Editor Home Journal:
My attention has been called to an
article in the Huntsville Independent,
Of Dec. 10Th, in regard to the location
Of the "Unvcrsity Of South" and the
editor, in order to prove false posi-
ton in regard to said location, uses
my name as having introduced u "bilI
into the Legislature, at its present
session, to have these infected coves
fenced in at the expense OF the State
abiding to milk-sickucss. will state
that | Introduced no such bill into the
Legislature, and this statement Of the
editor is entirely untrue, and could
have only been written TO create Il
false impression in regard to said To-
cation. | introduced general bill
into the Legislature, to fine any man
who left down a fence that enclosed
milk sick, but tie bill was not for the
purpose Of protecting any cove allud.
ed TO by the editorial, and the point
proposed TO be protected is twenty
miles from said location. The editor
OF the Independent knows that there
have several hundred hands been at
work on the Tunnel, and the Srwa
nee Railroad, and no alarm has been
created, and no case Of mi.a.sjckncss
has occurred in this county Tor more
than twenty years.
Yours, very respectfully,
TAZE. w. NEWMAN.
