Editor of The Herald and News: Al low me to correct, through your col umns, the mention and consequent1 cou censure, in my article on "Unwhole-Mo some Literature," of the News and mn. Courier on account of its supposed ber failure to print my note to it relating to Jeffries and Johnson and their ex- p ploits. I learned yesterday that the Cot News and Courier did publish my com munication in its issue of July 7-with what comment, if any, I have not' learned. I left home early that day, and so missed my copy of the paper.. I see no reason to retract anything Ile wrote that paper; nor do I see any Itr reason to qualify what I have writteln concrnin som ofthe literature in- tur: dulged In by the Sunday News, but ITh must acknowledge that I was mistak-Th en in thinking that the News adwh Courier had ignored my letter, andpr must add, that therefore, that paper does not deserve the fling I made at it toe :on account of such supposed treat ment. I wish to add, further, that I admire the magnanimity of the News ~and Courier in givng circulation to C the sarcasm of my note of July 5, dat which was all against it.

PERRY COOK. A Man Who Bore Up Under Heav Physical Affliction Without Mur mur or Complaint. J. Perry Cook died at his home, ii West End, this city, on Friday nigh shortly after 9 o'clock. Mr. Cook had been in bad health fo: several years, -and during the pas number of weeks he had been in se rious condition, and the end was no unexpected. Mr. Cook was the son of Jacob Cook and he was born in the Prosperity sec tion of the count yabout 55 years agc He married a daughter of the Rev. J. C Boyd, and his wife and several chil dren survive him. Mr. Cook had been living in New berry for about 15 years. Prior t coming here he was engaged in farm ing and after coming here, and up un til the time his health failed, he wa engaged in cotton mill work. He wa formerly United States marshal. During the past several years hi physical infirmities bore heavily upo him, but he held up under them with out murmuring or complaining, do ing as best he could the work whic] came to his hands to do, and showin a fortitude which not every man woul have displayed under the handica with which he labored. For some tim past he had charge of the'circulatio: end of the Columbia Daily Record 1 Newberry. He took pride in this worl and he made of it a success here, an his work was appreciated by the Dail I Record and by its numerous Newberr subscribers. The Record reaches New berry at 7.25 in the afternoon, an with the excellent delivery systei which Mr. Cook had established, hi sons, among others, being carriers, th paper was in the hands of the sul scribers in a very few minutes afte the arrival of the train and the sut scribers had learned to look for it bc ,fore supper and to await- its com ing-because they knew Perry Cook force was always "oil the job," as th newspapers say, and as Perry Coo liked to express it. Mr. Cook was a member of the A, sociate Reformed Presbyterian churcl This church has no pastor in New berry and the Rev. C. W. Kelley, pas tor of the O'Neall Street Methodis church, and a close personal friend c Mr. Cook, and always a sympathize with those in affliction, was with M1 Cook during his last illness, ani officiated, together with the secret or ders, at his funeral.

President Childs was admires by Mr. Cook and he and Mr. Cook Wer, friends of long years' standing, an< when he was informed of Perry Cook' death his expression was one of sym pathy and his request was that he bi allowed to do anything in his powe: to assist in paying the last tribute o respect to his memory. The reques that the trains be stopped was mad' through Mr. E. H. Aull, past sachen of Bergell tribe, Improved Order o Red Men, and Sachem Jno. K. Aul Mr. Childs said that he was only tot glad to comply with the .request o the Red Men, and he not only sent special coach for the accommodatioi of the party and stopped his trains but, without request, he wired trans portation for the family of the deceas ed. Such sympathy, as shown by suci good deeds, is highly appreciated no only by those who were accommodat. ed, but all the friends of Perry Cool -and he had hundreds of friend: throughout the counpy. The Red Men and Odd Fellows had joint meeting in Klettner's hall at 1.31 on Saturday afternoon, preparatory t< taking charge of the funeral. 0. S Goree, M. N. Padgett and H. C.
