THE REPLY. BY LETTER
Mr.. Geo. W. Mcleod,
Leaf, Miss.

Mr. Geo. W. Mcleod,
Leaf, Miss.
Dear Mr.. McLeod:-
Your diatribe reaches me: am un-
able tointepret whether you meant
to direct it to me as mere personal
letter or desire it to appear in the
HERALD's columns. So as to not
take any undue advantage of You by
virtue of my ownership and consequ-
ent liberties of insertion of the paper:
l shall conStrue it in the latter sense,
but shall so write this that it cs41i
subsequently be put in print if tnat
be your desire -.e
I might choose your kind of weapon
and fence you attacks off with coul-
ter interroggatives like these:- 1aoi
Do you known that George WASH
ington was the Father of this coun-
try?
Do you know that you live in Leaf,
Greene County State of Mississippi,
United States of America, Western
Hemisphere, on one of the small
planets in our Sun S System, of the
many systems that whirl through
the infinite either of boundless i'm
mensity?
Do you know that John Knox sus-
tanned the relation historically i'm
puted to him towards the foundation
of the Presbyterian Church? :s
Do you know that you are really
Geo. W. Mcleod, a descendant of
the forbears admitted as your direct
lineage?
Do you know that there are such
persons existing as John Sharp Will
liams, w. w. West and BiIbo, or
that they ever did exist, outside of
the few moments you eyes might
have impressed your brain with the
idea that you behold such persons?
And SO on. To show the fallacy of
such line of reasoning.
] The phrase do you know. implies
possibly you will admit this Have
you knowledge" After demanding
if l have knowledge. you proceed to
qualify what knowledge" is to be
taken as to represent in this colloquy.
Your expression Il don't want to
know what somebody else have told
you about them, but want to know
what you know about them your
SELF probably did not circumscribe
the restricted word knowledge" as
thoroughly as you meant, shallc Or
cede that you intended it to even de-
bar what | might have ascertained
by sources that | consider reliable in
a reading way, In palmer speech,
| understand that with reference to
me in this discussion, that you debar
my use of knowledge" acquired BY
information or belief (knowledge.)
Replying to your gracious ques-
tionings: I would say my associa-
ton or observation of all four of the
public servitors alluded to has not
been of that close intimacy and dis
cernment to position me to make the
answer you -demand-an answer re-
stricted to suit your idle fancy; an
answer which could hardly be desired
by one so capricious.

ed to any Office shall fail to qualify

an officer should hold over after his
regular term of Office expires under
the authority given him to hold
over until his successor is elected
aud qualified, vacancy in such
Office shall occur thereby, and 1t
