’ff ®hi{ gyald and TUcytiscr. Newnan, Ga., Friday, Jan. 6, 1888. WEEKLY CIRCULATION, 1,750. JA8. E BROWN. Editor. A CHARGE AND A DENIAL. A Correction. Mr. Editor:— For the Bake of justice, T will correct a card I saw in the daily 1 '(institution of December 23d, from the . Newnan correspondent, in regard to E. W. Morgan and Tolly Moats. There were some mistakes in the statement, but in the main the facts are true. They did not knock Roaoing off his mule; hut they pulled him off on his head, and Morgan placed his knee on Roan- -ng’s neck and choked him nearly to death—until he could be heard breath ing fifty yards. Roaning tried to bite rheir hands, and Morgan told him if he hit him he would kill him right there. They did not tear Roaning’s coat off, for he was already in his shirt-sleeves, but they nearly tore his shirt off in the ucuffie to tie him. After they got him lied, Morgan told him (Roaning) that he had a warrant for him and that he might consider himself under arrest, (loaning was not having cotton ginned, hut had loaned his mule to a neighbor to haul with, and Morgan had levied on the mule, but Roaning knew nothing of the levy when he got on the mule Morgan never told him that he had levied on the mule, or that he had a warrant for him; so eye-witnesses say who saw the whole difficulty. Morgan would not let Roaning ride, although there was an empty wagon and an ex tra mule, on either of which he could have ridden to the Justice’s house, pendent was not aware of the general character of his client, (Roaning,) who, ’ while being a good, clever man, has a natural and deep-seated antipathy to legal authority and its enforcement by duly delegated officers. Perhaps the correspondent in question is not aware of the fact that when Roaning heard that his mule had been levied upon by the regular constable that he went to several of his neighbors and endeavor ed to borrow a loaded shot-gun for the purpose of killing said constable, and when this was refused endeavored to obtain an axe to accomplish his pur poses; and, finally, would have content ed himself with a crow-bar had he not been prevented by persons who knew his violent and dangerous character. Perhaps the learned and truthful ■ orrospondent of the Constitution was not aware of the fact that a few days prior to the so-called outrage the same constable, in endeavoring to serve a paper from an authorized Court of competent jurisdiction, was met by a shower of stones and abuse that drove him, unarmed as he was, from the field and compelled him to obtain help before lie could perform his sworn du ly. These facts, and a great many others, are perhaps unknown to the Constitution correspondent, or we are loth to believe that he would have written such an article. Now, the Friends begged them to let him ride, but they would not heed, and he was forced to walk through the mud and «lush, while young Mca^slield the rope, which was tied tightly around the poor man’s neck and arms, and like a sheep to the slaughter he was driven to the magistrate’s house. On arriving he en treated them to take the man to the fire, which they refused to do. The magistrate found that he could not prevail upon them to take the‘rope off and give him a chance to make bond; he then ordered the bailiff to turn him loose. Morgan replied that he would not. The magistrate asked which had the greatest authority, him as a court or he as a bailiff. Morgan did not want to turn the poor man loose, even after he had made him walk for several miles through the mud. Morgan went with the intention of treating the man Tike a brute. He tried to borrow a rope from a young naan, and when the young i nan jwked what he wanted with it, he «aid he “wanted to tie a bear.” People who saw him with the man tied up with the rope say it .was the most out- -agepus and inhuman act they had ever witpeaaed, -and the citizens of this ommunity are very indignant about t hje matter. Y. Z. sentation of facts in connection with the occurrence mentioned, and so de void of truth, that in justice to myself and the citizens of Coweta county, I deem it proper to reply to the same through the columns of your valuable paper. The facts of the occurrence are as follows; A mortgage fi. fa. against a mule be longing to James Roaning was placed in my hands to be served. In obedi ence to the mandates of the law, and in the performance of my duty as consta ble of Cedar Creek district, I went, in company with J. T. Moats, to serve said papers. After making search, I found the mule the fi. fa. was against in pos session of J. T. Reese. Mr. Reese had the mule hitched to a wagon and was hauling some cotton to a gin. I levied on the mule and Mr. Reese insisted that I allow him to keep the mule long enough to carry his cotton to the gin. I consented, and went with him to the gin. Upon arriving at the gin, and while Mr. Reese and myself were un loading the' cotton, James Roaning came up and got on the mule and at tempted to ride it away. I stopped him and told him that I had levied on the mule; and also told him that I had a warrant for him. He remained on tlie mule and objected to me taking him or the mule, and began to talk in a very rough, abusive and defiant man ner to me. I then called Mr. Moats to my assistance and Mr. Moats and my self pulled Roaning from the mule. He resisted us to such an extent that, through fear of his escape, and also of bodily harm, we found it necesary to tie him with a rope. We then carried him to the residence of J. P. Reese, and Mr. Reese agreeing to become respon sible for Roaning’s appearance, we re leased him. Mr. Roaning was accorded every courtesy possible, under the circum stances, and he certainly did not suffer any more from being exposed to the Letters of Dismission.

Mr. Editor:—Seeing in the Atlanta Constitution a very sensational article, from the pen of the very sensational Newnan correspondent of the Con stitution, in which two worthy citizens of Coweta county were slandered in a most shameful and abusive manner, we have thought it proper as neighbors and friends of the slandered parties to make this reply through your excellent paper. We are well assured that all persons acquainted with the Munchausen pro pensities of the correspondent of the Constitution at this place, will not give the matter a moment's serious thought; but those who are so fortunate as not to he acquainted with the ruling pas sion of the aforesaid correspondent may perhaps be led into error, and for their consideration is this article written. To say that there is no truth in the ar ticle in the Constitution would perhaps be putting it too mild; it is simply a fabrication, from the whole cloth, writ ten for no other reason, that we can see, except that the said correspondent is in the pay of Roaning and desired, while slandering the fair name of his own county and her citizens, to make a little cheap legal capital for a proba ble case in Court. Perhaps the corres- character of Mr. Morgan is too well and favorably known to the citizens of Newnan and Coweta county to need any commendation from us. He is a brave, honorable officer, a good citizen of the county, and stands high in the estimation of the people of hie district. As to Mr. Roaning’s character we have nothing to say, for or against. We simply leave the two men in the hands of their neighbors and the citizens of this county, and do not fear their ver dict. Application for Leave to Sell.
