Editors Banner -Contrary

V is to my feelings, I must once
more, through your kindness and
and begging the indulgence of a
fair minded public, notice an aril
cle or two in the last issue of the
Solid South,
The editor indirectly says that

injuring his bus'nesa. This I pul
^ c *. v P ’onounce a he out of tvhma

folly *ay that I ever secretly or

even for my own personal ad
vancemeut hi any way. I know
that anyth big, howsoever moan, he
may say about me, will only raise ;
in the estimaFon of good and
'■ esp e ciable people, ba», to nave my;
private eha: acte" assayed in any j
sueli a way and without a cause
must not pass by without notice.
Si'll again he says if there are ft ay
fleas on h ; m he “caught them three
or four years ago when we were ly¬
ing for him.” meaning me. I must
say it Is ihe first time I ever heard
that be lied for me. lie certainly
did it wdhoot my knowledge or
consent, or authority. A man that
publicly acknowledges to lying on
any subject and that without being
accused is not wowin' of be 1 e* in
any flung. False in one false 'n
all.
He says st.'dl firtber on that his
associates are ‘of the llealesa var e

a-gury that Pis associates can say
the same tb'ng about h'm.
V :' i ho s.v r ■> ‘The fact is he

thor Lv for accusing me of w:iting
certain articles under c.e-taiu norn
deplumes. Why did’be not give
it then? lie has sought to do every
other thing he drought I didn’t
want, why so generous in this? The
reason, my ft lends, is wo plain to
demand even a passing notice
Again i pub icly demand it.
In another p aee he says that I
do not ‘’even int'mate’’ that T was
not the author 'P-acMcal Ea ¬
rner,” The p-esutnpTon is that?”
men are innocent of any accusation
unt’l proven to the contrary. The
charge is supported only by his
word without the sl'ghtest -‘author
itG’ or evidence from any other
source, and he has-acknowledged
to lying tor mo and what do you
suppose lie would do aga nat rae ;
False in one false ia al!. Produce
