Mr.. EDITOR: Some smart Alexis,
sometimes from an over-estimated sense
of their own importance, and an uncon-
uuerable desire to figure before the pub
lie in venting their ideas, and of seeing
their names in print through the columns
OF some newspaper, overstep the bounds
of propriety, in allowing these incentives
to control their judgment, If they have
any, and either wilfully or IN Willingly
state untruths and jump to some very
far-fetched conclusions, not at all In CON-
formity to the facts. These reflections
are the result of reading a paragraph in
your last valuable paper over the sigma
ture OF s.Touch-me-not." Misstatement,
or rather insinuation, No. /: Swamp
Fox" neither wrote nor even suggested
one line or word of "Eilis'" reply to a
rap given him iI the INTELL1aENcER Of
a week before. Measurement No. 2:
che went over to one of his close neigh
bors (who had Just returned from a visit
to the young LADY, to find out If she was
coming" That has no foundation what
ever III fact. That evening Ellis mother
did call upon the family of her nearest
neignbor. During the conversation, in
cident to the above friendly call, when
conversation drifted to the late visit Of
some of the family to the home ofa young
male friend, where also was the home of
the young lady to whom reference has
been made, "Ellis'" mother did ask if
they heard anything of the young man
coming to visit Ellie that night. He had
requested her while there to inquire.
"Touch-me-not'' tried to persuade eel
lis" mother to tell him the young lady
was also coming. "Touch-me-not"
should not, as it indicates evil propensi-
ties, make ever harmless misstatements,
II such they are. Misstatement No.. 3:
That NO such 81 thing al Ellis being at
work bad aver been known before. This
so far oversteps the bounds Of truth that
no one, not dominated by q desire to state
idle freaks of imagination, could have
gotten it up.
In conclusion, Mr.. Editor, I should
not have noticed these wild, uncalled for
and-I need not say what else-state-
ments of "Touch-me-not," if he had sim
ply remained within the confines of truth
in reference to me, and have refrained
from bringing o young lady into the
matter. My reply has been called forth
more in defence Of this young lady than
myself. Nothing that "Touch-me-not"
could say could say would injure me.
but be must be careful how he in future
links the name or person of any young
lady with myself, who Is q of the most
beautiful and accomplished among my
acquaintance. ELLIS j. HUcKABEE.

e0f Interest to Wheelmen.

Mr.. EDITOR: What is the matter with
the wheelmen Of our city, Spring Ia here,
and We should have some races in he
month of May. Our track can be put in
tip top order, With q little scrapeing. The
citize6s should co operate with the wheel
men and each donate q small amount for
prizes, as it takes good prizes to make q
race interesting and to induce riders from
a distance to compete. Let's see how our
riders compare with others In speed.
Newberry has a neat one.ffth mile
track with a fine surface. Maxwell rode
q hslf-mile on rame In l 04i, which is State
record for that distance. Adams also put
the mile at 2.14 2-5, which is State record.
and was made on same track. Very good
for Southern men. indeed!
Wheels are bound to get cheaper, some
are already cheap enough, others too cheap,
but there always will be plenty of high
grades which will sell for $500 and Sis
It ie OK actly like buggies and pianos-the
best will never come down on q level with
the medium and cheaper goods. Wait
and see if this ia not true. Also show me
a Japanese $l2 90 wheel. K.

report for the season Of 1896 81. Ninety
Eve counties, including all the largest

The report indicates an increase of acre

The following editorial or quarrels
over the rem rs of deceased relatives is
slksn from tho st. Paul Dispatch.
aNothing can be more unseemly than a
family quarrel over the remains of a
deceased relative. and regarding where
shsy shall finally rest. These questions
sssrn to have become, more frequent. 1t
is only q short time since one of those un-
seemiy qusrrels became a notorious
scandal in Sioux City. Now one has
sprung up at Council Bluffs. where 8
brother and the wife Of the deceased are
quarreling over the final resting place of
a deceased brother and husband. The
gcandulons scene of sherif's officer and
an undertaken executing a writ Of re-
plevin. after the body had been buried.
aud then moved 20 another grave. was
Aensetsd. The courts Of final resort in
some OF the States have determined that
death dissolves the marital relation, 80
that the widow gains no control over the
remains OF her former husband for pur-
paseg5of burial. This seems to be an IN.
feeling disposition of the question, es-
pecially wheret he marital reiation dur
Ing a long series Of years has been an ex-
cssdingly happy cne. Few or none OF
the States have passed any statutes re-
garding this matter, but for the sake Of
avoiding scandal or unseemly conten-
lions, often at the open grave itself, this
matter should not be left in the unset
tied condition that it is. The rule which
has been established By the courts, so far
III il has been determined against the
vito, Is an exceedingly technical one and
repulsiye, TO ordinary feelings. A statute
should define the relation that results
rom death, and if anything is done in
chat respect, it should balm favor Of the
wife, nj matter what any technical rule
low may determine.
