Augusta Ga., April 10, 1909.
E. C. DENTON,
Vice-President, .1. B. White Company, Augusta, Ga.
Stop squirming. Stop dodging. Meet the issue manfully and honestly.
You made a statement, and what is known in the sporting world as a “big
bluff.” The bluff has been called, and when you are asked to show your hand,
you try to hide behind subterfuges because you know you have got nothing in
your hand. You tried to prejudice the community by referring to us as “cer
tain little local semi-jobbers.” Nobody but you knows what you mean by it.
The commounifcy has asked us. If you mean to indicate that we are half-job
bers and you intended to be humorous, you have made a failure. If you intend
ed to be insulting, we decline to notice it. We are not going to say that your
manager is a semi-manager, because we don’t consider him that high. You
don’t belong to that class. You are far below that. We intend to hold you if we
can to your original proposition. You made a bluff about giving SI,OOO to char
ity,
The community takes it with some degree of suspicion, when you offer to
give anything to anybody. We were taught at school to suspect the Greeks
when the Greeks brought gifts, and when the J. B. White Company offers to
throw away SI,OOO, the community is looking for what part of the wood the
colored gentleman is located. You have offered to give SI,OOO to charity if we
could demonstrate that the percentage of the reduction you have made on the
Omega flour is any greater than your average reduction in your other stock.
We accepted the proposition. You state you will allow any three reputable
men in the grocery business to make the investigation. Very good. Will you
let us name them, or do you propose to name them from your employees?
We asked you whether you would allow us to appoint one man, you appoint
another, and the two select a third. With your usual fairness, you have de
clined to answer that proposition. If you mean what you say, and are not
trying to get some cheap advertising, answer our courteously framed inquiry
as to whether you are willing to leave to three reputable grocery merchants of the
city of Augusta the decision of whether you shall give that thousand dollars to
charity or not, or whether you want to send to the city of New York for ex
pert judges. Then let the public decide whether you are still, as usual, bluff
ing the poor people.
Omega Flour stands on its merits. It is known in this community as the
very highest grade of flour, and it cannot be hurt by such petty flings as are
made by you when you state' it is “considered very good.” When you se‘l
Omega Flour for less than what you pay for it, you are not doing it because you
love to do charity in the city of Augusta, but you are doing it because you want
to catch the thoughtless and unwary by selling them something else far
above its value.
We await your reply with impatience.

W KILLED WHEN
POSSE ATTACKED
iegrd
SHELLMAN, Ga.—The finding of a
portion of a white man’s sltull in a
pool of blood in a negro cabin here
Saturday, and of the body of the no
grow owner of the cabin. Alfred Iver
son, behind his bed, led to the dis
covery that a posse entered Iverson’s
cabin Friday night and shot him.
Iverson is believed to have shot one
of the attacking party. No reason
for the killing of the negro had been
learned. According to Iverson’s wife
the posse consisted of four white men
who went to the cabin to whip Iver
son because he had quit work. A
fight ensued. After it was over she
says the men carried a body away*
