Capt. While’s statements
show that you did accept and
acquiesce in 'the' result and
your present attitude as an
independent was your after
thought. There is another
evidence that you are “hard
up.” You say that it is repor
ted that some of the nomi
nees are pledged to favor the
factory (NIiss. Mills) in leg
islation, Now this is untrue
and I will tell yon why. The
legislation which exempts:
factories from taxation, is as
full and gives to factories all
that they have ever asked,
and the constitutionality of!
this legislation will shortly
he settled by iho U. S. Su
preme court. Should this
court declair in favor of the
constitutionality of the legis !
latiou what more would tlie j
fact-try want? If the court j
should declare against its i
constitutionality, how could I
the legislature make any leg-|
Hal ion to get. around the con i
stitutioii. A constitutional!
convention alone could reach !
ihe ease. It were best for j
f he interests of this youutty
that this eternal tirade ag’nst
this factory legislation should
cease. It is in the courts and i
there let it he settled.

Tlte above is his exact language. I
here reverse the glass, and append
below the letters of Capt. Wm. Oli

Home, Oct. Gth, 1&?9.
W. W. R .boson, E q, Wesson:
Dear Sir—I understand that Mr.
McNeil declared Ins position to you
relative to the factory laws of the
State, when he was canvassing in
Wesson before the primary election.
Please give me in writing his posi
tion as you uudeistood it. Yours
truly, E. A. Rowan.
Wesson, Oct. 7, 1879.
Dr. Rowan —Dear Sir: In replv
to your note, I wi I say that Mr Mc
Neil said to me, when I asked him
how he stood on the “factory ques
tion,” that he was in favor of carry
ing out the law according to con
tract bv the State: that he was all
right so far as that was concerned,
j but he did not wi.-li that question
{agitated; lie gave me to understand
j that his position was as my own,and
j owing to his fair promises and good
] talk on that subject, I cast my vote
i for him in the primary election.
Yours respectfully,
W. W. Robeson.
i J. S. Rea—Dear Sir: A® you .were
! clerk of the primary election held in
j Uta&utu ow- .July 'i2ilvl879, . please
stale in writing if you heard any
j on* electioneering for or against J.
, W. McNeil on that day. Truly,

Dr. R nvan —Rear Sir: I can say
j in reply to yours of even dale that I
was.jR the polls the whom time they
! were open on July 12ih, ’79,and did
I not hear Mr McNeil’s name m union
j ed uatilaoout two thirds of the voles
huu been cast, Capt. Oliver came to
! vote and asked mo how the election
; was going for representative.-? 1
: informed him that Rowan and Hun
ter were thought to be in the major
ity. He remarked, “I am surprised
to hear that, I was sure Mr McNeil
would be ahead, for lie is the best
liiend to the Mississippi mills and
our folks here ought to vote for him.’
Ali the votes Mr. McNeil received
here must have been through Copt.
Oliver’s influence,for r.o one else took
any interest in his election. Yours,
in haste, J. S. Rea.
Home, Oct. oth, 1879.
Copt. Win. Oliver, Sec y and Trea
surer Mississippi mills, Wesson —
Dear Sir: In the last issue of the
Copiahan (Oct. 4th.) J. W. McNeil
brings the accusation against me
and some of the oilier candidates
that were before the people in tho
primary election and county conven
tion for m mination for the Legisla
ture, that we pledged ourselves in
behalf of tlie factory, <tc; I under
stood from you that you supported
Mr McNeil in the primary election
and did so for the reason that he
stated to you in private conversa
tion in Wesson, that lie was friendly
to the Factory and would do all he
could to promote such enterprises,
nndjUjifl.opposed to the great preju
dice that existed against tluTFaeto'
ry in the county. If I arn correct
please say so in writing,and state if
I or any of the other candidates did
any more, or even as much in the
wav of pledging as J. W. J/cNeM.
Yours truly, E. A. Rowan.
Wesson, Oct. Gth, 1879.
Dr. E. A. Rowan—
Dear Sir :— Yours of the 6th at
hand and in roplj beg to state: That
a few days prior to the primary elec
tion at this place, J. W. McNeil
called upon me and stated he was a
candidate for the Legislature and
solicited my influence in his behalf.
