...have no doubt but that items of news in the article are substantially correct, but your reference to "Jellybeans" is all wrong, and especially your explanation in the note. You define a jellybean as a heap this "Southern small opprobrium town upon the loafer." Why heap this opprobrium upon the South? We are as loyal to your publication as any portion of the country.
