(iKEENville, Ga., August 31.—Edit- .Enquirer-Sun: The Enquirer-Sun <>f the 9tli contained a long letter from • Hon. Peter W. Martin,” which was , mlv an enlarged edition of his first epistle. He is bolstered up by a short editorial in the same issue of the En nui rer-Sun in which the editor says: ‘We believe we have already proved beyond boubt that Mr. Adams is a Democrat. We have published the : stimony of Judges Ferrell and Long- j«v, and other Democrats of equal prominence.” To Mr.* Martin, who puts forth the same plea, we say, yes, rlie Enquirer-Sun did publish garbled -extracts” from the testimony of Messrs. Ferrell and Longley and oth ers, but as the Vindicator was not al lowed the opportunity to cross-examine rhese gentlemen, it asked for their tes- i imony entire, but the Enquirer-Sun re fused, and still doth refuse, to give this I irecious testimony entire, because the !■:uirer-Sun dared not give it. Revill proposed to pay for the publication of i he card of Judges Ferrell and Longley, ami yet the Enquirer-Sun cannot screw its courage up to the sticking point and publish this oft paraded testimony i n its entirety ! This keeping back part of the testimony and harping on the rest is prudent—very prudent. The Vindicator knowing the character of t he evidence of “Messrs. Ferrell and Ixmgley and others,” has been exceed ingly anxious that it should be given t lie public entire, instead of the gar bled “extracts” that have been dished out. Mr. Martin, perhaps, having an inkling of the true inwardness of the Ferrell-Longley card, as well as the cards “of others,” has not asked for the publication of the testimony behind which he and the Enquirer-Sun keep dodging, and we guess he will never ask for the publication, except in bro- ken doses. He adds in his last letter, “that not a man signed Adams’ peti- i ion but did so convinced of Adams’ loyalty to the Democratic party.” Yet, he dares not publish the testimony of the signers in full. Why not? Be cause the full testimony would disprove t he statement of Mr. Martin above quoted. We have repeatedly called for the entire testimony, but might as well have “called spirits, spirits from t he vasty deep,” for nothing has been given in response but selected “ex tracts.” Again, we respectfully sub mit the statement that the Enquirer- Sun aifd Mr. Martin have not published t lie testimony of their own witnesses, because they dared not do it. Here we might rest our case, but having pointed, direct testimony of our own we submit it for consideration, leaving the public to decide whether or not Mr. Adams is afflicted with a bad case of “Republican antecedents.” We publish our testimony in full, not in ex tracts. Mr. Martin asserts that “not a man signed Adams’ petition but did so con vinced of Adams’ loyalty to the Demo cratic party,” Let’s see: Hon Peter F. Smith, of Newnan, was one of the signers. Hear him: Newnan, August 12, 1SS7.— At the time I signed the petition of Mr. J. C. Adams I knew absolutely nothing of his political antecedents. The petition, as 1 now remember, was presented to me during court week by Hon. W. A. Turner, and at his special instance and request I signed it. I have no personal acquaintance with Mr. Adams. "I did not know then, and do not know now, auvthing of his political affiliations and did not certify to his; Democracy. P. F. Smith. Mr. Martin and his. backers see that rhe Adams petition was circulated in Newnan by the Hon-W. A. Turner, a kinsman of Mr. Adams. Mr. Smith’s card meets every point and could not have been made stronger had the Vindicator dictated it. More certifi cates of the same character can be pub lished if desired. But Mr. Martin says: “Who says Adams was ever a Republican?” Again he says: “Let Mr. Revill name the Democrats and patrons of the Hogans- ville postolflce who asked for Adams' removal because he was not a Demo crat.” Well, here is the very testimo ny Mr. Martin asks for. It is a pity he didn’t demand something difficult. Read what Mr Adams’ neighbors and the Democratic “patrons of the Ho- gansville postoffice” say: Hogansville, August 12, 1887. I have known Mr. J. (.'. Adams for years. We have during that time lived in the same towir. During this time he did not affiliate with the Democrat ic party and has not been regarded by his neighbors as a Democrat, but as a man of Republican proclivities. J. F. Askew. Does Mr. Martin desire more testi mony? If so, here it is, and to the point. Listen: Hogansvilee, August 12, 1887. ertify that we asked for the removal f Mr. J. C. Adams, late postmaster, or the reason that he never affiliated rith the Democratic party when there ras a contest between a Democrat and Republican, and having reasons to elieve that he leaned to the Republi- an party and aided them in their elec- ions. M. H.. Hightower, B. T. Moreland, E. M. Owensby, * E. Mobley, J. II. Smith, S. N. Reid. These are among the very best men in Hogansville, or the State of Georgia. Does their evidence convince Mr. Mar tin ? If not, we tender the following from Hon. James F. Jones, a member from Troupe county to the last State Legislature. It