on further investigation learn

yv.. Editor: I desire to make a
correction of a statement "as publish
ed in roar paper of last week. 1 You
stated that I sold MeKinne Bros, a
bale of cotton that is not true, for I
never hare sold them any cotton, i
You also stated that they had the selves.
cotton weighed, and it only gained
one pound at one warehouse and
two pounas at another - apart of
that statement is true. It did gain
only one pound at one warehouse,
but it gained three pounds'at another
and five pounds at the ; Riverside
which I can prove. I Holld Mr; Me
Kinne that fhe scales there were
wrong, and he said Ke knew thky
were right. Sirce then the tand
rd keeptr has been Ordered to
Lt.u'wbarg, and ; found the' f calea
I 1 carried thre bales cotton from

The standard keeper told Dr.
J.R. Wheless that one hundred and
torty pounds on the Louisburg scales
would weigh about onev hundred and
wenty-eignt and a halt pounds.
lhw shows who is wrong. The
farmers of Gold Mine do not propose
to loia 11 pounds to the bale.
