GIVING HIM CAIN.

Ed. Pilot. — l wish to correct a statement made in the Pilot of Feb. 3rd by T. M. Walters in regard to the amount I received of Mr. Walters for damage done by A. McCoy’s cattle. As to Mr. Walters’ work the facts are as follows: Before I shelled my corn last fall I met Mr. Walters one day on the road and during our conversation he asked me when I was going to shell and said he wanted to help me if I would let him have some cobs which I agreed to do. He came and hauled one load of com to town. I let him have one big load of cobs and did part of a day’s work for him. I thought we were about square as one dollar a load is what my other neighbors charged me, which is a rule here.. When we settled for the cattle we never mentioned anything else, of which I am willing to file an affidavit any time. As to me saying my boy and dog were hunting rabbits in Mr. Walters’field and the dog got after the rabbits and scared the cattle through the fence, it is a lie, pure and unadulterated. W. H. Cain.
