THURSDAY. MARCH 1898.

We noticed in last weeks Lake
City Times an article casting ep-
athets at the editc:' of The COUNTY
RECORD, and attacking this papers
utterances regarding the recent
postoffice tragedy. 1t was nnr -
tention to let the article pass as
not worth the attention of a gen
tlemao, but the editor of the LAKE
City Times called to see US last
Monday and told us that, while the
article was his leading editorial, it
was written at the dictation of
someone else, and expressed pub
lie sentiment and not that of the
editor that he was a public SER
want, and as such published the
article at the instlgation of another.
Mr.. Clark furthermore said that he
had not seen anything in The
CoUNTv REc0RD that would war
snch an article, and he did not
know what his dictator was refer
ring to, but that he had been tod
it was one of the articles We had
reproduced from another paper,
as our editorials were directed III
specific terms to to the members OF
the mob. Continuing, he said he
knew TIE COUNTY REcoRD was not
@entirely full of .denunciaiions of
The people Of Lake City and vicin,
ity," as his editorial said, but he
had published that "for effect"
{ As matter of fact, there was
nothing at all published in The
CouHTY RECORD which attacked
anyone save the murderers, and
if occasion presented itself we will
say again what we have already
said about the assassination.
The claim that we have de.
nounced anyone who was not IN
the mob ia utterly false, aud was
known to be by the author of the
editorial in Lake City paper when
the article was prepared.
