Mr. Editor: Please excuse me for asking for space in your paper to reply to "Speak What t Think," whose letter appeared in the issue of June 16. If he intended his let ter as a reply to my letter in a former issue of your paper then I find no excuse for writing this epistle as heclearly forgot the pur pose of his miserable effort. Hut if he wished to notify his friends of his drink habit then he was successful ami we should thank him for acknowledging his un worthiness fur tin- association of all moral and virtue loving young ladies, No well bred young woman will accept the company of a young man with a pint of whiskey in his pocket, nor would my "Boss'" advance the money to him through me with which to purchase it, as he intimates that lie would be glad to have him do. I had not known 'til he men tioned it, that I had a "Boss." I do not need one, as he evidently does, but the gentleman for whom I work never denies me funds for any worthy purpose and would now be glad to contribute money to keep "Jyieak What I Think" out of a drunkard's grave, not withstanding his very immoral proposition to buy the company of young ladies with a pint of moonshine whiskey. No, the re spectable girls of North Carolina, like the good girls of lowa, do not keep the company of young men with "a pint of good old whiskey ijt their pockets." Yes, I too am glad you do not live in lowa, for the North Carolinians who are now here do not belong to the class who call strongdrink "mighty good." They are of a superior class of young men, and thus honor the Old North State. ()NK WH) L >VES Y >l T YET. Japanese Lose 28.000. London, July LI.
