The aqueduct of was 47 miles long and 100 feet fo as to furnish the hills. That rtia was 41 miles long, of which |*s were supported on 7,000 arches t high. These would never have juilt had the Romans known that Jwlll always rise to the level of 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.

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. ” Mr. Editor: You are at liberty to give the name of Tom and Jerry to the parties at Interest or to any con fessed "Friday.” ATTENTION ALL!
