A QUESTION OF OPINION.

In pressing the battle against the
new county, the HERALD has not
sought disputations, neither have
we been so narrow-gauged or un-
principled as to resort to untruths
to strengthen our cause. An arti-
Gle appearing in this paper an
nouncing the killing of the new
County bill in the committee room
of the Legislature, it seems re-
ceived a construction by at least
one, that it was not meant for it to
have. The clause in particular
question read thus: This thing
of tearing up counties at the in
stance of ambitious capitalists is
not relished by a legislature of
astute statesmen. D. M. Eubanks
through the Lucedale Plaindealer
expresses himself as believing we
were mistaken in making this OBJ
servation; mistaken so grievously
as to endanger our chances for
reaching the home beyond the skies.
So you would essay to judge would
you, Eth DAM Perhaps the Script
ural injunction to the contrary has
no application to yourself. This
paper has never been a candidate
for the membership in the Ananias
Club. Neither has its editorial
genius any twinges of concience, or
fears for his final destiny account

resent, or publish matter prejudi-

Our language may not have been
clear to express what we meant,

frame words to tell it. perhaps
