BILL DOOLY'S LETTER
IN Which He Treats the Subjects He Dis.
cusses According to His Own Views
and May or May Not Reflect the
Editorial Opinions Of the News.

find that my correspondence TO the
News in recent issue is meeting with
some opposition. Now, | would like
to say TO those who do not like the
spirit Of my correspondence, that ev-
cry word | have written is gospel
truth, and can't be refuted. can es-
tablish everything that have said by
the common history of the country for
the last Is years Men who don't read
and men who read as they run and
don't take time to investigate how
things are running, may have some ex-
cuse for surprise when they come to
realize how much rascality is going on
in our country.
/ don't want any man to think that
/ am his enemy, nor any party to think
that l ana not in favor Of such party in
its purity, but fraud and corruption is
not the platform of any party, and If
any man sneaks into any party to ac-
oomplish some mean, rascally under
taking, he should be kicked out, but IL
said party should keep such man in
the party it then becomes as corrupt as
the man. There are good men in the
democratic party, and there are also
good men in the republican party,
while there are some men in each of
the parties that would disgrace the
devil and cause the old gent to lease
ont torment and immigrate to some
more quiet spot.
[ may or may not write but one
more letter to the News in regard TO
the registration law, and that will be
next week. will then give my views
on the tariff afterwards, and then
cease to write any more on political
subjects. However, will not make
any promises. 1t will be owing to how
l feel about the matter. If l get too
full and think am about to explode !
will holler out again.
Since the above was written | see in
the News that some man in Mississip-
ri by the name of A. L. Moore, has
drawn on the bloody shirt, loaded his
gatling gun and fred broadside into
Dooley magazine The said Moore
rears up ON his hind feet and exhaust,
the power of rhetoric to heap his abuse
and criticism on Inc personally, and
am only prompted to reply to him il
self defence don't know Mr.. Moore.
We have some of the Moore's in Ma
Y rion County that are my best friends
and the said A. L. Moore may be rela
ted to them in some way. However,
hope they are not. The Moore's
speak of are DR. n. B. Moore and hit
father, and several others of their rela
tions, who are among the best people
of Sequachee Valley, and if Mr.
Moore, of the proud old state of Mis-
sissippi, will take the pains to write
to DR.. Moore, he will convince him
that don't belong to the party thai
composes the element that he so boast
fully designates, az the party of carpet
baggers and negroes. DR., Moore wa
a candidate here three years ago, anC
! did not only vote for him, but qui
my work and did all in my power t.
assist him in his race.
Now, Mr. A. L. Moore, l can tel
you that l am an old Confederate sold
ier, vote for some democrats and SOM
republicans if they suit me, but neve
vote for any man that | think won
observe the oath of Office he takes
don't claim to belong to either party
and vote as | please, regardless of feel
ings or consequences Mr. Moore's ar
ticle comes out in flaring head lines
Negro Equality Discussed. | don
see anything he has said that amount
to anything but budget of abuse t
the republican party, and his articl
will not be relished by any one excep
some. who have lately emigrated to tn
United States, as this is an old son
that has been sung for the last 4
years.
Now, Mr. Moore, SO far as the negr
is concerned. he is just where l woul
like for him to stay. Let him stan
hitched outside and in SO far as negr
equality is concerned politically, sc
eially or otherwise, | am as clear G
that as you or any other man that eve
saw the sun, and as don't belong t
any party politically but both III gen
eral, and have many friends anon
both the old parties, and not havin
any desire to criticize either, and hay
ing said nothing but what | can sui
stantiate and nothing you can refute,
hope you will be satisfied to let thi
matter drop where it is. In the frs
place, | was not advocating the caus
of the negro, hut had to use him to il
lustrate my argument in regard to tn
suffrage rights of the whites of tn
South | don't profess TO be Solomo
or Webster, but what do know, kno'
like grown people.
/ am the same Bill Dooly and ca
he found at my Office at all times. da
or night. Yours truly,
pTTI. nnnTV
