TO the Editor OF The Ncwyand Courior

| 10 the Editor OF The News and Courier:
win you kindly allow me a brief
space 70 rcDi" to Mr. D. 4. G.. Ouz,s's
| comments on me, and say that he is q
great big, putfcd up ass, aud were it
not 70" the notOricty he has recently
| gained by his slanGcrOu5 attacks upon
| certain gentlemen in this State the
public would never have known Of his
existence. in my article I made no
| unk!nd or unfricndly allUsioHs to him.
! wished to avoid personalities, in
winch the public are not Interested.
asked certain questions rs Il citizen. /
had right TO ask. lie could not an
swcr them truthfully without compro-
missing bis friend or friends on the
State board; 50 it. suited f,;o purpose
better TO cvadc the questions and call
me 'pimp" and Il "bOOL.lick." When
ne calls INC these names he lies, and he
does 50 knowingly. IF his statement
concerns the other subjects OF his vile
attacks arc no more accurate than his
statements concerning me they are very
bare OF truth. He says | lost orders
Tor glass on account Of wOrthlcssncss
OF my goods. Here he makes another
false statement knowingly. He knows
the orders were taken from me because
Of certain false and rascally rcproscnt;t-
tions made Ivy j. b. DouLhit to the
State board, and gwen TO one Of Dou-
thIta friends, representing u small Job
blnG concern, which concern imlncdi.
aicly placed the order given by the
noarh 10 my people to manufacture.
lie says ! obtained u "brcr privilege"
and fArmCd it out for scvrnty-livc dol
lars per month. This, too is false. He
says | am short to lh. State several
hundred dollars. This is false, or at
least this Is the first | have heard of it,.
| waS under Il heavy bond, and my
bohdSmcn are responsible. why was
not my bond sued? uc speaks of his
m0dcsty. Great God. Has he any?
The public doubtless will be surpriscd
TO know that this "Major' u. n. G.
Ouzts Of present and sudden notoricty
Is the same ID. a. G. Ouzts that Il little
newspaper in Charleston in 1890 had
dressed up like an ape in uniform, with
yellow trimmings, dancing around the
State. Modcsty? Yes, he knows as
much about modcsty as Bob Inucrson
did about Christianity. QUITS is bitter
ana very S0ur-dOubtlcss smnrLinr un-
der his recent chastiScmcnt: but let me
advise him to cheer up, study nnviga-
tlon and III the spring, manipulate the
guiding cords Ovrra mules back, lose
sight of the past and forget all about
intrlgucS, rebates and fat jobs, and put
away his l3-inch guns. lie has no am
munition for weapons OF this calihre,
and when the Legislature meets let's
have thorough investigation. Let
l5lucnthal x Beckett, Of Atlanta, bc
asked to testify rs to all they know Of
QUITS ant Donthit. Let MIR. j. O. \.
Moore OF Darlington, be invited to give
his experience Of j. B. Douthit's con-
duct us II member Of the board. On
with your rat-killing, Hazcldcn, Dan
Miles and Christ Robinson. Don't let
Il few political enemies sidc-track you
the people arc "wid yc."
