MR. MILLER'S RE
PLY TO MR. 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,
