MIR. SULLIyAN,s REJOINDER.
EDITOR INTELLIGENCER:

ELL tOf In En-.
On Friday incoming Last YOU de-
mandcd OF me by name that / answer
eight pointed" questions and on Sum
dav morning last i answered them
tv'r mrre .)R,;"i:t.y and fully than
airy reasonable man could expect from
the tone of your demands and the ma
ture OF the questions themselves and
in the same issue of your paper which
contained my answer you published
long, extended "Reply to the city
attorney" in Spectacular" double
columned type.
1t is, therefore, obvious to any fair
minded reader that the controversy
will continue indefinitely unless one
Of us ends it by declining to consume
any more valuable time and thought
in feeding" II. You made your de-
mands. / replied. You replied to my
reply and doubtless you will now re-
ply to my reply to your re-
ply to your demands. So. as
far as am concerned, I
shall write only this rejoinder to
your "Reply" and thereafter devote
my thought and time to more import
ant matters while you can continue
your "fre" If you desire without any
uOtlES .ut.
Now, as to your "Eaply to the city
attorney" 1t thoroughly convinces me
that I have not only taken myself too
seriously, as you suggest, but that I
have also taken you and your duty"
to the about-to-be oppressed CD
Southern Public Utilities Company to
seriously, for, C. all the preposterous
absurdities ever offered for the. SER

Andersen, your seIf-styled Reply to
the city attorney" exceeds any in the
history of the city for ridiculous as
sumptions, unfair deductions and
comically illogical conclusions.
Really. Editor, l tried to take II
seriously" and. succeeded fairly well
until I read that pathetic wcTd-pic-
ture where you admonished me that
ought IL have "scG. sor Zehu!on
Vance Taylor. Capt. Watkins and 9TH
the "error' by which I had robbed
then-.well, laughed and even the
baby joined with me.
Me cause Zebulan Vance Taylor to
lose his money when fonght him
from July to February to keep that
franchise" away from his eager fin
gersl Fss
Say, Editor, "honest to goodness" :"
When did you "lnitn town, anyway
Now, patient reader, you can see
how ,.ssiess is &. I'd. d.rcrss p @stter
with man who hss an obsession like
that because of S.is duty duty to assume
the role of rpuolio, defender" of the
Southern Public Utili-
ties Company possessed of more mon
ey, brains. legal talent ana publicity
bureaus than the city of Anderson can
muster in thousand years.
But, frankly admit, reader, the
Editor chit" me once in his REPLY"
in n vital spot and ] may be wound
ed dangerously by that particular
outlet" I care nothing for his
charge against my legal "ethics" for
agree with him that he knows moth
ing about them. I care nothing for
his charge that my "error" robbed
Zebulon Vance Taylor. Capt Watkins
and Others" for nobody will believe it.
But. sir, when you deliberately and
charge me with being a
stOckhOlder in the Anderson Intelli-
gencer I resent 1t and demand that
you publicly apologize for misrepre-
senting me.
!. am not stockholder in the An
derson Intelligencer. sir. 1 am only
half of 6 stockholder,
I own one.half OF one share of his
papers stock. reader. and for this
half-sin impiore the, public's forgive
ness. iiil
Finis.
