On This Day | Veracity of Political Ads Questioned
Author

The insurgents have been sending out some literature regarding some of the county officials, which for veracity, the Independent cannot recommend. For instance, A. P. Scofield was accused of allowing his prisoners to walk out thru the back door. The fact is two prisoners have escaped, and they did so by working their way out thru a rickety old jail. No direct charges were made, but the writer left plenty of room between the lines. Come out direct if you have anything to say against the county officials.
