The Mayor Not Resentftil.
Edltor of The Tlmos-Dlspatch:
Slr.-Vour-artlcle In The Timea-DlsptUch
from Uoydton, January 28th, l? misleadlng,
lt says "Mayor Daniel. the nowly elected
oxecutlvd ot tho town, apiiears to resent
\vt li muoh vohemonoo tho aetlon of the

wrtJMuvp. letter to Sh-rlff Beales, asklng
thnt ofTlrer to plense come down and
open up a. right of way for hls people, as
they are blookod In on hoth sldee."
I dld not reScnt the aetlon of Boydton
or Lacros*o ln ouuraiitlnlug; In fact, 1
thlnk they n<|Uv| In a most honorable
mnntmr tn nrotect thelr people. I have
uover Uttorefl a word of erlttclsm against
tho town of Uoydton. But several roltabte
farmers wh? reslde rast of Locroasft, Va ,
tlesirexj to brlng tobiireo to the South IIII 1
tobacco market, and wrOto the warenousi-s
hero that they got as far as fjioronse and
were told by nn offlcer there "that tljej.
might go through bOcrOMO <U> South Hlll,
but they could not return through there
t? thelr homes." Several turned bn/'k and
others came on, but returned by another
road to tfiheir homes.
I't-on complalnt to me by tho warehouse
people here I wroto to .Mr. U*ales in sttb
stitnce as follows; "It ls reported to us
that the quarantlne, oflloJals ut I?iorossc '

that th?v have the right to forbid partlos |

I 'horefore. requeste.i the sherlff to seo
