SIMMER EXCURSION TICKETS.

Ticket Agent, A. NJ. Moseley, charges
The Herald and News with making
erroneous statements in regard to summer
excursion tickets in its issue of July 25th.
The Herald and News has do desire to Go
the railroad, or Ticket Agent Moseley, any
Injustice. and his correction would have
been published in this paper II 1t had
been offered Us. We were IN error ID
stating that these tickets we're not yet on
sale. for as matter of fact, they were on
sale on July 25th, but as to the exact date
upon which they we're put on sale we
have been unable to learn, although we
annhed to 1.-The official authority OF
which Mr.. Moseley speaks. And we
might state that we talked this statement
of ours of July 25th over with Mr.
Moseley. and tried to find ont from hlm
when tickets were put on sale here, and
. told him who the party was that wanted
the ticket to Spartanburg, and who was
. told by Mr.. Moseley they were not on
sale. We desired to find ont the exact
>date upon which tickets were put on sale'
SO that if an injustice had been done any
one. we might make proper amends, but
we could rot find out and hencr we made
no statement.
But as Mr. Moseley has rushed into
print himself, we Will tell him exactly why
we wrote our article of July 25th. This
gentleman, whose name Mr.. Moseley has,
and who is truthful man, told rs on July
9th that he was going to Greenwood to
buv his tickets to Spartanburg. That eS-
cursion tickets had been advertised to be-
on sale at Newberry, but tha5he ehaSsp-
piled for them here and was told by the
ticket agent that he had no such tickets,
that he could sell hima round trip ticket
TO Spartanburg, but it would cost him
Sszsaa as*ba.sasv-ss 1~segular fare. Thls
was on July 9Th or 18th, ave have since
learned. The gentleman Y cannot tlx
which date. These tieRssss we're
advertised TO be on sale June 1st::S7al
Scxets shave been on sale" as Mr.. Nose
ey would try to make the public believe
or so long time, even from the lst OF
June, if he had the tickets and refused to
ell this gentleman, then the fault is. Mr..
Moseley's and not the railroads. It seems
hat Mr.. Moseley gave this gentleman no
xplanation nor intimation as to when he
would have them.
In our statement of July 25th we did
lot suppose there was any fault In the
gent, but that the fault was with the
s7ss,sssF, What we wanted to know was
e5$i $ilroad should put tickets on
eenwood before they were put
berry. This Mr.. Moseley does
fowi8
depenMoseley, the fare to Spartan
nd return, good to October
assS1s Sd, 1s S4.55, but at the time this gentle
nan applied for the ticket, and some six :
+ seven weeks after these tickets were .
6vertised to be on sale, you told him you
ould sell him return ticket, but it
7ould cost him $3.50, and at that time, +
S he understood it, tickets were on sale
t Greenwood, good for the round trip
or S4.55. =
We are done with this question now. +
We would have made the correction in so ,
ar as we were in error, on August 1st, of :
iur own accord, if we could have learned r
rom this ''offcial authority" when these
ickets were first put on sale here. That .
re don't know yet.
Now we have enleavored to give Mr.. :
ioseley the facts upon which our first 7
rticle was based, and we hope the expla- :
alton Mr.. Moseley desires is satisfactory. .
If Mr.. Moseley desires the name of the /
entleman who applied for the tickets, E
nd the names of the other gentlemen who =
card Mr.. Moseley say he could only sell
i'm round trip ticket for $3.50, he can
ct them by calling on the editor of this
aper.
