After two weck* we have an
'other explosiv? SIIKLT. from n wri

1 'To sta.', oar by avia--- th nt he
?regrets the necessity of having to
"give further notice to the I urdu ti

"young Prophet." Now "?'?,..1 Hop-1

maken wanton attack upon io:
paper without provocation, lt i-'
unreasonable to supposa that we j
will romain silent. NY o have only i
answered your first epistle and j
now propose to say II few words < .
No. 2.
Ordinarily tlie nato of anony
mous writers, is a matter of little
consequence, but since you have ,
sworn eternal hatred to thi* paper
and thut you will "curse" and "use
all your power" against us, would j
lt not he more manly to come ont
over your own signature? NV" dis
like a secret enemy, und since we
have been so unfortunate a- lo un- '
ns to incur your eternal displeasure,
We WOllld like tl) know you.
?since' you must figure in the
newspapers Mr. Clod Hopper, we
arc orry you did not soe lit to ex
plain sonic things mentioned in '
your former article, v o- Institue >,
it would have Interesting to
know why you -.-id the democratic !
party is "di fnnot}" you might also !
hjive giv.-n the qiialiiica(ions nee- '
'.?ssa; ,before one could "pas-- and
repa<-" j,, yonr Tammany Hall,
indeed, several of ymir former ut
terances would bear explanation,
but you have left these things
. nmi resumod to ucl ns con
science keeper for tho farmers.
Now Clod this a big job yoe. have
on hand. You may bo un adopt nt
"skinning your own foxes" and for
augb ^vo know other peoples foxes,
but rhon you get up and
proclaim thai Ibo farmers of
Laurens County are cd* your stripe, j
you offer thom tho grossest insult
1 'Jin t eau bo given. ( fall
them fools, knaves-anything,
butta ver say that any number of
Tuon in Laurens County are of
your stripe, it is a slander o:i Hie I
farmers.
But yoe, proceed to remark con
corning tho editor of tho ADVKUTI- !
SEK
"And if Iiis true sentiment- and
"the secrets n: bis heart could bo
ascertained "not a beut nf xymjxt*
thy for a /ar tm r could be /omni.'
While it i- not our eu dom to
stood in high places and proclaim
ourselves the friends of farmers
and pour out honeyed words, as ls
tho-custom of some politicians, who
are canvassing for political prefer
ment, yet every sensible man
knows that Ti fi-: Anvi-.KTlsiiit Isl
supported in a large measure
hy farmers, abd unless the j,' pros
per we cannot, tithe expenses of
the government bear heavily
upon farmers and brings depres
sion, noon: feels it sooner than the
newspaper. lint Wu want tho !
farmers to prosper from a higher
motive,than self-interest, and in or- (
der to do >>, we warn th m to be
ware of siu-fi sat r ry politic ?ant a
?"Clod ll >|-p r." Tinto will show
w ho oro the r ti friends to tho far
mers, und who pretend friendship
in order to keep a hand in the pub
lic crib. So far .i : tho n hove re
mark is concerno I, ive -imply ?ny
"Clod Hopper" that you has'e made
u statement, knowing when you
tmade il, that it was not true. Von
do not believe it, norean you make
others believe ii.
Ho far as we can soo tho whole
power of'd ied Hopper" appears to
be turned towards n determined
effort'to place Tnt. A i>\' EKTISKK
lu n false position bef.n-e the far
mers. Those who have read this
paper know that wo have never op
posed the farmer-;, ii?;- haVO WC
ever Opposed the Ile rough or
ganization of farmers, hui we have
time and again urged the members
of farmers organize th.-M not to
turn their Clubs into what a cor*
tain louder would term "hot beds
to facilitate log-rolling."
Wo have also lime and again ?aid
that the ni ijority of those who be
long to ti 0 "fanner's movement"

form, but so long as nue rn- two
men dictate everything that is
