“I was passing Mr. Coving
ton’s office this afternoon when
he called to me that he wanted
to see me. I cfopped and walk
ed back two or three steps to
where he wa Covington said:
“You have bee hounding me in
in your paper long enough and
I am going to stop it. I know
the man who is putting you up
to it.’ At this I started to speak
to him when he struck me in the
face. He struck me several
blows, knocking me down, and
and then jumped on me and
struck me several times more in
the face. He then got up,- kick
ed me once or twice and backed
- off, saying, ‘Now, then,.use your
j gun!’ I replied; ‘You dirty
> coward; don’t think I am the
man you are. I don’t carry a
gun.’ I got to my feet, and
I about that time Sheriff Love and
f
l others ran up and took hold of
I him.”
: Justice Meeks asked: “Did
| he have a gun, knife or other
> deadly weapon?” and Mr. Hol
| brook replied: “Not that I
) know of;” and in reply to the j
■ question of whether he thought;
, Covington assaulted him with in-1
j tent to kill, he replied, “No, sir, j
J I think not.”
\ Justice Meeks then said that;
| In simple cases of assault and;
\ fighting the usual fine in such1
! case v. as $1 and costs, and as1
> this case “seemed to be within
5 the law” he would assess the us-!
J ual fine of $1.
* Covington professes to believe
■ the editor of the Democrat is
persecuting him for some spe
cial reason and That we instigat
ed the Free Lance article. He is
mistaken in this. We have noth
ing whatever personal against
Covington, and our so-called
“fight” on him was only through;
reproduction from other paper
referring to his political record. >
We felt that the people of John-1
son county knew him better

to know more about the situa
tion in Johnson county than we
did, but we gave him what infor
mation we could, . and he also
talked with other men in Clarks
ville. At the time we did not
know when or how the informa
tion was to be used, or whether
it would be used at all. 'The
Free Lance has not yet, to our
knowledge, secured a solicitor in
this county, although the Demo
crat has accepted several sub
scriptions to the paper in ac
cordance with the advertisement
v/e have been running.
The Leader, published at La
mar, also advertised that it
would accept subscription to the
Free Lance and has no doubt
also sent in some subscriptions.
We wish to make it clear that
the editor of this paper never
has had any personal animosity
toward Covington, and called at
tention to his political record on
ly. We have never mentioned
his private life or business af
fairs in an unkindly wray, and
would.not under any circum
stances do so. We &ave never
had any personal feeling against
him and Covington can have no
thing against the editor of this
paper personally, but only on ac
count of its reference to his po
litical record and reputation.
WHEN COVINGTON MADE
AND REPEATED THE STATE
MENT IN A COURT OF JUS
TICE OF JOHNSON COUNTY
THAT HE HAD INTENDED
TO MURDER THE EDITOR OF
THIS PAPER, AND WOULD
STILL DO SO IF IT IS NOT
EDITED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH HIS VIEWS, IT AP
PEARED TO US THAT THE
COURT OR THE CITIZENS
MUST CERTAINLY TAKE
SOME NOTICE OF SO OUT
RAGEOUS AN INSULT TO A
SELF-RESPECTING, L A W
ENFORCING COMMUNITY.
i\o particular notice nas Deen ta
ken of it and he was assessed
the lowest possible fine.
Many persons have come to j
the editor of this paper with the
advice to get a gun and shoot
(fovington. Some of the same
have no doubt told him that he
did just right in assaulting an
editor who would use his paper
to criticise his political record.
Many good men, of course, sym
pathized with us sincerely but
there has apparently been no
feeling of public responsibility
in the matter. The editor of this
paper is not a “gun toter.” The
laws of the state make it an of
fense to carry a deadly weapon,
and it has never been our ambi
tion to be a desperado.
As we have stated, this has
never been a personal matter
with us, and-as the public seems
to h'ave little concern in it, we
wish to state here that THE
‘FIGHT” ON COVINGTON BY
rHIS PAPER IS STOPPED,and1
my further responsibility in!
:his matter rest with the people
hemselves.
Whenever it may be necessa
•y to mention his name in con
lection with any news of impor
ance to Johnson county it will j
>e absolutely without bias or
>rej udice, and *we shall refrain j
Tom any editorial opinion on his
lets.
