MARTIN The following article by Editor Mar tin appeared in the Easley Progress of November 22 and is in reply to an ar ticle written by Joel H. M'llor: "We publish this week another com inunication from Mr. Joel H. Miller, which speaks for itself. Bro. Miller is andeavoring to enlighten the people of Pickens county through the columns Af The Progress, which we believe is a much better way than as lecturer of 'he Pickens County Farmers' Alli ince. We trust, however, that his ,ommunications will not have as dis ietrous effect on The Progress as his ectures seem to have had on the'Alli ince. Bro. Miller seems to hoot at he idea of his having received any 'tini cups." We stand corrected. It vas a gourd and a green one at that, hat he and his fourteen disciples got it the recent General Election when hey bolted the Democratic ticket and toted for Cole Blease in place of Gov trnor Manning at the Easley box. Of .ourse, to drink from a green gourd tastes bitter, but stick to it. Bro. Mil ler; after it seasons awhile it wI" aste better. Bro. Miller pretends not o see the point when we quote scrip ure to him, and when we speak of prassy fields being hard to cultivate lie following year. but we note that he aw the point* very quick when we luoted the oath that, lie took when he roted in the primary. So long, Bro, diller." The above article caused the fol owing reply by Mr. Miller: Dear Readers: After seeing I can't ret Bro. Martin on to the record of >ur public offices, insteaed he's squirm 1g, flouncing and resorting to other hings. I will carry you back a little to ihow you his tactics. First. Martin talls the writer a fish hooked out. of :le water. Hence "The Progress 'ond." Next he accuses the writer of ;oing over to the Populists, knowing 1 the same time that he went some vhere and got something. He thought hat Miller was like himself and would ell what he got. The writer doesn't oelieve in resorting to such tactics. vartin told it,and then I used it. Bro. Martin misrepresented the vriter in saying that Miller after be ng elected with a handsome vote then vas defeated and then went over to he Populists trying to make the im oression that my defeat ran me to he Populists. I have asked Bro. Mar in, as a gentleman to correct that vrite-up of his. I voted for the Popu ist ticket before I ever ran for office. Will you correct that please? or show he record of the election. That will 'cleasee you from under this fals 1harge. Brother Martin tried to nake the readers think I first went o the Progress with my communica ion. My first article rame out iz [he Pickens Sentinel and he copied t and commented on the same. Bro, hartin has got the "cheek" to create he idea that Miller prove(d disastrous o the Alliance. Martin. did not you -elong to the Alliance?

One of thi most interesting tables compiled fo the information of the legislaturo shows the per capita expenditure pe pupil on the basis of enrollment Ii !he 44 counties., "A careful study of the figures," Su perintendent Swearingen said a fev days ago, "reveals one of the pressinj Public school needs of the state, name ly, a state school tax to guarante minimum school facilities in every dis tr'ict.
