Samuels Explains.

In Justice to the boys of Lafayette
Springs | desire to reply to an article
which appeared in last weeks Eagle
which was copied from the North
Mississippi Herald, i'll which the
statement was made that zone of the
Lafayette Springs boys passed a
bogus check for $1,000 to the Bates
Drug Store" and also, "after consld-
cradle skirmishing among themselves
the boys raised $1,000 in cash.
am in position to know the facts
in the case and l want to state most
positively that Lafayette Springs
bow NEVER passed a bogus check,
neither did the Lafayette boys raise
$1,000" The facts are as follows:
The Lafayette Springs boys, accom-
panied by two of the leading citizens
of Lafayette Springs, and their
teachers. came to Coffeeville and
PLAYED basket ball. They were also &C
companied by two boys from another
county, who are students and ball
: PLAYERS. or were last year, of anothef
school which has no competition WITH
LAFAYETTE Springs. And one OF these
bows attempted to pass check mere
in Coffeeville with one merchant and
failed but taking advantage OF the
fact that he was with bunch OF
hovs whom | had invited here, was
able to get by with the bogus check
with another, until he sgot to Watei
Valley. The bunch was stopped al
Water Valley, he was identlhed, palo
the representative of Bates Drug
Store ten dollar bill, himself, pro
bablv the one he had received on ms
bogus check. And the other boys
had nothing to do with raising the
money, and Judging from my know
ledge of the boys, this culprlt woui'
have had very lonesome time trying
to raise any money to protect him II
his conduct.
! 1t is not my purpose to accuse any
one of misconduct, but my sole 90
iect is to correct the mistaken lde'
that any boy from Lafayette Spring
was guilty of what The Heral'
stated he was. l taught those boy
two years, and each one knew, whe'
he was here, that he could get ten dol
liars from his former teacher, withou
even drawing check on dad, If n
wanted it. +. ). SAMOELo'

CREATED A STIR.

Last week the Eagle took occasion
to copy short story, clipped from
the North Mississippi Herald, splen-
die weekly newspaper published at
Water Valley, dealing with some
person attempting to pass bogus
check.
1t seems that the Herald was not
all together too familiar with the facts
in the case, and that it covered too
much territory. This is often the
case with weekly newspapers, whose
editors have to do all the work con-
nected with the publishing of the ]
paper. The editor takes somebody's
word and writes the story.
We see nothing in the story of a
damaging nature. 1t merely gives the
account of the incident as it happened,
but Just did not close the story just
as it should have been.
We take pleasure in reproducing
letters we have received from Prof.
Sacnuels and also from Prof. Dabbs,
which Wc hope will clear matters up to
the satisfaction of all concerned.

Lafayette Springs-The Oxford
Eagle: In your last weeks issue |
noticed an extract in your paper
copied from the North Mississippi
Herald in which serious reflection
was passed on the Lafayette Springs
basket ball team relative to Bogus
Check passed at Coffeeville. The
article grossly mistated the facts in
the case, and feel that it is only
fair to my boys to make this state
ment.
The boy who was pointed out as
the guilty party by the Coffeeville
druggist does not live in our Lafayette
Springs Community, has no connection
what ever with our ball team, does
not attend school here, and, so far as
L know, never has attended this
school.
The article states that the boys
"after much skirmishing succeeded in
raising the $40 and were allowed to
proceed on their way" There was
nothing of the kind done. The boy
who was charged paid a $10-bill and
that ended it.
Mr.. Coleman, merchant at La
fayette Springs, Mr.. Grover Patton, a
mail carrier and dozen others will
verify the above statement. By the
way, letter from Prof. E. S. Samuels
of Coffeeville to MI. Grover Patton
will throw some additional light on the
subject. please publish his letter.
Very truly,
]. l. DARBS.
