Arch. A. Mckinney,
Station Baggage Agent.

Mr. McKipney's note is published be-
cause he seems to desire it. He Is un-
necessarily disturbed about this mat
ter. The Advertiser does not, did not
desire to draw Mr.. Mckinney into the
incident but 1t appears that he will
not have 1t so. The name of Mr.. Nc
Kinney was not used in the article
which he assails and which he says he
"refutes," as far as 1t concerns the
baggage agent.
The Advertiser investigated this
matter as 1t investigates all matters
that appear in its columns. A bag
gage agent" IN the union depot bag
gage room showed a representative Of
The Advertiser the pieces OF baggage
marked IF C. r." and told the rep
rescntative of The Advertiser thSt he
had bill for It and that It was the
baggage of Judge Randolph. More
over, a baggage agent" employed at
the union depot told more than one
person up town about this baggage.
Mr.. Mckinney has been misinformed.
1t was not intended TO cast ridicule
upon him.
