ANOTHER ONE NAILED.
Among the numerous
charges made against Judge
Blanton by Mr. Smith and his
friends which have been re-
futed and proven untrue, is
one to the effect that Mr.
Blanton could not carry his
own (Taylor) county. Mr,
Smith and his tools say that
the reason for this is because
the legal profession of Abilene
is against Mr. Blanton. The
following affidavit from an Ab-
ilene man whose word is
above reproach is worth con-
sidering. It says:
I, Sam RcnJ, upon oath state:
That I am now, and have been
for a long period of time, clerk of
the Woodman Camp and Secre-
tary ot the Odd Fellows Lodge
in Abilene; lhaf I am well ac-
utMinred with fudge Thomas
I.. BlanK n, and that not one
single charge concerning his
standing as a man, or judge, can
jmrlv hr brought against him;
rliar In dispatching business, re-
fusing to show special favors, but
treating everybody alike, snd
strictly enforcing all laws, without
Irar or favor, he has made many
enemies, who, two years ago, did
everything that money and effort
cduld do to defeat him; they
brought out against him one of
the most popular lawyers of
Abilene who had lived there
for over thirty years, got about
SOU people to sign his indorse-
ment, and advertised over the
district that Judge Blanton would
lose Ta\ lor county by 700 to 900
votes, hut with 117 lawvers speak
mg against him, fudge Blanton
c arried l av lor county by 327
votes, and Eastland county bv
9K7 votes, and carried every
county m his district bv an over-
V hiii-ig maj ritv The same
bunch are again fighting him,
and arc unjustlv trying to ruin
him. (Signed) Sam Kked.

The Avalanche does not
pretend to fix the blame but
nevertheless, the service being
rendered local telephone sub-
scribers is punk and not what
it should be. The local charges
made are sufficiently high to
afford first class service and
the public are entitled to make
a kick.
El Paso has either been done
an injustice by the statement
made by Mr. C. C. McDonald
in a recent speech to the effect
that if Mr. Ball was nominated
El Paso did not want the
Democratic convention, or Mr.
McDonald spoke without
authority. This is not the El
Paso way and Mayor Kelly
and his boosters should see
that this statement is corrected.
