Does This Irate Editor Want TO
Fight a Duel?

You will remember that two weeks ago [
answered The Waycross Jom7aaz-a feeble
and moribund little daily paper-which had
gone out of its way to assail me by name, and
to mlsrepresent me outrageously.
The Editor pretended to be infamed against
me for no other reason than that / had
laughed at the spooks who gallivanted around
In that College, on Wheels, advertising them
selves and q lot of agricultural implements, at
the expense of the taxpayers. The Editor
poured on me bucket-ful of Ohio sarcasm
and wrath. You remember how pleasantly I
replied to him.
You will also remember how kindly I re-
minded this Ohio person of his belligerent
support of Pompous Bill, the Brantley who
owns big share In the fertilizer works at
Blackshear, and who voted to put potash on
the free-list. With fertilizer ingredients on
the untaxed list, Pompous Bill and his family
can produce fertilizers at a smaller cost to
themselves than when said materials have to
add tariff duty to their normal price. Most
of the potash used in this country is brought
from Germany. If the Germans can intro
duce the potash into our market without hav-
ing to pay license fee at the Custom house,
(tariff duty they can fix price on their
goods which will be lower than is possible
when they are required to pay for the pr5v-
ltege Of selling IN our maarket.
Is that plain?
Can anybody fail to see it?
Pompous Bill saw it, all right enough
Hence, wanting cheap potash, the Pompous
One voted to put it on the untaxed list.
But how about LUMBER, which nearly
everybody has to buy, and which only few
have to sell!
That was horse of different color. In
stead of voting to put this necessary article on
the untaxed list, so that The Many could get
cheaper building materials, Pompous Bill
voted for an oppressive tariff on lumber in
order that The Few should be enabled to
charge exorbitant prices.
The platform upon which Sir Pompous was
elected does not call for free potash; it does
demand free lumber Yet Sir Pompous did
what he had not been pledged to do; and re-
FUSED to do, that a0hach he had promised.

Jesse Mercer; and the Three Sticks
of Dynamite
CONCLUDED FROM PAGE NINE.)


012y dyn0no1te.
In the sixth place, no dynamite has been
seen or used near, or on, my place in years
This was concealed in the stump, after the
fire which swept the woods and stubble fields
a few days before the two strange men came
out of, and went back into the swamp, near
where Mr.. VIM found the dynamite.
The stuff has been in the hollow stump for
quite while, for the package was sOdden
from rain and dew; and the dynamite is now
harmless.
At the time the boys were lodging in and
out of the woods and fields, on April %, the
dynamite could not haze been used to bz0a0 up
fish. The three sticks were then ready to
crumble to pieces from moisture; and the
paper, in which they had been wrapped, was
camp unto rOttenness
1t must have been in the stump for about
the time that has elapsed since the fire.
But, you may ask, 'Why did the would-be
assassins leave it there?"
My theory is, that one of the men carried
the caps and fuse, while the other carried the
dynamite. After each failure to waylay me,
they returned to the swamps; and, for safety
to themselves, placed the deadly stuff in the
stump. When we got after them so close and
hot, they may have been afraid that they
would be caught, a0ith the dynamite on their
persons. Again, they may not have had time,
the last round to 60 back to the stump. Or,
that Thursday night when Moncrief shot at
one Of them, they could not easily have found
the stump, aOithout striking O. light. This,
they dared not do.
Jesse Mercer asserts that "nobody else" but
me, has given this affair "a serious thought"
That is Whopper, isn't it? Such statement
shows Jesses veneration for truth.
Unless [ am the worst fooled man on this
earth, there are two desperate office hunters
who would give their weight in gold to know
just how near to them my untiring, yet un-
hasting, pursuit OF the guilty parties has
brought the fatal net, to themselves

1t IS the younger set Of negrOes-aoot the eae-
szave.
The white master of the black slave COM
PEELED him to do regular work-paying him
better wages than the Northern manufacturer
paid By wages [ mean, broadly, that the
negro enjoyed more of the products of his
labor than the white slaves of the North en-
joyed. Slavery took lawless savage and
made an intelligent, useful worker out of him.
And the noblest tribute to the benevolent
character of Southern slavery is, that no
where else on earth is the negro race so we'll
off, as in these United States.
(5) In teaching Southern children that
the prodigious waste and bloodshed of the
Civil War was the direct consequence of the
SOuth's aggresslveness, and memorable de-
termination to re ect all overtures of North
ern peace-makers, Professor Elson not only
does a cruel iaj Justice to Southern statesman
ship, but to the Confederate soldier. To call
the horrible war ''slave-hOlder's rebellion"
is to utterly distort the facts. The vOzan1teers
20h0 rushed to V1rgi11la to repeI the Northern
6y2n1y Of 51lrdS5On, 1cere not shareholders. They
were men who had been taught that it were
better to fight and to die, rather than lose the
precious right of Home Rule.
Virginia had not 'fred on Fort Sumter"
IF the Lincoln government had right to
made to ret0he them. The capture of Fort
Sumter did not Justify Mr. Lincoln in calling
for $4,000 troops to invade and devastate Vlr
ginia. That impartial history will finally
adopt the view that the War between the
States was due to Northern hatred of the
South, | have no doubt, whatever And deep
down at the bottom lay this incentive:
The Northern manufacturers and bankers
were determined to reconquer the rich pro-
vinces which they had so long plundered,
with their tariff system, and their financial
system. With the Southern Confederacy
standing for Free Trade, the North would
have been compelled to adopt the same policy.
The Dollar, and the difference in Race had
vastly more to do with the Civil War than
Slavery.
(6) If Professor Elson had stated that
concubnage between master and slave was an
occasional incident to the system, nobody
would have found fault with him. Concu-
binage is an occasional incident to the relation
between the master of the house and the white
housemaid. In the North, a lady detective
has recently made some "startling" revela-
tions on this subject IF half of what she
says is true, greater degree of concubinage
is in operation in Northern homes right n0aU
than ever existed in the South under Slavery
The pernicious error of Professor Elson is
that he represents such concublnage as hav-
ing been common. AS if everybody does not
know that there were few plantations that
had more than one or two mulatto children
on them, while thousands had none at ALL
