Editor Cherokee Advance:
Sir—I see in your paper of the
30th Sept., Ult., an article Irom
this place, over the signature ot
“Voter,” which justice to myself
and family demands I should no*
tice. I therefore beg space in
your columns to reply. I cannot
however, condescend to answer in
the spirit of that article, for I do
not believe that the spirit of thut
article, and the spirit of truth can
dwell together, and I only wish to
write the truth.
I have always had an aversion
to newspaper oon troversies, uud
hoped that it would never devolve
upon myself as a duty to write any
thing for publication; but it seems
that “Voter” has seen fit without
provocation to drag my name iolo
a controversy between himself and
“Forsyth.” I now deolare that I
hud nothing whatever to do with
the article of “Forsyth,” knew
nothing of its contents, until my
attention was called to it after it
was published in your paper. And
“Forsyth” being a brother to “Vo
ter’s” mothor, and they being
“bone of one bone, and flesh ot
one flesh,” I was anxious that they
keep their quarrel in their own
family.
I have never given “Voter” any
provocation to assail my private
character or professional reputa
tion in a*<y wise, and he has cer
tainly verified the truth of the
wise tuau’e words, when bo said,
“Truly a serpent will bite with rat
enchantment, and a babler is no
better.”
In answer to his charge that 1
had never lost an opportunity to
heap slander and vile vituperation
upo.i the family of “Forsyth,” I
must say that 1 cauuot see how 1
could have beeu more severe upon
“Forspth”thanJiis nephew' 1 Voter,”
and if “Forsyth” is such a man as
“Voter” has tepresentod him to be
and “Voter” m turn is as “For
syth” reposenta him, how could I
slander“FwsythV family, unless
I did so by speaking well of “Vo
ter,” for in order to slander a poi
son you must speak falsely of
him.
The charge et being a slauderer
comes with poor grace from Voter,
and in a community where I am
known, it needs no contradiction*
and I am willing for those who met
me, and heard my speeches during
the canvass, between mysotf and
Mr. Eakes, to say tor themselves,
whether or not in that cauvass l
manifested the disposition of a
slanderer or played the roll oY a
vituperationist.
In the next place “Voter” says,
that “Being a lawyer and depon*
dent upon the number of cases
brought into court tor a support
I furnished the date upon which
many of these frills of iuilictment
were founded. Now “Voter” well
knows that I am net dependent up
on the proiession of law for my
support, that I derive thatsnpport
mainly from a' smhll farm which I
cultivate nearly entirely by my
own labor and that the income
from iny profession is nearly an
entire net gain to me, over and
abovo a support. I have never
life, nor been a witness in any
arithiuul case (save one) in any of
the courts ot this fctute, and in
that case I wns the prosecutor
Again, “Voter” says “Mr. Eakes
was not a member of the firm of
Siiqs Bros A (jo. at the time of the
compromise and settlement of their
indebtedueps. and that the gentle"
men composeing that firm turned
oven to their creditors a sufficient
amount of property to pay their in
tiro indebtedness, and that since
that time 1 had the management
and control of the same, and if
their debts were not fully paid, it
wkfl 1 mving to the fact that I had
gobbled or mismanaged the prop
erty ! of said parties .” My answer
in this case does not require that
I should prove that Mr. Makes was
a member of said firm nt that time,
but if it did I would have no trou
ble in producing five different in
struments in writing, under seal
and properly witnessed, signed by
Mr. Eakes himself,establishing that
fact.
Now the facts hre these, on the
2d day of March, 1S7G. the two
firms (which were composed of the
saute persons) R. A. Eakes <fc Co.
and Sim- Bros A Co. settled their
indebtedness in Atlanta, with their
creditors, w hich indebtedness ag
gregated the sum of $5939,10, at
the rate ol fifty coats in the dollar*
giving tlieir notes for the same to
their ^editors for the respective
aiuouui due them, which notes ag
gregated the sum of 29ii9,55, and
pendent upon the uncertainty of
frail human memory for the ovi-
dettco of all these luots; but I have
thorn iu writing, under seal and
properly witnessed. And 1 sim
ply ask if those facts be truo, does
it look like I had gobbled the
property or mismanaged the busi
ness of those people? 1 am in
formed that one of the men com-
poseing those firms, and who knows
the above facts to ho true, and Mr.
lakes’ son wore in tho room at the
time “Voter’s” article was written,
aud that Mr. Eakes himself, after
lutttg informed of the contents of
tho article, carried the eaino to
your town and caused it to he
published. I don’t know whether
these fuots ure true or not, hut I
hope for the respect 1 huvo always
entertained for those three gentle
men that it is not Into.
Now Mr. .Editor, “Voter” said,
“He was responsible for every
word of’his article, and that it was
all capable of proof.” lie Raid Mr
Eakes was tho choice of a majority
ot the Voters of Forsyth county,
and yet almijority of two huudred ' um 8 UR ’. Gen. <> at troll we know to