1 informed him, I would not support
any man for any office, who was op
posed to encouraging capital to come
into our state to be invested in man.,
ufacturing. That because the own
ers of the Mississippi mills bad been
induced 10 invest their capital in
manufacturing upon the express con
ditions of an act of the Legislature,
that said Mississippi mills, would or
should be exempt from paying taxes
for ten years, a strong prejudice had
arisen in flte minds of many against
us, and office’seekers had prejudiced
the minds of many, telling them the
rich were exempt from toxation
while tile poor were made to pay
taxes, forgetting it seems or losing
sight of the advantages to the,coun
ty and State (but- not of the office
they were seeking) of the introduc
tion of millions dollars to be invest
ed in building Facto: ies.wnich would
give employment to the poor widows
atidroi plians in our State,#no save
stiirva
tjou They fail to soe that capital
thus i uhauccs the value of
ai> 1 prdj iitijftibmt fo ,and in
crease#. taxable &'* gjr and
thus reduces the gencrof Air.
McNeil in the course et o ver
sation give me to undersj lid our
Mills hud no friend or w wisher
who would go further tl would
ito foster oiid encourage cu eu-.
terprises, that it was a iig to
to our count j.aitd he made favor
aide a r. impression upon in<£,that. I
advocated bfp electton and voted for
liitn at the primer? election.'
So tnuchifor his boasted friendship
to out enterprise. Youis very truly.
Wm, Outer.
jT KBEM8 FROM TUE RFFLBOTlON OF
the glass, that when Mr. McNeil
was in Wesson lie was a fictorv
man, when in other parts of the
county an anti-factory man. McNeil
also uses this language about me:—
“Dr. Rowan said again that he be
lieved that my action in the conven
ti*.m was lhe cause ol his defeat.’’ I
did not say as much, I said I belie
ved it aided in tny defeat. Do fur
ther -ays, ' It was his own record in
the legislature, favoring class legis
lation in tha case of the W»onfac
tory,” I will state to tl.a diiizeWof
the entity that tpeh the
above have teen used aojfinst me in
vaiiou- parts of the county, wliicii
are unfounded, as 1 am satis-fied mj
recoid will show. There was no
man that worked harder in the cam'
paign of 1875, to carry our ticket,nr
to make a faithful and honest mem
ber of the legislature, than I did du
ring my term of office—and 1 ain
not ashamed or afraid of my record,
f stood then and stand now on the
Factory haws as all reasonable and
honest men in the county : That is
to carry out the contract of the State
with the Factories in good faitb.
Mr. McNeil is the first to publi-h
my name as a dishonest* member of
the legislature and impeach my. in
tegrity as a public officer. And now
I call upon him for the proof jf his
assertion which will befairlv met.—
I propose to vindicate my cause in
this matter before (he people of Co
piah county. Mr. McNeil shall not
ride into office by slandering me or
nnv other man, who has ever been
faithful to his friends and native
land. E. A. Rowak.
REPLY TO J. M. NORMAN.
— . »
Mr. Nonnan begin? his review o;
my card by saying, ‘T wish to notice
some points in Mr. J. J. Ellis’card.
&o. I would not do so if he had not
made the charge of fraud in which
I am directly interested.” N. speaks
out plainly and acknowledges lie
was directly interested in the fraud.
Own u;> N. like a man, "an honest
confession is good for the soul.” lie
says, "I announced my name subject
to the action of the Democratic Con
servative party.” So did 1, but what
was its action? it was the order o!
the Executive committee, the repre
sentatives of the vaj-tyj, for a Con- ■
vention. N. would gladly maU^' ii
appear, if lie could .that 1 announced
su'ject to a primary election instead
of a convention.
Mr. N. asks if I will deny appro
ving the suggestion for a primary
election. I certainly did prefer a
primary election to a convention
and so expressed myself, because 1
believed the people preferred it, but
the Executive committee met and
condemned it and ordered a Con
vention, which was with singu'ar
unanimity submitted to. The can
didates (at least those of us at a dis
tancc from the court house)canvars
cd foi a convention until the prima
ry election was suggested.
Now, how was that suggestion
brought about? Dili not theuuilior
of it derive his inspiration fiom the
court house? Was he not beset ev
ery day until he finally yielded, and
was not the tickets for the occasion
entered and paid for by tlic same
source? Why this magnan|hiitj? —
Was it all fair or Was therft'a pur
pose iu ii? That character of pri
mary election I was utterly opposed
to, and so expressed myself; I was
not consulted and knew nothing of
it until the suggestion appeared in
print. Of course 1 then lmd to
change the tactics of canvassing and
did all I could in tiie short lime al
lowed to get votes.
It sceius strange that N should
call upon me to locate the frauds
practiced by the convention, espec
ially as i;s acts have been so thor
oughly ventilated and exposed. In
ilie first place, it was informally
and illegally organized, there being
no committee on credentials appoin
ted! Wustliat fair or was it a fraud?
