The Martyr IIoath.

The Columbia Herald. published
near the scene Of the disaster that fell
upon Heath, several years ago, has
the folloTing explanation Of it. Sen
aior Dawes has been made the victim
OF q disreputahie aud Infamous
scamp, bat ne don { appear to have
The moral courage to acknowledge Il.
Never did a United states Senator
figure IN such a shameful and univer
sally eXecrated a mixture Of malice
and iaisehood Dawes is necessarily
ashamed OF his proiege but be ought
also TO be ashaHad Of himself Says
the Herald
I'VE are 10th to believe that Mr..
Heath made any such statement, but
whether be did so or not, we unhesi.
tatingly brand it as 8 malicious false
hood, "a lie ont of the whole cloth, -
and are prepared ~ prove the truth
ofour assertions by the Nest respon,
sible eitizens Of the parish, both Re.
publicans and Democrats, and by the
public records"
In reference to the burning OF
Heath's gin the Herald SAYS:
"fhe apr ralsers employed by the In.
surance companies estimate Heath
loss at 81 400, and are not disposed
TO pay a greater sum. Heath saws in
his statement that be saved S400 to
5000 worth Of goods in about twenty
minutes the assessment roll shows
that he had but' 500; consequently
be himself proves that he saved all he
had But eye witnesses think he was
not over anxious to have the prop
erty saved, in az much as .bs day
previous he carefully moved out OF
and away from the gin every pound
OBJECTION he possessed. Hestates, we
came within an inch Of being burned
up alive This was his own fault.
He was sleeping with colored girl,
and when the alarm Of fire was given,
be secured the door OF the room in
which they we're to hide his shame,
bat the girl became alarmed and
tried to break it open from the inside
and it was not until forced by the
bystsnders that he let her aud him
