man who Is hundreds Of miles away.
But did not think that the Rev. J. =.
Sigh would so far depart from the pre-
eepts Of the gospel Of peace and broth
erly love which be IS supposed TO
preach
I cannot descend to the plane upoo
which be is said to have pitched his
attack. Z he thinks he has scored 2
point OF gained q victory By such cow
ardly proceeding he is welcome TO all
ne has made out OF it. I Isuppose the
newspapers that had representatives
there viii print what he s2id and I
hope they Will I want him TO see it
in cold type. Possibly ne will look over
it in his cooler moments and be able 70
realize how unkind and unChristian it
was to say what he said. ''Chickens
viii come home 10 roost.' I can 5i6e
my time
Some Of my criticisms Of his public
acts must have gone directly home OF
he would Dot have become 30 angry,
for they tell me be was mad I am
very sorry that he should lose MS tenn
Der. II I am not mistaken I have
heard 2ir. Sigh talk loudly On the
stump about tie hit dog slwaysyeipz- +"
want 10 say TO Mr. Sigh, how
ever, that so far as wanting TO break
MS lndnence In the county or trying to
cut OF his head, Is eoneereed, he is
laboring under very grave misappre-
hension. l was glad when he got to be
Rzilroad Commissioner and hope he
VIII D elected again. You have never
heard Of me fighting Newberry man
S- any paGion he could get. I have al
~ays stood 5y my county and her men,

political head DO no. coreern me in

and JEst sod tue Il i in position to
adgoeets those things that will be Tor
tbe good and tie prosperity and the
happinsss and tie peace Of al the peo-
pie. Does the Rsv. J. - Sigh occupy
that position? l. he cot trying with
might snd main 70 draw the lines and
STIR ~ the prejudiees Of the people? Is
il not for the purpose Of advancing his
own personal ends? L he not an office
holder, and does he not want TO con-
time in that pleasant vocation? Is be
not more concerned in advancing the
interests Of J. A. Sigh than those Of
the people?
Cromwell, I charge thee, fling away
ambition.
BY that sin fell the angela"
This ig not the first time the Rev.
J. 4. Sigh has tried to ipjure me and
The Herald and News. It is true, as
The Herald ard News said last week,
that politicians have no gratitude. No
doubt Mr. Sigh hates me worse now
than If I had never supported him in
County politics.
'If there can be crime
OF deeper dye than all the gentle train
OF human VICES, tits ipgratitude."
/ have not made it personal matter.
II be desires TO make it such, we'll and
good. I do not believe the people Of
Newberry County are going TO be led
about by the nose and driven like
dumb cattle. am not going 10 try il.
/ believe the man who does will get
left. I respect their intelligence and
power OF discrimination, and shall al
ways appeal 10 and rely on their CON-
mon sense, and their good judgment,
and their appreciation Of right and jus
tice.
would Ike for Rev. Mr. Sigh TO
specify. am willing to stand by the
record and by that to be judged. 1t il
u very easy matter in this day 10 make
charges, but let the people have the
proof. All that ! have raid il OF record,
and If you have not kept the files they
are In The Herald and News office aud
at your dispoaal. Let the proof be
forth coming and let the people judge
Remember this: The Herald and
News IL no man's organ and will con-
tinue 10 ray what 1t thinks, bearing
malice 10 none, and having only in
view the good Of all the people Of this
State. We know that peace and har-
uiony is not What you want. You do
not desiie 10 sec the white people
united. That would not serve yorr
ends 80 we'll aa having them stirred up
and their prsJudict,s :-.oased. II you
think you arc doing your duty and
serving the peopls bsst by trying 10
injure me, Why proceed. You will have
your reward. The Herald and News will
pursue the even tenor II lts way, uu-
by fear and unawed by your
aud ISLANDERS. The people
Will find out by aud by whether your
attacks arc iust or unjust. We shall
not reply TO you in kind.
