/ have been requested this week to
set Mr.. Rogers right In the following
matter, and, though ii Is OF course Of
local character, Mr.. Rogers claims that,
as he has no paper with which TO de-

neigh Dor in NOr.h Carolina, where my
home IS in summer. 10 take his part
and place him before the people once
more on the same footing which 10

The article which appeared in the
hshevllle Cleaner Of December 10 Is as
follows aud refers TO the failure OF toe
editor OF the paper TO secure ticket 10
the home talent production Of Julius
Cesar"
OUR EDITOR VERSUS ROGERS.
The work OF home talent upon the play
of 'Julious Caesar would no doubt havs
been little more successful had the dis
tinguished manager carried out his point
bv sending TO our editor complimentary
ticket as he intondei, bat faultlessly and
with little regard 10 our writer, was even
placed in such position he could not 90
anything, and the conseq uences was we
nave lost one OF the best criticism, which
no doubt would have been well approved
by our worthy public by the writing OF an
unknown hand that was not there 10 give
a write up In The Cleaner. Mr.. Rogers

doors of the Berkly hotel and while Mr..
Rogers stood brsoed up against It's doors.
Mr. Editor rave him a raklng over which

The remarks were brief and to the point,
that were made TO Mr. Rogers in person,
but yet he scenes very loya in his estima-

know him and see him often while In
my mountain home, and say That II Is
unfair TO use the columns o! a news
paper to injure Linn AID ruin him right
there where he is best known.
The never dying truth is that ina
very first sentence In the editorial IS
not only unjust aud vituperative, but
toxic aud a6OlicaL No one can re-
alize more than Mr.. Rogers the power
OF the press.
Yet he does not fear Il. knowing that
he is right.
Mr.. Rogers would no more trample
on ian noble brain above his own than
you or |. lie hates TO trample on such
things anyway and track them around
over his office when he wants 10 keep
IL neat and tidy, and tramplnS on
brain that was above his own Is thing
that he has not done for years.
He feels the same about 'an IN
known hand that was not there, hs
would not trampIe on that either, ana
he wants 1t generally UNDERSTOOD thAs
ne IS a tender hearted man aud i0nd OF
little children and pets.
The editor, OF course, pays higa
tribute TO journalism, its brain power
and keen intellect, but be forgets that
Mr. Rogers feels the same toward
journalism, and he had no idea that

A ticket would make his NE such
