SUCCESSORS TO BALDWIN & FLEMING.
Placing Himself Squarely With The Presl-
dent And Tho Sentiment of Georgia. A
Review of His Campalgu Speeches In
' j^Vhlch He Advocated a Deduction of The
Present High Tariff
Editor Banner'Watchman: Having
recently received letters from my Con
gressional district, astounding me with
the intimation, “that there waa probably
some misunderstanding in certain por
tions of the diatrict,as to ipy views and
position on the tariff question," I beg the
privilege of making answer thereto
through the columns of your most valu
able paper.
That there should be the slightest mis-
understanding ou the part of my consti
tuents, or any portion of them, as to my
views and position on this question,
scorns to me strange indeed, when 1 had
supposed they were as well known and
understood at home, as tney are here in
Congress.
If such misunderstanding does reillj
obtain, 1 can only account fi.r it by rea
son of the fact, that last December, the
Washington correspondent of the Atlanta
Cinstitution in a conversation with me,
relative to the President’s message, mis-
•undcratood my remarks, and quoted me
wrrong in a letter to that paper. But
when bis attention was called to it, he
with promptness and characteristic fair
ness, wroto another letter setting m*
right beforeatb* public. In addition to
this, the Washington correspondent of
the Augusta Evening News, who heard
the conversation alluded to, wroto once
or twice to that paper giving my true and
coiTect position on the tariff question,
saying, substantially, “that I fully and
Enthusiastically endorsed the Presidents’
message, and was in full nympathy and
accord with Senator Colquitt in his po
sition upon the tariff."’
This would Mem to have been sufficient
to set me right on this question, and what
makes it stranger still, is tho fact, that in
my^Congreaaional canvass, every utter
ance I made relative to the tariff was
exactly on this same line. Craving par
don for this seeming immodesty, 1 will
tell you of a rather remarkable coinci
dence that obtained with roe last Novefo

tending an adjourned term of the Supe
rior court at Watkins* iff* in QconSe
county, and while there, the good people
> of that county called on me lor a apeech.
In speaking to them on that oc
casion I touched upon the tariff^ giving
my full viewb pretty fully.
When I had finished, the Hon. Pope
Barrow, of Athens, who was with me,
was k*nd enough to congratulate me,
saying, “that he waa glad that we were
exactly together on tho tariff, adding
that he fully endorsed the views I had
presented in regard (o the effect of the
present high and protective tariff upon
the f inning .interest of the country."
Some week or two afterwards, when
President Cleveland bad sent in bis mes
sage tr tho second term of the 4i)th Con
gress, Mr. Harrow met me and asked,
(jokingly of couiae) “if I had not been
served with advance sheets of the Pres
ident's message?" “No," said I, and not
having read the message, asked why he
made such an inquiry? “Well,” said Mr.
Barrow, t4 your views on the tariff, as pre
sented at Oconee court some two week*
ago, are fully in accord with the Prea-
N jdent’g message in advance."
This coincidence was so atriklngly re
markable, that in an editorial which ap-
peared in the Banner-Watchman after-
)|k wards, commentinf upon my tariff views
aa presented in my Oconee speech, men
tion was made of this lingular coinci
dent.
This, however, was hardly more singu
lar or etriking'than what obtained as to
, Senator Colquitt and myself. Never
having had any conversation with him
• on the tariff question,I certainly wu de
lighted, when listening to hie speech, last
tummer, delivered before the Interstates’
Farmers Association which had met in
Atlanta, he took the very same position
pnd announced the very same views upon
• the tariff, that I had in my Oconee epeech
and in a epeech made by me at 8parta,
Hancock county, the October proceeding.
In conclusion, I will only add that I
have always been charged with being a
man of atrong convictions, and bold
enough to stand by my convictions, and
i if I may be permitted to say so, I believe
£ that in true of me. Certainly I neyer
was accused of riding the fence, of being
■ -two aided, or of beta* of doubtful posi
tion upon any question appertaining to
-the trne interest of my people and my
country.

RIDDLED WITH SHOT.
PHOBABLT FATAL RESULT OF
QUARREL OVER AN OLD MULE.
There was a bad shooting scrape on
Mr. Nat Arnold’s plantation in Ogle
thorpe on Saturday night, in which a ne
gro named Monroe Pope came out second
best, receiving snch injuries aa cannot
fail to prove fatal.
The facta are aa foliowa: Pope in a
renter on the Arnold place, aa ia also a
white man named J im Shaw. Some mis
understanding had occurred between
Shaw and Pope orer the treatment of an
old mule. J ust what the precise details
of the trouble are could not be gleaned
yesterday. Anyhow, Pope went .Into
Shaw’s yard on Saturday night jnst be
fore sun-down, trd Shaw ordered him
out. Pope tefused to obey this order,
and things between the two men assum
ed a livelier turn than ever. Oaths and
abusive epithets flew thick and fast, and
Shaw sent for his gun.
Pope refused to leave the yard even
when tho gun arrived. Shaw according
ly fired, and Pope was terribly wounded
in the face. The gun was loaded with
small shot, no fewer than seventeen of
which are said to have lodged in Pope's
brain. Both tho negro’s eyes were shot
out, and the man's injuries aro such as
to warrant tho conclusion that the shoot
ing must have been done at very short
range.
We are informed that Pope was still
alive yesterday morning, which is rather AJ
extraordinary from the fact of his brain y
having beon perforated. Instances of
this kind are very few. Only last year,
in a neighboring county, a negro woman
had hor brain smashed by a chair in tho
hands of her husband, and small portions
of tho brain came away. This woman,
however, is alive and hearty to-day.
According to a medical authority another
woman, in Boston,^ Mass., once ran an
iron bar through her head, from temple
to temple, and yet recovered.
From what we havo been able to as
certain in regard to Pope’s case, howev
er, the probabilities are that he is dead.
Shaw is still on tho Arnold place; and
will, ao is said, be ablo to justify the
shooting.
Later—Since writing the above, our
Crawford correspondent sends us the fol
lowing additional particulars. It seems
that Shaw had impounded Pope's mule,
foi doing which the negro went to Shaw"®
house and commenced cursing him in
the presence of his family. Shaw did
not desire any trouble,.but Pope, on be
ing ordered from the premises, picked
up an axe and rushed towards the white
man. It vu then that Shaw called hi*
gun into requisition. Pope was still
alive at the time of our correspondent’s
dispatch yesterday afternoon, and Shaw
had surrendered to Sheriff Maxwell and
given bond for hia appearance when
called upon.
Pope has the' reputation of being a
hard character, and has been insolent to
the whites before. The general vprdlct
is that he has got his just deserts,
