Editor, Darlington News: Whdnl slated in bit isst» of the 14th lost., that I bad been sndeaToring to publish a paper that would meet with the ap proval of the farmers (and at the same time statins my rea sons foe doing so) I also stated, in the same sentence, these words: “regardless of their poli tics.” Tou gave the first part of the sentence and left cut the most important part, thereby giving another meaning to the paragraph—a meaning that I did not intend for it. 1 here re iterate the statement that I have endeavored to publish a paper that meets with the ap proval of tiie farmers—regard less of their politics, at the same time I have not dote this to the exclusion of the other classes of our citisens. I lived and labored on the farm before I ever heard the name of Till man and my sympathies are yet with the farmers, let them be Tillmanites or any other kind of “ites”, and I will never knowingly advocate any meas ure that is, detrimental to their interests. If yon had stated that the JfiMMiujrerwas considered friend ly to the Conservatives I would have answered in the same spirit that I did when vou said it was “considered friendly to the Tillman cause.” Members of both political factions take my paper and they, subscribed for it with the understanding that it would be a county news- paper, an 1 not a political sheet. I am opposed to all this abuse that is filling the columns of so many papers and can not see where any good is to be derived from it. Personally, I am not touchy” ab< sidered friendly to cause, for some of my best friends in this county are re formers, though am glad to say that they are not of the “hot headed” kind. Tou did me an injustice in our statement about the “dou- le game” and “taking good care not to offend the straight* outs”, etc. I have always en deavored to make an honest liv ing and no honorable man will stoop to such a game as you allude to. The Tillmanites give me their patronage because they know I am not going to insult them in my paper and hundreds of the Conservatives are doing likewise.' If the Messenger does not merit public patronage then the public has the right to with hold it, and 1 am willing for the % v:: - J at all “touchy’’aboutbeingoon- the Tinman COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES Of Tits Welsh-Nsck High School, st Harttvill*.
