For the Times
WE MAY ALL BE BITTEN TO DEATH.
Mr.. EDITOR What has become of our Jour
nalistic friend "L?" Has he made an uucondi-
tional surrender to your correspondent ~. W.
T.?" We have waited and waited to hear from
him, until patience is no longer virtue. If
he has capitulatcd, he has displayed more judg-
ment than courage. Few can be found now-a-
days with sufficient norve t9 resist such an at
tack as that made upon hiBf TssYg georrespon-
dent while under the u aphobia.
"L," am afraid, is too hef<sJssaRf6b
We think, however, that J. w. 4. has made
some good suggestions in reference to The CANNES,
and very appropriately refers the matter to sour
Solons who meet at Columbia" We shall sec
how they are appreciated. However, we beg
leave to differ with him about "mongrel puppy,
whelp and hound and ours of low degree" con-
| suming chickens. That sounds rather fshy.
A rabid paroxysm strikes through his vitas,
and lie calls for "Auld mustard and young mus
tard:" "auld pepper and young pepper;'-
"big pepper and little pepper with such dis
tinction that one would readily conclude that he
was an inhabitant of the Torrid Zone, instead of
North Pacolct, which "L. has already told your
readers lays between Broad river and Pacolet,
and South Of The Sparanburg line.
Turning to our Journalist, under the aforesaid
influences he recognizes him Porpoise or
Hippopotamus, certainly nothing less than n
King Cooter. His incrodulity will not permit
him to agree with "L.' that Bu6aioes were ever
known to roam the hills of North Pacolet. 1t
strikes US that ho is about right, too although q
gentleman of this section proposes to proove by
history thai they did. We would like to know to
what history J. W. II. cites l.. as authority for
spelling NuckoNs since he repudiates Horse Shoe
RoJisson. Taken whole we consider so
much of J. w. Us. article as refers to "L.'' a
literary outrage
We think that "L." should 90 on with his
good work, particularly when the Times is so
ready to cxoneratc him from irregularities Incl
dent to Journalism. He has made start which
would have been the meass of sending your pa
per to almost every family North of Pdcolet.-
We are no "critic," and can see nothing in "L's'
writings to deserve such o scathing review from
the caustic pen of j. w. T., therefore we in
sist that l.. be allowed to proceed, and hope he
will do so undisturbcd.

this respect l.. is not by himself.
Health here is generally good. Pr. Mason W.
Smith tells me that during the last six months
he has treated about 25 cases of measles, among
all agcs--from infancy to 20 years-four Of which
were accompanied with bronchitis and inAoma

and terminating favorably OH the fourth day an

The T. & e. Drainage Company in this Section
has given rise to two parties viz D0m and
Anti Dam. With this exception, everything go
far as know, is quiet North of
PACOLET,
