RIOT IN BURKE!Mill
gjtT We are happy to inform [
brother, (Jriner, of the Statesboro .
Eagle, that we are completely inde
pendent of the “biggest*’ back-
hone that over grew in Ihrlloeh j
county, as a friend sent us one a day j
or two ago out of a 2H<) pound hog, j rfi r \ T>
and generously cut at that. If
brother (Jriner will come over, we
will see to it that he has one square
Uieal of backbone, with a few links
of chitterlings thrown in.
IT Lust week we stated that
we were not informed whether Col.
Boykin Wright, present solicitor-
general for this judicial circuit,
would be a candidate for re-elec
tion. We are no\v able to state
positively that he will. We have
always been opposed to rotation in
office for the mere sake of a change,
so long as the officer incumbent does
Ids whole duty. And as Colonel
Wright has none this promply, faith
fully and well, and has served fhq
people of the counties of the circuit
often without receiving his legal
fees, we can see no good reason for
turning him out Just to learn some
new man something of the crim
inal law. Our motto is, “let well
enough alone.”
THEKD1T0U OK TIIE SVLVAMA TELEPHONE.
The public are already aware that
severe and bitter words have re
cently passed between the editor of
the Telephone and the editor of this
paper. The occasion for these
words arose from the fact that the
editor of the Telephone, who has
vainly aspired, even thirsted, after
legislative honors, attempted to
use a harmless jest to the serious
injury of an innocent person. But
possessing only sufficient courage
to insult gentlemen at a distance,
true to his natural, inate, in-born in
stincts of the craven he is, he failed
to utilize this which lie seemed to
have deemed his opportunity in a
manly manner, hut sneaked beljind
the serene of another whom he had
procured to do his dirty work.
We spoke plainly, severely, be
cause such an act was contemptible,
and could have been conceived
only by a mind lost to every senti
ment of honor or even common de
cency. We intended and thought
we had said enough to require a pri
vate, personal reply. But this mise
rable poltroon prefered another
course. Roiling up the putril'ying
tilth which lay in the shallow
depths of his little soul, he replies
by gathering together a mass of
abusive epithets, in which there
was neither wit or sense, and hurl
ing it at our devoted head. And
right here let us stop to say that his
reply, in conception, progression
and construction, in every part and
entire is anunmittigated,unqualified
lie. Believing that his reply had left
us no other course, we promptly ad
dressed him a private note, to which
this puppy utterly failed to reply.
We will leave the measure of such
a man’s courage and honor, who
can indulge in an unlimited amount
of vituperation and abuse and then
fail to respond when called upon to
the public.
In conclusion, we recognize in W.
L. Mathews all and singular the
qualities, instincts and proclivities
which go to make up the cringing
craven, the sneaking poltroon and
the consummate liar, and dismiss
him from pur mind as unworthy of
the further notice of a gentleman.

THAT THOSE WHO SAY ONE WEEK THEY REDUCE GOODS FROM $1 TO SO CENTS,
AND NEXT FROM FIFTY CENTS, TO 2S CENTS, ARE TELLING THE
TRUTH NO SENSIBLE PERSON RELIEVES.
In our business career we have always deliberately avoided this method of attracting
public attention. Whatever we state in the newspapers we hold ourselves ready to perform
lit all times and without qualification, and we an* happy to lie able to say truthfully—and
this is our reward as well as our tribute and compliment to the intelligence and common
sense of the people—that, the results in our business are most gratifying and satisfactory
Tills year, notwithstanding short crops and general complaint about trade, we have so far
sold more Goods than ever before, and we trust that tbe close of tbe season will Had mg able
to laakirtbe same report. We always keep on hand the FIN EHT STOCK OF 1)RY GOODS
obtainable, both Foreign and Domestic.
We do not take one article—the market price of which everybody knows—and sell II
away below Its value and pal throe profits on the ue.xt article tbe customer buys; but we pul
tlie very closest prices on all our floods. We will not allow ourselves to lie undersold on
Domestics, and on ibe Finer Grades of Goods we will meet any market la the United States.
