Turner also states that polities was not mentioned in the jury room. 1 think after any reasonable man reads his statement he will he convinced that his memory must be very short, for ho says in this e- nnee'tiou that all parties, including lie-publicans, Grvcnbackers, Democrats, Independents, white and colored, were represented. Now hu^ did Turner know that '{ 1 can tell ) o i ^ ^ Un^ ^ \ p | i ^pCa mal^ the rear, and Kill- and I were sitting in tho seceud row just behind Turner, and couTd readily prop our feet on the chair rewind ia front. It bin a man could be heard that distance ; in fact, i know he could, for 1 distinctly heard what he said. Some things 1 omittuJ to mention in nty lir.-t letter 1 will state now. Turner aud other jury men were interviewed by .Me La no aud Bo we n during our lock up in tho courthouse. Almost every morning when we would be ordered down to the basement story of the courthouse for refreshments, McLaue and Dowcu would meet us at tho bead of the stairwav iu tho nisi.- .-mil have a lutij; talk with Turner ami o:hcr jurymen, ami almost evcrv night. at a late hour, there would bo a knock at the door lor admittance, and we would opcu, and a large, old Mjuare built negro, about six feet two inches high,ftwith long gray hair, would call for Mr. Turner, and they would go out in the aisle and have a long chat; Turner would return with a couple of pint flanks of whiskey, and say that his old friend llcvcrly Nash, ex-senator ?f lliclilaiid County, had made liirn a present of them, and he, Turner, would take a swig cr two and then relate some eiieuuistauee.- that had taken place during the "good old llad'cal liuus" as he called them. i will admit that Turner is a right gcod "dodger." lie is trying to play the dodge on the irood citizens ot Spartanburg liko he tried to do on mo when in the jury rooui, but 1 hardly believe he will be able to do so. Now, as to Turner denying ccrtaiu facts which 1 staled in toy first letter, 1 say that lie is ju>t as villanuus in his language as it is absolutely false in lact. N w, Mr. Editor, L do not wish to bo deprived of the right of c tizenship, but if Turner wishes airy redress I reside at Joinsviile, and would like to see him personally.

"Was the trout stream dry?'' asked ouo of the interested listeners. ' Dry? Certainly not. Mow could I catch fish if the stream was dry? 'Well, I don't sco how you could suffer from thirst with a stream of water close at hand." "Water closo at hand!" repeated tho Kentucky Colonel.
