T. LONGS CARD.
Mr. Long Makes Statement About Per
 sonal Difficulty With Cooper.

TO the Editor of The. Age-IIerald:
 x The article published in The Age-Heraid pf today does injustice to my brother Pope M. Long, who is candidate for United States marshal in the northern Jurisdiction of Alabama.
 The charges preferred against the pres ent marshal, Mir Cooper, were filed by a citizen of MT. Coopers own county, Ma rion. This party who filed the charges Is hot even a political friend of my brother, but, on the other hand. at the last re- publican state convention was one of Marshal Cooperss lieutenants, and was strongly gopposed to ChairIaans J. Thompson as well as to my brother. I wish to state further that the charge preferred against Marshal Cooper was Nhat ehe borrowed money from his. depu- bes. Bust what action the federal Of Hcials-at NJ ashington will take is unknown to me and Is none of my business Nei- ther my brother nor his friends had any thing to do with filing these or any other Charges against Marshal Cooper.
 l regret exceedingly the cause that led to the personal difficulty between Mar shal .cooner and myself on yesterday. The fault, however, was caused solely by Marshal D. N. Cooper circulating false and slanderous reports against my father. B. M Long, who Is now dead. Mir. Cooper also tried to connect my brother Pope M. Long with these false charges, and threatened to file these charges with the department at Washington. The. charge made and circulated by MT. Cooper was
