Case writes about Hia Letter to the Sun. Editor Times: Permit me to say a few words in defence of my letter in the New . York Sun which you have commented upon so very unfavorably in your issue of the 7th. In the first place I beg to be allowed to point out that my remarks were not iutended to apply to the entire population of the Southern mountain region as your editdrial would seem to imply, but to that part which consti tutes the properly called mountain class; the people who till the soil in tbe valley 8 and upon the slopes of the mountains. Interpreting those re marks as applying to the inhabitats of this region as a whole would make them appear rediculous to an extreme decree, and allowing this misappre hension upon the part of The Times, I" can readily forgivelite sharp criti cisma, even commend it for making them, for, from this mistaken point of view, it is merely doing its duty in re futmg a libelous change. However, in my true aim, I do not think the truth has been missed by a Very wide margin. I have.lived among the mountain people in three states and have become more or -less conver sant with their life and ways. Some communities L have found far more en lightened than others, bat taking the average "backwoods" settlement, the inhabitants of which form a large pro portion of the mountain population, I have found conditions to be very much as I have attempted to describe them in the sun. I- As for my assertion regarding the illiteracy of these people mv intelli gence has been partly gained through business, intercourse . with them in which their signatures were necessary and l have found that in the neighbor hood of ono half could not meet the requirements. It may be that some of them were timid about committing an ungraceful autograph, preferring to profess ignorance; but the result was substantially as I have stated. s Regarding my statement "that of tbo3e people who can' write their names r. . . .... a great numDer can write notning else and a still greater number can not read," I wish to say in explanation that my meaning was exactly that which the words convey, that all of tbe number who can write their names only; together with vsome who "can make translatable marks other than their names, can not read. The word great expresses a rather uncertain number and I should, perhaps, have used a more definite term. I fully agree with The Times that the mountain citizensnip "wilt compare well, in honesty and respect for law witn that or otner sections." in my communication to tbe Sun I expressed regret that a peaceful and con tented people should be drawn in to the great maelstrom of industrial activity with its many evil and corrupting influences out l tnougnt that these would be over balanced by the resulting' good. jastly I would - wish to explain that the occasion of my letter to the SuU was the appearance of an article in that paper regarding the establish ment by philanthropists of training- schools and colleges in this section. My motive is very plain. 1 I could say a great many very nice tmngs about ft large 'number of west era North Carolina people with whom I have come in contact, things which I could say of people in no other sec tion where X have visited, and it is this high, regard of them which has prompted me to make this effort to clear myself of the charge of hav ing reviled them.

Joel Shipman of Greenville., S. C, formerly of Henderson county, died in Charlotte at 7 oclock Wednesday evening. The cause of h is death was asphyxia. Mr. Shipman was a son of Thomas Shipman of this place and brother of James Shipman and Mrs. J. Williams. News reached here Wed nesday that he was in a critical con dition and his brother and sister start ed immediately for Charlotte. Ar rangements were made to bring the remains to Hendersonville by the 12:47 train yesterday and to have the funer al at Ebenezer church at 3 p. m. Mr. Shipman was highly esteemed by those who knew him and his death was a very sudden blow to his many triends. We quote the following accouut of the accident from the Charlotte Observer: r 3C iii STRANGE WEATHER IN AUSTRALIA. Mr. Joel Shipman, of Greenville, S. C, turned on, or blew out, the gas in his room at the Jouford Hotel Mon day night; and bis " physicians state that it is doubtful if he recovers. It is not known whether Mr. Ship- man attempted to commit suicide, or whether the turning on of the gas was the result of accident or ignorance. He arrived in Charlotte from Green ville Monday evening at 7:30 o'clock, and went to the Buford, where he was given a room on the third floor of the hotel. He had supper served in his room at 9 o'clock and ate the supper. JN one or the employes in the hotel saw him after he had finished the meal. A call boy who knocked at Mr. Ship- man's door yesterday morning at 9 o'clock failed to elicit any response He detected the odor or gas and re ported this to the managers of the hotel. The door oi Mr. onipman's room was broken open. He was fou ud in a bed unconscious and iamtiy gasping for breath. There was evidence that he had been nauseated some time dur ing the night. Physicians were summoned and were with Mr. Shipmrn almost every nour yesterday ana last nignc. He is still uu con cious It is presumed that the gas had been turned tin in the room during the greater part of the night, and the large amount of it that Mr. Shipman Inhaled has affected his entire system: though his greatest danger just now results from tne con gested condition of his lungs. Two physicians and a trained nurse are with him constantly and an exception ally heroic ngnc is uemg made to save the unconscious man. The proprietors of the Buford do not believe that Mr. sbipmau tried to commit suicide He is a young man, well dressed, and showed no evidence of despondency. He stated at the hotel Monday evening shortly after his arrival that he would leave the next day for Cooleemee, where he would take a position in a cotton mill. In discussing the occurrence Mr. C. Eccles, one of the proprietors of the Buford, said yesterday that tun be lieved that Mr. onipman eitner mew out the gas or turned it on accident ally, and he added that hotel folk must be constantly on the look-out to avoid such accidents. A large number of persons in the world still have a dangerous ignorance of gas: and there yet travel those who blow out gas, while another class, over precautions, turn on the gas after shutting it with the key. Only two weeks ago one of the chambermaids at the Buford detected tbe odor of gas near the room occupied by a lady who was a guestr The lady was awakened, and it was found that tbe gas was full on. She escaped ' ill effects from tbe accident, yet if the escape of the gas had not been noted she might have been dead by morning. She had , evidently, given a wrong turn to the key after shutting off the gas. ' THE LATEST CREATIONS FOR LADIES' USE.

Thursday, -Nov. 13., a heavv raised v immense quantities of jrom these tracts and drove clouds of , red powdered earth and wide. The atmosphere was op pressive and it was hardly possible to breathe. The darkness was intense while the dust clouds were passing. The inhabitants of numerous towns were badly frightened by the darkness and hid in" their houses. Artificial light was necessary in the streets of Melbourne, where there was also much ball lightning, which ignited several buildings. . It was very, dark in Sydney. The clouds extended twelve miles seaward. The ' railroads in ; some places were blocked by heaps of dust.
