In 1902 Bors To Ripley County Democracy reports Newton Cox and Nicholas Cox, twin brothers, are near death as they lie dying in their home.
The piece accuses the Democratic Party of duplicity in opposing trusts while leaders including Louis Nixon push a shipping combine valued at 45 million dollars. The move aims to fund Democratic Congressional campaigns through the trust-backed venture.
Delegates to the Democratic county convention will assemble in Versailles to learn the candidates already chosen by the Cox brothers. Nick Volz is named for Auditor and the elder Cox’s choice. The younger Cox selects himself for Treasurer and Voss for his successor. The ticket aims for geographic balance as a unity vote.
Rowland Holman reported county indebtedness to Grant John son for one dollar and filed his affidavit in the Auditor's office. He collected fifty dollars for his investigation but after pressure from Newt Jackson he now sees inaccuracies in the books he swore were correct.
A brief literary dispute centers on how a book arrives with Johnson and how Holman recalls it differently. The King proclaims black is white, confirming the view that truth is defined by authority in this moment.
The dramatic scene in In the Palace of the King portrays King Philip of Spain wounding his unarmed brother and General Mendoza offering himself for murder to shield the king. The piece extols Mendoza’s loyalty while condemning the king’s treachery as the crowd witnesses a noble, tragic sacrifice.
The passage accuses Rowland Holman of bias and faulty reporting in Grant Johnson's books, claiming he swindled taxpayers by charging for a report that failed to expose crookedness. Bondsmen feel misled by his sworn statements and lack of thoroughness after Holman supposedly spent days examining accounts.
Commissioners held a meeting in the Versailles courthouse with about thirty four bondsmen present to discuss Johnson's bond and how to settle the matter with minimal cost. The session aimed to determine the next steps preferred by the forty seven men on Johnson's bond.
A meeting led by D. McCallum elected chair man with Charles H. Willson as secretary. They reviewed ex-Treasurer Grant Johnson's shortage totaling 11 263 91 after adjustments. Bondsmen offered settlements up to 9 000 but faced refusals from the Board of Commissioners.
The Republican county convention will be held in Versailles on Saturday, Sept. 4, 1902. Republicans from townships meet Aug. 23, 1902 to select delegates and alternates for the county gathering, with each township allotted a specific delegate count and a date on which to cast these selections. John Minger, Chairman.

A. J. Cottingham of Luckland Arkansas fell ill with dysentery while visiting his sister in Washington County.

Philippine customs receipts for the first four months of the year reached nearly 3 million in gold, over twice 1899 and higher than 1901.
