HOT SHOT
Tom and Jerry.
No one can read the article appear
ing in the Argus, under the heading
of “Fair Flay Writes Again,” and o
ver the signature of S. K. Smith, with
out at once reaching the conclusion
that someone haß assailed the char
acter of Mr. J. R. Carmichael.
Why do you not stick to the text?
Tom aud Jerrv said, and now re
peats it; that J. R. Oarmichuel did
not have any thing to do with the es
tablishing of the R. F. D. mail ser
vice in Butts County, nor anywhere
else. Tom and Jerry did not mean to
“jump on” Carmichael when he took
that position, but meant to cull down
the ona, who, no doubt, Ignorantly
stated the proposition.
In this day and time there is too
much evidence of a proneness to laud
hurrah, praise and worship men who
ure supposed to be rich. Mr. E. C.
Cawbiion is the one who bore the brunt
of the work of getting our people to
take hold of tha R. F. D. system.
He is, comparativoly, a poor man,
lienee we have never heard his name
mentioned. I have never thought it
right to throw up your hat and huirah
for Gen. Bully Dick for whipping the
battle of Pulltight and not say a word
about the poor private who really won
the day. God Almighty help us to
give credit and praise to the poor as
well as the supposed rich. Torn and
Jerry yearns for the day in which peo
ple will cease to worship gold.
“Fair Play” says : “I feel persuad
ed that thare are many people
in Butts County who will agree with
me that Mr. Carmichael has never
proven false to any trust reposed to
his keeping.”
I ask you, Mr. Smith, to point out
to me any statement I have ever
made to the contrary. X have never
said in any of my writings that he
was, or wus not trustworthy.
I will not be the juror to sit on that
case. T will make you th3 juror, and
the first witness I put on the stand
will be Rev. C. W. H umphrevs.
Take the stand doctor.
Q. Doctor qo you know J. It, Car
michael ?
A. Yes.
Q What relations did you sustain
to him while you lived in Jackson?
A. I was his pastor and he my
deacon.
Q. Did you, doctor, ever have any
business dealing with deacon Car
ol i char 1 ?
A. Yes.
Will you state what some of
those transactions were?
A. When the First National Rank
was organized I gave him $‘2500 00
for 25 shares of stock. He afterwurds
came to me and said.
"Doctor, crops have been poor and
collections bad. I need help. I will en
able you to help me and make it prof
itable for you.”
I asked him how I could help him.
He said:"You let me have your
stock issued in my name and I will
guarantee you 8% dividends aud all
the sto'k earnings by way of increase
value of same I will also transfer to
you your stock at any time you call
for it.”
Q. Doctor did he carry out the
promise to you?
A. No. I called for ray stock to be
trausferod, but he did not do it. He
undertook to put a different constuc
tion on our agreement other than
what it was. He claimed he had nought
my stock. I was forced to secure the
service of an attorney at law to bring
him to a settlement according to the
contract. In the settlement, fiinally,
he admitted ray ownership of the
stock and I secured a settlement.
Doctor at the last election for
water and light bonds did you regis
ter?
A. Yes.
Q. Were you placed on the de
faulters list?
A. The Council of which my dea
con Carmichael was a member, had
me summoned before them to show
e rase why I should not be stricken
from the list as a defaulter.
Q. Were you a defaulter ?
A. No. The day of the trial I
could not get the tax book. When I
did get it I carried it to my deacon
Carmichael and offered to show him
that the book showed that I was not
a defaulter. He flew into a passion
and said: “I will not look at it and
don’t want to hear a word—not a
word — not A word —NOT A VV ORD !”
Q. Doctor what position did you
take in the election?
A. I was Opposeu to a bond issue,
but did not at first expect to register,
but when I saw the young men of
Jackson spending the night in cow
pastures in social conclave with ne
groes and marching next morning
side by side with them to vote and
with the seeming approval of church
men and professed Christians, I took
my position against such Conduct and
with held my vote.
Q. How did deacon Carmichael
stand od the question?
A. He was a strong partisan on
the bond side.
Q. Doctor do yon suppose the
council of which your deucon Car
michael was a member would have
had you arraigned as a tax defaulter
if you had been a warm bond suppor
ter?
A. I can answer that only this
way. Those who were for bonds found
but little trouble in getting on the
voters list.
“Doctoi, you may come down for
the present, but don’t, leave the call
of the court, as I may put you back
on the stand.
The Court: Mr. Sheriff wake up ju
ror Smith. He seems to be getting
sleepy.
The next witness I desire to intro
duce is J. N. Knowles.
Come to the ;taDd Mr. Knowles.
Q. Mr. Knowles did you ever have
any business transactions with J. R.
Carmichael?
A. Yes,
Q What was it?
A. During the summer of IS9I I
hauled him some lumber.
Q Did lie pay you for it?
A. No sir.
Q. Did he deny owing you for it?
A. No.
Tell us all about the transac
tor.
A. Well, I owed him a note at the
time I hauled the lumber. He placed
on the note a cedit which reads as
fo'lows: -36.62 By "/c from 1893 led
ger, page 372. 4/19 —1891 In Jm.
189 G. afti r my lumber account be
came bnrred by the statute of limita
tion he erased the credit from the
note and placed the same in suit,
I pleaded the lumber account as a
set off and he then pleaded that my
account was barred by the statute of
limitations. I had to pay the note
and got nothing for the lumber.
Q. Do you mean to say that J R.
Carmichael paid a debt by {leading
the statute of limitations?
A. No. His plea did not nay it,
but enabled him to escape its pay
ment.
Q Do you expect for him to pay
it yet?
A. Y r es, if he is the sort of hair
pin that S. K. Smith says he is.
Mr. Knowles can’t you be mis
taken about this?
A. No. Look on the minute book
of Butts Superior Court page 135 aud
see the record of it.
The Court s Mr. Sheriff wake up
juror Smith.
Sheriff: Wake up Mr. Smith !
Judge I believe he is dead.
Now Mr Smith, if you are not dead
I want to propound to you a question
or two.
Ist. Do you think that the saintly
man of God, 6uch as was, and is, Doc
tor Hutnobreys, received such treat
ment at the handa of his deacon Car
michael as a deacon’s pastor should
receive?
2nd. Don’t you thiuk he was put
on the defaulters list in order to hu
miliate him?
3rd. Don’t you think his deacon
Carmichael who was on the council
should have seen to it that he was
in fact a defaulter before ho was put
on the list with that lot of greasy
hoodlum niggers?
4th. Did the life Doctor Hum
phreys lived in our midst deserve
such vr&nton disregard as it received

at the hands of his deacon?
Gfch. Did deacon Carmichael meas
ure up to YOUR standard of true
worth when he pleaded the statute of
limitations to escape the payment of
an undented indebtedness?
I will freely confess that there cir
cumstances which justify such a plea,
hut in no case will.a man be justified
in the sight of God and hoxest men
when he does not. deny owing a debt
which is barred. If you keep up your
effort to convince the people that
John is an angel come down from :.-
bove you ate liable to bring about
some exposures, which Tom and Jer
ry is not ready to give out now, that
wll change your opinion. But y©u
say "I claim the right to form my es
timate of people according to iny own
standards of true worth, and not ac
cording to those laid down by other
people.”
This being your mode of estimating
the standing of people, as to whether
or not you will change your opinion
depends upon how high or high low
YOUR "standards’ are. I am afraid
though, if your standard is built to
fit the facts of this controversy the
general public will reject your ‘ ‘stand
ards of true worth.”
I expect before this controversy is
over the people will knew "who killed
Cock-robin” or "who shot Pap. ”
