\ on will pardon me for a-king -pace
in your |aper for another card in refer
ence to the <|ui—iiou of veracity w hich
.Judge l.e.ter ha- -cell lit In make w ith
me. When my eertilieale wa- read at
Carte V-ville, flic .lodge replied to it by
-aying that if i did not mi-liuder-tand
him he told me a lie. 1 /,•/,• ilmt / ,11,1
him. Hiu to hi- reply and
explanation of w hat lie had told me n
bout hi- -tumping for Mr. Pole. I did
not object, for all I knew of the matter
wa- w hat he him-elf had -aid. and he
knew better than I, whether he had
-pnken truth nr fal-hnnd. That night,
however, when he came home, lie wa
myt at the depot hv -nine nf hi-
and a crowd of veiling hoy-, w ho hoi-t
--ed Itiin into a carriage, and by way nf
showing how well they were broken to
the bailies-, them-elve- drew him up In
llie [Kirk for a -pecch. I'hi- -cemetl In
pitll'the .lodge up until I believe he
really felt that .luliiiaCie-ar, Xapnlenn
Hnnuparte, KnJiert F.. Lee. and all other
noted warrior-, whether nf ancient nr
modern time-, w ere doomed to he 10-lto
fame when the glory of hi- wonderful
achievement--lionid lie handed down to
an admiring posterity. So, when lie
jumped upon a Imx, to tell how heroi
cally hAiad given old Felton the un
mitigated lie, he felt, that, like Itohinson
( t iisoon Iti-de-err island, "he wa-inon
areh of all lie surveyed" from the ur
elihiH tit hi- feet to negroes in the rear,
and here it was he Ima-tingly -aid that
" lie would make this town ton hot to
hold Writ, L. Barnes. Kenj. Stripling
and Albert A. Winn." Vow, Mr. Edi
tor, when 1 was told nf this cruel threat,
I looked over my insurance policies to
-ee that none had expired—wondered
if Barnes would he allowed time to
wind up hi-business ami w rite a w ill
—thought of how my friend Stripling
would lie niis-cd by the good old hard
shell brethren, with whom lie had so
long worshipped—anti this over, per
stied the even tenor of my way, await
ing develnpement-. and wondering
whether thi-dire calamity that wa- to
emne upon n- would lie brought by lire
or the sword. So far, ail that I have
heard of this i-, that the Judge never
reads my card, but replies to it by say
ing that lain hi- “personal enemy.”
Well, it he mean-by “personal enemy"
that I would do him any wrong, lie i
sadly mistaken : but if he means that I
have not that confidence and esteem for
him which i- essential toil firm and gen
erous friendship, he is exactly right. I
am now an old man, have spent m.v day
in <'ohh, striving to leSd an honest and
upright life, and there are none who
can look me in the face and truthfully
say that I have ever heen false to friend,
failed to pay an honest debt, or sought
gain by crooked and doubtful w ay-.
Pan the Judge, who now assails me,
(and w hois, by the by, entitled to ihe
sole credit of discovering that Stripling,
Barnes and 1 are unworthy of belief)
Inilh fiillji may a- much 1 The time once
wa- when I would have walked bare
footed from my home in the country to
town if necessary to <lo George N. Lester
a-orvice, for 1 then believed him true
to his word and promises; and lin le did
I think that lie would deny the truth for
the' highest ulHce in tin* land. Bill we
do not stand tbit- now—the reason of
(his change he know s, hut too well. The
lapse of time and thir-t for office have
wrought wondrous changes “lately."
Now, let me give you a few facts that
-lied light upon the matter in contro
versy. in IS7-L when Judge l.e-ter
told me that he spoke for t 'ole. he
(Pole) was then in life, and could tell
all about the matter, and how it vu
that the Judge w a- induced to-peak for
him; and-o, at that time, lie did not
pretend to deny tin* truth ol the nccii-a
tion, but gave hi-rea-oii therefor. It
you w i-h further proof ti|mn thi- -ob
ject, you can get it from such men a-. 1.

w ho w ill tell you, if called upon, wheth
er or not the Judge'- influence wa- us
ed for Pole, and w bat he said about it
before Pole died—he always explaining
hut never denying, until after that time.
Now . it doe- look -trange, that w hen
this charge wa- u-ed ail through the
tir-t campaign, and wa- lielieved by
every one, that the Judge -lionid al
ways admit and never deny the charge
w Inch, he says, i so fal-e, until the lips
of Mr. t 'ole were -till in death, w hen lie
puldi-lied a card for the first time, de
nying that any living man, woman or
child ever heard him say aught in favor
of the election of Henry G. I ole. I fear
tiie Judge's memory ha- grown treach

