EMS SENTINEL, Pickens @. H., s. q.
DEAR SIR; We notice in your, paper
repeated solicitations for items of in
terest, from different points. In com
plianoe with that request, "hetero-
goneous mass" was sont you from
Easley q few weeks ago, during your
absenceO which would not have been
sent, if the, author had, known you
were absent. Herdid mot wish to tax
your generosity, nor, in other words,
the patience of your readers-and,
therefore, at the suggestion of some
of tho leading mon in Easley, sent
brief notes on different points, believ-
ing as matter of course, that you
would select such us you would think
advantageous to your paper, and in
teresting to your readers. The edi-
torial comment on it was such as to
leave no doubt in tho minds of the
poople of Easley, that there existed
u prejudice, unwarrantablo against
Easley, and as such, all others are
afraid TO sond anything that they
might conceive interesting. You will
confer a favor by publishing tho "hote>
lrogoncous mass referred to, that tho
people may havo an opportunity of
Judging for themselves. Signed.

?. S.-Thcre arc doubtless moro in
tho place who would sign the above,
but deem this enough. If the notes
had been consigned to the "waste
basket" without comment, there
would nevor have been anything said
But tho editorial reflection has caused
so much comment, that this is deemed
i tho best course under tho circumstan-
} cos. If you can't recover tho items
: you can mako somo explanation, dc,
livoring yourself from the charges
made against you. Yours, with the
t best feelings, j. Q. SrockMAN.
