Hands Off From "BiIl DOOIey.'

Editor News: About six years ago L
began to write to the Sequachee News
under the signature of bill Dooley"
and continued'to write for three years,
until the trouble between the T. G. |.
Company and the union miners arose
about that time. | stopped not be-
cause the trouble came up, but be-
cause it had become known who it was
that was writing under the name of
"Bill Dooley," and | did not care to
have everybody know who it was that
was writing such foolish yarns and so
quit the business.
Sometime after | quit saw letter
in the News in regard to union labor
and the union miners of Whitwell,
which was abusive of the non union
men at WhitweL,' calling them scabs
and other hard names. That was an
insult to any man capable of being in
suited and was signed "Bil Dooley'
l don't suppose the one who did the
writing thought any harm in using
the name, but, however, it came very
resulting in serious harm. About one
year ago | was at Whitwell and hap
pened to fall in company with some
non-union men, and they thinking
that it was / who wrote the abuse,
and the men being on drunken spree,
it was hard for me to convince them
that it was not | that did the writing.
Even at that if it had not been for
some of my friends that happened to
be passing and interfered I would have
been abused for what some other man
had done.
see there is some one still writing
under the name of ''Bill Dooley," and
after explaining this matter, l hope
whoever it is will stop using the name
of "Bill Dooley" Twill also ask the
editor to stop printing that name for
any other person than the original,
Yours truly,
BILL DOOLEY.
P. S. The News readers will see
something from me very soon.

If local option is a democratic meas
ure as the Chattanooga Times argues,
why not complete the cycle, and add
cocaine and morphine to the list of ar
ticles that should be used daily in not
a medicinal way by every we'll regula-
ted familyT Why not run as many
opium joints as licenses can be secured
so as to increase revenueH What is is
the difference in effect between these
drugs and whiskeyf Why not have
them all, and make this earth a COM
plete hell? And yet the Times says To-
cal option, which in its case, is an in
sidious effort to defend whiskey, is a
democratic measure. If the democrat
ic party fosters an idea like this, that
whiskey traffic should not be abolished
from the state, after the magnificent
fight that hosts of good people of the
state have made against it, it should
be RELOCATED to the rear, covered with
such mass of votes as never to be
able to uncover its head. If this
is the idea of the democratic party in
Tennessee, the idea of cartoonists is
not amiss when they depict it is don

/ noticed in the last issue of the
News that Representatives. idea
of the law which our legislature pass
ed allowing man to attach an
other wages for his debts, is that it
is hardship on the poor. First, /
want to say / know what it is to sit
down to my table and get up hungry.
l want to say this law is like the law
of God. The law of God was not
made for the righteous but for the
ungodly, for liars, thieves, murderers,
and so on. The one that does right is
freed from the law. The man that vi
olates the law invokes the penalty.
Without violation there is no penalty.
Without penalty there couldn't be
any force. So in the attachment law.
1t is made for dishonest men and to
protect business men, There are
thousands of men that will go to mer
chants and make a contract with them
to furnish their family something to
eat and clothing say for thirty days or
until payday. They agree to draw
their pay and come and settle for what
their merchant has furnished him and
his family. Instead of walking up
like man and paying for what he has
ate, he gets his money, curses the man
that has fed him and his family while
he earned it, and goes to another mer
chant and repeats the same trick,
while many times he sends off and gets
from one to two gallons of whiskey. |
am now writing from actual expert
ence. | have hundreds of dollars due
me from such men who can buy liquor
but who won't pay their just debts.
Such men as these the law applies to,
and not to the honest poor man. The
law ought to be harder on such rascals.
There are thousands and thousands
of poor honest men and women on
whom sometimes misfortunes come
and they cant come up to their obi
cations always. Nearly any business
man will involve themselves in debt
and carry them on until they can pay.
This is what an honest man can get,
but where a man has received all that
a merchant or farmer could do for him,
and he won't make an effort to pay
them, then the caustic has to be APP
piled. "He that won't work shan {
eat. " 1t is nothing but right to apply
the law to dishonest men, and the law,
rightly administered, does not apply
TO honest poor men. If the credit sys-
TEN, which is nothing but trusting, a
mans honesty, was abolished it would
be better. Nineteenth of the bust
ness today is done on the credit sys-
tie. | say we ought to have law that
is more rigil to make men pay their
debts. Men are now bankrupt who
have thousands due them. There ought
to be provisions in regard to sickness,
and misfortunes but none for lying,
drunkenness and dishonesty, because a
man that gets articles from another
man and won't pay for them when he
can, is worse than a thief. A thiei

the other person steals your meat. corn

short of traitor TO honesty and con-

they had sickness in their family, and
