Other Matters,

plain that be holds a lien on a certain part
of the outfit of the Hollow Rock Record,
and ii he will state that his notes repre-
sent all the stool; or value Of the Enter
prise and its outfit at the time it was mov-
ed to Mckenzie, and that Mr.. Cole did
notfumish any money to aid in purchas-
ing the Enterprise, or that there has not
been an understanding that Mr. Cole
would see that the purchase money was
paid, we will publish that statement.
Nh. MoRae says he sold to Allen and
Fryer and took Their notes. Allen says,
"I bought it myself, giving Mr. McRae
my notes for same. -
We understand that Nh Cole was the
man behind Allen-who really bought
and moved, the Enterprise to Mckenzie,
We might have been mistaken about the
face Of the transaction, but we are not far
from the real truth of the matter
Mr. Allen says, "lIr. Cole neverwas in
terested in the paper or controlled its ed
itorials,"
Mr.. Cole says, "You will please print
the enclosed statements from your fellow
citizen A. @. McRae and w. J. Allen Of
Mckenzie, Whicb clearly ShOW the
trWth."
Mr.. Cole, then, endorses fully Mr.. AL
lens statements,
We charged that Mr., Cole was running
the Laborers' Advocate, a sub-treasury
organ, at Mckenzie, and later at Paris,
where it died on his hands
Now, let Us see if he was running it.
We will, if necessary, produce a letter in
regard to it, written by one Of Mr.. Coles
friends, which. willconfrm this statement
and show the connection of Mr. Cole with
it at Mckenzie and Paris,
At present we want to call attention tC
Mr.. Coles letter to "Brother" Gwin, il
confirmation Of what we say, and IN con
lradiction of Mr.. Aliens statement so full
| ly endorsed by Mr.. Cole.