AN UNMANLY ARTICLE.
In the Chronicle und Constitu-
tiouluist, (a paper printed in Au
gusta, (la.,) of the 8th inst., appears
one of the most ungenerous, tmli-
oious atul unmanly articles iu re
gard toOoe. Gartr.dl that was ever
penned by man. We do not know
who wrote it, bat the author displays
a venom worthy of a rattles tak--. fr.
is fair however, to presume that, it
whs wri ten by the editor of that pa
per, and in commenting upon it wo
w 11 assume that its editor wrote it.
In the first place the editor starts
by saying that Gen. GartToll is go
ing to contest the gubernatorial el
ection. Ho makes the statement
upon his own responsibility, and
without, uny aiUhontive ‘assertion
from the General that he will do so.
.1/ iking his own bare, baseless, und
imaginary statement a foundation,
he proceeds to utter more lals*hoods
to the square inch than have ever
lullen from the lips flof man sines
the day that Annulling was so stvU
detily punished lor lying, ll'nat
reason Its can havo lor making such
mendacious statements wo cannot
ami emphatically contradicted that
fact at tho ballot box. Now I ask
will bo prove that proposition? lias
ho shown himself to be to the pooplo
that wisdom must die with him ?
No, Mr. Editor, my character
for honesty, integrity and open
fair handed dealing and candid
speaking, need uo proof whore 1
— - atn kuown, aud a majority of one
also assigned to their creditors tho hundred and thirty-one of the vo- 110 ‘
usaeU WkHsging to said firua or whtvh
“ l i ‘* , "“ J * u ~ mynelf and Mr. Eakes have boon
firms, which were placed iu the
hands of John 0. James, one of the
members of said linns, to he col
lected and paid over to their cred
itors iu satisfaction of said notes.
The individual members of said
firms also deeded, certain real es
tate to their creditors as collateral
security for the payment of said
notes. With this compromise and
settlement 1 had nothing to do,
either as counsel, party or other
wise. Nor did I ever imve any
thing to do with said matter, until
the fitb day of January, 1880, when
the above mentioned notes, having
still due and uppaid on them, the
sum of $2057,02, wore placed in
my bauds for collection, und 1
brought Buits in Forsyth Superioi
Court upon the same. On the 3d
day of February, 1881, the soveral
creditoisof said firms, (except -J.
M. Alexander & Co.) agreed, that
if the individual members of said
firms, would surrender tho posses
sion of tho property deeded, and
pay the costs, the same would he
uccepted in full satisfaction of their
respective claims, jpid all ot said
property was then und there in-
ventoried.atid valued by Mr. Eakes
and myself, to be worth $11 7o,00
and on the 12th day ot iebruaty,
1881, said property, together with
what was considered as the avail
able assets of said firms still on
hand, which was estimated at tho
sum $300,00, was surrendered to
me, by the members of said fi r m,
and their debts satisfied in full.
And this was the first time (to-wit
12th Feb. 1881,) that any of the
assets of Raid firms, cr the property
of said parties, ever came into my
hands, possession or control. Since
that time I have sold part of that
raised, and whore we havo lived
nearly ull our lives, and a majority
of two hundred aud fitly ot tho vo
ters of my county, in making a
choice between one of her good
cili/.ons and myself, havo east their
ballots for mo, and by so doing
liuvo forever falsified tho charges
brought against mq by “Voter,”
anil doclurod to tno world, that
they who know me host, hive con
fidence iu my honesty, ability and
integrity. And when 1 consider
the tact tiiat 1 am the first inde
pendent candidate that has ever
carried this county as against a
democratic nominee. I am prone
to accept of the majority which 1
received in my county, as a com
pliment, of which any man might
ho proud, and I would not to-day
exchange my majority ut home, al
though defeated, lormy opponent’s
majority away from home, with his
success, and I feel confident thut it
the good people of Cherokee Co.
had known me as my own county-
men knew me, thej would havo
cast their ballots differently.
A nil now,.Mr. Edt,allow ms through
your celumas to return ray heart

Co for tlieir kindness, conrtesy and
hospitality to me during my shore
caavasa through your county. God
blkbs tiie people and give them

laud may rejoice.
