CHAPMAN DOSES PRICE.

Chapman, Miss, Dec. 2.-Mr.
Editor; AS this is Mr. Prices last
dose, | want to give him good one
Open your mouth son, and swallow it
down like pretty boy.
He said, Il have just read dear Old
Toms last letter and if his name
wasn't at the bottom of it would say
Tom did not write it. it does not
sound like Toms writing at all. 1t
does not have the right ring to it. He
uses language that he never used be-
fore, and, epithets that do not suit
for Tom, but his name is signed to it,
so he certainly wrote it. -
Alex, want to call your attention
to one little item. Don't you remem-
Der the time you asked me to so with
you to the City of New York at the
time you made your celebrated speech,
laying the corner stone of Gen.
Grants monument; you turned around
and said to Col John Abraham Star
facle, Col, smart men some times
change their opinions, but fools
never Tt is a great mystery to me
that the tone of my lettre didn't
sound natural to you.
want to- say to You, my friend,
never sign my name to some one else's
letters. That would be fiat down
classifying. / want to inform you, for
fact, that I wrote it; composed it
with the same head, same eyes, same
tongue that [ wrote the others with.
But you are just naturally inclined to
misrepresent me, and not Swallow my
medicine. Then in Syour letter you
say 81 would like for Tom to tell the
people of something better fer the poor
man than to help him to educate his
children. There is nothing that can
be done that will benefit his family
more than to have good schools for
the children to go to. Lit is the chill
dren that aret he beneficiaIies of the
free school, Just like if had been
writing to the contrary. tell you
you do half of your fishing with q pin
hook, that is the reason you don't
catch any fish, Then little lower
down in your letter you tore the
Bible all to pieces, and then didn't
tell the people what the Bible does
say. God said you must love one
another as I have loved you you must
meet with a holy kiss. Alex, it is q
bitter dose, but you must comply with
the Scriptures; back your ears, shut
your eyes, hold your breath and let
them have it. God said as much as
you would not kiss them, you would
not kiss Him. Yes, we know that
you know lots more of the Adamic
family than you won't the people to
know, as you do know it was your
Uncle Sam who induced your Aunt
Eve to pluck the forbidden sfruit and
they drove the old scoundrel out of
the Garden You and Cain got on a
big drunk on the strength of it, and
Cain killed his brother Abel, and you
both were drove away from there and
you and Cain went over to the land of
Nod, and he saw his wife and knew
her, and she had all heir. and Cain
named him Enoch, but you wanted
him named Alex, but Cain intended
to build city and name the city
after his son. He knew if that city
had been named Alex you would have
advised your Uncle Sam to Duild his
kingdom in the city of Alex, but you
got mad and stole a jug full of the
hot stuff and made for n c., u. S.
A, where you intended to build a
hell of your own you fooled around
with your old jug till you fred Tar
river, and frightened half of North
Carolina to death and the other half
run you away from there. Now we
want the honest facts about you leav
ing North Carolina and coming to
Mississippi.
Now, Alex, have few questions
to ask you:
|. Why are you democrat?
2. Why would you not do as we'll
under a republican administration
in Mississippi as you do under DEM
ocratic administration Tell me the
difference now, if the two great par
ties were to run Cleveland and Mark
Hanna what would be the republican
majority in the state of Mississippi?
3. Would you vote for Cleveland?
Yours respectfully,
T. P. CHAPMAN.
