The new dominion. [volume] (Morgantown, W. Va.) 1876-1904, 1903-07-08

knowing full well that the trouble be-
tween Mr.. Sturgiss and me. was the
result OF an attack upon my father,
years before.
In our encounter there never was a
blow struck.
This displayed great respect for my
father to euiogize his assaiIant and de-
cry his protector. He hoped TO
create i'll feeling. between Dir. Stur-
giss and me, but in this he has failed.
There Is as much difference between
Mr.. Sturgiss and him as between day
and night, everything and nothing:
human and brute. Mr.. SturgIss is
man (the modest handiwork OF God
in every way. physical, financial, NOR
al and social, while r. S. Glasscock, 10
my estimation, is beneath the notice
OF any man
He uses 1--WE" where aDy blame at
taches, but s1r when there is any
glory to be gained.
| have never been SO tired: ihcompe-
tent, intoxicated, or otherwise but

you must be born with brains; you
cannot acquire there.
Yesterday morning instructed my
attorneys TO institute action for
libel but since that he has become
personal / will consider the best plan
topursue.
The Post need not permit this affair
to become contagious, editOrially, but
simply remain neutral If possible,
difficult as IL may be, and give itself
no worry about the .sducats.o because
/ will attend To that and especially
make the reference In plain United
States.
As to mortgages, never gave one
but he does not know the difference
between deed Of trust aud gage.
borrowed some moDy, where made a
heavy investment, and agreed to keep
1t until September and am ready TO
lift il.
When | borrow | make the record
show IL. j have no bank to back me
on my own personal, verbal, promise
nor an indnlgent father to aid and
idolize me.
| do not think the B < l.. A. loan
money until the building is completed

In the future | can better inform
myself, from the deed OF trust book,
unless some one borrows aud adj
vances It. There is an old say
ing s'those who live 10 glass houses
should never throw stones" Should
the Lord do without him in Heaven,
as Attorney General, until be is my
age, he will know more then than
now, as there are several avenues
through which he will absorb>it.
His superior services are needed
every where, as mayor, prosecuting at
torney, town solicitor and ETC., but
the work was too difficult, and tho
voters excused him.
He remembers all about how glad
he was they elected another and put
all that labor upon Others shoulders.
You remember the fable of the ass
and the lions skin, but do you know
that while it is recorded, that all the
other animals knew that he YVES only
an ass, the ass never oDce thought of
that. He was too busy being what he
was not made. His hope To die "sol-
vent" may prompt him to pay board
for one only. 1t Is easier, but that
makes no difference, as long as his
partner makes it. He can look after
the charge items and run the ma
chimes.
As to that grand peroration about
bis "hand forgetting its cunning and
his tongue cleave to the roof OF his
mouth" its effect seems inconsistent,
as no one would have thought he was
'cunning," and one to hear him
exhort would naturally think he had
cleft palate or something else, as bad
l do not think his father will disin-
herit him, there will he no need, as he
can make Ia Announcements what
Others do by requests. He has good
father, who is nice gentleman, and
trust when he becomes old and i'll,
be will not be deceived by one who
Swallowed the last days ofmy fathers
existence. Would that mine were
here today. Respectfully,
