STILL HARpINo on MY DAUGHTER

Junius, in the TribuHe, speaks
thus of DR. Rowan and Mississippi
Mills:
The We.son factory in this can
vars is a big thing and Rowan is
aoundsring under the charges OF his
opponents in regard to it. The fact
Il it is that Rowan is trying to be on
both sides at the same tune. At one
time hs argues in favor Of the mills
aud in few moments no argues in
favor Of the people. He tries TO con-
ceal the fact that he has q record on
the subject that is exceedingly dam
aging. His amendment to tho Mil
ler Bill fixes his status, and places
him where he belongs. No lodging
will avail him anything and no dec
laration as to his intimation will suf.
fee.
The SIGNAL once before this gave
this accusation against Dr.. Rowan
''tbe lie" which has not been re-
sented, and Junius, whoever he may
be, needs the same plaster over his
mouth. DR.. Rowan's amendment to
the Miller Bill is before the public,
and has been read from evory stump
in the county and no attempt has ev-
er been made to conceal it. Tee
truth is the independents, King, Nc
Neil and Bridewsll, have gotten iuto
trouble themselves on the factory
question; having given the county
away by the King and Mcneil COM
promise Of 1880, which exempted
more property for tho Mississippi
Mills, than the original radical law
OF 1872. Junius is an Insignificant
scribbler and is ashamed to lot his
name come before the public, but
sails under false colors to slauder
gentlemen. This way Of writing
under nom de plume is worse than
