TO MIR. MORRIS

Bridgeport, w. Va, Oct. 12-AIr.
Morris foolishness sets me afire and
I have to talk as If the people do
not yet seem to know what is the
matter with the L. & B. 1 will tell
them But before 1 do this L will
talk to Mr.. Morris.
Now, Morris, L am right after
you as you say in your letter named
that intimate innocent stockhold-
ers as being liable. Why do you
crouch under Your false pretense of
telling the truth and say strange
accusations, indeed tauntingly at me
and yet misleading those innocent
people and at the same time stick
ing your ignoramus nose into this
business without either interest for
yourself or basis of representation
for even one single Individual in
terested party in l.. & B. from start
to finish?
Again, you say it is no honor to
you for one to say Morris has tall
ent for writing. It is immaterial
to me as to your version of Justice
to yourself. I gave you credit for
having this talent, but I condemn
your mode and manner of handling
this talent as a just representative
of L. & B. interests or any interests
ranging between you and the Blessed
Saviour, who overturned the tables
of the money changers, who were
condemned as den of thieves. Mr.
Morris, / have thrown the search
Light on your foolishnesa as sent |
through the Herald as eloquent say
ings in such pop-shot manner that
it dazzled your eyes SO You failed to
see to hold your cat in the wallet. |
and am sorry had the snap to let |
it out, but have the audacity to tell !
you that have cat, wallet, mule and /
all and will handle them in equity
with L. & B. in Justice to you, cat |
and wallet. Yes, strange as it may
seem to you, but I have never read
one word of your last letter in the
Herald. Yes, / have it here-had |
it in my pocket, when saw Mr..
Morris in the Herald Office Sept. 80 |
gathering his circulating medium.
But / have no time to read any
more foolishness just now. But / |
will read your letter as do every
thing else and will answer as I told
you in the Herald. Give me time,
Mr.. Morris. You have steathily |
stolen my turn in the Herald from
me and you viii find out now before
you are through as to my knowledge
of war. I am the same little drum
mer boy in principle that learned to
beat charge in Japan and at the
onset of a great battle the officers
became scared. fearing the result,
and asked this little drummer boy
to beat retreat. This little boy re-
piled: mo, sir, I never learned to-
beat retreat, but / can beat a
charge" and did so, and it so in
famed both officers and men that
they took courage from this little
boy, few into arms, fought the bat
tie, conquered and took the fort and
held it. Whose courage was it that
won the battle, Mr.. Morris You
say according to your predictions
that it was the courage of officers
and men. No. sir, it was this in
nocent courage held in the teachings
and culture of this boy that set fire
to the whole army, just as you have
set fire TO me. Sir, I represent this
| little boy in L. s. B. fighting like a
Turk for the interests of all, while
YOU represent an old woman some
thing like JEFF Davis, when he was
| captured in woman's garb as Presi-
4 dent of the Southern Confederacy
and your litutenants who are too
smart to tackle me and may have
tinkercd with you represent the of
ficers that asked this little innocent
boy to beat retreat, and, therefore
both you and your lieutenants, il
any, are towards and frauds from
the soles of your feet to the crowns
of your heads in this business oil
L. & B.
Walter McWhorter Morris, You
were named after my uncle, Walter
McWhorter. I have listened to the
short cuts of this good old uncle o.
| mine that is gone until / am able tc
talk you out of reason and without
timber to sustain you. No, sir, Mr.
Morris, I am genial, conservative
pop-shot reformer that no faction
handles. Neither do I seek to
I,.l, 51a any faction PJ1t 7 Will
