Editor Advertiser: Please al
low me space in your paper TO re-
ply to,"A Statement from Mr.. e.
S. Johnson" which appeared in
your last weeks issue. A brief re-
capitulation of the Reel Cotton
Matter ia necessary that the pub
lie may be informed.
On April 18th, 1905, Mr.. j II
Reel brought into my store SAM
Piles of 25 bales of cotton on which
be requested bill. Before bidding
on the cotton, I asked Mr.. Reel
|if his cotton was dry and free
from damage; he replied that be
had toe cotton housed, and would
guarantee il free from water or
damage. With this assurance from
Mr.. Reel I bought his cotton and
paid him my full limit therefor.
If 1 had seen the bales of cotton,
or sampled it myself, 1 would not
have put the above questions to
Mr.. Reel, but would have relied
upon my own judgmen: as to con-
dition, nor would l have expected
any reimbursement from him for
loss if any. Such however was not
the case. I bought this cotton
from samples furnished by Mr..
Reel, and under his guarantee as
to condition, aud relied implicit
ly upon his statement. Upon re-
ceipt of sales for this cotton, l
Immediately requested Granite
Vile Manufacturing Company to
hold the cotton to be re-weighed
| I called Mr.. Reels attention to
the account sales and requested
that he see the cotton rs-weighed
as I expected him under his guar
antee, to reimburse me for the
one hundred aud sixty sever
pounds loss unless he could show
that the Granitevlllo weigher was
| in error. Mr.. Reel, for reasons
which were not satisfactory to me
declined either to see the cottor
re-weigbed or satisfy me iA any
way for my loss, notwiths andiul
the fact that I had a sworn GER
tifcate showing one bale % nave
lost So pounds. I did not hesitate
to express to Mr.. Reel my sur
prise at his position in this mat
ter, and the:: and .here dropped
the matter 80 fer as he was con
cerned.
Mr.. E g Johnson was a
that time acting cotton weighe
for Mr.. J w Cheatham, and wher
Mr.. Reel refused to reim bnrse mt
for the one hundred and sixty
seven pounds which had lost (ol
account of water aud damage)
explained the matter to Mr.. John
con and told him that as C ,ttor
weigber he personally was liable
to me at least for one bale which
lost OH account'of water and dam
age So pounds. He agreed to pa,
noe the loss on this one bale
which in no wise :was*a compro
mise or settlement for Mr.. Reel'l
liability to me. I, as Mr.. Johp
son states, made several request
for settlement on this one bale
but as a matter of record, he die

last, some one posted at the.en-
trance Of the Edgefeld voting pre-
clnct an affidavit signed by Mr..
E S Johnson which stated in sub
stance, that she had settled the
matter of loss on 25 bales of cot
ton which I had bought from Mr..
Reel.' Immediately under aud on
the margin of the affidavit I en-
dorsed in substance as follows :
''If Johnson has collected any
money frcIa Reel for me, he bas
done 80 without authority from
me, and has not PAID me one cent
fit. { 1 did not take copy OF affi-
davit or my endorsement thereon,
hence cannot give exact wording)
Mr.. Johnson publishes my receipt
for 4 and O3-100 dollars. I have new
er, nor never will deny this receipt,
because it corresponds to cent
with my records. Mr.. Johnson
claims that my endorsement on
his affidavit raises a question of
veracity between us, and l agree
fully with him. He says his good
lame is worth as much to bim as
is mine to me, nevertheless be
ehoots at mine, and in doing so
leaves his as target, and if in
the melee his gets hit, he must
blame himself and not me.
1 leave it to g fair minded pub
lie to say whether settlement
for Mr.. Johnson's liability on one
bale of cotton Is settlement
from him for Mr.. Reels liability
to me on Is bales. So lbs is not 167
lbs; $4.O3 is not $12.69; one is not
twenty-five; settlement by de-
duction from Mr.. Johnson's &C
count is not money collected from
Mr.. Reel and paid me. I still say
that if Mr.. Johnson has collected
any money from Mr.. Reel for me
be did so without my authority
and has not paid me one cent of
it.
respectfully leave this ques-
tion of ;tveracity between US to a
verdict from the honest public.
Respectfully,
w. w. ADAMS.

Y. M. C. A.
 DEFEATED
A. 8. BASKETBALL TEAM PLAYED FINE BALL AND WON
 ON MERITS.

That the A. B. basketball team, which defeated the Y. NJ. C. A. last evening at A. E. hall for the third match of the series. was the better team of the two there can be no doubt.
 Of course, the winners were playing in home territory, but that fact alone could never have made so great a difference as the score indicates.
 They won by 26 to IA.
 Two members of the Y. M. c. A. team as a consolation for their defeat deserve to be mentioned for the brave efforts they made to avert defeat Don- nelly and Crowley made an uphill fight and Jensen worked like a horse.
 As for the A. B. team one could not, even by comparison, inslnuate that any one did not play we'll Their team work at times was excellent, and their passing bordered on the wonderful.
 Of course, the Y. M. C. A. boys have by no means lost heart. The fourth game of the series will come next Fri day, and the losers will try to learn by sad experience.
 The audience was a fairly large one and mighty enthusiastic.

THE OWLS
 SWAMP A. BIS

By the awful score of 13 to the owl baseball team beat the A. B.'s last night at A. B. hall in the first match for the Grobe- Hermaus trophy.
 During the first four innings it was thought that the Brotherhood had a chance to win, but in the fifth in ming, oh. horror, those A. E. fingers seemd to be made of mud. Their pitch CT got batted against the roof, up in the gallery, between the legs of his colleagues, and every old place but where he ought to be.
 Those owls just hooted with the de- light of it. They just laughed them selves home around the bases. while the A. E. stars were falling over each other and initiating basketball Some thought the inning would never end. but, finally, when the owls had run up seven runs the inning died of old age
 The only difference between the two teams was that the owls played well and the others didn't. But that is nothing Another match will come. and the A. E. team may be trusted to try hard for revenge.

credited actually in high quarters with having prevented the delivery of a Japanese ultmatum before this. The most alarming rumor of recent days is the one which has just become current here to the effect that England's fail ure to stand by the Japanese alliance will result in an alliance between the mikado and the emperor of Germany.
 Germany wants part of South Am erica" says the rumor, Japan wants some islands in the Pacific. To gain their ends the United States must be rendered powerless."
 Such a rumor has caused the gravest anxiety. With the American fleet in the Pacific. the Atlantic coast is left open and at the mercy of the great German navy, should no European ally be found by the United States.
