Items of Interest Gathered from Various Sections by our Correspondents. Reply to Mr. Gore. Editor Union Times: I noticed an article in The Times published on the Gth of the present month (OccuPer) oy one ot your correspondents (Thos. II. Gore). lie says -while he was in the Santuc portion of our coun^, a good citizen of that section gave him rather a bad report of his neighbor, charging him for feeding a horse on a Sabbath day. He has reference to Mr. S. J. Davis, of Santpc, as being the person vrho got feed of me fv r his tired horse. I remember a gentleman by the name of Davis traveling through this sec tjon, I thipk it was on Tuesday, am pertain it was not on a Sabbath day, as he says, who called at my house to know if I could let him have some feed for his horse. I told him I could. The Santuc gentleman, Mr. Davis, put his horae in the stall and I got the feed out of my barn. I did not have to puty the f?dder through the crack pf a Jtouse w here the door was locked. The gentleman said he had a lurch fqr himself in his saddlebags. Af a hiij lunoh lie came into my front porch. Then as is usual with men wc hat some convtrsation. I do not renu-ui her all that we talked about, t >ok Mr. Davis to he a gentleman I know nothing to the contrary. From what Mr. Gore says in hi jottings, we must have been talk in about trusts and combines, as he eaj I was condemning them. Now, Mr. Editor, 1 always vri condemn trusts and combines, e pecinlljr when they are organized almost crush the life out of tho po laboring men, women and chihliv '111on Mr. Gore says I am holding the little which 1 have got in i grasp with such tenacity that t word charity is as sounding brass a tinkling symbol. I am trulv gl * . i i ?iw.1,1 fll ti,;. ilf ttliiC 1 Ulii uuic i?/ uwiM .... ... that I ha*e by my own labor hones accumulated, and I hope tout person in this community thinks tl I obtained it otherwise. >1 r. Gore quoting the words 4,rna inhumanity to man makes countl millions mourn." I cannot see si inhumanity in feeding a truve horse for the mere pittance thai received. Mr. Editer, it is truo that Goro did not directly personate in the article that you published, I have written statements hy neighbors that he told them I the person he had reference to. I don't know why he was asha to say in his article who he reference to being a hog or reguh in my opinion our community n more hogs with a regulator. V *** ^ u* JifA >v, *14 Hfc W -Hf- JM r?f k. H.
