has seen fit to write letter to King
in which, after reciting the cause OF
his grievance, Mr.. Jones goes on to
remark
"Do you imagine that you and
your antecedents are unknown
The public begin to know you at
last as l know you. Processing to
be large planter, you went to
Louisiana as overseer of negro
workmen protesting to be large
land owner, you never owned
foot of land in yourlif processing
to have been q General in the
South ern army, you were subal-
tern of artillery; processing to be a
statesman, you are greeted with
ridicule whenever you attempt to
address Congress; protesting to
have done much good for the Mis-
sissippi river, the friends of that
measure declare that your asinine
stupidity on that question has been
a great obstacle in the way of this
measure of river improvement, and
? that on more than one occasion
your silly speeches and frivolous
bills have defeated all their efforts;
protesting to be a fighting man,
you backed down from Murray, you
, ran from Houston and when l met
YOU at the Presidents some three
weeks ago your cowardly eye dare
not look into mine, and you evaded
me, quailing from the punishment
you so richly merit; protesting to
be an honorable man, you give ex-
pensive lunches to young ladies at
watering places or to ''snobs,' and
, refuse to pay small bills to men
whose clothing you wear, and to
clerks whose hard services you
have had.
"You are a warrior among Quak'
9 ers, and Quaker among warriors
:. a fraud, sham, a standing disgrace
to the State that bore you, and t.
the State that you misrepresent
and I, therefore, publicly and de
liberately pronounce you to be
If liar and coward, a poltroon and
d scoundrel.

this by express, one by mail, AM
one by registered letter.
