Show Some tlmo ngo tho editor of the ' Trcmont Times published the following fol-lowing hostllo note concerning tho Qnrlnnd Sugar factory and tho grow-of grow-of beets: "If I were a former and raised beets for tho Garland sugar factory, signing sign-ing ono of their ironclad contracts; I think I would incorporate In that n proviso Hint I should havo whnt sugar sug-ar I needed for family uso nt tho same prtco that the Co. soils It for to the astern dealers, and If tho company would not agrco to that I would raise oats or wheat, and I would ndvlse nil my neighbors to do tho same." . Soon nftcr this he camo to Oarland Oar-land and culled upon Hest. Mgr. Mo-slah Mo-slah Evans at the sugar factory office of-fice and desired to securo somo Information In-formation for publication. Mr. Evans Ev-ans referred him to tho article above nnd simply stated Hint ho hnd nothing noth-ing for publication to offer the Times as ho bollovcd Hint paper to be hostllo hos-tllo toward the Institution. Mr. Times went out of town considerably miffed nt tho rccoptlon tendoretl him, brooded over 't!io nffnir for thrco weeks, and then exploded In tho following fol-lowing slanderous attack upon Mr. Evnns "Somo men get swelled bends when they get Into positions with largo salaries attached. Wo know n gen-Homan gen-Homan or that class. His head is getting so big Hint he will huvo to get a stopladder boforo long lo put on his hat. Ho refuses to tnlk with us for publication because wo said something ubout not raising beets for tho sugar company if w,o could not get sugar chenp as It Is In the oast. Ho has an idea that, wo aro unfriendly unfriend-ly to the sugar company. Hut ho is llko other groat men. They sonic-times sonic-times mnko mistakes and ho Is not exempt from tho fallings of nil great men. Ho mnkes a mistake. Wo aro not unfriendly to tho sugar company, but. wo nro unfriendly to pnylng n dollar for fourteen pounds of sugar when pcoplo seven to ten hundred miles from hero enn got eighteen pounds of tho same sugar for a dollar. dol-lar. If this big man don't wnnt to talk to .us for publication wo shall try t0 got somo informntion fiom other sources.- Wo hnvo an Idea that ,Mr., Havemeycrnr-f. n. Cutler Vlll either of thorn bo willing to give "us all tho Information wo wish to got nnd nelthor of them Is nfrald to "talk for publication" but tho big man at Garland Is. Dy tho way, his namo Is Lvans. nnd ho is way above and bigger thnn Mr. Hnvemeyor or Mr. Cutler." Somo editors carry In their fossilized fossi-lized caraneuniH somo very peculiar IdeaB. There Is ono such at Trcmon-ton. Trcmon-ton. Ho would either hnndlo the sugnr business of this vnlley to his liking or crush it. This nntlquatod editor would, If ho hud his way, ban-dlo ban-dlo both onds 0f tho business, simply letting tho factory grind up boots nnd mnko sugar for him nt whatever price ho might dictate. Wo presume that If ho wero a cnttlo mnn ho would not soil his hides to nny ono who would not promiso to sell him shoes nt a loss prlco than ho would to tho othor fellow nnd that ho would not soil his meats to a butchor unless ho In return could buy his cholco cuts nt a reduction. Ho would not soil his wool to a manufacturer unless I tho manufacturer would guarantee to I sell him his winter clothing at a less prlco than ho would to his merchant, or If ho wero a miner ho would not dig tho precious motnls from the rocks und soil them to nnyono who would not In return contract to sell him his gold nnd silver dollars chenp-or chenp-or ban ho would to tho grower of beets. After reading his artlclo of somo weeks ago In which ho did all In his power to prejudice tho farmers a- gainst the growing of boots except under unbusinesslike methods, is it any wonder Hint tho management declined to tnlk for publication to such u Rip Vnn Winkle. A friend of the sugnr company? Dnh! We tako It that tho growing of beets Is a 'profltnblo business to tho fnrmer elso ho would not grow them, nnysentimcntalltyof tho editor of tho Tretnont Times to tho contrary notwithstanding. not-withstanding. IWe would suggest, Hint If ho docs not llko tho conditions, prices, ect., that obtain here, thut he hlo himself buven or ton hundred miles east where things aro moro to his liking. Scat!
