MR.. EDIToR:-In Yesterday mornings
keoubllcsn correspondent signing
himself -. o." takes upon himself the
double duty of trying to pulverize THE
NEWS and your correspondent, Veritas.
In one tell swoOp of his mighty pen.
He takes both TO task for not supporting
the candidacy of Sheriff White, and
endeavors TO berate THE News because
of Its allusion 70 the organization OF the
republican central committee in terms
not suited to j Q.'s taste. The News
may have had reference to the secretary
of that committee. or possibly, to some
OF Its members. OF this am unable
to speak. In regard TO the
opposition to Sheriff White, however,
think tie editor of the News is entitled
TO as much justification tor his course
as may be acceded to the secretary of
the Central Committee. even had he at
one time bolted the regular nomination
for the important office of District
Judge, and spent hts time on election
day st the polls in the vain endeavor TO
defeat the Republican nominee and elect
greenbacker who had been endorsed
by the Democrats. Who does ]. 0.
mean when he says there are some men
in this county who have arrogated 70
themselves the possession of the brains
for the party In Lyon'coupty Does he,
as he says, mean to designate the parties
who got left!" In this case
the secretary OF the Central
Committee could be counted as one OF
them, but he certainly would not as
sumo to possess more brains than he Is
known to carry, as the deception would
be too utterly transparent. and the Re-
publican would have TO go TO its mask
pulling agaio. j. Q. alludes TO Veritas
as the power behind the throne. If he
refers To the Veritas who wrote the re-
cent anti prohibition articles that ap-
peAred in THE NBws. it afiords me
great pleasure TO say. judging from the
articles themselves. that IN my opiaion
Veritas is abundantly able 20 take care
of himself in any controversy that ].

prohibition or politics, Q. J.

Buckshot Figures.

At one of the towns In Mississippi
where we staid over Sunday q couple
of strangers got into a dispute about
the age of the earth. They were sons
of planters, and neither of them over
in q good-natured way, but ended in
a bowie-knife. and threatened to carve
the other up if his word was disputed
again. The other was defenseless, and
wisely held his peace. The man with
the knife sat down. and conversation
turned to other channels. By and by
the defenseless man got up and
lounged away. and the next we saw Of
him, half an hour later. he was resting
the muzzle of q double-barreled shot
gun against one of the porch pillars of
the hotel, and had US all covered. The
