E. dbnzales and Mr. Thomas Dixon, Jr. In a special story to the Savannah Morning News from Columbia, printed^yesterday, vfh? following telegrams passing between Mr. W. E. Gonzales and Mr. Thomas Dixon, Jr., were printed; the occasion grew out of statements made by Mr. Dixon in that city: TELEGRAM NO 1. Columbia, October 18. Thomas Dixon, Jr., The De Soto, Savannah, Ga; In the Morning News of Tuesday you are quoted as asserting the hissing of yourself in Columbia theatre was "a put-up job by Gonzales, editor of The State.'' I cannot believe you guilty of such mean and wilful slander. Will you, by wire, at mv exnense. affirm nr the report? (Signed) Gonzales. TELEGRAM NO. 2. Savannah, Ga., October 18. VV. E. Gonzales, 'Columbia, S. C.: You misinterpret my interview. The job to which I referred was the misleading report about the hissing, which you wired over the United States. I was loath to believe you guilty of such a thing until informed here that you are the representative of the Associated Press in Columbia. I do not accuse you of the hissing, but of something worse of sending out the extraordinary story concerning it. (Signed) Thomas Dixon, Jr. TELEGRAM NO. 3. Columbia. JJ-C ?>oto, Savannah: You are almost as unfortunate in form of interview as incorrect in fact. Any statement that I' sent or instigated the sending to the Associated Press (of' which I am not the agent) or otherwise, of any report concerning you is a cold lie. You may have been honestly misled, biit had you been willing j to credit'the South with having reputable journalists you would not have recklessly published without investigation this slander, with the accompanying imputation to me or the meanest motives. That is not the practice among men of honor in this or any other part of the country. (Signed) W. E. Gonzales. Last night the following telegram was received by The News and Courier from Mr. Dixon, (through his agent, who is with the company,) with the request that it be printed: TELEGRAM NO. 4 THAT WAS NOT PUBLISHED IN THE STATE. Fayetteville, N. C., October 19. To W. E. Gonzales, The Qfoto PnlnmKiti S P. editor of the Savannah News told me that his office received from you the lying: message about the Columbia hissing job. I take his word, not yours. The cold lie, which you so bravely proclaim, is at your own door. Will you acknowledge its paternity or try to wriggle out of it? Brother Robert Ogden will yet ' invite you to di.mer with one of his negro guests if you keep up your good work.

The :rane measured 6 feet 2 inches from tip to tip of its wings, legs 1 feet long, bill 8 inches. Most >f the feathers were blue, and :herefore he called it a blue :rane; but there were red, white, orown and yellow feathers. Such a combination of colors made it a very pretty bird. Mr. Bailey, in talking of the cotton ;rop, said in his section the crop was very short and about all had been gathered, ginned, packed and sold, but he was still holding for the price set by the Southern Cotton Association, and that he thought every member ought to hold, that the farmers could never get together again, if they failed to stand now. He says the farmers are in a better shape now than they ever were, and they ought to stick together, as their only salvation from the speculator. They musn't lose their grip now. Mr. Bailey became a little sad as he talked of farming, and said, "Old Beck is dead. She was the oldest mule in Union County. My father owned her, and I have owned her ever since my father died. She was a faithful old family mule, and I hated to see her die. She died with a cancer which came from a wart. She was at least 30 years old.''

Recently overtures .were made by the Lucas element" which they hoped would bring about a satisfactory solution of the matters in issue. They were in the form of a proposition by the Lucas faction to purchase all of the stock of Mr. Milliken and his _J friends and of all others who desired to sell at $170 a share, or if they did not desire to sell, the1^1 that they should purchase a]',n v the stock of Mr. Lucas a;ln'^r cut friends desiring to sellar'nt0(i her Same figtWS, Viz., $170 tjcatlier and r This proposition waSirse, and the , Cl,ivfffeliplfnfl.

The Lucas crowd declined this proposition and urged that inasmuch as the Milliken interests were unwilling to pay for the stock the figure that they, the Lucas people, would pay, they name a price that they would take. 'The attitude of the Millikens was that they did not care to sell any stock on account and they have declined to consider naming a selling price. A subsequent suggestion was received by the Lucas element that the JViillikens might be induced to ! otfer $165 the share, and to this | the reply was that if the Millikens would not pay $170, the ! price offered by the Lucas people I that they name what they would | take. The intimation was that ! the Lucas people might pay even I more. The Millikens have held i t.r> their original nosition that. : they do not care to sell anil have ' named no figure. Thus in spite of the earnest and sincere efiorts on the part of such men as Mr. J. Wilkins Norwood, of Greenville, represent| ing the Lucas element, and Mr. Ijohn B. Cleveland, of Spartanburg, who is friendly to the Millikens, nothing came of "the give and take proposition" suggested by Mr. Lucas and the minority stockholders.
