MIR. Elam Replies to Mr. Mich
olson.

Mr.. EDITOR: I am aware that
my article in Edgefeld Advertiser
of 7th March calling attention OF
grand jury to wrongs upon tho re-
records is sought to be used as po-
litical capital on the grounds that
I had no right to mention the case
because I had received my money
for said survey of Meriwether Hall
School District. Surely we do
ourselves great injustice as intel
ligent citizens not to concedo that
our other personal rights stand as
a bulwark for our monetary rights.
My declarations of principles and
purposes in this matter show by
the course have pursued that |
have sought redress or rebuke for
the security of individual rights
and the public good rather than
monetary rights. l repeat, Mr.
Reese and others stood as security
for that money, but when Mr.
Nicholson sought to annul con-
tract with Reese and others after
that contract had been carried
out, because was the surveyor
employed, / saw plainly snch eff
Edgefield advertiser. [volume] (Edgefield, S.C.) 1836-current, 1900-04-25

charges for actual honest work,
these I submit to the public as
basal evidence by which to decide
whether inaction of that jury shall
bear the appearance of duly con-
sidering the merits of my person
alrights, or whether to shield Mich
olson on the grounds that I had
been paid my money and there
fore should be silent about public
records &c.
Mr. Nicholson in his last article
would make much of my stating
that I5had placed in HE possession
my map, because, I then left out
how had had it placed there
|through a friend as I had said in
my first article, and that he and
that friend now say Nicholson
did not have it in his possession
for any time. Yet while every
thing was fresh to each of us, at
the time our friend returned the
map to me, Nicholson admitted to
mo that he had kept it awhile,
and to my purposelY pointed ques-
.tion how long did Nicholson have
the map, our friend replied he was
not certain but said several days.
This I stated at the outset, Ito be
denied by Nicholson at this late
day., although he had 1ambled
considerably in his replies to
Reese and myself for disavowals.
Of course it is sought to make this
bland denial pointer against me
for S. M. Smith, Jr., who has seen
proper to enter libel suit against
me on account of my last aggrea-
isive protest to have Nicholson
right the records: Mr.. Nicholson
knew that this suit had been en-
tered when he wrote his last arti-
Gle with the expressed avowal of
favoring Smith, thus again using
his official prominence to bias
public sentiment which under the
circumstances is but another In
yasion of my personal right to
be left unmolested in my business
or other relations, by public off,
cial conduct.
J; If. after thus truly stating my
cause, any should persist III shov
ling the money consideration a
me as the only thing I had a righ
: to demand, would most respect
fully advise that such shots bu
!, waste powder as they fall beneath
my platform of common sens !:

mington at S13 a. m. deserted its
trainload OF passengers ip the West
Yard this morning and started alone
towards Farnhurst John Finly, the
engineer. on discovering the peculiar
conduct Of his locomotive, reversed Il
and returned to the West Yard. The
locomotive was seemingly determined
not to draw a train Of passengers into
the measles infected districts OF lower
Delaware, and jumped the rails, max
ing il necessary for another engine to
be pressed into service. The train was
delayed one hour and six minutes. In
stead of leaving Wilmington at S.13
o'clock. the train left at 9.19
The wrecking crew soon placed No.

motive is now sulking in the round
house drawing deep sighs and fuming
over being conquered
Finly says that the coupling was de-
fective, and that when the engine
parted from the coaches in the West
Yard, the automatic brakes on the loco
motive made il impossible for the
engineer TO miss the coaches without
looking back, and that he failed to
do.

AMONG THE PLAYERS.

Those who witnessed the initial per-
formance of the Sawtelle Company at
the Opera House last evening were
we'll pleased with the performance.
The audience was large and the play
introduced was the five-act drama,
The Victorian Cross" The acting of
Miss Jessie Sawtelle was artistic, and
her costumes were rich and elegant.
The supporting company was one OF
the best seen here this season. The
speciality acts introduced were far
above the average. The bicycle given
away by Manager Baylis was drawn by
Miss Clara Grubb. of No. 3O9
East Fifth street. The method OF
drawing the wheel was novel and
everyone was satisfied. A wheel will
be given away in the same manner at
each performance. matinee and even
ing. All those who received numbers
last night will have a chance at the
other wheels if they are in the house
when the drawing takes place. At this
afternoons matinee the company will
render "A Country Courtship." To.
night the popular play, Lost at Sea,
will be the attraction.
