Mr.. Slater;
Your statement about the watermelon
scrape Is all wrong. Believing that you
are always ready TO correct mistakes,
viii give, MS near as | can, u correct state
ment. Mr.. Mckinney, being II poor man,
has to work hard for n living. lie has II
perfect right to protect his labor. Some
bad men, or boys, had threatened to tear
up lis vines and lynch him. Under such
circumstances rs these, most any one
would have been on the watch. Now. the
boys, Williams and Huddlcston, being
nelghbor boys, had no bad design in going
in Mckinney's watermelon patch. lie
had invited Williams TO stop and get mel
ons any time when passing. The night
they were shot they rode up to his fence
and called him twice. lie did not answer.
WI Jams said lie Is sleeping I; we will
not disturb him; we will get II watermel-
on, and | will tell him the first time see
him." The young man who was with
Mckinney told him not to slIoOt-tlat the
boys had called him while he was asleep;
but, -witl.ou hailing, he fired and shot
them in the legs, yet did no serious dam
age. The gun was loaded with squirrel
shot. 1t was all stuff about buckshot.
This is the true story Of this great big
snake tale. The boys are both riding
around, rs usual, and not mad at any one.
So, now, if fools will hold their tongues,
and wise men say nothing, this Is a dead
snake. Mckinney says he would not have
shot If he had not been threatened by 9TH
crs. He thought they had ONE to harm
him, and, being frightened, caused him to
shoot. III.

Oyerton county boasts that not a muir
der has been committed within its borders
for more than three years past. We wish
we could say the same for Franklin coun-
ty, or, rather, that murderers could be
more certainly punished. In this connec-
ton we want to express u wish that the
carrying of pistols and other weapons not
allowed by law to be carried, could be
more severely punished. Instead of a
light fine, it ought to be severer. The
carrying OF concealed weapons ought to
be broken up, or, let every one have the
privilege to carry them. As it now works,
the law is 4 farce. An honest observer of
the law stands no chance. We think it
would be better to let all carry deadly
weapons. Better still would it be to lc-
galize duelling. If men want to show
nerve and bravery, let the matter be in
due form. A coward with 4 concealed
weapon can muster courage enough to
abuse and Overawe an honest brave man
who observes the law and carries no
weapon.

How is it that great bankers, like Dun
can, Sherman Il Co, who have lately failed
for about six millions of dollars, most of
which loss falls upon depositors how is
it that such big men are not mobbed, OF
sent to the pcnitentiary or, hung? Why,
if we were to fail for that much here in
Franklin county, we'd make our will ut
once and commit suicide in due form Of
reason. To fail tor so many cents is
enough to damn you with friends. and If
we had no hope or showing for the future,
and no 'promise-to-pay" stamped by Jc-
hOvah upon our brow, we verify believe
some creditor would get up something
criminal against us and fee some lawyers
to send us to the penitcntiary. BY Jove!-
its terribly inconvenient to be poor. You
have to stand in fear all the time of being
snubbed by those upon whom your honest
love had relied. Of getting nc invitations
to select parties; of not being listened 70
when you anxiously desire to be heard
of getting nc presents; Of paying double
wbiIast on borrowed money; of not being
..uic TO borrow money ut all; of getting
no thanks when you pay a debt; Of being
pressed ten times more severely thar you
would be If you had plenty; of not being
made prominent in public meetings and
getting your name in print; of being sus-
pccted and distrusted by those poorer tar
than yourself; of being counted common
when you are really fine at heart; of hav-
ing little sense when you have more than
those>wlio c~riticisc your mental capaci-
ties; of liability to steal because you are
in need. and then, Of being sent to the PEN
itentiary by some advocate who would
have stolen had he been tempted rs you.

the moral power to understand how poor
men can be so easily sent to the penitcn :

Wheat went up to 81 40 in Nashville q
few days since. under the news that the
crop out West had been destroyed by the
floods. But it has dropped down to Sl.2O
and $l.25 for sound, dry white wheat, Our
opinion is that's l will be the ruling price
for good wheat. A large quantity is be-
ing shipped from Lincoln county over the
Winchester 81 Alabama Railroad. We
fear that the farmers of Franklin county
will not make money by holding their
wheat back for higher prices. Neverthc-
less, some good judges think it would be
well to hold it. We Only give it as oar
opinion that one dollar per bushel will be
the ruling price, and u great deal of smut
ty or damp wheat will not bring more than
so or 80 cents.
