends of tho line. Now steel has been' laid from St.

Louis to Ste. Genevieve on tho north end, and is nearing Osceola, Ark on tho south end. NInetyTpouiid steel is being laid at tho rate of two miles a day, it is said. It is also reported that a new fast train or two for tho day runu will be put on as soon ns thu now Bteel is down, which shou'U bo completrd by early fall. Tho east and west and north and south local branches of tho Frisco, with divisions and roundhouse and shops here make Haytl tho best railroad center in Southeast Missouri.

July 0 lo 11 Now it a good time to get that now piece of furniture, You may price furniture anywhere you please, but you cannot equal the value anywhere that I can give you for the money. J. Dorrls. 30-30 1 That makes it the Republican The Missouri Herald insists that the Prosecuting Attorney take action on the bill presented by the Republican to the County Court and allowed $846.00 for printing the report of the Board of Equalization, and for political reason he refuses to act, the paper demands that a Grand Jury be called THE republican demands, thesame thing. we urge, beg and plead that the prosecuting take immediate if he- refuses, we urge judge Mccarty as a special favor to us to call a GRAND JURY.

We court investigation. We want it; WE DEMAND IT. The article in The Missouri Herald waB based on one re-printed from the Democrat-Argus, where insinuations, not even thinly veiled, were made hat the Republican charged $100 too much for thi printing and for "rotten political" reasons Judge Shade an Judge Cole allowed the bill, Judge Juden not having any part in such "rotten politics." NOW THE MISSOURI HERALD CANNOT WANT THIS INVESTIGATION ANY MORE THAN THE REPUBLICAN 'AND WE DEMAND A GRAND JURY -BE CALLED IN CASE MR. HUTCHINSON REFUSES TO "ACT. The Caruthersville Republican, June 15.

1922. Thus speaks the Republican, unanimous. But do the editors o( realize their danger? For expressions not half so strong the pugilistic member of the Court threatened to whip and mop up the streets with the entire force of two of the Democratic; papers. Having done that to his heart's content, he then proposed to turn 'round and sue them for libel. Sofar, probably due to the hot weather, he has done neither.

In the first place, the hydrophobia that caused him to do the threatening may have been caused from the heat. Any man is entitled to the benefit of all extenuating circumstances. But if the weather does not moderate, what will he do to the Republican? We shudder at the sight of the blood and the shreds of calico that will strew the sidewalk. We are glad to have our suggestion for an investigation endorsed. It is not often that the innocent suffer at the hands of the Prosecuting Attorney and the Grand Jury.

And having our stand so vigorously commended, where do we come in for criticism? The Republican admits it Would have done the same as we have done. It does not only suggest an investigation, as we did. It demands it. We admire the Republican's honesty. Its stand convinces us that in submitting its bill for nearly double amount allowable, it made an "honest mistake." The "politics" that gave it the job at about double the amount it could have been done for elsewhere was "rotten" enough without adding to it the appearance of "graft," which, we believe, the Republican would not knowingly subject itself to be accused of being a party to.

However, it is just a little strange that, after more than a week, the Republican, with the abundance of available means at hand, has not discovered its error, but instead is still swinging on to about $100.00 paid it out of the county funds to which it is not entitled, and will, undoubtedly, in the final wind-up, be forced to disgorge. If it takes a Grand Jury investigation to convince the Republican and its two political friends at court of the blunder they have made in touching the county treasury too heavily, we hope the Republican's demands for an investigation will have active attention. The Republican would spread its taint to Presiding Judge Juden. He is one against two. We don't think he has reached that stage of perfection where it is impossible for him to err.

But we are watching these proceedings. Knowing Judge Juden as we do, we believe if he finds that he has been led into error he will take the first opportunity to correct it, instead of trying to cover it up and go up and down jthe highways threatening to whip all who would right a wrong. Will the other interested parties tfo the same? We shall see. They will soon be on record, and the records are for the public to know. i REED WORRIED BY WOMEN'S ORGANIZATION ACTIVITIES MORE "SMOKE SCREEN." Lnut week being out of the clt'y tho activities along the line of arresting bootleggers and capturing stills was not printed, but from proper olliclitlu we have secured the following iliita for HiIh Issue: State vs.

