The Chattanooga Times has on several
occasions complained of the proceedings Of
the "yeung man" about the APPEAL Office,
who is totally unknown there, but with
whom the Tunes appears to have an unpleas-
ant acquaintance. His last offense, accord
ing to the account given by our indignant
cotemporsry, was respecting the finding of a
watch-charm with the name of stephen A.
Douglas, 1905" upon it. The information
was taken from Arkansas paper, and if
there is any responsibility in the case 1t lies
with that paper, as the very erroneous state
ments copied at various intervals from the
complaining Chattanooga Times that the
smallpox epidemic in Chattanooga was en-
tirely over and no further danger existed, are
statement sfor' which the Times, not the AP
PEAL, is responsible. The Times discovers
that Stephen A. Douglas was not born
until 1913, but that does not say that a
charm once belonging to 4 relative of the
same name never belonged to him.