The rale3 adopted gtyawn’ng the
convention were vtbfatnJ* the evi
dence of which appears on the tally
sheets. Again, a certain delegate
prepared a resolution decidedly un
usual in its character, that the dele
gatesbe permitted to vote as they
pleased. The same delegate had an
amendment in readiness the purport
of which was in diiect opposition to
to the resolution. Was that honest
or a fraud. The resolution and am
endinent ware placed in the hands
of two other delegates. The resolu
tion was submitted and before it was
actid upon the amendment was of
fered, not by precincts, as that wo'd
have defeated N’s nomination, but
direct to the convention. The pliant
chairman in his eagerness to Lave
it passed cut off all debate, Nearly
as many voting outside who were
not delegates as within the bar.—
Was tha( honest and fair, or was it
a fraud? N can get names if he
wants them. Before the candidates
from sheriff down took the pier ge a
delegate from Crystal Springs of
fered a resolution reconsidering the
aforesaid amendment, after the res
olution was read and in connection
with it another delegate moved that
all the candidates be voted for at
once, the vote was taken and pron
ounced carried- I then thought, as
all my friends did. that the delegates
were released from the manacles;
then it was that I took the pledge,
and when voting commenced the
chairman decided that the motion
was earrkij aud the resolution not,
; 11; ■' -Jim.
Was that a fraud or wss i» holiest?
H r. N. »eeiH% to gftrf M Jtei»l,$f
Kfipretatidn as is whlf F sain1™
regard to the primary vote instruc
ting the delegates. 1 did not in
tend. to convey that idea, as I re
garded the primary as an imposi
tion upon us by thejing, void and
invalid and without' any formality
whatever to havtflf bold. The in
struct idea was suggested and ac
ted upon as the only hope of muz
zling the delegates. It w&s a grand
thought and worked well in the
convention for Mr. N. * Bill will the
voters in the election in Novem
ber be governed by it t 1 know
they will not. Mr. N. and his
friends in their present movements
seem to be acting like a ship at
sea without a rudder. 1 submit
ted my name as a candidate tor
Chancery clerk, and had it not
been for the aforesaid suggestion
and the wirepullers in the conven
tion, 1 would unquestionably have
been the nominee, as a large ma
jority of the delegates would have
voted for me. Mr N, asks ilit my
allegiance to the democratic party
was induced by hope of office.”
My allegiance to said party runs
higher than to resort to as unfair
and unjust means to obtain an of
fice as he has resorted to in order
to retain liis, Mr. N. says “I
ought to withdraw my card tor the
sake«f ifiyvfriends, relntites, and
'Connections.” What does lie care
fur my friends, relatives, and con
nections f Ue ought to have said
for his sake, as they are fully in
accord with my movements, think
ing that lie was honest in saying
that he wanted the office only for
oi.e term. In the previous conven
tion when I withdrew in Ins favor
he was so elated that he said he
was indebted to mV for his noini
nation, and would support me if 1
ever offered for an office again.
Will Mr. N. deny tlmt lie peeihjed
himselt to another candidate in the
previous convention after lie with
drew to support him for Chan
cery clerk next term, if he would
give him his influence and support
then, which he did. Will N. ex
plain to the people why, he charges
the poor hard fisted people $1 50
for rrcoiding Deeds in Trust, and
only charges the rich $1 25? Con
sistency is a jewel,, hut seems to he a
scarce commodity in Mr. N.’s com
position. '

To My Customers And Friends.
j Gentlemen: It is a true saying
niuoug old and experienced fann
ers and snccessful merchants, that
the planter who picks, gins and
liiarkets hi* cottou early ill the
fall, fares'more profitably in nine
years out often, than he who do^s
not* This profit arises from the
fact that in selling early he re-i
ctiyesjilmost invariably the high
est prices, and, in addition to this,
saves from teu to fifteen pounds
on the weight of every bale tKrft
be markets early, as it is a well
known fact that cotton ginned im
mediately after being picked ye
tains the oil in the lint, but when
it is picked and placed in houses
to remain perhaps for months, the
oil returns to the seed, thus mak
ing the lint lighter, and of course
resulting in loss to the owner.
Taking the above tacts into con
sideration, and also tbe fact that
it is much more pleasant and sat
isfactory to bdth merchant and
farmer, when settlements are made
early, I earnestly ask a id request
my customers to bring in their cot
ton and Complete settlements with
me as early as possible.
1 am now receiving a large and
cheap stock of dry goods and gro
ceries from the Eastern and Wes
tern markets* pirn-hashed for the
cash at yock .bottom prupspmid
1 would say tnfhtoe who have ob
tained supplies‘of me this year,
that I will sell you goods at a very
small margin above cost, in order
to enable you to place a large bal
ance of the proceeds of your cot
ton on your accounts.
Bring in your cotton early my
friends, while, the price is up, and
let us get through with ns much
of this seasoii’s business as possi
ble before a decline iu the price of
cotton takes place.
Respectfully.
