to Two. THE REVIEW: REIDOVILLE, N. C. TUESDAY AND FRIDAY. THE REVIEW COMPANY, (Incorporated.) JOHN T.

OLIVER President MANTON OLIVER V-President R. J. OLIVER Treas. ONE DOLLAR PER YEAR. THE PROOF SUBMITTED.

Chairman J. R. Joyce, of the Republian executive committee, in the last issue of Webster's Weekly, strenuously objects to The Review's assertion that there is a question of veracity involved between himself and Sheriff Clark and the deputy sheriff, J. W. Fagg, of Leaksville township.

He then concludes his protest with the statement that if the editor of The Review "wants to repeat the charge he ought to be brave enough to assert it on its own responsibility." And he also adds, "if he again repeats the charge without assuming responsibility therefor I brand such publication as cowardly and contemptible, and beneath the notice of a gentleman." Trierefore he puts it up to us to reiterate our charge or we assume the attitude of being "bluffed off," and if we do repeat the charge we are branded a "coward" and "contemptible." Well, whatever the consequences may be we are not going to be "bluffed off." Here are the facts, briefly stated: Mr. A. D. Ivie stated over his own signature last week that Mr. J.

W. Fagg told him Monday, May 2, that Chairman Joyce and Sheriff Clark told him not to show his books to Democrats. Mr. W. R.

Dalton makes affidavit to having heard the remark niade by Mr. Fagg to Mr Ivie, and Mr. Ivie says there is still another person who heard Fagg say Chairunan Joyce told him not to show his book, adding that Chairman Joyce did so in the strongest language. Mr. Joyq3 had stated over his signature that he did not so advise Fagg but that he was using his influence to have Him show the book and that he had written letters on the 14th of April to all the deputy sheriffs asking them act with fairness to all.

Notwithstanding the denial he was prompt to attempt a justification of the deputy's conduct. Mr. Fagg, three weeks after the serious charge had been against Chairman Joyce and Sheriff Clark, came into print and said he wa's solely responsible for his action. Being told by The Review that the public wanted to know if Chairman Joyce and Sheriff Clark had told him not to show his book, as he had told several citizens during the last days of April and on the 2nd of May, he then came into print and said they did not tell him not to show his book. Fagg, however, did not say that he had not told citizens Chairman Joyce advised him not show his books.

that, So the facts are Mr. Fagg did tell the citizens wille the matter was fresh on his mind that Mr. Joyce and Sheriff Clark advised him not to show his book; Chairman Joyce and Mr. Fagg later denied that Chairman Joyce so advised him. Therefore when The Review said that the question of veracity was between the Republicans in the controversy we were backed by the facts for Mr.

Ivie has amply proven his contentions. The Madison Herald took the same view of the matter in the following strong language which cannot be misunderstood: "Mr. A. D. Ivie, chairman of the Democratic executive committee of Rockingham county, has issued a statement to the people, backed by affidavits from some of the best citizens in the county, which tends to prove that somebody high in the councils of the Republican party in this county has lied.

The article also intimates rather strongly who those high muckety-mucks are supposed to ba. The Herald leaves it to its readers to judge for themselves, but all must agree that there is something mighty "rotten in Denmark" when such crimes are perpetrated against the voters of a free country. Will the honest men of Old Rockingham stand for any such contemptible ructics on the part of those who have accidentally had a little brief authority thrust upon them? We are inclined to think not." Mr. Joyce rails at The Review simMy to muddy the waters and divert the attention from the facts connect(1 with the Fagg matter, and atmpts to answer and defend Mr. Fagg's reprehensible conduct by engaging The in controversy when Review has only made legitimate comment on the article of Mr.

Ivie, giving the facts connectel with Deputy Fagg's conduct. There is no getting a'round the facts that if Deputy Fagg told Mr. Ivie what the latter says he did the question of veracity is between Chairman Joyce and Deputy Fagg. If he should deny that he made the statement to Chairman Ivie in the presence of Mr. W.

R. Dalton, will Deputy Sheriff Fagg deny that he told another citizen of Leaksville township (whose name we shall be pleased to give Deputy Fagg or Chairman Joyce) that Chairman Joyce told him (Fagg) not to show his book and In to stand by his (Fagg's) position? While it is true that Mr. Ivie's article ddes not charge, directly, that anybody has falsified, but simply states the facts and allows the reader to draw his own conclusion as to who has told the untruth, and between whom a question of veracity exists, in no way does his letter raise a question of veracity between himself and Mr. Fagg, for the reason that Mr. Fagg does not deny saying what Mr.

Ivie said Fagg told him. Now, how does this raise any question of veracity between Mr. Ivie and Mr. Fagg? Does it not put the question of veracity between Chairman Joyce, Sheriff Clark and Mr. Fagg? Fagg was right when he first told that Joyce and Clark advised to show his books, and Mr.Joyce says term he did not, then does not that put a question of veracity between Mr.