State against Allle Barnett, Caruthersvllle, fine $500.00 and sentenced to six months in jail. State againBt Tom York, who lives near Steele, fined $100.00 and costs and plea of guilty. State against Charles Rhine, who lives near Steele, was tried before Squire Bowen on second offense. He took change of venue to J. F.

Henson, at Cooter. State against Pleas Lynn. Caruthersvllle, set for Wednesday, June 21. The Republican. That is all right.

Fine. Dandy. Catch 'em. Go after them like biting sow after a yellow hound that had unsuspectingly butted hisyjiosc into the sow's bed of young pigs. But may we humbly suggest without getting whipped or sued for libel that might be a good Idea to tighten the meshe3 of the net? The grinnels, 'ie gars, the eels, the snapping turtles, the water moccasins, to-wit, the election thieves, are slipping through.

But get the bootleggers. If a man is found with a quart of wine for sacramental purposes, grab him. Hog-tie -Throw, him- tor jail. Destroy the wine. If a mother is caught with a bottle of homemade blackberry cordial she would use if the baby contracted cholera morbus, slam the lady behind the bars and throw the bottle in the river.

They are bootleggers. But election thieves they are the "leading citizens" of the community, sometimes. July 0 to 11 CHAUTAUQUA. Hannibal, Jiine 11. Senator Reed has served notice on Cordell Hull, national Democratic chairman, that if he permits tho organization of women's Democratis clubs in Missouri in advance of the primary he will-list Mr.

Hull as one of his political enemies and proceed accordingly. This is interpreted to mean that Reed will turn the flame of his blistering tongue on the Democratic chairman and keep it there. If. Hull was sure that Breckenridge Long would beat Reed for the nomination this might not be particularly serious, but, while Reed's defeat is probable, nobody is dead sure that it is accomplished, and if Reed returns to the Senate with the prestige of having won in spite of Wood-row Wilson's efforts to put him clear out of the Democratic party his enmity will not be a comfortable thing for any party chief. The campaign in Missouri has reached the jumpy stage, and It Is not surprising that Reed's captains sec in the reluctance of Hull to call off the women the hand of Wilson.H (Continued on page eight) s1 ,.1 Mrs.

Hayti. tf CALIFORNIA AGAINST REED (H. P. Coleman of Long Beach, California, large land-owner and former prominent citizen of Pemiscot county, writes a letter imploring IiIb friends not to vote for the re-election of Jim Reed to the United States Senate. Never before in the history of Missouri politics was our election of a.

United States Sonator of so vital concern to the people of all the States. What Reed did In tho Inst election to de-i feat the National Democracy affected all the States the same as Missouri, and from Maine to California and from the Canadian border to the Gulf of Mexico true Democrats are praying for MIs-Bourlans to do their duty. Because of his betrayal of the American army In the war for Independence, Benedict Arnold wan not raised to a higher otllclal rank, nor the rank lie held confirmed and approved. And no more Is Reed entitled to have his traitorous acts against Democracy In Its most supreme hour of need connrmnd by 'the voters of Missouri. The nomination and election of Reed would spell the death knell of Democracy, not only for Missouri, but for tho nation, for years to come.

Read Mr. Coleman's letter and think it over. Kdltor Missouri Herald.) June 8, 1922. Tho Hayti Herald: I see by the Democrat-Argus of May 30th that old Jim Reed seems to have gotten quite a boost from some source. How on earth could such a thing happen in a Democratic paper, after all tho mischief ho has done to that political party? I cannot understand.

Surely it must have boon a paid auverusement, otuerwise how could It have gotten there? And even at that, it must have been well paid for. If the grand old Democratic party is taking Jim Reed back into its folds with good grace and full-fledged fellowship, I an bo ginning to believo there is not very much to tho party. Of course, I realize that oven a U. S. Senator may have his personal ideas concerning a political question, but when that question becomes so big that it becomes a national question and a party issue, it then behooves a U.

S. Sena tor to stand by his. party's conviction or get on tho other side where he, in reality, really belongs. He has cortaiuly doue tho party more harm than all the other Democratic Senators coin blncd. I think it is high time the grand old party wus kicking' such so-called Democrats as Jim Rood out, and don't think tuov ouwutu uv isw J'vmu either.
