Mr. Tracy said the edi tor of The Herald and News had been wrongly informed about many things. He had not said in his advertisement that he would have a box at the en trance in which the money could be placed. He submitted this: His first hand bill distributed on the street, had said the admission was free meaning only for that night. Noth had been said about any other night. Ii anybody proved that his advertise ment meant anything else he woia give as a reward his tent and everything which it contained. At the first meet ing he had made a clear statement as to the matter of his finances. In the cities in which he had lectur ed. said Mr. Tracy, his usual method of raising money for his expenses wab by subscription. His expenses includ ing transportation of his tent. extra hire, personal expenses. and such mat ters. He had changed his method of raising money when he reached St-1th Carolina. because he was little k%wn in this state, Instead f so liciting subscriptions he had adopted the plan of charging an admission of live cents each night until the money was raised to defray his expenses. The expenses of transporting his tent. etc.. were between SToo and S:75. according to the distance. He had stated at the beginning of his ineetings. said Mr. Tracy, that any ole who cwuld not pay would not be refused admission on that account.

His receipts that night had amounted to fifty-nine dollars and some cents. and if everybody had paid ten cents admission the receipts would have been $120 or S130. If persons would use a little com mon sense and a pencil, said Mr. Tracy. they could figure out a few things. It was nobody's business how much money he took in. The people got their money's worth. If they didn't he was sorry for them. because they wouldn't get it back. He needed it in his business, he said. Every citizen who loved God and humanity ought to stop quibbling and fault-finding. If anybody had anything to say, let him come to his -face and say it. It the dispensary. for instance, had any thing good in its business. he would like to know it. .\r. Tracy reiterated his statement of the night before that not in a good many years had he felt called upon to reply to a newspaper criticism. or had he done so for a long time until he cane to Newberrv. "Yes I saw M1r. Lushman on the street today. but he didn't see me: she said. "He appeared to be pre ' ccLupied." "Huh. remarked her husband, perhaps. he was merely 'occupied.'"
