Four died in one day near Taze¬ well. It is certainly distressing. The exact number of deaths we failed to get. Since getting the above we learn there were eighteen deaths in and near Tazewell in one month, mostly children who had, had the measles. Too much caution cannot be used in the diet of children, and even older people. Some think going in hot sun after recovering from measles and imprudence in eating may be a leading cause of the futal disease. It is mostly confined to children.

Mr. Editor.—H aving seen one of the numerous pamphlets purporting to be authenticated by one Dr. T. G. Cheney of Schley county,who claims to have been one of the faithful No. present in company with the in¬ vincible and brave Jesse I. Waite, (Traitor to the southern eause) watching and protecting the cause of Democracy from the clutches of Republican demagogues in the dark days of sixty-eight. And to my great surprise and sorrow finding so many contradictory statements iu said pamphlet as well as an attempt to heap at my door falsehood and shame and slander upon the fair name of our Congressman C. F. Crisp, I deem it my duty to show' the public the undoubted fallacy in said publication as well as the in¬ consistency in this great narrative in w hich the political character of Hon. C. F. Crisp is attempted to be reviewbd.I take up first the attempt in this slanderous pamphlet to tar¬ nish my name. “To one who was there as I was this contradiction between Mr.Crispand Mr. Meadows is a matter of supreme amusement Mr. Crisp wrote four years before Mr. letter Meadows published sw’ore and first Mr.Crisp’s in Amori- was cus the very day Mr. Meadows swore in Ellaville.” Now' Cheney says that w ithout intending to cast the slightest reflection if I bad on my verac¬ ity he believes known that Mr. Crisp had admitted in a letter read in Americus on May 27th, that he was at the house of Dr. Carter at the time he is accused, I would have not denied the presence of Mr. Crisp. Now says the infuriated and wild w riting Dr. “take either horn of the dilemma, either Mr. Crisp is a liar or Mr. Meadows is one.” Now taking into consideration the con¬ sistency and plausibility and fair of the two assertions made a minded public will readily perceive that, neither myself or laws Mr. of justice Crisp has transgressed the evaded the or in the slightest truth. I swore Loyal that League Mr. meeting Crisp was not the at night any on that he was accused, but 1 did not deny that Mr. Crisp went to see Carter. This Mr. Crisp says he did and I believe it as he is a gentleman of hightone principles Mr. and Crisp undoubt¬ ed veracity, now without being could go to see Carter in the Republican meeting then the fallacy of th s assertion must plainly be seen. I know he was not in the meeting for I was there I know that T. G. Cheney was not night in Ellaville on this memoriable at which time he claims to have been chair¬ man of a Democratic meeting as my meeting business at the Republican informa¬ was to get some tion and report it to the Democrats. That T. G. Cheney was not in Ella- ville on the night refered to, can be proven by his ow r n brother and many other gentlemen. told him As to I what the Dr. says I next conie. “I went to R. C. Meadows for the statement of the fact he told me on that occasion that he saw Crisp, Carter and Lucas in the Loyal Lea¬ gue with the negroes and saw' them take the oath of fidelity and affilia¬ tion. This he told me then and this much he has told me since and this I know to have been the truth.” (Why did he come to me then if he was there.) 0! how my heart bleeds in sympathy for one so clamorous for one whose memory is so treacherous as to cause such an erronious assertion to be made and bragged on for the truth. Dr. Cheney may be honest in what he thinks but God forbid that an asser¬ tion so false and so slanderous to me shall ever receive credit of the truth by a sensible public. else I never such told Cheney or any one Cheney any thing in my life. may have been intoxicated and as is usual for drinking men may have pictured in his vivud misrepresentations imagination that these base w ere true. What motive he has for this I know not, but this I do know, the Charles F. Crisp was not at meeting on that never to be forgotten night and I never told T.G. Cheney that I saw Crisp, Lucas and Carter join the Loyal League. O! if it was in my power I would place upon T. G. Cheney a golden with wreath of consis¬ tency entwined the precious Greens of truth and hold him up to the world as a paragon of veracity and noble patriot. But Lol the cloud of falsehood has so blackened his character in the pamphlet he has written in which lie attempts to defame a pure and noble man and brand me us a liur that 1 fear it will takesevitudeof Penitence blackness for years and years to come ere the of degradation Now watch. be erased from Ids career. As to what Dr. Cheney nays “had on pages 10 and 11 that joined his Itfo., Loyal been before Crisp the of Mr. League a strong supporter learned Mr. Crisp. When he did of Crisp political Mr. infancy denial.” he Here it not is accept and I Crisp inquired both found “he both out the truth and shoulder to should¬ er John Cheney and I voted against Crisp.” Now here is his consistency on page 15, Dr. Cheney there, says he “I know Jesse I. Wait was was a member of a white Democratic or¬ ganisation at which 1 presided on the night of which I write and I distinctly recollect his being ap¬ pointed which lie by me for and the which very duty he on went so truthfully describes.” Now if this was known by Dr. Cheney why did he say on page 11 that he and his brother both enquir¬ ed and foundi out the truth and shoulder to shoulder voted against Crisp. entitled Ah! me he forgot. of This to the same amount cred¬ it as what he said I told him. I’m sorry for T. G. Cheney’s memory as 1 think he wants to write well. Though I know of no apolgy to offer the public for this untruthful review of Crisp and myself except that at some interval during the period of his manipulation of this great drink work and forgot he went out keep to get his a to up corners, as he says a lie It is as diffi¬ cult to explain a lie as it would be for humau endeavor to extinguish the internal flames of etna or Vesu¬ vius being desirous as he was to beautify his false tribute of review as much time as possible only and striving motive all in the with one vi«w that Leaguer, was to show up Crisp as a Loyal his false imagina¬ tion would grasp kind. nothing except as¬ sertions of this Furthur as to those who certified of my integrity of the who T. G. and Cheney says was out county one of whom lie says he does not know I will mentiou J. A. Cox familiarly known as Gus was living in a half m ile of this town at the very time the Dr. writes about and has lived in <>r near the county line ever since. Mr. C. L. l’eaccek instead of being in Terrell county, was living in the town at the time and boarding at the hotel. Mr. T. J. Hixon was liv¬ ing on the Crim place and made 75 bales of cotton. Now the Dr. says if five men will say thoy voted foi Crisp at the nieni- oriable election he will acknow¬ ledge that he is an unmitigated liar aiu 1 will vote for him now. Below I append the certificate. R. C. Meadows. Georgia, Schley county: citizens of We the undersigned in certi¬ said county take pleasure C. F.