to heaven, and calls his maker to wit

there are -cores of men living w ho heard

Pleae allow me -pace in your col
umns to -tale the facts of a ea-e of a fi
nancial nature against the I ifitedSiate
governmeni, and w hich came tinder my
per-onal knowledge. Thi- was a claim
that my father, Gary Davis, l.ad again-t
the I’nited State-, and it pits-ed through
the Plaiui Pom mission and a l-o through
Pongre-s. About that time my father
died. In tln* meantime, my brother, P.
L. Davi-, vv a-appointed administrator
of thee-tateof G. Davis, deceased, lint
neglected to notify llichard McAllister,
attorney at law at Washington, who at
the time was attending to my father’s
case, of his appointment, until the mo
ney had passed to the Third Auditor.
At this state of affairs, I*. L. Davis, by
letter, reipiesled Dr. Felton to see IHuh
ard McAllister about the money, direct
ing him to state the death of my father
to the attorney . This put every tiling
concerning tin* case out of order, and it
became necessary for P. L. Davis either
10 go to Washington nr give someone a
power of attorney-hip. \r this time,
P. L. Davi- received a blank power of
attorney from Richard .McAllister, and
asking Davis to give him that power.
My brother eon-itlted with me about the
matter, and we decided that we would
give it to Dr. Felton when the Doctor
came borne. Myself and my brother
w ent to Partersvilie, and in the hack
room of the post office, my brother ten
dered Dr. Felton the [Kiwerof attorney,
and asked him to attend to it, which rite
Doctor kindly consented to do. After
this. I said to my brother, in tin* pres
ence of l>r. Felton, “tell tiie Doctor to
satisfy himself out of this money’ w hen
lie drawsir for his trouble." Tiie Doc
tor looked at me, and said, “I do not
charge him a cent: tiie government
pay s me to attend to any business at
Washington that any one has there,
public nr private, and I do not charge
him a cent." Vndtomv knowledge he
did not, nor would he accept a cent, and
i -ay that it is a mistake, its it is rumor
ed over this section, that Doctor Felton
charged one hundred and fifty dollars
for his trouble. There were only my
self, iiiv brother and Dr. Felton in the
room at the time. I*. L. Davis will lie
ipialitied to the above statement.

I)<m*s Judge Lester Propose to
C’itiiViiss Cherokee County dur
ing Court Week ?
We have seen the fact stated—
hut hoped, for his own sake, and
the sake of the character and call
ing of a Judge, lit* would decline
such it doubtful proceeding.
Since the days that Jeffrey made
himself notorious, and dragged
the ermine in slime, we have not
seen a parallel until lhe present
lime.
Judge H. V. Johnson will not
-peak at all urn political questions,
as it conflicts v,dih his duty, lvis
oath ami his principles.
Judge John 1. Hall declines a
Congressional canvass for the
same reason.
Behold the difference!—Look
at the spectacle!—The Bine Ridge
Judge holds to hi- office, and
draw- his pay, his brother Judges
11 11 his place and In* patrols the*
country to drive tin* citizen- into
his support, lie holds the rod
before their eyes—he makes
them tremble lor their life and
property. Support nu o, non
than *nfli\ i- the platform.
Shame upon such work! For
pity's sake Judge Lester forbear!
Act the honorable Judge, for
your own credit's sake. In olden
times a man would be disgraced
who combined the two. but Bill
lock politics allows many ways
and device- to do a thing when
desired. If there i> so much
time and Ici-mre that Judge- can
do their own work ami other peo
ple's too—why compel! the tax
payers to keep up -<> many n.-e
les-offices? They are a doubt
ful luxury. 1 -lionid -av. consid
sidered either a- ornaments or
luxuries. The next Legislature
will reduce either the office- or
ihe pay. or the cry of reform will
put a finish to each individual
career. When Ring masters rule
(he State and the Bench, it is
high time to begin the good work
—that is the only salvation nf
poor down trodden lax payers.
Judge Lester wa- commissioner

The Atlanta Conxtitnlioi, keep
a standing statement in their col
umns, that Felton refuses to meet
Lester, since he met him at Dal
ton. What are the facts! Dr.
Felton made an appointment at
Dalton, and Judge Lester made
one the same day at ihe same
place. Whether he made it after
lie heard that Felton was lo be
there or before, 1 am not inform
ed. Dr. Felton waited for him
at Dallas until one o’clock, hav
ing travelled twenty five miles
to reach the place, while Judge
Lester had only eighteen to go
from Marietta. At Dalton. Dr.
Fellon gave him equal time and
the conclusion—at Dallas, he
gave him equal time and the
conclusion. Dr. Fellon made
the same charges at Dallas,
against Commission of Immigra
tion and the State Road Lease as
at Cartersville. Judge Lester
would have heard them at Dal
ton, if his hired coquet s had not
‘•howled Dr. Felton down.” He
made but little by it—for the
Judge was not able to conclude
alter such unfair conduct.
Suppose we see why the Con
stitution does not report truth
fully. In the first plaie they
take pay’* to advocate any man,
tel of men, company or corpora
tion who use their columns." In
the next place, that paper is no
lotions all over the State for
selling itself to the State Hoad
Lessees for $5,000. In the third
place, an editor of t hat paper was
Solicitor General under Bullock,
and Judge Lester was also very
friendly to the Governor. It is
a close corporation and they are
obliged to pull together.

Judge Lester is afraid to say
lie worked for Cole. He takes
the refuge of a coward, says "he
will make Cobh County too hoi
to hold Allen Winn and Mr.
Barnes, and Mr. Stripling.” Now
if it gets too hot for them, what
is lie going to do with all the
1123. who voted for Mr. Cole, and
who are not ashamed of it, and
who understood at that time that
Judge Lester advised it and advo
cated it. Mr. (Nile was an honest
man. he took no bribe—be was
honorable, capable and true 10
i his opinion. Cobb County has no
need to he ashamed of ins vote.
G. N. Lester was in the conven
tion that put out Young, but Cobh
preferred Cole. Readkh.
Mr. Elijah Laden, a .-hoemaker

J am straight out Jbr “Old lei
ton." as the hoys call him. feel
ing as l do that he is a good man
and has made ns an able repre
sentative, and that we ought lo
reward him bv sending him back
to Congress. I have strong faith
that the people will not repudi
ate a good man, as Dr. Felton has
proven himself to be. I was in
formed that I was appointed a
delegate to the Ringgold conven
tion ; that appointment was with
out my knowledge or consent,
and l learn the so-called "organ
ized" are -till claiming me. for
what rea-on ldo not know. 1
did not attend ihe convention,
nor have 1 expressed myself as
being in favor conventions.
1 learn that the is current
the 1 lie
tv that The Ball
4fff>intd have changeT from Fel
ton to Lfikter. and 1 wish to cor
rect that ikporl. as there has not
been a single change here that 1
know of.
