GREER COUNTY.
Affairs in the Disputed Territory and the Figure
Buekskin Joe Cuts.
Arsrr, Try Feb 8 1850

To the Gazette.
In yesterday issue there is commune
cation signed Buckskin Joe, which in
some of its statements is calculated to
mislead those not familiar with the man
or men. The fact that s. c. Tally did
only receive few votes is not proof that
he is not representative of Greer county
sentiment. A few words in Justice to
Mr.. Tally will explain. this. There were
six candidates for the Office Of county and
district clerk. One of them had been
twice elected, and was considered by
most of the settlers, or nestors,
as they are termed, the cattle
men 5 candidate, therefore the neStors
were willing TO unite on one candidate to
beat this particular man. This they did
by voting for and electing Henry Wat
kins who was secretary of the county
Farmers Alliance. There were others of
the six who got less number of votes
than Mr.. Tally. Again, in speaking of
a mass meeting at Mangum, Mr.. Works
says: by vote of l20 10 they ask
for lG0-acre homesteads - BuckSkin
forgets TO say that the vote was not for lG0
acres to the exclusion of the Gao
acre school land claim, but in addition 10
that. Now he wishes 10 exclude the
school land claim. There is quite a diff
ference. Mr.. Tally and those holding
with him are not wishing to exclude the
smaller claimants There is plenty of
room, and will be for a long time yet, to
get $50 acres without going on to sections
that parties have fenced for the sake of
getting advantage of two strings of fence
already built. 1t is really amusing to
see the arrogance with which
this man claims TO have
saved Greer county TO the settlers. One
would suppose from his talk that he
really had some hand in the matter,
when the truth is the county was organ
lied and in prosperous condition long be-
fore Mr.. Works ever saw it, and if ne has
any interest i'll the county l venture the
assertion that the tax rolls do not show it,
and he and his followers are only
waiting to get on to the soil
of the United States from which he
well knows they are barred by United
States laws, and still they ask for United
States law in Greer county. Poor fellow;
had he seen them in 1884 he would have
realized the full meaning of United
States law in Greer county, and have
seen the blue-coats with gIistening
bayonets there to enforce it. He claims
neutrality. All right; that is all we wish
to know. "He that is not with us is
against us. - n. ;. S.
