In and around Tazwell and the upper part of this county within a radiuis of 8 by 15 miles in a hitherto healthy section near 40 persons have died within the last six or eight weeks. It is mostly confined to children who have had the measles followed by dysentery. The doctors could do but little with it. Mr. J. N. Souter, 10 miles from El- laviile and four out of five children are dead leaving a widow and one child. Mr. Barrow’s child who whs very low last week is dead. We are glad to learn that the disease is .sub¬ siding and those who have survived thus far are likely to recover. Rev. J. T. Lowe of this place deserves credit for his attentions to the sick. It is pleasant for us to he able to state that Mr. Souter died in the triumphs of a living faith, The grief stricken widow has the warm¬ est sympathy of the Enterprise.

Our little place says hurrah for John B. Gor¬ don. We are having a campaign with “General Green,” and he is hard to whip. Dr. T. G. Cheney is hitting at Mr. Crisp with all his power. But we don’t think he he will hit hard enough to hurt. Yesterday was a very cool and disagreeable day. Crops are looking fine, corn crops are the finest we have seen in years. The oat crop was much better than expected. Mr. Tom Mott spent Monday in Amerieus, Master Luther Bell of Amerieus, is clerking for Mr. J. H. Jackson. Mr. Jackson is traveling with his gin attachment, he is pro¬ gressing finely. Mrs. J. H. Jackson and her son has been quite sick for the past week and we are sorry to say they are convalesing slowly. Mr. J. R. Steward and family is visiting his brother in Alabama. Mr. Jim Finch is very low with the consumption and the doctor thinks if there is not a change soon he will not recover.

Mr. Editor. —Having seen oneof the numerous pamphlets purporting to he authenticated by one Dr. T. G. Cheney of Schley county,who claims to have been oneof the faithful No. present in company with the in¬ vincible and brave Jesse I. Waite, (Traitor to the southern cause) watching and protecting the cause of Democracy from the dutches of Republican demagogues in the dark days of sixty-eight. And to my great surprise and sorrow finding so many contradictory statements in said pamphlet as well as an attempt to heap at my door falsehood, 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 which the political character of Hon. C. F. Crisp is attempted to be reviewed.1 take up first the attempt in this slanderous pamphlet to tar¬ nish my name. “To one who w as there as I was this contradiction between Mr.Crisp and Mr. Meadows is a matter of supreme amusement Mr. Crisp wrote four«years Crisp’s before Mr. Meadows swore and Mr. letter was published day first in Meadows Amcri- eus the very Mr. swore in Ellaville.” Now Cheney says that without intending to east the slightest reflection on my verac¬ ity he believes if I had known that Mr. Crisp had admitted in n letter read in Amerieus 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 writing 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 of the two assertions made and a fair minded public will readily perceive that, neither myself or Mr. Crisp has transgressed the laws of justice or in the slightest evaded the truth. I swore that Mr. Crisp was not at any on the that he was accused, but I did not deny that Mr. Crisp went to see Carter. This Mr. Crisp says he did and I believe it as lie is a gentleman of high tone principles and undoubt¬ ed veracity, now if Mr. Crisp could go to see Carter without being in fallacy the Republican assertion meeting must then plainly the of th s be seen. I know he was not in the meeting for I was there I know that T G. Cheney was notin Ellaville on this memorable night at which time he claims to have been chair- man of a Democratic meeting as my business at the Republican Inform,,. ,„e«,h,S was to get jo™. tion and report Cheney it to the Democrats, in Ella- That T. G. was not ville on the night refered to, can be proven nrnvcn Lx- D> his ills own own brother uroiner anu and many Dr. other gentlemen. I told him As to I what the says next come. “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 aflilia- tion. This he told me then and «*!• ™yh ■? «** -•»"■<* »"<! this I know to have been the truth.” (Why did he come to me then if he was there.) O! how for' mv heart bleeds in sympathy 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. Chenev t neney may irniv he oe honest nonest in in what wnurne he thinks but God forbid that an asser- tion so false unci so slanderous to me shall ever receive credit of the truth by a sensible public. I never told Cheney or any one else any such thing in my life. Cheney may have been intoxicated and as is usual for drinking men may have pictured in his vivid imagination that these base misrepresentations he has for this were I know true. What motive not, but this I do know, Charles F. Crisp was not at the meeting on that never to be forgotten Cheney night and I never told T. G. that 1 saw Crisp, Lucas and O! Carter if join the Loyal League. it was in my power I would place upon T. O. Cheney a golden wreath of consis¬ tency entwined with tne precious Grems of truth and hold him ufp to the world as a paragon of veracity and noble patriot. But Lo! the cloud of falsehood has so blackened his character in which the h<> pamphlet he to has written in attempts defame a pure and noble man and brand me as a liar that I fear it will takesevitudeof Penitence blackness for years and years to come ere the of degradation be erased from his career. Now watch. As to wliat Dr. Clieney says “had on pages 10 and 11 that Ms Rro., been before strong Crisp joined supporter the of Loyal Mr. League When a he learned of Mr. Crisp. political infamoy he did not Crisp Mr. Crisp denial.? Here it is accept “he I both inquireif both found and should¬ out the truth and shoulder to er John Cheney and I voted against Crisp.” Now here Is his consistency on page 15, Dr.. Clieney says “I know Jesse I. Wait was'there, he w as a member of a white Democratic or¬ ganization at which which I I presided write and on I the night of distinctly recollect his being ap¬ pointed by me for tlie Very duty on which he went and which he 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 found out the truth and shoulder to shoulder voted against Crisp, Ah! me he forgot. Tldsjs entitled to the same amount of cred¬ it as what lie said I told him. I’m sorry for T. <1. Cheney’s write memory well. as I think he wants to Though I know of no untruthful upolg.v to offer the public for this review of Crisp and myself during except the that at some interval period of his manipulation of this great work he went out to get u drink and forgot to keep up his corners, as he says a lie is as diffi¬ cult to explain as it would be for human 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 as (Htssible and striving ail the time with only one motive in view that was to show up Crisp as a Loyal Leaguer, his false imagina¬ tion would grasp nothing except as¬ sertions of this kind. Furthur as to those who certified of my integrity who T. G. and Cheney says was out of the county one of whom he says he does not know I will mention J. A. Cox familiarly known as Gus was living in a half mile of this town at the very time the Dr. writes about and has lived in or near the county line ever since. Mr. C. L. Peaccck instead of being in Terrell county, was living in the town at the time and hoarding 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 they voted foi Crisp at the mem¬ orable election he will acknow¬ ledge that he is an unmitigated Below liar and will vote for him now. I append the certificate. R. C. M EADOW8, Georgia, Schley undersigned county: citizens of We the said county take pleasure in certi¬ fying that we voted for C. F. Crisp for Ordinary in 68 and we believe then as we do now that he was a Democrat we are proud we voted for him then and will be proud to vote for him again. This June 22nd, 1886. Rolit. Patton, J. H.
