In writing up the shooting affray that it was at first thought would cause the death of Harry Arrick, The Republican said: "He is* said to have been a very clever man and well ""(bought of in his home town.” The 100 per cent pure and undeflled editor of the Jasper County Democrat takes exception to our remark of praise and says that it does not believe that the good people of Monticello would think well of a man whc camtucta a gambling ibl&t Offcoutse,' it is the plan pf some newspaper editors to say something mean about persons on all occasions and even when a fellow is on his death bed to undertake to present his worst side to the public and to cause those to whom he might have been dear, added humiliation! 1 and disgrace. The Republican did not say that Arrick was defended by any one in Monticello because he was either the runner or frequenter of a poker joint. The Republican did. not say that Arrick was either clever or of high standing but did say that “he was well thought of in his home town." Arrick was unknown to us. We never saw him that we know of, never say Watkins or

any of the participants In the neartragedy and would not defend the despicable business in which they were engaged, but we have never presumed that a man was wholly bad bedtusi he had one fault even though It was a bad one. Arrick may have had some good traits and it was thus represented to us and with some charity at /a time when the cruel hearted would probably say all the mean things they could about him. The, Republican said that "he is said to have been a very clever man and well thought of In his home town." We are glad to say it, hope that it Is entirely true and hope that Mr. Arrick gets well so that he can prove that he is deserving of the well meant eulogy. We have known a certain newspaper, a democratic newspaper, not many miles away,.to support for offices of trust, men who were recognised as frequenters of gambling. Joints, men who had been fined for playing poker. 6ut that is another story. Harry Arrick may have had faults, most men have, but even had he been wholly bad, "The Republican believes that a word of cohid not have come amiss at a time when he war fjy ceive the kieks of self-branded angelic critics. ; •That home made candy at Leavel’a * bakery is delicious.
