The Agricultural Department.
One peculiarity about “Ripples” is,
lie draws very largely on bis imagina
tion. He lias given us several proofs ol
this heretofore in this discussion, and
now he gives us others. lie seemed to
be certain that II. F. Moats, from
whom kaffir corn had been bought,
was a relative of tile Commissioner of
Agriculture, and when corrected in this
he then became certain,—certain be
yond the shadow of a doubt—that W.
T. Henderson was a relative, and that
this was the reason the Commissioner
gave him so big a price for his kaffir
corn. Let me inform “Ripples” that
W. T. Henderfbn is not in any way re
lated to Commissioner Henderson.
guilty of himself, and to a greater ex
tent than Col. Henderson, for Col. Hen
derson did not enjoy the Ponce de Leon
spring water at public expense, which
Mr. Atkinson and the whole Legisla
ture did, at a cost of $2 per day. And
is not the reference to these resolutions
; and motions of Mr. Atkinson in the ,
J Journal, (which do not touch the issue !
between us) a mere subterfuge to avoid ,
acknowledging that Mr. Atkinson did;
not do what “Ripples” claimed great
credit for him for doing, and that great!
injustice had been done Col.Henderson? j
Let me suggest that “Ripples” prevail
on his friend, Mr. Atkinson, at the
opening of the present session, to move
for a thorough investigation of the Ag
ricultural Department. This he ought
to do even if he has a suspicion that there
is anything wrong in the Department.
As the mover of the resolution he
would probably be chairman of the in
vestigating committee. .Then if there j
are any fraudulent transactions going !
on in the Department they can be look-j
ed-into and exposed. Will Mr. Atkin-j
son do this? 'Or will he try to have aj
law enacted abolishing the Agricultur j

labor, lessens the danger from FIRE, and makes the
COST OF GINNING LESS.
Our Elevator is sold for less than half the cost of an>
other svstem of handling cotton.
“Ripples” spoke so confidently about 1 al Department, or to change the way
the relationship, and seemed so certain of appointing the Commissioner, with-
about all he was saying, that I wrote a out this previous investigation? This
note to Col. Henderson, inquiring about would dodge the whole question. And
the prices given for kaffir corn, and the if such a law'were enacted, “Ripples”
relationship to him of l ife parties from j and others could always say, there"
whom he purchased. I will get the Ed-1 wer§ great frauds ^n the Department

We have just received a car-load of
letter I received in answer from Col.
Henderson, as it gives a better expla
nation of the whole matter than any
thing I can write. It will be seen how
this, one of the most damaging suspi
cions and gravest charges “Ripples” has
made against the Commissioner of Ag
riculture, (like all ot hers he has made)
vanishes into thin air.

This would be a convenient way of
avoiding thb responsibility of making
good their assertions, Let an investi

found to exist, let the Deprrtment be
abolished, if necessary, or get rid of

The minority report was that, the

that l did to Henderson, it being near
the same time when I engaged them.
There was no established market price
for the kaffir, and 1 bought it as low as
I could at the time of each purchase.
