MESSRS. EDITORS: In my hrSt article,
which 7 wrote in behalf of alliance
man." promised you that would not
ask space of you again, unless forced to
do so. In the little sling-slang reply of
Farmers Som" feel that he has forced
me to ask small space in the columns OF
the welcome visitor, the 1STELL1GENcER.
Now, Mr.. Editor, l am not going to
sling-slang, hut am going to try to get at
the facts in the case, as the Farmers
Son. has denied some things which /
stated he said. Now, let's see if he hasn't
said something else. In his epistlc Of Oc-
tober 18th to the horny handed son of
toll, he says this: "It is impossible for a
farmer to make more than he ought on
his farm. He may so manage the labor
on his farm as to get more of it than he is
entitled, or get it for less than he should"
Now, Mr.. Editor, what does he mean by
that. Does be mean to say that Anderson
County farmers are set Of swindlers, or
would take advantage Of their laborers
and wrench from them their hard earn
ings and not pay full value for it. Yes,
that is just what his article says ifyou
apply the full meaning to the words
which he used.
Mr.. Editor, am inclined to think that
when farmers Son" was writing that
article he was living on Imagination, and
that the pen which wrote it was in unison
with his imaginary faculties, aud con-
veyed it to the paper upon which it was
wrote, for surely he would not intention
ally brand his friends as q set of robbers,
for what else would you call man if be
had taken that which did not belong to
him, or that which he was not entitled to
I am one of those men who think that the
farmers of Anderson County are set of
honorable, high-toned. honest set of men.
Now, Mr.. Editor, just little while in
reply to farmers" Sons last sling-slang,
I am powerful glad be was satisfied
with just the tip end of my Tail. For I
feared, as his reply was delayed, that
when it did come he would swallow me
whole, and had he have swallowed me,
he would have had some little In his
stomach that he needed in his head. He
seems to think that ham and cheese are
food to beget good and substantial
thought. and if that is so, please tell
him 10 take a mess or so. for think he
needs something that is calculated to pro-
duce thought.
Mr.. Editor do not know what he is
trying to represent by the walnut, unless
it is his head, and ain sure if that is
what he wants it to represent, there is no
good7 in the walnut. He is right when
be said that had no bell to ring
blow horn of morning sometimes
when see danger ahead, and the sound
of that horn is what has put his teeth on
edge.
Now, Mr.. Editor, his denial of what my
first contained is before the people, and
I have the verdict in my favor. I am
willing to admit that Alliance was able
to take care of himself, and, from what
saw of the little controve ersy, he did so.
Now, Mr.. Editor, he seems to think that
somebody is mad. assure my friend,
"Farmer's Son." that the "Son of Toll"
has no hard feelings against him, aud
hope that merit his respect, his love and
his friendship.
The Farmers Son. may wear his tail,
SO the people now make game,
And as for me whose tail is bobbed,
But I'll get thar all the same.'
Now, Mr. Editor, farmers Son" has
asked to be excused. will be by him as
the Irishman was who was kicked by a
Jack. Alter looking around his friends
asked Pat what he was going to do about
it. Pat said, "yes, and faith, consider.
ing tho source it came be is excusable.'
Son OF Toll.