is short and pointed: Hogansville, August 12, 1887. Mr. J. C. Adams, former postmaster at Hogansville, was in sympathy with the Republican party, and was so con- siderea by the people here. J. F. Jones. Is Mr. Martin still incredulous, and does he still hunger and thirst for more testimony ? Then we submit the fol lowing for his critical consideration, from a near kinsman of benator Col quitt : Hogansville, August, 1887. I, L II. Lane, certify that I have lived in Hogansville, and near there, for the past fifteen years, and that Mr. J. C. Adams was regarded as a Republican, and it was understood-that he received his appointment as postmaster because lie was a Republican, and he was re garded by the public generally as a Re publican. I* H- Lane. Should Mr. Martin still be unwilling to shell down the corn,” and hold that his demand for testimony proving the Republican antecedents of Mr. Ad ams has not been fully responded to,” we present the following certificate from a former Hogansville resident. If he does not pronounce it a centre shot we are greatly mistaken. Let the readers of the Enquirer-Sun note the certificate carefully. It is from one of our most worthy young men and true Democrats: I was one of the managers of a Democratic primary election at Ho gansville, held for the election of mem bers of the Legislature for Troup coun ty in the summer of 1884, and the ques tion was raised as to whether Mr. J. C. Adams, then postmaster, was entitled to vote in said Democratic primary, and the managers decided that he was not entitled to vote, on account of his Re publican proclivities. J. B. Jarrell. Couldn’t vote at a Democratic pri mary! “That do settle it.” But Mr. Martin grandiloquently asks if Revill knew of Mr. Adams’ Republi can antecedents, why keep silent until after Adams was appointed postal clerk? He says: “Had Rfevill’s now un fair insinuations been then couched in open, manly warnings to the powers that be, it had been kind.” To this we might rest content by replying that we did not suppose it necessary to publish the fact that the Republican postmas ters at Talbotton, Columbus, LaGrange, Hogansville, Grantville, Newnan and other places in the district were Repub licans, for we thought that all persons of ordinary information knew and recog nized the fact. But Mr. Martin may be fully answered at once. We will state that after the Ferrell-Longley card was read in Greenville and the Adams petition passed around for sig natures, two letters were written from Greenville to our present Congress man, whom we may style “the powers that be,” informing him of the “Re publican antecedents” of Mr. Adams. Thus, the very thing that Mr. Martin says wd ought to have done was done. Does our friend desire sworn certifi cates of the above statement ? He can get them if lie desires. The foregoing, Mr. Editor, are the facts in the Adams matter. Could you afford the space, and were “the game worth the candle,” it would be amus ing to hold up to the public gaze some of Mr. Martin’s characteristic sentences and ludicrous blunders. His idea of antecedent is truly an original one when he represents Lincoln, Grant, Hayes, Garfield and Arthur as the po litical antecedents of President Cleve land, especially when reviewing our assertion that a man is to be judged by his acts, his deeds, his antecedents. That these Republican Presidents were Mr. Cleveland’s predecessors is true, but they were not his political ante cedents, acts or deeds, as anybody can see. Mr. Martin attempts to sneer at the fact that thirty “true and tried” Dem ocratic applicants for postal clerk were passed by, and Mr. Adams, the only Republican applicant, appointed. On this we have no farther comments to make. The Democracy of the district can decide that open question between us and our friend. Mr. Martin says: “Revill is honest, pays his debts, is sober, law-abiding, goes to church, gives to the poor and pays the preacher,” and then prophesies our early and complete overthrow. As long as we remain what he says we are the good people of Meriwether are not going back on us. If we forfeit their good will by becoming dishonest, re fusing to pay our debts, turn drunk ard. break the laws, stay away from church and quit paying the preacher, we shall not complain at being cast aside. While our friend accuses us of raising the prohibition issue in Meriwether, it is well known that we sought, on ac count of what seemed to us good and sufficient reasons, to postpone action this year. But when the question did come up, we acted in accordance with our convictions aud wrote, spoke and voted for prohibition. We have never voted and made public speeches in Coweta for prohibition, and worked for whiskey in Mefiwether. W. T. Revill. vertisement sent out by advertising agencies. After nearly one month of diligent work Mr. Revill has succeeded in finding about a half dozen obscure citizens and zealous supporters of Hon. Henry R. Harris who are willing to sign a “certificate” that Mr. Adams was suspected of having Republican “proclivities” because he held a little postoffice at