SATURDAY JULY rs. 1891.


Our neighbor the Every Evening
treats our remarks in an unusually
serious manner wherein we stated
that it "told Mr.. Bullock, what fool
he was making of himself by purchas-
ing American made tin OF American
ore, in an Americanmill and 10y Ameri-
can hands" AS a matter Of fact, our
neighbor did not use these exact
words, but the tenor of its local report
after calling on Mr.. Bullock and put
ting him through chatachetieal OK
animation about where the ora came
from, and the tin solution came from,
and that Mr.. Bullock knew nothing
about where they came from, fully
warranted the language used and oven
more pointed. Our nelghbor then
pats Mr.. Bullock on tho back and says
'he ls a practical man; he knows
more about tho quality and market
value OF piece OF tin-plate at q glance
than a newspaper man could learn in a
year and he knew when he bought that
tin-plate just what no was doing, and
whether or not he was making a good
thing out of It,
We have no cause for disputing all
contained In the foregoing quotation.
We have held all along that Mr.. Bull
Lock was practical man, and knew O
good thing when he saw it. Just so
Va saw this American tin, which he
bought from Ritter & Co., of Philadel
phia, and which the Messrs. Ritter hac
sent to them from Pittsburg manu-
factory. The tin pleased Mr.. Bullock
because.it was better tin than the
same grade Cone eross) Of British i'm
ported tin, and lower In price than tht
same grade of British tin. We rathel
think Mr.. Bullock knew all about wha
he was doing. Tho assertion that tn,
fools In the case were those who Yotet
Tor members OF Congress who pusseC
tho Mckinley bill, which taxes the
American people Sl5.0O0,000 n yea
for the benefit Of tho galvanized iroi
manufacturers" is entirely presump
tuous and gratuitous.
We presume the people who voted t
have tin plato manufactured in on
own country instead of going to Eng
land for all we needed, like Mr.. Bul
lock saw good thing in it and vote
for 1t md from present appearance
they will never have any reason to rt
greet that vote.

1.-THE other error consists in the
declaration that American tin Is being
made OF American orc in an American
mill and by American hands. This is
. purely gratultous assumption. Who
says so2 Mr.. Bullock does not. He
bought tho tin in Philadelphia for
"Amerloan tin," but he didn't know
who made 1t nor whether any part OF
L was Of domastic material. Livery
Evening.
Then we understand from our neigh
Dor that we must not believe that
American tin is being made here un-
less We actually SEQ the orc of which
It Is madn, mined here, and see 1t
smelted and rolled out from American
mills. In the same limo of argument
We might say that neighbor knows
nothing about where tho paper and
bther material used in its Office is
manufactured. AS matter of fact
the paper Is made here but the Every
Evening does not know that.
1t knows, however, that paper ma
ehinery is made in our own city, and
used in mills on the Brandywinc, the
rumbllng Of which can be heard in its
office; IL knows paper is turned out
from those mills in large quantities,
It uses that paper but unless it saw
the paper come from the calendars
and sent to its Office it docs not know
that Its paper did not come from Lon.
don. Even if it saw all this il does
not know wheTe the materials and
ehemicals for the pulp OF which tho
paper is made came from. But one
khing Is certain the mills exist and 1t
knows that employment is given to
hundreds OF hands and those hands all
help to keep up our home markets.
We have not seen them but we have
reason to believe that LauiImen Il Cos
mills where Mr.. Bullock's tin is said tc
have been manufactured exist in Pitts
burg Pa. and that they employ hun
areds possibly thousands OF hands.
Tho imprint shows that Mr. Bal
locks tin was manufactured In those
mills, the same as the Imprint on a
bale OF muslin or calico shows where
1t was manufactured. It's not likely
that American sheet iron manufaa-
turers would import sheets OF British
hn-plate and put an American imprln
on them to show that they were manu-
featured here. Suppose any how
that the orc OF which tln-sheatz are
made and the tin with which it is coat
ed were imported our country would
be the gamer on the account of the
Increased labor required, and labo,
makes the markets When that ii,
is better quality and sold lower thar
imported tin who suffers by it,

DIED FROM A saor WOUND.
An Accidental Shot Fatally Wounds
an Cid Colored Man.

An Accidental Shot Fatally Wounds
an Cid Colored Man.
An old colored man named Alexander,
who was accidentally shot by William NJ.
Palmer June %. died yesterday at his home
on Waters road near Thomas station from
the effect of his wounds
Palmer hal bought COW for butchering
from Alexander and went out to the old
mans place to kill the animal. The COW
was hidden in a lot of underbrush
and the negro after showing Palmer where
to stand to shoot the COW, went Iato the
brush to drive her out. He told the butcher
he would not go near the COW, but
would shake the brush to scare her out. and
ca ne in sight. Palmer followed directions
but Alexander didn't. He went through
the brush TO drive the COW out farther and
was almost directly behind the animal
when Palmer fred.
The cow fell, and when the butcher went
over to see if she " as dead, he heard groan-
ing in the brush. he FASTENED on and
the ground with five Of the buck
shot in his body. He immediately
got his wagon and carried the old man
TO his house. He then came into the city
! and secured Or. Oliveros and took him out
| to the scene Of the shooting. Dr. Oliveros
| pronounced the wounds not fatal ami ex-
tracted all the bullets except one, which had
| entered the right side and glanced around a
rib. This the negro wouldn't let him ex-
tract.
The cow had been fatally injured by the
charge, and Palmer completed the JOB and
brought the animal to the psn and butch
cred it. A few days later he received word
that the wounded negro was suffering con
siderably, end he again took Dr. Olivaros
e. i'm, Tha . l.
bullet, which hadn't been extracted,
had formed an abscess. He re-
moved it and dressed the wound
telling the old mans wife that all that was
needed was to keep him from getting cold
Several days after Palmer again received
word that the man was still suffering He
called DR.. Wegefarth, who went out to see
| Alexander and had him brought TO
the Georgia Infirmary for treatment DR..
Wegefarth made the necessary arrange
! ments to have Alexander moved and then
went out to see him. The old negro posi-.
lively refused to so to the lnfirmary and
| DR.. Wegefarth gave him such remedies as
he considered necessary in his condition. He
didn't consider the man dangerously
wounded.
Nothing more was heard of Alexander
until yesterday, when news was brought
into the city Of his death. Palmer snrren.
| dered himself to Coroner Dixon, but the
coroner, after making careful and search
ing investigation into the case, decided that
the shooting was purely accidental and re-
leased Palmer.
When Palmer hred at the COW he had no
idea that Alexander was within forty feet
Of the place. The brush is so thick where
the accident occurred that it Ia impossible
to see any one who might be in IT, Had
the old man remained where he said he
would be the accident would not have hap
pened. Palmer greatly regrets the affair,
but he did all in his power for the man.
