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

Editors, Cheraw Reporter:
In your issue of May 14th you
have in your editorial column
the statement, “Timmonsville

more tobacco than any other
town in the State.” Of course
you have been misinformed, as
no one could think you meant to
be unjust to the other markets
in South Carolina.
It is an established fact that
Darlington sold twice as much
tobacco as any market in the
State. Yours,