Fagg and Mr. Joyce? On the other hand, when Fagg says they did not advise him not to show his, books, then does not that put a question of veracity between the two statements of Mr. Fagg as to when told the truth, whether it was when he said that Joyce and Clark told him' not to show his books, at a time when he possibly had not reflec ed and considered the 1 possible consequences to his party and party leaders for such advice, or at a later time when he denies that they told him not to show his books, when he has had time to reflect and consider the consequences to his party and party leaders, and the predicament it put his superior officer and chief politician in by such intermeddling and bad conduct on their part? then if Mr. Fagg made two statements, about it, it is still 3 question of veracity between himself and Mr. Joyce and Sheriff Clark, and the reader must remember that Mr.

Fagg has never denied that he told Mr. Ivie, in the presence of Mr. W. R. Dalton, (as well as another citizen), that Joyce and Clark advised him not to show his books.

So much in justification of The Review's statement which Mr. Joyce takes umbrage at. We stand on it and have nothing to tract. It is plain to the most casual reader that Mr. Joyce Has lost his temper.

He uses intemperate language, words that he would never utter except in the heat of passion. And in losing his temper, as is generally the case, he has "lost his head," also, "Whom the gods wish to destroy they first make mad." The Review has always held Chairman Joyce in high esteem and regarded him as a very clever man personally. In matters political we are of the opinion that We have a right to hold him as chairman of his political organization responsile for conduct, and his political organipation must necessarily answer for the conduct of its officeholders. We No not propose to be deterred from criticising the Republicans -when in our judgment such criticism is warranted--because of his pc.sonality, (The facts in the case are that some of the Republican leaders in this county have badly muddled up affairs and would be glad to sidetrack the attention of the voters from thei mess they have gotten into by bull-dozing tactics. The Review is a Democratic paper and proposes to show up the incompetency of Republicans in administering the affairs of this county even if we ard hamstrung for it.

Watt on Frilay. The program for the afternoon was very interest(n) one treating of the life of Jefferson Davis and incidents during his Presidency. Mrs. Robt. Johnston added much to the interest of the afternoon by telling of the preparation made in Danville for the coming of the President of the Confederacy; the fitting up of the beautiful old Sutherlin home, and of seeing President he drove through the Main street, of Danville.

She is, perhaps, the only member of this chapter who ever saw him, and one can imagine with what pride she remembers the occasion. At the conclusion of the literary program, Mrs. Francis Womack sang a Confedearte song with such sweetness and pathos as to bring tears to many eyes. Mrs. Watt served a delicious luncheon to Her guests.

CONFERENCE IS ENDED Largest Gathering in the History of the Conferene. The Woman's Foreign Missionary Society of the Western North Carolina Conference held a preliminary meeting in Main Street Methodist church' on Thursday. The sessions have been of much interest. Th number of delegates and visitors in attendance was the greatest. yet known in the history of the conference, there being present 178.

The programme was carried out in full, and all present received much help. The music by the Reidsville choir was unusually good and very much enjoyed by the conference Mrs. Robertson, the president, opened the service by a short talk on the Conferene motto: "Presonal Consecration." The names of the delegates were enrolled and some other business transacted. The beautiful programs were distributed and the Conference sung before adjourament. sons, evening service was well at(ended and enjoyed by all.

Rev. L. IT. Mann held the devotional Setvice. Addresses of welcome were made by Mrs.

L. T. Mann, Mr. -11 Lane and Rev. Dr.

Mann. Mrs. Blanche Carr, of Greensboro, gave the response wel; the. Mrs. Robretson's address was very encouraging, for she told of the growth of the (woman's work in the last thirty years.

Friday evening was of special interest to the young people, and the report of Margaret Foster Society by Miss Maie Hendrix, and the address of Miss Mary Pescud were of great inspiration. Saturday morning and afternoon were given over to reports and other business. The Sunday services were a great (help and inspiration to all who attended. Long before the 11 o'clock hour the main auditorium of church well filled, although the weather was disagreeable. Splendid music was rendered by the choir.

Dr. Gilbert Rowe, of Tryon St. Church. Charlotte, read as the scripture lesseventeen verses of the first chapter of Romans, and Rev. William Hedley, of the Baptist church, led in prayer.

Dr. Rowe was at his best and held his audience from beginning td end. The Praise and Testimony service at 3:30 was a very impressive one. The Missionary address 8:30 was again a master-piece. At the close of the service, Mrs.

Goodwin read resolutions expressing appreiation for the manifold courtesies so graciously extended to the canterence by the Missionary Society and friends of Reidsville, etc. Commemorative Monument to Be veiled at White Plains, N. Y.

Deafness Cannot be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an condition of the mucous the eustahian tube. inflamed, When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give one hundred dollars for any case of deafness (caused by (catarrH) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure.

When the Sterrett receives her equip ment and takes on beard a dozen or 50 of those long. destructive torpedo tubes it is a question of naval science whether she could wake that final dash and deal a fatal blow to so formidable a fighter as the United States battleship Florida, which also made her maiden plunge on the same day.