Hogansville. Mr. Revill’s article is very ingeniously written with a view to confusing the credulous and unsuspecting. It pretends to be a re ply to Mr. Martin, but it will not take a Solomon to understand that it is aimed directly at Congressman Grimes. It might be well to notice, however, that Mr. Revill does not publish a sin gle “certificate” that positively states that Mr. Adams was ever a Republi can. The only man known outside of the neighborhood in which he lives, whose name is given by Mr. Revill, is Hon. Peter F. Smith. He states that he knows nothing about Mr. Adams’ politics. Mr. Smith has been a candi date for Congress and if Adams, who lived near him, had been a Republican he would have been more than apt to have known it. When Mr. Revill states that the En quirer-Sun published garbled extracts from letters received by Hon. Thomas W. Grimes, he makes a statement that it is not true. The Enquirer-Sun pub lished extracts, but the extracts were not garbled and were pertinent to the point in controversy. There was noth ing in the Longley-Ferrell letter that could not be published to the world, and we believe that nobody knows this better than Mr. Revill. He dwells up on our refusal to publish it simply as a subterfuge. He knows that the peo ple will believe the testimony of such gentlemen, and he adroitly attempts to “laugh it out of court.” It is true that Mr. Revill wrote Con gressman Grimes a letter, saying that it was reported that Mr. Adams was a Republican; but Mr. Revill was advo cating the cause of another man. Mr. Grimes could not ignore the testimony of sudh well-known and time-tried Democrats as Judge Longley and Judge Ferrell. They stated without reserve tion that Mr. Adams is a true and life long Democrat. There was also a pe tition for Mr. Adams’ appointment from the home of Mr. Revill. It was signed by a number of prominent Dem ocrats, among whom were several county officers. The Enquirer-Sun and the people of the Fourth district un derstand thoroughly the motive which prompts Mr. Revill to make this attack upon Congressman Grimes through Mr. Adams. Mr. Adams’ failure to dance to Mr. Revill’s music year after year has brought down upon him the wrath of that venerable editor. Mr. Revill is a very large man, but he is not the Democratic party, and because a man should happen to be disloyal to him and his candidate he is not a Republi can. If Mr. Revill wants his certifi cates to pass current he should first in troduce the men who signed them to the people of the Fourth district. The Story of a Music Teacher. New York. Sun. “To a man like me, who has little ca pacity for business,” said a music teach er, “it is almost disheartening to see people of scarcely any ability succeed while I have to make every exertion to keep body and soul together. That energetic young woman you met going out has twice as many pupils as I have. She has been studying exactly six months, and I instruct her in the les son in the morning which she teaches her pupils in the afternoon. She says she is making a good living, but that she finds it hard work to keep up with her pupils* Here is the case of an in competent teacher who owes her suc cess solely to her capacity for business. People help her along because she is so persevering and so very anxious to make a name for herself. She goes everyw r here, makes friends by the score, is ahvays ready to tender her services for charitable entertainments, and keeps her name constantly before the public. She lias been taking lessons only a couple of months, and was still practicing the scales, when she told me she was down for a difficult piece at a fashionable concert. I was astounded. She laughed and said I was to play the piece in one of the wings, and that she would merely sit on rhe stage and pre tend to play on a dumb piano. I felt that her proposition was an insult, but she seemed so anxious to make a suc cessful debut that I reluctantly con sented to the deception. She assured me that this dummy play was quite common among purse-proud mammas with uncultured daughters.” ceeding fifty feet. Their age is variously estimated. The rules by which botanists determine the age of trees are not ap plicable to them, for their stems have ceased to grow in regular concentric rings. The Arabs, of all creeds, have a traditional veneration for these trees. They believe that an evil fate would surely overtake anyone who shall dare to lay sacrilegious hands on the “saints,” as they fondly call them.

The grove from which King Solomon brought so much lumber now consists of some 400 trees, old and young, and is about three-fourths of a mile in cir cumference. Learned travelers think that most of the trees in the grove may be two hundred years old, and several between the ages of four hundred and eight hundred years. There are twelve trees whose ages are incalculable—sev en standing near each other, three more a little further on, and two on the northern edge of the grove. The largest of these two is sixty-three feet in circumference—following the sinu osities of the hark. One of the others measures forty-nine feet.
