Interest in the tragedy of two weeks ago is still being manifested, and for this reason we publish the following letters on the subject: Boston. Mass., Dec. 23rd, 1905. A. R. N. Folger. Esq., P. M., Gaffney, S. C. Dear Sir:—I thank you for forward ing to me the paper quoting from the Boston Transcript. I had not seen the article In question, but allow me to say that I am surprised that such a paper as the Transcript or in fact any other paper, should nermit such a thing to be published. It is hardly ne ee<;sa-y for me to say that such sen timents as were expressed do not by any means voice the minds of the people. I was deeply moved upon reading the comments in the papers you were kind enough to send me. While I. of course, have the greatest sympathy; for those to whom Mr. Davison was dear, still the case of Mr. Bennett was a little different. He was a fellow; graduate of mine at. school, an usher at my wed'ling. and my wife’s cousin; consequently It hit pretty near home.' and on that account, what 1 have to say will possibly have more weight than if from a disinterested party: it is this, if the world had a few more people of the type of the citizens ot t Gaffney, who did so much for the milk sow members of that company, and they to Sam J. certainly could not have done more, it 11-24-tf. would he a more desirable place for' — 1 —— us all in which to live. store- wishing von the complimomts of End.” the season, I am.
