The RIght.er.way Rumpus.

The trouble between Mr.. s. d. Ritter and
the Chicago, Texas & Mexican Central rail-
road company increases. The company
persists in building through his farm, not
withstanding, they have been served with
notice of the injunction granted by Judge
G. N. Aldridge, of the llth Judicial district,
and they rely on the injunction granted them
by Judge Bledsoe, ofthe 9th judicial dis
trict, enjoining Rister from preventing them
from building the road through his
farm. Yesterday morning the grad
ing force which was csmped near
Mr.. Rltter's farm awaiting orders, were in.
structed to 60 ahead with the work, and
within ten minutes sfterward large force
was a! work tearing down fences and tearing
up the ground at rapid rate. Mr.. Ritter
did not resort 10 violence TO stop 1t, but swore
out writs las! evening for the arrest OF the
entire gang. Whether or not the force will
resume work this morning remains to be
seen.
Col. Z. j. Bower, ono Of Rtter's attorneys,
left late last evening for Waxshscnie, TO see
Judge Aldridge, and returned at late
hour last night with writs for the arrest Of
the entire grading gang which had ignored
his Injunction.

MIR. EDITOR: You were pleased to repro
duce in Your excellent paper u part of my
letter of Editorial Correspondence" prin-
ted in Baptist Courier of March 10th inst.
kfter the manuscript had LEFT my hands, l
found that / had made statement some
what inaccurate, and should have corrected

from March Sd till to-day. / wish to ex-
plain as follows:
Captain McFall and myself had no in
tention of misrepresenting any phosphate
company at all, but laughed over the matter
as 1t was exhibited at Port Royal harbor. 1
am informed that some guanos lave bona
fde factories in the United States, and make
and sell their own fertilizers, while others
do not do so, but just claim to do so. Now,
what said about Soluble Pacific" "Eti-
wan," ct al, was given just in way of Illus
tration of the statement ] was making. 1t
may be that my inaccuracy Of statement
extends to other brands mentioned in my
letter. If SO, 1 cheerfully make the correc-
tion. AS to the main facts I was not incor-
rect nor inaccurate. 10000 tons saw, and
out Of that pile, ground in Dublin and lying
there in bulk in Port Royal harbor, were
being sacked thousands OF bags and stamped
parta OF the country. I write this as 1 gee
from your present issue that my esteemed
and valued friend, Mr.. w. s. Ligon, finds
1t necessary to correct my statement, SO far
as SOLUBLE Pacific goas-''
The whole mater was regarded as joke,
and was published rs matter Of pleasantly.
AS you published the extract from Baptist
Courier you will please print the above that
1t may be seen by the readers OF the INTEL

So far na I am concerned, shall be glad
to discuss with my friends, not srancs

NJ. L. Poore, was drowned in Big Creek,
upon Maj. J. 7. Deans plantation, in this
County, on Thursday the 18th inst, while
attempting TO Cross the creek upon log.
He and an elder brother, about eight years
of age, were g,,ing to their fish traps, when
the little fellow fell in the creek, which was
swollen and some six feet deep, and was
washed down some two hundred yards and
drowned, despite the heroic but unav ing
efforts of his little brother to say. nim.
The body was recovered rs soon as assist
ance could be called. but too late to revive
the child. The parents arc deeply sympa
thized with in their sore bereavement.
