KELroN, Sept. 2O.-Mr. Editor Permit
mo this week to reply to Spiro. take il for
granted that the pumpkin did not represent
face with one eye punched out, although
that was the information l received. ! did
not add one word to the incident. AS you
know, Mr.. Editor, correspondent gath ers
his news from what he hears. and it is his
duty TO report it as he gets it, aud not add to
or take from, unless he sees and knows
that it is not the truth. If correspondent
was to make an Investigation of everything
he sent TO paper he would have an endless
task.

inform them that l have not aught against
them. AS have said before, the mercsn-

So far as standing to the rack, fodder or

not to flicker, ;f it took the last thing they
possessed,
Now l will say little about slandsrous
reports originating in certain part of our
county. As Spro was replying to me / take
il for granted that he meant that such
reports started in the .neighborhood of Kelton
or that was the man who originated such
slanderous reports. And right here, will
ask Spiro if he meant me? If he does, he
wields slanderous pen, and / will inform
him and all such, thai always try to tell
the truth. He certainly knows wh9 Kelton
Wheel is. If he does not, let him address
q note to Kelton Wheel, Keliou, Union
County, s. c., and he can find out. / would
like to have personal introduction to Spiro

there is no going back on the word. of the

cannot say whether or not the report in
Union County is true or not, because 1 have
not heard any person say that they have
heard merchaut in Union County say so;
