This n accounts for the recent rise in prices. Ill* A glassware trust has been formed gg, and glassware has advanced 30 per cent. iB prices. Don't buy any until prices go down again. Italy has receded from her aggressive demands upon the United States, and has modified th?m. It isstated that Signor Nicolera, Min Si 1lPi^^Interior &n(^ ft i the Italian Cabinet is Hrked discourtesy in this j knew that I was Millers i Wj; and I submit that he should vmw^m not have undei taken this proceeding without giving me due notice, even though Miller had made the request. If this proposition be not true, then the sacred and confidential relation I of cliant and attorney is a sham and a mockery. But this is not the first time that the ethics of the profession have been strained by members of the bar in Miller's case. More than one inexcusable effort has been made to have him declare himself in this matter under promise of immunit y if he would implicate his co-defendant, as the enclosed statement shows, which I beg you to publish. W. J. Miller never mentioned this affair to me, although it is alleged to have been pepetrated after the last Lexington court. The first that I saw or heard of it was in the Record. And in all my communications with him, he never once even hinted at the matters stated in the said alleged statements Is it possible that the officers tailing his statement impressed it upon him that his attorney shoutd be kept in the dark as to its contents. He sent for me to take his last statement. I took Mr. J. W. Gibbes with me to be used as a witness. Finding that Miller was not an in- | extremis as I had supposed. I talked | with him and took his instructions for drawing it up. After preparing the paper I delivered it to him with directions to read it at his leisure so as to correct anj mistakes or misstatements which might have crept into it. He kept the paper for about ten days when he signed it in my presence and in the presence of J. C. Fort, Esq., of Lexington. I think that it is due W. J. Miller and to myself to make this statement publio, and to fulfill his last request to me. "Will you oblige me by placing it in as conspicuous a part of your paper as marked the publica tion of the article which calls forth ' ? a -r> mis comment, xvespecuuuj, John Bausxett.

The wet weather continues and farm work is fully two weeks behind f?sl \ ear. ^ We hear of a great many cases of la grippe. In some instances whole families are taken down at one time. The public roads in this immediate vicinity are in a very bad travel ing condition. "We hear many complaing that our County Commissioners have not as yet' appointed overseers on a few sections here. The commissions of the old ones have expired, hence the roads have to take care of themselves.

Your readers will remember that he was burnt out a few months ago. Ed is full of energy and will succeed notwithstanding his misfortune. On last Tuesday evening a difficulty occurred at Lattakoo Post Office between Mr. James Summer and Dr. J. W. Sandell in which the former shot the latter twice, the first ball hit the Doctor in the forehead, passed between the skull and skin coming out on the top of his heaji get toSnp^^BHS^BS^gecret that I had mad davit, that were that known the letters would be destroyed. He agreed and did J I LiJ * 1 1 Keep ray name secret untii jl naa procured tli6 letters. I procured the letters in this way. Some days after the reprieve of Leaphart, the Cannons received a letter from Sim Corley in regard to the matter, urging them to let him manage the case, and as usual I was requested to read and answer it. This letter was in a box with other letters, among which were the two letters from Rosa Cannon to her mother. I then took those letters and Governor Riehard son received them. Leaphart was lynched upon the suspicion that another respite had or would be granted him by Governor Richardson. How it got out I do not know. Mr. Graham and myself were tot * *111" T J i getner tne nignt ljeapnart was snot to death in Lexingtou jail, and we heard the firing. "We were persuaded to leave and go to Columbia, which we did. Being anxious about my wife and children, I returned to my home with a United States warrant to arrest a Mr. Ward, of Edgefield. While at my home I was arrested on a warrant charging me with perjury and forgery, which warrant was sworn out by Sam Drafts and E. C. Jumper. I was taken to Lexington jail. There, being afraid that I would be lynched, I made an affidavit denying some facts and pilliating others in the affidavit made Deiore. I was taken from Lexington jail on a writ of habeas corpus granted by United States District Judge Simonton, and carried to Charleston. From there I was sent to Richland jail where I have been iD close confinement until taken out on bail a few days ago. I could not get bail. Those who had been my friends were afraid to go on my bond, and others did not know me. Armed men had visited my house and threatened my wife and children in my absence, and a reign of terror seemed to have spread over the whole county. I languished in jail for nearly ten months, shut in a close cell about 4 o'clock in the evenings and not re leased into the corridor until near 7 o'clock next morning. This in summer as well as winter. No beds? blankets and floor answering that purpose. I could not eat the food given me except when forced by actual hunger and then it was forced. The Sheriff, if he fed well, could not make much on thirty cents a day. Sometimes a prisoner was used as cook. Then we were miserably treated. The mean food was more ?M?H?

Editor Record: In my comment < relating to the obtaining of the first i statement of W. J. Miller, published j in the Evening Record, I made ref- ] ence to the violation of professional f ethics on the part of Solicitor Nel- j ! 6on, coupled with a declaration that \ j might be interpreted as an insinua I tion that he had wilfully and deliber| ately done that which was unprofes| sional. Such was not the idea in| tended to be conveyed, as I well ! know he is incapable of doing that i which he knows is unprofessional. After hearing the cause of his re| questing Mr. Arthur to receive Mil- 1 | ler's statement, I am satisfied that ! he could believe that, it was his duty to have had that statement prepared ' by the Clerk of the Court, without notice to me, although my individual ; opinion iH the other way. j This qualification of my criticism j published by you on Saturday last is | 1 . t "VT1 _ __ t. _ T U.l.l I f due to loi. iNeison, who j. uoju iu j * j the highest respect, the more especially as I have his assurance that he ^ I in no manner authorized the publica- a | tion of Jliller's first statement. c Respectfully, John Bauskett.

Write freely, brethren, and speak your sentiments plainly, if you do it with that fraternal spirit that should characterize Alliancemen it will do is good and enable us to know how 3ur humble efforts are appreciated.
