While no doubt you intended -this humorously, it may be wrested ' to my injury.. I therefore desire to say that I am a peaceable, law-abid ing citizen, having no Intention or idea of shooting or otherwise injur- r intranv man nnlnaa in anlfilnfanras I know, too, that the law will protect me from any slanderous publication ' which the Southern Railway Com pany may instigate against me and that suoh a persecution will rebound tb my advantage among the honest " people of the State. I have enough acquaintance with the ways of thia corporation to know that it will spare neither money nor influenoe to ruin me if it can. No scruples of honesty or truth ever embarrasses its action when it sets out to crush a oitizen or "down" a man In Railroad parlanoe. I know that many good citizens tremble before its power and that persons injured by its negligence forbear to sue on aooount of fear and threats made against them. Two of my clients have been attempted to be intimi dated by its agents recently. It is too absurd to be taken seri ously that I was a candidate for direotor on the N. C. R. R , or that took oases against the Southern Railway without fees. These news papers are hard run for material to resort to suoh misrepresentation as this I know neither of the gentle men who wrote these articles, and I feel sure I never did either of them a wrong, and why they should at tempt to injure my oharaoter I know not There is but one explanation that I can see, and that is that it was done to please the Southern Railway. rue old R. fc D. R. R. went through the mill of the Federal Courts and was relieved of millions of honest debts it owed the honest people of the State' and it now ap pears on the stage again disguised as the Southern Railway Company, owning every dollar's worth of property of the R. A D., but dis charged of its debts. It has over fifty millions of dollars and has agents all over the State to do its bidding and I am weU aware of its ' malignant persecution of me, which began more than a year ago, lap peal to the people of North Carolina to give me fair play in my persojual struggle with this giant corporation and its friends. I have simply exer cised the liberty of the press and the liberty of speech about publio affairs, which every editor in the State is ready to contend for, and it is unjust and unfair to abuse me personally for doing so, inssead of answering my article with reason and truth. If I have stated the law Incorrectly let the many attorneys of this corporation expose it. I will submit to correction. I am battling for the rights of the people and I appeal to them for justios and protection. I have pointed ont the evil designs of this giant monopoly that threatens to overshadow the State and suggested the remedy to prevent it If the people choose they oan use these means, or not, as they please. That is for them. If persecution oomes through the press, which stands by this monopoly, I will try to bear it patiently for truth's sake D. Sohknox. We publish the above from Jndge Sohenok mainly because it is inter esting reading. We oan assure the Judge that there has been no dispo sition to injure his oharaoter, and bia suggestion that publications oonoerning him were to please the Southern Railway ia not worth re ply so far as this paper is oonoerned. Judge 8chenck has been a publio man and is open to pnblio comment. W have a sincere regard for the high oharaoter and ; patriotism of Judge Sohenok. bnt be sometimes writes and acta in advisedly.
