An arliclc bearing THIS head appeared j
the lickcns SENTINEL last week, date
Brcvard, January &c, 1892. The articl
was presented Ms for publication, but W
have something more interesting to Civ
our readers. The SENTINEL Ccriainly toJ
not think very highly of itself or no suc
talSchood would have received attention
We shall not trouble our readers to read
IN our rcsccptnb!C little sheet, for any sen
Slblc person knows there is not one wor,
OF truth connected with il.
| For the benefit OF some who nav no
understand what we intend to bling ont
we will give few dots. The ius
ticc court was in session in Brcvar,l, and a
number of witnesses were summoned &c
| appear before that court. Among thrm
and very important one too, was q. w.
llnlcomhc, who we aflcrward learned had
violated the revenue laws in South Caro-.
lima, and was kept from jail only by giving
bend for his appearance mt the next term
OF the federal court, (aS has been stated in
recent number OF this papcr) lie did
not appear, however, and hls security Of
tered small reward for his arrest On
thc Eth ult., two young gentlemen Of this
county, Gone of whom had just returned
from PiCkCnS and knew Of the rcwartD
Duslcd themselves TO cross the Blue Ridge
ana inform two said to Lr /. $. marshalS
where and when Mr.. UOicombc could he
lollnd. Clhcy were to receive part of the
reward we iiiiacrS.anh(. Consequently on
the morning of the 1ith, nrmng them
selves nS If they were going among a party
OF cannibalS, they set out for North Caro-
lima expecting "booly," but to their great
surprise they fell short of their intentions,
aS you will find by reading our issue Of the
2lSt. IEc whole scheme was failure,
and the pilots did not receive their reward.
l'"or fellows, they had ridden through rain
and storm for n number Of days, and in
deed it was too bad that all their valuable
assistance should prove useless BOYS, do
not hc discouraged. Many gallant men
have laborcd on the battlefield for many
| dr"ary days, yes, weeks, and at last died
without rcaping their reward here. Many
OF our abiest ministers die without sccino
| the good they have accomplished. They
Will receive their reward in the fair LAND
| beyond. Likewise you all may re.
ccivc your reward after many days.
No true TranSyvanian would have writ
ten such an infamous falschood rs the artl
Gle We have just mentioned. The gentle
men from PickcnS would have been treat
ed as they should had they acted like sane
men. Why did they not remain until the
court adjourned and ask the sheriff here
!" assist IN capturing tne outlaw, as they
put it. Had they done this no trouble
would have arisen, and the poor boys who
pilotcd them over would have been recon-
pcnscd for their hcroism m-Transylvani.
Hustler.
This Is not our fight, and we published
the article referred to for the benefit of oul
rc&dcrs. We publish the whole of tho
above to let the people sec how completely
the Hustler confirmed what the corrcspon
dent OF the SENTINEL said about the affair
Congressman Shell has introduced in the
House bill asking for an appropriation OF
$500 for the Improvement of the c0ur
house building at Grecnvillc.
