Nichols Trouble
The Wayerosa correspondent of the
Savanna!'. News fills his gun full cf
powder and shoots with his eyes shut.
The boomerang story about trouble at
Nichols is not the first time ho has
exaggerated reports from Codec coun
'Qiyyhk'h were not complimentary to
us. A s-ypd reputation is wortli some
thing ami we Trust that he will no v
stab us at long range? unless ifis evi
dence is prirr.a facie.
There was a little disturbance at
Nichols Imt not enough to write a
double head line about.
It seems that some of the employ
es of the Southern Pine Lumber Cos.
had been trespassing on the proper
ty of certain citizens by cutting
trees across tlie : r fences and doing
other damage which it seems they
could not stop, and a meeting of citi
zens was called with the intention
of taking action in the matter out
of which this grew a good deal of
talk. It was reported that the citizens
had ordered the Southern Pine Cos. to
leave that section within ton days or
th re would be trouble, and that the
Company had forty rifles and other
munitions of war sent out to Nichols
la defend their property aiula riot
was expected, but those who inform
us do riot substantiate the report.
